still in panic mode.... 10k+ in the AP rts queue. I hope I can get one or two of those when seti decides to hand out WUs again. edit: results returned is down to 118k. it is 9am in CA. can someone send the bat signal?? |

Was out on two hosts and working on other projects. Now refilling again from Seti. They really need to get the file purging done tomorrow. Seti@Home classic workunits:20,676 CPU time:74,226 hours A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association) |

There is a very substantial proportion of folks who see that the servers are having an iffy fit and stop crunching until the iffy fit is over (or, more likely, a week after the iffy fit finished). Thus we end up with loads of returned tasks to validate. Well that's my theory, you are welcome to your own.

It's back; Mon Feb 11 14:31:03 2019 EST | SETI@home | Project has no tasks available... |

Yes, out of tasks again. Looks like the replica lag is growing again after being in an unnatural state of being 0 for almost 4 days. See that the WU/results purging has peaked and started trending downwards. Think they are alternating which processes get priority every hour or so.

No task available, all splitters seem to be idle and I'm out of work units. Sigh. |

As I write this 4,587,629 tasks are out in the field |

. . Well the splitters are marking time because the RTS is 850,000, yet the scheduler/downloaders are not sending them to the field. We have seen this before, very often lately, so it looks like it will be another outage where the rigs get the day off ... :( <edit> . . Nothing but "no tasks". Main rig OOW in 15 mins. Others will be within an hour or 2, so it seems I will have to sit out this outage too. Stephen :( |

I was able to pick up 9 for my GPU with a cache of 0.1 |

I might not be keeping full caches here, but they're not far off either. Cheers. |

Web site & forums slow, "Project has no tasks available" for random times & random lengths of time each day. The new normal. Grant Darwin NT |

I haven't received any work on any host for about 4 hours so far. Just no tasks are available messages. Seti@Home classic workunits:20,676 CPU time:74,226 hours A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association) |

I haven't received any work on any host for about 4 hours so far. Just no tasks are available messages. Pretty sure it was about 3-4 hours of that yesterday as well before I started getting work again. Grant Darwin NT |

You may be right. One host just got a dozen or so tasks and had troubles with stalled downloads. So maybe the servers are waking up again. Seti@Home classic workunits:20,676 CPU time:74,226 hours A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association) |

This last time the servers regained contact the RTS was up to 1+ million, shame it won't send them. This reminds me of the last major problems obtaining work, which was fixed by sending Arecibo VLARs to the GPUs. Things would go along just fine, then when the Arecibo tasks started to be split you had the same problem as now. Perhaps the solution is to just Stop splitting Arecibo tasks, who knows. I always said it would be best to have them separate, Arecibos using one App and 1 one cache, then BLCs using a different App with it's own cache. Something like the APs & MBs. Maybe the Arecibos will run out shortly and no more will be posted for a while... |

My caches have been full for near on the last hour now, but they were never more than 50 short at any time. Cheers. |

I see the problems are continuing. From the looks of the Ready-to-send buffer i'm thinking there's some process that's gotten away & hogging up CPU resources. The Splitters run on after their usual shut down point, then take ages to restart after going well below their usual start point. Scheduler allocation of work is sporadic, at best. At worst, it's hours between getting any work allocated (regardless of how much is there to be had). The Deleters have finally cleared their backlog, but now the Purgers are struggling to clear theirs. The amount of work returned per hour is quite low (compared to past times, with much larger volumes & when the system was able to keep up). A lot of the issues seemed to resurface when the Replica came back on line. Maybe see how the system goes with the Replica off line for 12-24 hours? See if it can recover, or is there something else at play? Edit- and even viewing my limited number of Tasks is becoming almost impossible (although due to the deleter then purger backlogs those numbers are way higher than usual). Grant Darwin NT |

. . I'm surprised I have work on my rigs. Since I got home every work request has been "no tasks" :( Stephen :( |
