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

[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. Donald Infernal Optimist / Submariner, retired |

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

Ready-to-send buffer is shrinking, no new MB work being split. 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. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

And I see that the last server status page update shows some MB splitters back at work. Meowsmile. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

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 |

Maybe this is some of that new splitter code that was talked about months ago going into place. At the moment all but 3 splitters are online and they are being generated at 36.9398/sec & 1.7282/sec.

The only "production" splitters running are on Lando and Vader, I guess one of those two is having a bit of a problem :-( Oh well, reserve projects here I come... Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

Been getting lots of "Project has no tasks" messages. Notice the splitters just aren't cranking up the output as the number that are ready-to-send drops. Also been getting a few downloads timing out, or taking a while to start downloading. Grant Darwin NT |

Been getting lots of "Project has no tasks" messages. Notice the splitters just aren't cranking up the output as the number that are ready-to-send drops. Yup... The MB splitters are not keeping up at all for some reason. Hit and miss here.. My top rig totally ran out of GPU work, which might have taken an hour or so, given the shorties goin' on. And then, it had the fortune of getting a 98 WU hit, which will shore it back up for a while. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

Currently, uploads and reporting failing. Downloads get "projects has no tasks available" |

we're dry ... ready to send was at 115 ... this is why we need to lift the limits so that we can continue to work through while they sort out issues that arise ... |

we're dry ... ready to send was at 115 ... Yeah, I know.... I'd truly love it if they could. Unless it would cause the DB to crash. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

The limits are there to prevent issues from arising in the first place. I fail to see how raising them would help the project at all. The project scope is clearly stated, to use spare cpu cycles that would otherwise be "wasted" running screensavers or other idle tasks. It was never intended to cope with dedicated computers or specially built crunching farms with multiple GPU's and demands for massive caches to sustain them running 24x7. By constantly demanding that the limits be raised you are making your need to execute as many SETI tasks as possible more important than the well-being of the project itself. The fix to this problem is larger workunits which will reduce the number of "in progress" entries in the database. |

Please don't try to remind some of us 'what the original scope of the project' was. We know that. And we all (some of us, anyway,) know that the capacity of the project has thankfully grown far beyond the original concept. No, in it's inception, it was never envisioned that vast numbers of like minded individuals would flock to the calling. But we have. And the project has tried to it's best ability to respond. They have done rather well, considering the meager funding...in most latter years, by it's own participants. Matt has indicated that since the move to the colocation facility, we may well be outstripping the capacity to gather data by our massive ability to process it. I see this as a great thing for the Seti project. And proof that the whole Boinc distributed computing concept has indeed come to fruition. We, as small users, have amassed such an enormous amount of computing power that the project might have some trouble supplying enough data for us to process......who would have dreamed? Not Eric or Matt, I assure you. As I have suggested, but am not in the direct loop right now, I suspect that since the relocation of the servers and the ability of the project to supply data to the crunching base, one of the upshots is that the GPUUG fundraisers upcoming might possibly be for a dedicated server to process the accumulated results. The kitties would still like to get and process as much work as possible to further the initial goal of this project. Which is, of course, to prove that we are not alone. I believe that every day we get closer to proving that reality. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

All task now reported and new downloaded! Now idea why, just lucky I guess |

I have my best cruncher sucking GPU fumes right now, but the kitties shall keep sniffing for more WUs. I got 9 rigs asking, so one or more of them is bound to hit Seti paydirt. LOL...

I am not trying to put you down. Just a little history from one who has been here a loooooong time. And I know you have been, as well. It's a success story, not a problem, as I see it. Or perhaps a little of both. Meow. Mark. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |
