I seem to be getting all the noisy GBT WUs that were mentioned earlier. Reporting 10+ results at a time at the moment. Grant Darwin NT |

Thanks for the explanation. Do you have to set NNT before hitting Update?It only takes 2 updates, but it must be 2 that are NOT returning tasks in a row. The third is if you need to report something. It can be a bit tricky at times with fast GPUs to find the right time to make the 'nudge'. When this type of issue develops on my machines, it is always dire. I rarely see them recover on their own without some intervention. I can go for several hours during the wee hours when I'm sleeping and no machine will be running tasks from looking at the Event Logs on the machines. The first task of the morning is to open up BoincTasks and see what state the machines are in. Then round robin to kick every one over to get tasks again. I had a long run of no issues up till the last server hiccup last week. Longest I can remember back to the 'ole days when the servers and machines just ran without intervention on my part. The Triple Update would never work on the Linux machine I guess since it is always reporting tasks every five minutes .... that is when it has work. The Windows machines have been making a slow recovery back to full. The Linux machine continues to fall.

The triple update is what gets it downloading work again. Grant Darwin NT |

OK, got it. Was confused as to timing. Just tried the technique. We'll see. Seti@Home classic workunits:20,676 CPU time:74,226 hours A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association) |

According to my logs there's been no problems getting work here. Cheers. |

I just tried through 3 cycles. I must have not done it right the first 2 times cause I still got the no tasks are available message. The third try was either correct or a consequence, but I got 79 tasks after the technique. I was about to do the ghost recovery protocol since I was done over 120 tasks. I'll see if the next request pulls me back flush. It did. Yay! Seti@Home classic workunits:20,676 CPU time:74,226 hours A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association) |

According to my logs there's been no problems getting work here. As I said, it's a particularly weird issue. Grant Darwin NT |

David - you are correct Beta data does not get into the main database. Runs on Beta can be for all sorts of reasons but are all to do with testing something in a near production environment. Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

According to my logs there's been no problems getting work here. . . Oh you always say that :) ... except for the big outage the other week. But I must admit, apart from a few "no tasks available" responses, this weekend I am getting work pretty consistently myself. Stephen <touching wood> |

For me the Results pages are Slow to respond, and I'm having trouble getting tasks for two machines. One of the machines has yet to respond and is getting very low on tasks. I may have to try the Bunker option for tonight's coldest night of the season. |

I am seeing that too because of the assimilators and purgers being offline for the past day. The Valid tasks are building rapidly and aren't being trimmed in the database. Things are getting slow. The Linux cruncher is continuing to have troubles getting work. For some reason the scheduler keeps throwing 10-20 minute GPU backoffs at it. [Edit] Just looked and the assimilators have made an appearance finally. That should improve things shortly. Someone must be in the lab this morning.

Many thanks to whoever took the time out of their Saturday. But I had a run of "no tasks available" overnight, gave it the double kick this am and now getting work again (though my cache is 80 - 90% GBT tasks). Still have about double the normal numbers of valid tasks, hope it clears soon. Stephen .. |
