I still have full caches here and I get 1 for 1 at every request so far today. . . Glad to know it is still working for you but I should point out that it was Keith who noticed your Boinc version, credit where it is due :) [edit] . . As of about 1 hour ago I have been intermittently getting "unable to contact server" "project might be down" messages. And problems/slow accessing message forums. Stephen :( |

Having a real hard time getting work for the Linux cruncher. Down almost 100 tasks. No work is available messages. Triple Update isn't working. Might have to resort to the server kick. Seti@Home classic workunits:20,676 CPU time:74,226 hours A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association) |

Let's hope that the servers behave themselves over the festive season and the team in the SETI@home labs can have a well-earned and peaceful break over Christmas. |

Back to being Starved, even on Christmas day. Earlier two of the Linux machines were being Starved, they recovered after going almost 100 tasks down. Now the Server has decided to starve All the machines, even the Mac. The Mac is set for SETI@home v8 only, so, No reason is being offered, the others are set for Both and are getting No Tasks are available for AstroPulse v7. They are being tossed a bone ever so often, which doesn't even begin to make up for the tasks that aren't sent. The Current result creation rate is down to 0.7559/sec, so, my guess is No one is being sent much work. Mon Dec 25 15:14:20 2017 | SETI@home | Sending scheduler request: To report completed tasks.

No problems here getting work and that creation rate should pick up again when the ready to send number drops to around 580K. ;-) Cheers. |

Only the Linux machine has been struggling to get work all morning. I think it is because we are having a VLAR storm and no or little BLC work. Noticed every machine is getting a majority of Arecibo shorties when requesting work. Since the linux machine asks for more work at each request than the others, it is getting shortchanged and constantly falling in its cache.

You see the Log. It's about the same on 3 different machines. The fourth machine is still down about 50 tasks. |

It's just another system weirdness. After the outages, the majority of the work is GBT. By the time the next outage comes around, the majority of the work is Arecibo. And since it appears to be all VLARs coming out of the splitters at the moment (with no GBT worth mentioning), Nvidia GPUs are going without. Current hardware & SoG can handle Arecibo VLARs, but the older hardware and applications would still just about bring a system to it's knees. EDIT- the triple update managed to shake free some GBT work for both systems. Grant Darwin NT |

It's just another system weirdness. . . After kicking the server the Linux machine filled up, 100% GBT work. . . Tried on the Windows machine but getting nothing, nada, zip :( Stephen :( |

I've tried the Triple Update all morning. Finally I just tried the server kick with the ghost recovery protocol. Reported 34 tasks ...... got 4. Down about Seti@Home classic workunits:20,676 CPU time:74,226 hours A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association) |

I've tried the Triple Update all morning. Finally I just tried the server kick with the ghost recovery protocol. Reported 34 tasks ...... got 4. Down about 135 tasks now on the Linux machine. The other machines can drop 10-20 below full but after a couple of requests, bounce back to full. The linux machine is not seen the same by the servers apparently. . . After the success getting loads of GBT work earlier all 3 machines are now getting "this machine has reached it's limit" and no new work on any of them :( Stephen :( |

Yes, looks like the project is observing the holiday. The Haveland graphs show a steady decline in the number of tasks in progress. Nothing is going out to replace those coming in. Seti@Home classic workunits:20,676 CPU time:74,226 hours A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association) |

Well, there's actually plenty of work available, IF you don't mind running Arecibo VLARs on your GPUs. I normally stockpile for the outage by rescheduling tasks from the GPU queue to the CPU, then letting the GPU queue refill. It usually only takes a couple rescheduling runs to stockpile what I need, then once the outage is underway, I move the excess tasks back to the GPU queue. Right now, though, tasks other than Arecibo VLARs seem to be extremely scarce, so I just tried an experiment on one of my machines to stockpile in the other direction, moving tasks from the CPU queue to the GPU, then letting the CPU refill. It's more tedious that way, but the CPU queue refilled every time. Seven rescheduling runs snagged 600 consecutive Arecibo VLARs. For now, I've moved those all back to the CPU queue in the hopes that the run will come to an end and the GPU queue can maintain a normal level until the outage. If not, though, I'll have to try snagging some more Arecibo VLARs, and do the same on my other two Linux boxes. Of course, one of the potential drawbacks to downloading Arecibo VLARs, or any other type of task to the CPU queue and then running them on the GPUs, is that the APR for those tasks will eventually climb to the point that the "Elapsed time exceeded" error starts to show up, so that has to be monitored. A real PITA but, if the choice is either to run Arecibo VLARs on my GPUs, or run out of work on the GPUs altogether, I'll take the first option. :^) |

Maybe it's not the end of the world, if your RAC drops a bit eh? Blasphemy! Grant Darwin NT |
