From the looks of SSP, the AP database is belly up again

The AP science database is disabled, and the AP assimilators are no longer running either. The backlog that was being cleaned up is re-growing.
Hopefully it's not due to further database issues.

And there's a spate of error channels from the splitters, too. Uh oh..

Perhaps splitter error started & they shut everything down to look at it later?

Not good.....
Or at least more bad than good...

It looks like the same error channels as before, but Marvin & the gang are back online now.

Mot all the AP assimilators are back on line, so the backlog continues to grow.

There should be great panic. No AP's available despite the fact that it ought to be gazillions of AP's in storage ready to feed the splitters, since AP crunching started much much later than MB crunching.

Oiiiiiiiiii !!!

At this point the question is are the AP splitters down because there is nothing to split, OR is there nothing to split because the AP splitters are down?

Chicken or Egg??

With all tapes showing "done" for APs then there is nothing for the splitters to work on, so they are down.
It would appear that the staff are trying to keep the number of tapes loaded fairly small, so we may get a few new tapes once a few of those mounted have been munched (or is it "Splatted" as Julie once suggested?) by the MB splitters.

Have a question. On vlar wu. I have seen the usual 0 and 1. Now I have seen a 2. Any difference between the three vlar types?

2 indicate that the first two WU results didn't match close enough so a third was issued. It's the same for any WU that can't be validated with the first two sent out.

Julie has great insight and a wonderful way with words.

It's just the task number for that one particular WU.

Every WU needs to be done by two people. Typically _0 and _1. If one of those have an error, miss the deadline, or the results from _0 and _1 don't exactly match, then a third opinion is needed, hence _2. They can go all the way up to _9.

I assume this is the WU you are referring to. In that case, _0 had an error, so you got assigned to be _2, so that _1 and _2 could compare with each other and agree on the findings.

Splitting always grinds to a halt when MB gets to 3.5M in the field and 300K ready to send. The MB splitters slow right down because the server cue is full (I'm assuming) then AP has nothing to split until the MB crunchers get busy and clean up some of the backlog.

I believe it was Sten-Arne that first started calling them splatters.

The talents mentioned are indeed shared by both, Kudos to Sten-Arne for the accurate description.

Looks like it was the eggs, however file 01oc11ac is a real pile of steaming warm doggie doo-doo. Multiple splitters working on 10 channels of errors (????).

I thought the correct term was splut.

Whatever those error indications are, the B3_P1 channel produced the usual 400 AP WUs,
ap_01oc11ac_B3_P1_00000_20150128_22779.wu to
ap_01oc11ac_B3_P1_00399_20150128_22779.wu.

Of course, 400 WUs which exit immediately because of 100% blanking aren't very helpful...

                                                                   Joe

Isn't that the past tense of "to splat" ? ;-)

Board is a Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD7 Rev 3.0

http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4658#ov

It's one of the very few AM3+ board that can handle 4 video cards. I like it alot, it's proven to be a good overclocker and crazy stable. My only complaint is a long posting process which seems to affect some of Gigabytes boards, but I rarely shutdown so it's only a minor annoyance.

Rearranging Rob's post:)
