Noticed the network traffic has dropped off, so i had a look in my messages tab & it's getting a lot of "Project has no tasks available" and "No tasks sent" messages. It's trying to get work, it's just not receiving it.

The main reason the bandwidth dropped off is the AP splitters are not running at the moment.

"Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once."

As of now, that is only one AP splitter and not a lot of data for it to chew on,
Looks like it will be `that` kind of evening on this side of the pond.

...and by the time I read your post the coal in the AP splitting boiler had run out...

I missed some Astropulse's being split? Oh man, I'm currently crunching the last one in my cache. Time to panic me thinks.

My rig just jumped into high priority mode and is leaving work unfinished all over the place. I can't even remember the last time that happened. I do have about 6900 wu's on board, which seems a wee high for a 5 day cache. Even with that amount, I should have no trouble crunching them.

Not really a panic, but I am doing a Spock raised eyebrow.....

Well, you'll survive, also have 4 times the throughput of my hosts...
Since I'm still running BOINC 7.00.25, almost all SETI, MB also Astropulse
are run High Priority....MW, too. Merely cosmetic?

I've just crunched a few on ATI 5870 GPUs, 3 to 4 hours runtime,
9,779.41 6,056.19 CPU in behandeling* AstroPulse v6
Anoniem platform (ATI GPU) High CPU time is due to the high % of blanking.
*Checked no 2nd result, yet.(I'm waiting for my {wing-}man).

I could do with some more AstroPulse work, though.
Panic, no way, besides thats where Back-Up Projects can be used for ;-).

Oh good, they must be splitting shorties again - I could do with a few of them.

I am on 2600 wu's with my single GTX560 and a 5 day cache.

I've SETI@home Enhanced (1784), (In behandeling)* (831)MB crunched, reported
and waiting for a cannonical result. 3 Astropulse WUs reported.
Less then 1000 a.t.m. on my i7-2600+ 2x ATI 5870 GPUs, 12 a time, have to
set a larger cache, but I'm never out of work, so I let it be.

Most of the regular posters, volunteer developpers, testers,
have an almost 10 fold throughput, since the(y) use of CUDA (FERMI/KEPPLER) and
OpenCL 1.2(ATI-AMD{SDK} 2.4)! More or less. Look at these Results,

I've had the same, a run of "fast" regular WU's then a few crunchy ones, it upsets (increases) the estimated completion time and with a larger cache its enough to cause Boinc to panic.

Sometimes it will jump in and out of high priority mode, if you have got a bunch of longer running WU's when one finnishes it will kick it into high priority mode and start doing a bunch of shorties, then as the esimated completion time drops it will start back on the longer running ones untill it completes another one and then kicks back into high priority mode again.

There does not seem to be a lot of VLAR's or VHAR's around, but there seems to be a lot of variation (runtime wise) on the regular WU's.

Yup, i am crunching shorties as well most of the names end in VLAR
And this 7970 munches them, yum yum :¬)

VLAR, I nicked them.
Get yer ands off my vlar`s their mine all mine :¬)

I picked up some APs from earlier. Was getting kind of close to an empty cache again there.. but I'm good for another ~1 day or so now. Would love to fill the 10-day cache up again though.

Linux laptop:
record uptime: 1511d 20h 19m (ended due to the power brick giving-up)

Is this thing on?
Not getting any work, just set this up today 6-5-12
If this is not the place to ask please point me to the
right place, eh?

Just visited the VLA in New Mexico on highway 60.
Most impressive and very interesting. We will go
back for the tour.

I am only 90 miles from Roswell, NM, do you want me to
go look around there? I have heard rumors.......

Peace, Bob

So before the maintenance, I got 16 APs. No more since it came back up since there aren't any tapes available to split. C'mon tapes..

6.10.60, no fetch issues at all. Heck over the weekend I forgot to check on it and found 8000 tasks for 2 GPU's. Eek.

"Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once."

I'm seeing that, too. The whole website is doing it. Even the task pages.
