Even though I was in the process of bottling beer this morning I did notice that my 1060's just scraped through the outage (having AP's onboard likely helped there) and caches were quickly recovered. :-) Cheers. |

. . Alf they're at it again! . . Since I woke up nothing but "project has no tasks". Kicked the servers heaps but no reaction, cannot even get a "request too soon" message, just no tasks. 600K tasks in the hopper but nothing is firing ... Stephen :( |

Is it the problem of nobody getting work when requested or is it nothing but Arecibo tasks in the RTS buffer. I haven't seen hide nor hair of any BLC tasks today. What I have been getting is small dribs and drabs of Arecibo shorties. I wonder if everyone is fighting over them for our Nvidia cards?

On another machine, I requested CPU tasks and got (all except one) guppies. I suspect somebidy is fiddling with something, but will have it sorted out by the time I get up in the morning. G'night all. |

. . Infamy! Infamy! The servers have got it in for me! . . I have changed venue to open up CPU downloads and still I keep getting "project has no tasks". Them there servers don't like this rig very much ... Stephen :( |

Something's borked. Even Tbar's triple update doesn't help. And the Work-in-progress has been falling for almost 6 hours now. EDIT- I only barely ran out of work during the usual weekly outage. Looks like it's decided to make up for that. A few more hours & i'll be out of GPU work. 1.5hrs down and not a skerrick. Grant Darwin NT |

If the queues are such that Guppis can sit unsent because there are Aricebos ahead of them in the queue that cannot be sent to GPU, seems to me there's a real problem with how work queueing is being handled. Goes back to the same old question. Now that SoG is the preferred app for MB, is there any reason to inhibit VLARs from being run on GPUs? The Guppi VLARS seem to do just fine on GPU now. Sure seems like this should be looked at. |

I don't like the looks of WU 2739307008. One host successfully downloaded and ran it. Everybody else is getting D/L errors on it, 5 hosts so far.

The file doesn't appear to be truncated, either, ending with "</workunit>" as the last line. Anybody else run into one (or more) of these today? |

Anybody else run into one (or more) of these today? At the moment I can't get any work. Been getting "Project has no tasks available" for hours now. And the Graphs show it's not just me, Work-in-progress just keeps on falling. Grant Darwin NT |

Just managed to pick up some work, then back to nothing. Should get another 40min now before the GPU work runs out. Grant Darwin NT |

Current result creation rate ** 0/sec 0.9798/sec 1.2241/sec 5m Something is wrong. |

Actually having more than 650 unsent Astropulse tasks in the RTS buffer is, I believe, one of the signs of the Apocalypse. |

Its up to 920 now. So something has definitely gummed up the works. Normally, the AP tasks are gobbled up as fast as they are created. Seti@Home classic workunits:20,676 CPU time:74,226 hours A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association) |

Seems like a couple of years, at least, since I've seen more than 2 APs in the RTS, what with the very limited supply and high demand. |

There's plenty of work there, and there's plenty of people asking for it that aren't anywhere near their cache or the server side limits, but work just isn't being allocated. Grant Darwin NT |

Now is the time a good sysadmin would be handy to look at the server logs and figure out why no work is being sent when there is plenty available. Seti@Home classic workunits:20,676 CPU time:74,226 hours A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association) |

As i type I would guess that the staff are tucked up in their respective beds catching some shut-eye. But this sort of problem has been rumbling on for a few days, so I think its a bit more than the usual hiatus with the scheduler not playing ball :-( Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |
