I´m still catching work and the downloads aren´t to bad. With each crime and every kindness we birth our future. |

Not sure if anybody will get in to the lab to attempt repairs over the weekend or if we are in limp mode until Monday. + an additional hour for some of us...[sarcasm]Thank You, Ben![/sarcasm] :) Lt |

I am really hoping that at least one step is taken during tomorrows outage to get closer to a goal of raising the limits. Being able to build a cache would be wonderful about now. Steve Warning, addicted to SETI crunching! Crunching as a member of GPU Users Group. GPUUG Website |

Well, my best rig has just crunched up the last of the Seti work in the ol' biz bag. Now you know why the kitties have been stumping for higher cache limits for the past few weeks. They are now downloading a bit o' Einstein to occupy them whilst Seti sorts. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once."

I still have a few CPU units to crunch, but the GPU's are dead empty. If my CPU runs out, I'll switch to Einstein also. I was just building a head of steam before this happened. At least when the gates are opened, I have corrected any and all problems on my end. I am in total agreement that I would like to see the limits raised. The way it is now, every tiny outage or issue causes me to run dry. Steve Warning, addicted to SETI crunching! Crunching as a member of GPU Users Group. GPUUG Website |

It just waits in the wings as long as Seti is crunching. It did not download anything until the last GPU WU for Seti had completed. And it runs on GPU only here.

Mark, if you find a pulsar over at Einstein your life would not be worse. |

You'll get the work, no problem, but at that speed it'll take around five minutes (rough estimate) to download each task. If you set BOINC only to request work once the last SETI task has finished, then the GPU will have 5 minutes to thoroughly cool down before heating up to running temperature again. That's quite a thermal stress cycle. |

Down to a single CPU astropulse.....the computer room seems cold. |
