OK, so what happened to the observation data from the 0x to the 24th observation run.

Well, as far as I know, he never actually explained what the number in the first node meant, which is what the current question is.

It would seem logical that it represents a specific receiver or beam. However, I just took a quick look inside both a blc04 and a blc25 WU and I didn't spot anything that clears the air.

BLC04
<beam>23</beam>
<name>Green Bank Telescope, Rcvr4_6, Pol 1</name>

BLC25
<beam>0</beam>
<name>Green Bank Telescope, Rcvr2_3, Pol 0</name>

Maybe with a larger sample of WUs, someone could suss out a pattern. Then again, Eric could simply tell us what it means.

. . I think you misread his info. The observation sequence is the last part of the very long filenames. That reference isn't explaining the difference between blc02 or blc03 and the other variations. I wish I knew where that link was. The discussion might have been in the rescheduling thread but I think that thread may be dead and locked now :(

Actually he did explain it but not on Seti@home bulletin board. Sorry, I was only half paying attention to this thread. Long day.

I asked them that question and they did answer it and I posted somewhere a LONG time ago. I have nearly 4k post, so I have no way of finding that post. I believe I asked him during a live chat they were having at Berkeley and he explained it. I guess it's time to head over the the Seti@Home Berkeley Youtube page and see if I can find it again.

I think Stephen is right, this sounds familiar to me. I'll keep looking, that video isn't posted to their YT page, if I remember correctly, it was a celebration they were having at the site and they had a question and answer session after the main presentation.

. . Yes, it was a long, long time ago. I wouldn't stress over finding it though, but it is nice to know the background.

hehehe..... found it.. took me a bit

Here is the link

https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=80380&postid=1823582

But the question was what does the 3 in BLC3 stand for? We finally got an answer

There are 8 (soon to be 16) compute nodes (fast servers) at Green Bank, numbered blc0 to blc7. Each sucks in 187.5 MHz of the total observing band. There's a bit more detail on file formats at
https://github.com/UCBerkeleySETI/breakthrough/blob/master/GBT/waterfall.md

The current system at GBT is a high speed data recorder, recording voltages as a function of time - the lowest level product you can get from a radio telescope. We also build higher level products, in particular, spectral (detected) data, also known as filterbank format. The link between them is a fast Fourier transform, and then a power computation.

The bandwith (frequency range) we can sample depends on how fast we can sample the voltages. For example, 100 million samples per second implies 50 MHz bandwidth (via the Nyquist criterion). The analog signal from the telescope goes into a digitizer (iADC / iBOB), and then into the SETI processor, which divides the signal up into individual frequency channels, computes the power, and performs a thresholding operation.

The VEGAS instrument at GBT is a big digitizer. It samples at 20 gigasamples / s which gives 10 GHz usable bandwidth. Right now we only run one of VEGAS’s eight ROACH boards, so we get 1/8 of the total bandwidth (about 1.25 GHz). These data come over 10 gigabit ethernet through a network switch to the BL compute infrastructure. Breakthrough Listen will eventually duplicate the existing compute infrastructure by a factor 8, allowing the whole 10 GHz bandwidth to be recorded.

Coarse channelization (using a polyphase filter bank, essentially a big bank of bandpass filters) breaks the incoming band into 256 or 512 pieces.

The Breakthrough machines consist of the head node, storage notes, and compute nodes:

Head node: Contains boot images for the other systems in the cluster. Storage node (currently 1, will be 8): Long term archival storage with RAID6. Compute / high speed storage mode (currently 8, will be 64): Where the action happens when we are doing observations. They record raw data to disk. All of the analysis will happen here, in place.

GUPPI (Green bank Ultimate Pulsar Machine) is the old pulsar machine at GBT, that was used for the first SETI observations there. It’s only 800 MHz bandwidth, but it’s the only instrument there currently that can do pulsar timing and has a well-tested baseband capability (i.e. the ability to write raw voltages). The GUPPI software (somewhat modified by Breakthrough engineer Dave MacMahon) is what’s used to record BL data on our new machines.

To generate the high level data products, we take as input a coarsely channelized voltage as a function of time. Output is power as a function of time and frequency, aslo referred to as a waterfall plot. For now let's just look at total intensity (Stokes I), rather than considering the polarization data.

The raw voltages are stored in GUPPI-raw format (also called PSRFITS-raw or “baseband data”).

Information about the file format is at the SETI Brainstorm page at https://seti.berkeley.edu/var/www/html/GBT_SETI_Data_Description . For BL data, the channel ordering is flipped in frequency, and the files are written natively as 8 bit rather than 2 bit (although we're requantizing much of the data to 2 bit after it's taken).

The output from the BL switch is 8 chunks of 64 channels of ~3 MHz width (â…› of the Nyquist band). Each compute node gets a consecutive chunk in frequency.

Files are stored as one sequence of files per observation per node. There are 64 voltage streams per file. Each file in a sequence is about 18 GB, corresponding to about 20 seconds in time.

Casey Law and collaborators are developing tools to generate waterfall plots from the raw voltage files, which are available in Docker. The output format is “filterbank” (filenames ending in .fil). These have a header that is about 250 bytes, and then a bunch of spectral data, in a sequence of total power spectra from zero up to N.

There are currently four principal code bases. Two pulsar code bases, the GBT spectral line and continuum data reduction code (mostly in IDL), and GBT SETI (there's a github repository for this), which contains the rudiments of the pipeline that we run at GBT.

You can plot the .fil file using your favorite plotting program (e.g. chop off the header and read the rest in as a binary blob), or you can use some of the sigproc tools to interact with it. For example, if you want to see power as a function of frequency, you can do bandpass test.fil

. . Well done, and quite quickly I thought. But that is the one. Maybe we are now looking at data from extra banks not mentioned in that article. That was a while ago.

. . I still wonder what was different about the blc04 tasks we have been crunching of late, they were so easy to work with.

Thanks for the detective work, Z-man. I like the technical explanation on how the data is gathered and reduced. I think the key is this
Breakthrough Listen will eventually duplicate the existing compute infrastructure by a factor 8
So take the original 8 nodes and multiply by 8. We should be seeing data labelled up to BLC63 eventually.

I hope you got them while you could. I did get a couple 24s and even a 25, I'll see how they run.

Well, the 24s & 25s appear to be about the same as the old blc3s...so, not that bad.
Of course it depends on your machine, note the above difference between a GTX 1060 & 1050Ti.

. . Again, variations between boxes. I have run a couple of dozen through Bertie with 2 x 970s and 1 x 1050. Run times are just over 5 mins on the 970s and 8 mins on the 1050 which puts them right in the middle of Blc05 territory on that machine (running 3v).
Stephen


. . Another D'oh! moment ...

. . My apologies, I have made an error. I was comparing flat run times but forgot for that moment that the run times when I was processing the last run of blc05 tasks were achieved with -nobs and using performance mode P0. Because of rising temps here (welcome spring/summer) I have restored bs and dropped the cards back to P2 to keep their temps acceptable. This adds some 30 to 60 secs to run times and I forgot to allow for that. I have now had many run through the other 2 boxes here and they are consistent. TBar was pretty much on the money that blc24s are close to blc03, and the blc25s are close to the old blc04 tasks in run times. But no other GBT tasks run as quickly as the "new" blc04 tasks that have now stopped flowing :( ... So it is business as usual ...

We're back to the HTTP:Internal server error message again and no machine is getting work reliably. I'm about to run out of gpu work on the Linux cruncher. Kicking the servers had no effect other than the error message. Can't even report tasks with that message coming from the servers.

What on earth are you sending in your sched_request file that causes the server to fall over? I haven't seen an internal server error at SETI for literally years - even when, as now, I'm getting zero tasks sent and no work available (which seems normal for a shortie storm, when the rate of work requests seems to exceed to amount of work that can be despatched).

Message 1898747 - Posted: 2 Nov 2017, 20:31:51 UTC - in response to Message 1898743.  

We're back to the HTTP:Internal server error message again and no machine is getting work reliably. I'm about to run out of gpu work on the Linux cruncher. Kicking the servers had no effect other than the error message. Can't even report tasks with that message coming from the servers.


. . I am not getting that message, just "project has no tasks available". And it is a problem because "kicking" the servers just gets the same message instead of the "request too soon xxx seconds" message it should get.

What on earth are you sending in your sched_request file that causes the server to fall over? I haven't seen an internal server error at SETI for literally years - even when, as now, I'm getting zero tasks sent and no work available (which seems normal for a shortie storm, when the rate of work requests seems to exceed to amount of work that can be despatched).


. . But we do seem to get an awful lot of such storms lately Richard, call me sceptical but I suspect there is more to the story than that.

Your requests seem to be taking about 42 seconds to fail. Mine are usually over in 3 seconds:

02/11/2017 20:30:07 | SETI@home | Sending scheduler request: To fetch work.
02/11/2017 20:30:07 | SETI@home | Reporting 1 completed tasks
02/11/2017 20:30:07 | SETI@home | Requesting new tasks for NVIDIA GPU
02/11/2017 20:30:07 | SETI@home | [sched_op] CPU work request: 0.00 seconds; 0.00 devices
02/11/2017 20:30:07 | SETI@home | [sched_op] NVIDIA GPU work request: 129079.70 seconds; 0.00 devices
02/11/2017 20:30:07 | SETI@home | [sched_op] Intel GPU work request: 0.00 seconds; 0.00 devices
02/11/2017 20:30:10 | SETI@home | Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks
Would you mind activating your sched_op_debug event log flag, so we can see what you're asking for? It doesn't bloat the log too much, as you can see.

I'll be going out soon, but I'll take a look when I get back in an hour or two.
