Once again the splitter output is falling away & ready-to-send buffer is slowly shrinking. Grant Darwin NT |

Now it's a case of splitter output is next to nothing, work to split is almost used up, and ready-to-send buffer is rapidly dimishing. Should be out of work in a few more hours. Grant Darwin NT |

Jord, What does the scheduler do if "Minimum work buffer" is set to 0 for BOINC v7.0.64? ![]() |

Setting a zero minimum work buffer is one of the few things in the buffer setting that says what it means - your minimum work level will be zero - don't ask how I know, its embarrassing... Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

Setting a zero minimum work buffer is one of the few things in the buffer setting that says what it means - your minimum work level will be zero - don't ask how I know, its embarrassing... Setting a Boinc 7 to a minimum work buffer of 0 translates into a target workbuffer of 180 - 3 minutes. Setting the 'additional' work buffer to 0 does indeed give 0 additional cache.

Don't know if i ran out or not, but those PFB splitters are really struggling. Just not producing much work at all, although i notice there's been a lot of databse activity over the last few hours as well. May be blocking the splitters efforts? Grant Darwin NT |

Server status page is covered in Red. Although 3 PFB splitters are supposedly running, and there are tonnes of tapes ready to be split, no work is being produced. Looking at a weekened without work? Hopefully not. Grant Darwin NT |

AP splitters are down. Still 5 pfb splitters running. I am getting work no problem Andy |

Still 5 pfb splitters running. Yet they aren't producing any work- current rate of production 0.6 WU/s. Needs to be around 20/s just to meet demand, let alone produce a ready-to-send buffer. I am getting work no problem Because there is a ready-to-send buffer (most of the time). Usually there are around 300,00 WUs in it, it's now down to 151,000 & falling steadily. At the present rate there will be no work available in about 6 hours. Grant Darwin NT |

Unless they fix whatever the problem is, we'll run dry of MB a bit after 0Z. AP an hour or so before then. "Life is just nature's way of keeping meat fresh." - The Doctor |

Almost out of MB & AP work. Even less splitters running now, and they're producing as much work as when the others were running- none. What is the problem with these splitters? Are they choking on certain tapes, or is it just some types of data that cause them to fail? Grant Darwin NT |

Almost out of MB & AP work. Both of my machines have a full cache of GPU work. ![]() |

So what's happening with the upload spikes then? I can't remember I ever saw the blue line any higher than 30Mbit on the old line. So spikes of 220Mbit are weird. :-) |

Both of my machines have a full cache of GPU work. So have mine, but it won't last when there is no more work available to download. EDIT- luckily it's come back to life. Data is being split again. Grant Darwin NT |

Both of my machines have a full cache of GPU work. Yep, and even the AP ready-to-send buffer is filling up. Grant Darwin NT |

Both of my machines have a full cache of GPU work. Yeah I might stop crunching on my Q6600 cores and see how my GTX 660's go doing a few AP's just so Sten can get a few of his AP's validated quicker. :-D Cheers. |

Grant. I think you're going to worry yourself into an early grave. |
