The scheduler and upload server are currently disabled. So someone might be in, or remoted in, the lab poking the servers. Or it could be just a temporary blip. I have often seen the upload server show up as disabled even though things are flowing normally.....it was just taking a bit of a nap when the server status snapshot was taken. But I hope you are right, and somebody is fiddling with the controls. EDIT....Both are back online now. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

It probably was just their automated scripts taking them down for a bit. :( SETI@home classic workunits: 93,865 CPU time: 863,447 hours Join the [url=http://tinyurl.com/8y46zvu]BP6/VP6 User Group[ |

Network traffic continues to fall, no new work for several hours now. Result creation rate is 10/sec- but i haven't been able to get any of them. A couple more hours & my GPUs will be out of work again. Grant Darwin NT |

Yep, I'm out of all GPU work, and CPU work has just a few hours left. I had just caught my RAC from free fall, but here it goes again... Steve Warning, addicted to SETI crunching! Crunching as a member of GPU Users Group. GPUUG Website |

at the rate our RAC's are falling we won't be able to post much longer!!! |

the two days of work was good while it lasted. GPU will be done in two hours. Plenty of AP's for a couple of days. |

(he takes 18mins to make a cuda, and 5 to 6 hrs to make a cpu one :S) It ha been a coincidence for quite some time now that slow machines seem to have near-zero difficulty in getting work, whilst more powerful machines go idle for many hours with dozens of "project has no tasks available" messages. Some call it a conspiracy, but I just find it interesting. Maybe it has something to do with the number of seconds of work that is being requested. My slower machine usually asks for <100 seconds of work and gets a single MB every time it asks. Same for when it was AP-only. It would ask for <1000 seconds of work and get an AP nearly every single time. Meanwhile, the main cruncher would ask for >2M seconds and got "no tasks available." Interesting indeed.

Probably not. I don't think there's anything actually specifically hard-coded into the server-side logic to do this sort of thing. It's just one of those things that just happens. Granted, I've been observing it on my machines for quite some time, but there have been a few other people here on the forums to find similar situations. Such as a few weeks ago, there was a slow P4 machine that was somehow managing to get dozens of APs/day when everyone else with reliable and fast machines couldn't get any, and that machine was erroring-out on every single one of the APs it got.

Results Ready to Send for MB has climbed in the last few minutes to 600. Everyone's cache must be full (LOL) MB assimilators are still climbing too, maybe the source of the blockage. edit: OOPS, spoke too soon, 5 min later RTS is 0. Dave |

Looks like completed and validated WUs are not being removed from the system. My number of valid tasks is very very high right now. That is most likely what the snag is. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

Well the economy is bad even though it's an election year, but when you even run out of volunteer work it's pretty sad indeed. When we finally figure it all out, all the rules will change and we can start all over again. |

This might not be the right place for this message. The 'APOD' site has a direct link to 'Seti at Home' today. |

Searching for aliens using you own computer?!?!?! Whatever will they think of next... Still PrimeGridding here. Looking forward to hearing what the interference on long wave radio of SETI CUDA tasks sound like (...). |

I have might a stupid guess. Given that the completed WUs can not be removed, may be there is disk space ended, and splitters are just nowhere to place new WUs? |

Well, I see that ET still has control of the servers and is doing their best to throttle the distribution of new work. We must be getting close...LOL. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |
