A new year, the coldest night of the winter so far here (-3f), and the servers go down. GPUs are starting to cool down already. Meowsigh. But, Happy New Year anyway!

My BOINC have SAH GPU WUs for the next ~ 9 hours, for the CPU much more/longer. Then maybe secondary projects - if noone checked/rebooted the server in the meantime .. Hmm .. - no panic here. A Happy New Year to all. [EDIT: Just disabled the sig.] ID: 1323077 ·

We are also having our server closet air conditioner repaired, and will be completely off line from January 14th to January 15th. Does this mean (from - to): Fr Jan/04 - 17:00 UTC Sa Jan/05 Su Jan/06 Mo Jan/07 - 17:00 UTC .. and .. Mo Jan/14 - 17:00 UTC Tu Jan/15 We Jan/16 - 17:00 UTC .. or is someone at Jan/06 & Jan/15 in the lab and switch on all server at the late afternoon/in the night and checked if everything start well? * Best regards! :-) * Sutaru Tsureku, team seti.international founder. * Optimize your PC for higher RAC. * SETI@home needs your help. * ID: 1323083 ·

Actually, the server doesn't hold on to anything - it simply doesn't send a reply at all. The timeout is how long your client is prepared to wait - and (in recent versions), it's configurable. If you're running v6.12.27 or later, check out <http_transfer_timeout> in client configuration - options. Note that this will affect uploads/downloads as well, and that sometimes both scheduler contacts and data transfers do eventually work after a long pause. Use at your own discretion. Here is actually some room for new feature. I would like to have separate time out for the scheduler transaction and separate for the uploads/downloads. Let's say 300s for the scheduler and 120s for the download/upload transaction. ID: 1323091 ·

Everything works as it "should": - Uploads without timeouts - Downloads as requested 31.12.2012 10:32:19 \| SETI@home \| Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. 31.12.2012 10:32:19 \| SETI@home \| Requesting new tasks for ATI 31.12.2012 10:34:10 \| SETI@home \| Scheduler request completed: got 20 new tasks 31.12.2012 10:34:12 \| SETI@home \| Started download of 09oc12ad.8746.67.12.10.98 Great last day of this year. Let the next year start like this! Now I'm quite sure: I bewitched SETI. But I promise, I'll never do that again! Happy New Year to everybody! ID: 1323124 ·

An Omen? Notice how the Upload Server is still working fine. The Upload Server always worked fine during other SNAFUs which made last weeks Upload server problem unusual.

Here is hoping all have a Happy New Year. Hopefully the Kitties have all your machines running Einstein for their backup project to get that heat flowing. Maybe we can get Einstein to 1 Petaflop during the outages. ID: 1323254 ·
