Just a quick note of what the problem is like---(sorry folks having problems with the database again were working on it)--- or just something easy and simple like that would do it and would let us know that there are aware of a problem and are working on it. That would be all it would take to satisfy me. I do sincerely appreciate all the work they do, and time that they voluntarily put into this hopefully they'll let us know something soon before I run out of work that way I will know whether I should start crunching backup on one of my other secondary projects that will keep my computer busy and my volunteer work for humanity going.

Looks like there are many problems lately and communication seems to be a bit low. But ok, its 2 in the morning there, lets see how things develop when they start to work in a few hours.

It's always a good thing just to have a back up project with resources set to 0 so what if you run out of work, it will pick up automatically and crunch that project. When Seti comes back up, that back up will go to standby and seti will resume. Also, remember it's 2 am in California right now. This thing started to go down somewhere around 9-10 pm last night? They had already spent the day working on it when it decided to take a nap on us. I'm sure they will attend to it when they get to work today. Probably 8-9 am Pacific time. While an inconvenience, it is certainly not an emergency. My back ups have been happily crunching away for several hours. I for one, would prefer to allow them to get some rest and approach this with well rested eyes in the morning. Unlike me, who finds myself on the night shift, lol Zalster ID: 1692565 ·

Last modified: 17 Jun 2015, 10:56:20 UTC Many replies came to mind.. No full time staff... Part time project... Communication takes away from repair... Lack of $$ for intern... Finally decided on If it's a major FUBAR they will tell us, if it's a hiccup then they won't. (Side note) I wonder if the VLAR storm that started just before it went down has anything to do with the failure? I've noticed the last work units I was getting were all VLARs and Beta is nothing but VLARs at the moment. Could just be a coincidence. But it does make me wonder.. Zalster ID: 1692584 ·

Having VLAR on both is a coincidence (or Murphy) Beta are testing a bunch of new OpenCL apps, not specifically VLAR. There probably needs to be a more sophisticated approach than the blanket 'no VLAR for NV unless CC 3+' so as to allow the OpenCL NV app to have a try, but that's rather delicate code.

Still only one splitter showing green, and it's not doing much (if anything). Both systems out of GPU work, and what's left for CPU work about half of them are all shorties...
