What are we up to now, 10 days and still no fix ... just who is responsible for maintaining the machine and ensuring its operational integrity?

just who is responsible for maintaining the machine and ensuring its operational integrity?

A couple of part time members of the team, if you want to get more work out of them it would take money, since this project is self funded think donations

If no more V6 APs come forth I will have to resort to MBs tomorrow. IMO that is not bad but APs are tastier to crunch.

---

OK, based on my observations of my machines.

I have a machine set to download v6 AP and v7 AP WUs (no to v7 MB WUs).
I have another machine set to download v6 AP WUs and v7 MB Wus (no to v7 AP WUs).

AP is up and being split, and has been for a while now.

Neither of these machine are receiving v6 AP WUs.

The only machine receiving AP WUs is the one requesting v7 AP WUs. The WUs are v7.05 as I am running Nvidia cards.

This has been the case for a few hours now.

Based on this I suspect that AP v6 is NO longer being distributed (apart from any clean up action that may arise). On a personal level, I don't think this bodes well for the circa 1 million credits I have locked up in v6 AP WUs being credited in the near future, but only time will tell.

If you want AP WUs, I would suggest that you migrate (slowly) to v7.

I have migrated 1 of my 4 boxes (GPU only at this stage) and am just waiting to see how it pans out with v7 before I progress any further.

cheers


Edit to post: Having said that above, I just received a v6 AP WU (6.01) for CPU.

I don't think any NEW v6 will be split but there are plenty of old v6 out in the field. I've been getting a couple every day when the deadlines to report expire. So there will be stragglers for sometime until they are all done. I've been slowly getting some v7 also but I have to get threw these MBs first.

That is my plan but I intend to let V7 be out for a few days before I delete Lunatics and move over, I learned a long time ago about being first.

They will be out there for months.

I've setup my machines for both AP v6 & v7. Just as when MB v7 came out. Until all of the old work is gone I'm willing to run it thought the mill.

I know everyone's all excited about AstroPulse V7 and everything, but I'm wondering if I missed something.

Not in News, or Technical News, or Staff Blog or anywhere can I find-out much of anything about AstroPulse v7, but I am still wondering if anyone's found the trouble with the v6 AstroPulse validator?

I don't CARE if it takes a month to validate and "grant credit."

I'm just *interested* in what's going-on with a project I've participated in pretty steadily for 15 years and that I support with $$$, electricity, hardware, time, and energy.

Does anybody know anything interesting about the servers? This is a server-thread, right?

tbret, up until a moment ago, the v6 AP validator was MIA with no formal announcement as to an estimated time for resurrection. The validator is listed as being UP at the moment but I have seen this before...up for a very short time and then down again for a very long time .... (lets hope we are through it).

As to v7, no formal announcement but would suggest you check out the v7 AP thread. I have installed the GPU ap on 3 boxes so far and all appears to run smoothly. Only 1 more box to go and then I'll let it sit for a day before I start installing AP v7 for CPU.

cheers

I'm sure they'll get around to fixing it eventually, and since I have participated for so long I know the saying, "patience is not only a virtue, it is a requirement."

I just wondered if anyone's heard what broke?

The V6 validator might be marked as being up, but I can report it is down. Since V7 was introduced I have been sent and completed two V6 tasks, both created before the 26th, a _3 and a _4, neither has been validated.

nothing at this end ...

have all 4 boxes doing AP v7 on GPU now

Ive got just a tad over 500 AP v6 that need to be validated. I will hold off on checking that V7 AP box for a bit. Something dosent feel right in the force.

As I recall, when we made the change-over from MB Enhanced/v6 to v7 and AP v5 to v6, it took about 6 months to get most of the stragglers cleaned up - but there are STILL some MB Enhanced/v6 Work Units in validation limbo. One of these days, Eric & Co will get around to clearing them out.....

But as always around here, patience is not just a virtue, it is a requirement.....

Most of the v7 GPU WUs that have validated for me have been paired with a ati_mac GPU and the guts has been cut out of credits. Not sure if it is v7 or the ati_mac effect ... time will tell.

Im guessing that Ap on v7 will pay like MB on v7. The same.
It wont pay anymore to run AP work only. Thats just my guess though.
