The RTS is increasing, so something is working at the moment. The out in the field never dropped, so no recovery needed. Whatever happened let's hope it is fixed now. |

Was running low, but caches are now full again. Seems to me that there are some tasks happening in background that now have priority over splitting, especially some that seem to happen around 0500z daily. ![]() ![]() |

Looks like the downloads are getting unstuck. Starting to refill caches. Seti@Home classic workunits:20,676 CPU time:74,226 hours ![]() ![]() A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association) |

My caches have refilled, but 3 splitters are offline [As of 12 Dec 2018, 3:50:04 UTC] ~Chris ![]() |

My caches have refilled, but 3 splitters are offline [As of 12 Dec 2018, 3:50:04 UTC] Maybe those were the ones that were causing the splitting errors earlier. Seti@Home classic workunits:20,676 CPU time:74,226 hours ![]() ![]() A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association) |

One possible explanation of that is the client request behaviour. But, alas, it gets even worse when one has two projects running on the same host. When, for example, the Seti cache runs empty then the "other" project is free to fill the cache to capacity and the host will not even ask for more Seti work because the cache is full. Today I forgot to set Einstein to NNT while the Seti maintenance took place; as a result I have 58 Einstein GPU tasks and 95 Einstein CPU tasks in the cache. The good news - Einstein GPU cache is (roughly) 58 hours of work with a 14-day deadline so Seti scheduler is picking up enough GPU work to keep busy; the bad news - Einstein CPU cache is (roughly) 760 cpu-hours with a 12-day deadline, i.e. heavily over-committed, and in this condition the host/client will not even ask for any CPU tasks. (Resource allocation Seti/Einstein 92%/8% and cache limits of 1.0+0.5) Of course this is NOT a SETI server problem. It is just the way Boinc Manager works. After the 12 days have passed, the cache will fall under the configuration limit and Seti CPU work fetch will resume - unless I forget again(!) to set Einstein NNT on Tuesdays to stop this cycle. My hunch - having not looked at the boinc-mgr code - is that the project work fetch considers only the cc_config count of cores/cpus and does not look at the resource allocation, with the result for me that Einstein fetches 12 times more tasks that it really should. (Long ago there was a thread elsewhere regarding exactly what "resource allocation" should do.) I have been admonished many times to "not try to micro manage Boinc Manager." But sometimes I just can't help myself.... :( |

When I end up with lots of Eienstein@home I simply go to NNT period. Not even letting it run during maintenance. It probably doesn't "help" but at least the tasks don't keep refiling. Tom A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association). |

The replica database lag is making a VERY slow crawl downwards after the outage. I think for it to reduce to zero is going to need one of the cron job glitches in the other server processes.
