I'm down to my last 2 gpu tasks on the Linux cruncher. Guess it's going to do Einstein for the rest of the evening.

Even my C2D is struggling to get work today.
Usually it doesn't have a problem, even when the i7 does.

This seems eerily like the "Database slowness" (as Eric called it) back on 10 Nov.

We're having some as yet unexplained slowness with the our BOINC database. There don't seem to be any hardware issues. Temperatures are running normal and all the drives seem good. Yet for some reason the query that fills the "ready to send" queue is running about 10 times slower than it normally does.

Until I get it fixed, it means that on average we're sending out 3 workunits a second rather than 30+.
That was a holiday weekend, too.

. . I guess the servers have a calender with the holidays marked on it ? A shame they are union servers :)

Can't connect to server for the last 10 minutes.

There are almost always issues with the web site & scheduler around this time of day for anything from just 10min to 45min.

Hi, everyone...wish you a Happy New S@H Year !

Just a small question : I have the usual 5 minutes back-off time after a manual update request. Is there supposed to be an automatic scheduler request when that time runs out ? I seem to remember that used to be the case, but now the time just runs out and nothing happens. It may take over 30 minutes before a new scheduler request is sent to the server.
This doesn't have any negative consequences, of course...just finding it weird. I haven't done any changes to Boinc or S@H settings for many months...the only thing out of the ordinary is that my system was down for a week before Christmas when my monitor died.

...Ghia...

It depends.
If your cache is full, then it won't make another request till the next WU has been completed and uploaded.
But if your cache isn't full, even if another WU hasn't been completed, then after the 5min 3 sec delay it will ask for work again (although that also depends on your Store up to an additional x days setttings). The larger that value, the longer it will wait (ie the more WUs that will have to be returned) before requesting more work.

My system is modest (CPU i7-4770K, GPU GeForce 780Ti), and my in progress is isusally 160-180.
Settings are not greedy :
Store at least 1.1 days of work
Store up to an additional 1 days of work

As you can see, the last two requests were more than 1 hour apart, with 20 WUs reported. Is that reasonable ?

Or 0.00 for 'whenever needed'. Subject to server backoffs, of course.

The definitions of 'Store at least' and 'up to an additional' were substantially revised with the launch of BOINC v7, around 2012. If you've been used to BOINC v6 and earlier - it's changed.

No...count me as a newbie :-) I crunched for a while back in the late nineties, but my current Boinc/Seti account is from February 2017.

If I had to lay odds, I would say the outage would be tomorrow as usual.
Most folks that have been on holiday are back to work tomorrow, including myself.

That would be my guess too. Just a normal holiday shortened 4-day work week.
