Is the reason for no work been split or very low amounts sub 10 per second to do with the rollout of the new application (version 7) or is there something more server related going on?

I suspect something's borked.

Or the server status page is not showing the activity of v7.......

Yes, exactly right, Mark. Same as when Astropulse V6 rolled out. The SSP continued to show only AP v505 until almost all of them were done ans validated, THEM they changed the scripts to track AP v6 generation and validation.

So for the next two-three months, the Sati@Home "Results Ready to Send" and "Creation Rate" numbers will be close to zero and not valid indicators of splitter performance.

I rather thought so this morning after looking at my 2 rigs which have successfully started running v7. No problems maintaining cache. Which did not fit with the figures that server status was showing.

Looks like they went ahead and updated the Server Status Page so the Splitter Status Table reflects V7 production.

After finally getting all of the v7 code downloaded, the scheduler shot off a big request for 99 new tasks "for CPU and NVIDIA". Unfortunately, the scheduler only loaded one CUDA task (SETI@home v7 v7.00 (cuda42)) and 98 SETI@Home v7 7.00) tasks.

I have three NVIDIA GPUs, yet only one GPU gets a single task (which it crunched in very short order) and the other two are totally latent. After the single CUDA task completed, all three GPUs are now dead in the water-- while the CPUs slowly grind away on 98 tasks.

Doesn't the scheduler appear to be a bit "unbalanced", or is something mis-configured?

Through some reading I've done in the past 24 hours..

There are several builds/types of GPU applications available. The server is going to be very cautious about sending you lots of GPU tasks and will try all the different builds/types on your GPUs until it decides which one is the best, and then you'll start getting loaded up with that one just fine.

You can probably help speed this process along by going into your preferences (links are in posts above/below..depending on your sort order..they were recent) and de-select "Use CPU" for the venue for that host. This will keep it from getting new CPU work and will kind of force you to be GPU-only until it stabilizes. Then you can go back to allowing CPU again and it will all balance itself out.

and you fell into your own trap ...

neither of these will solve the issue of AP on one box only (CPU only) and not on the other two boxes at all. the resolution has to be at per box level which neither of these do.

And now to something completely different, but rather expected:

Where's my APs? :-)

I do not plan to go to MB v7 in the near future, unless AP dries out completely.

Sten, are your APs flowing through yet ??

Do v7 GPU work units take longer to process than those that we processed before v7 ??

Yes, they do.

Yes it will. You have four complete sets of preferences available - default, home, work, school. Use two of them.

Yes, they do.
More processing.

As I thought. The question is how much more...

and you beat me to where I was going by the way.

If we are now doing double the processing, then in theory we should be getting double the credit compared to before. This would bring us out at even. What I have noticed is that credit is a lot less per v7 GPU WU...so expect to see RAC plummet.

and if you have 4 or more computers ??????

ps. I do, just one of them is not doing any DC at the moment...but can guess where I'm going can't you ...

Keep hammering retry.
It relates to the cache they're using to help reduce the load on the server while the new applications are being downloaded.
Apparently Eric disabled the cache on one of the servers, so if you keep hitting Retry eventually it should change to the uncached server & you'll be able to download the files.
It will be diabled completely in a few days once most people have managed to get the files.

Download the x41zc packs from Jason's site, and just drop the Cuda dll's in your project directory, then click retry.

Maine Coons like doing that......
And many other thingys as well.
Very loving cats. Very intelligent cats.

They often find themselves trying to overcome our human idiocies all by themselves. I have one mixed breed almost 18yo, Lori has two that are purebreads, and they are both now over 2yo and over 20 pounds each. Both will look at you with such big eyes and such understanding that you cannot help but wonder what is in their loving looks.

Oh yeah, I'm getting all I wan't, that is up to the 100 limit. I have nothing to complain about, other than that many of them are high blanked.

So you ARE somehow complaining, eh?

Not been able to download any work units, ran out first thing this morning, project looks to have units available, nothing changed at my end, anyone any ideas?

---

Okay this is strange, the Boinc manager says no units are available , but the server status pages shows units are available, getting confused here.
