Batten down the hatches, we're going down.

Oh, so you watched last Saturday's Doctor Who episode, then?

---

Oh no the martians are attacking us . Doctor where are you ?. Problems here to .Is today the regular down day . Wednesday here 9.41am ? . Seems to be having trouble with downloading and the web site pages (results pages, message boards) seem slow not to worried got plenty of units so figure you'll have it sorted buy time I run out.

---

It wasn't broken but something got fixed anyway.

---

Something is still broken but at least the messages are a consistent now;

Project communication failed: attempting access to reference site
Scheduler request failed: Couldn't connect to server
Internet access OK - project servers may be temporarily down

so no more HTTP errors or time outs.

But my backup projects are loving the moment.

Cheers.

And then the forums slowed down. Or someone is DDoS'ing something somewhere along the line. It's the latest craze, apparently.

---

I got the scheduler to respond, finally. Took 59 seconds to report two tasks. The uploads go through just fine, but reporting them seems to be luck-based at the moment.

edit: and since getting that request to go through, I have had six consecutive successful contacts, all 303-seconds apart.

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

Maybe the forums need the PC equivalent of the Heimlich maneuver?

It's more than just the forums that need that.

Cheers.

I doubt if it is related to the current problems, but there are large artifacts on the cricket graph for bits out that I have not seen before the relocation. Is this getting data from the 'tapes' to the splitters or something?

---

Someone load more AP tapes to be split.

That's the current guess, geting the data from the Lab to the colo site.

I'm starting to connect now and getting quicker scheduler responses. Back to limits on CPU, trying for some gpu work although I've got some from Beta and Einstein. Website seems okay now.

Everything seems better now but uploads are still failing occasionally,

The MB and AP splitters both work on the same "tapes" at the same time. The AP splitters go a lot faster and get done first, then have to sit there twiddling their electronic thumbs, waiting for the MBs to finish so more tapes can be loaded.

Right now, there is AP work available to split, but for some reason all the AP splitters are in disabled status.

As are the ap_assimilators. Only the ap-validator4 seems to be running. This has been the case since Tuesday afternoon. Maybe a problem with the AstroPulse science database. And since Matt did not post his usual post-outage update yesterday, they may still be working on solving that problem....

AP assimilators are still down- things are really building up there.
As it is, the MB assimilators are only slowly getting that backlog under control.

Looks like Astropulse is back in business.
[As of 18 Apr 2013, 3:00:05 UTC] all AP functions are running, 7 AP splitters splitting, and about 500 results ready to send.

Ready-to-send buffer is shrinking, no new MB work being split.
Server Status page shows all MB splitters offline.

I hope that doesn't mean all my GPUs will be sucking wind whilst I am gone to work today.....
Hopefully da boyz in da lab are just playing about with some thingys and nothing's broken.

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

And I see that the last server status page update shows some MB splitters back at work.

Meowsmile.

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

Since all MB splitters are disabled but the pfb splitter is running
and the stats show
Results ready to send 217,822 258 8m
Current result creation rate 2.2091/sec 1.6656/sec 5m

Are we currently processing the more sensitive MB's?

if not who is splitting MB's
