It'll catch up soon enough.

Now, if he can just get the splitters shifted into a higher gear.....

Don't forget about hoping that they fix the two letter things, that isn't "M" and "B" :-)

Yeah, well....
That might come after we work down the MB queue again.
Which will prove to be more difficult at the moment, as RTS has just hit zero again.

Since the RTS = 0 it is time to bring out the big red PANIC

I don't think so. Splitters are feeding WU's all time, latest "Project has no tasks available" -message is over one hour old.

They just can't refill RTS to 300.000, but they are holding on.

That would probably explain why my main cruncher just downloaded 48 new Betas even though I lowered Beta's RS recently.

We-e-ll, I was just watching Great British Menu on iPlayer (my broadband is currently at 2268 kbps, just enough to watch 1280x720 HD) when it all stopped, even though gkrellm was showing the net flatlining at 248 kBps. Looked at BOINC and it was downloading shedloads of new jobs and a new executable. When the dust settled, there had been 91 new jobs and setiathome_7.08_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu__opencl_nvidia_sah -- so I guess that's out of beta. My RAC should go up, as I'd never got around to setting up the anonymous mechanism on this PC, so I've only had GPU work when there are AP jobs to be had. We shall see...
Can't check my full stats, though, with the replica being behind times.
Oh, and Matt beat Eve for the North-west crown once the judging was finished </spoiler>.

setiathome_7.08_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu__opencl_nvidia_sah --

Wonder if there is an equivalent Windows release as well?

I'd like to take a whack at it outside of Beta as well.

Hmm.. But you are right, anonymous platform will mean modification to try and get that app and executable...

Not according to http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/apps.php , though there are some new Mac CPU apps as well.

Might need some tuning -- the GPU jobs are hogging a CPU each!

If those are the Opencl_nvidia_sah, that is normal for them.

Here's a little info for you on that. If you run 2 at a time of those, the usage will actually go down to about 85% of a core for each work unit.

I would not recommend going over 2 OpenCl_nviidia_sah per card.

On the plus side, you will help to get rid of all those VLARS ;)

Guess we still got major drama with the servers hopefully it will get fixed almost outa units or at least I will by dinner time

I think the only machine I run >2 GPU jobs on is my work Linux machine, which is running anonymous. Not got the feedback yet (because the replica DB was still catching up last I looked) to see how this will affect my RAC -- I don't expect it to go down! What happens when the next batch of AP WUs are available is another matter.

Now, if he can just get the splitters shifted into a higher gear.....

Still no joy.
Server Status Page shows green, but splitter output is poor at best, often non-existent over the last few hours.


To add to that, if you do happen to score some work, downloads aren't happening. They try (download timer is running), but not a byte is being downloaded; project backoffs soon follow.



EDIT- after excessive use of the retry button I've managed to download a few WUs. Usually my download speed is around 155kB/s, the best at the moment is 40kB/s, most around 20-30. A couple only at 10.
Eventually they started (and finished) downloading by themselves.

Server Status Page shows green, but splitter output is poor at best, often non-existent over the last few hours.

The last time I checked, at 22:40 UTC there were over 25,000 MBs and 14 APs available for download. It had grown from 22:10 UTC's 700 MBs to that over 25,000 in just half an hour. Now (SSP shows 23:00 UTC) already all gone.

There's definitely some sort of server issues going on- just before 22:00hrs Berkeley time MB splitter output fell over, Awaiting Validation started climbing, and there was a drop in the received-in-the-last-hour numbers, then a sharp spike.
In Progress fell steadily, recovered a bit around 01:00hrs Berkeley time and then levelled off slightly (hard to see on the graph). Splitter output has picked up again over the last hour or so, but once again it s just in spurts- they just don't seem to be able to crank up, pump out the work, then shut down once the ready-to-send buffer is full.
Looking at the graphs for the last few hour the splitters were running, and the ready-to-send buffer was empty, there were occasional peaks to 35/s, lots of drops to 25/s, several to less than 20/s.
