Yep, the Cricket Graph took another nose dive again. :( Cheers. |

Comms now back up, well I have uploaded, waiting to see if I can report/request. First attempt failed. As I type reported ok, but no tasks available. |

I am receiving some new tasks (although not enough to fill my cache). Problem is the estimated computation time for these new tasks. I'm running Lunatics optimized CUDA on my GT240 and the 'shorties' take slightly less than 5 minutes to complete. The new tasks I am receiving have an estimated computation time of only 58 seconds. This probably means they will error out after twice that time. I know there have been server side changes and I was able to solve similar problems two weeks ago by removing the FLOPS entry from my app_info file. Now something seems to have changed once again. Is there anything I can do to prevent the tasks from being aborted because they take too long to process ? I would hate to waste the small number of tasks I do receive ... Tom |

This probably means they will error out after twice that time. Don't worry. Tasks only error out if they take ten times as long as expected. The current estimates are, deliberately, five times too short, to avoid reaching that error limit. Just let them run normally. As soon as the first "58 second" task has completed - which will take the normal five minutes - BOINC will realise what's going on and adjust the estimates for the remaining new tasks. You will, temporarily, have a larger cache than you expected, but again - and again deliberately - the quota limit is in place to prevent things getting out of hand. |

well, at least I reported everything now, but as no AP's seem to get validated there are more problems on the way I suppose... The machine I left running last night didn't report anything on it's own, but had to be "helped" this morning. Still enough work though as I was so lucky to get almost 30 AP's thursday... |

This probably means they will error out after twice that time. sort of similar problem here as I have 1 AP left from when the estimates were made too high. Now this WU has a est. time of 108 hours when it just takes 12 to 13 hours to process on my CPU. At least all the other WU's seem to be "back to normal" now... |

the 'shorties' take slightly less than 5 minutes to complete. The new tasks I am receiving have an estimated computation time of only 58 seconds. For me the estimates are all over the place. The DCF is moving around between 0.7 & 1.5. As each GPU tasks complete, their ridiculously long completion times slowly drop, making the almost correct CPU times drop as well. They get down to about half of the actual completion time is when one finally completes & the estimates get bumped up; pushing the GPU task completion times to new heights of ridiculousness. Hopefully Seti can stay up for the next few days & things will start to settle down. Although things are still looking bit broken- doesn't look as though AP work is going out. And a lot of the requests for work result in none. Sometimes i get 1 or 2 WUs, occasionally i'll get 20+. But mostly it's "Project has no tasks available". Grant Darwin NT |

Everything's still working at the moment.... The kitties are in there scrapping for anything the servers can send. Not getting a lot, but enough to keep things a bit warmer in the crunching den. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." |

I had the same problem around the time you posted your message. Things seem to be working again. I just received 40 (!) new workunits and they downloaded really fast (less than 1.5 minutes for all 40 of them). No big surprise as the cricket graph isn't maxed out, but still nice to see ...

The main message for my 3 PC's for the last 4-6 hours has been, "This computer has reached a limit on tasks in progress", with the occasional 1-10 tasks being received every 4th or 5th request. Cheers. |

S@H has been running with a cap on tasks in progress (in other words a limit on the number of tasks you can have on each cruncher) for some time. Each cruncher is allowed 50 per CPU core, and 400 per GPU. (My figures might be wrong, I deduced them from the number of tasks on my crunchers.)

Well after a fair period of no uploads or downloads it seems that the system has settled and all the gripes can be forgotten until the next time, no expectations no regrets lets all do it for the one in a bazillion chance to say we have proven that there is life out there beyond our little blue planet. Keep on crunching and greetings to all on our little planet called Earth. |

Someone must have kicked the routers at HE very hard - yiiihhha Just got 40 WUs and downloaded them in under 2 minutes, in spite of cricket nearly maxed out - and pinging the servers is as fast as never before (from my point of the world) :-) . __W__ _______________________________________________________________________________ |

The main message for my 3 PC's for the last 4-6 hours has been, "This computer has reached a limit on tasks in progress", with the occasional 1-10 tasks being received every 4th or 5th request. Each one of your three hosts shows either 449 or 450 tasks in progress. That's the current limit for CPU and GPU tasks combined. Subject to the usual caveats about hitting the feeder when it has suitable tasks available, you'll get a fresh task in exchange for each completed task you return. |

Yes it's certainly nowhere near my usual cache capacity but then again I also have quite a bit of CPU work from backup projects for a safety buffer (so far it only seems to be CPU work that I run out of, the GPU work has remained SETI only). Cheers. |
