No panic. I wish they would allow partly started files to finish before starting a bunch of new work. E.g. allowing the 33, 34 and 35 files to finish before they started the bunch of 25 files. Does anyone else feel the same? On the plus side I guess it gives the server a bit of a rest because not it is many results are being returned per hour currently somewhere around 106,000.

I will be pleased when blc34_2bit_guppi_58389_22167_FRB121102_DIAG_0013 180.04 GB gets processed because I want to see how long it takes to process such a big file. I have absolutely no idea when that will be as it has been on the page for quite some time. Clearly other work gets put in front of it as we have seen with the tapes that were added just before the weekend

Groan. The great silent tinkerer has messed up the server status page, yet again. Sometime in the last three hours,

Warning: number_format() expects parameter 1 to be double, string given in /disks/carolyn/b/home/boincadm/projects/sah/html/seti_boinc_html/sah_status.php 

has appeared for lines 604, 606 and 608.

And the column widths have gone walkabout.

Well that's been fixed now so I guess that we'll just wait and see what pops out next.

Cheers.

So I see. You'd sort-of assume that these errors would appear as a (thankfully temporary) side-effect of some deliberate maintenance or upgrading, but I can't see any changes on the (fixed) page. So what was all the tinkering about?

Cool, thanks. I got it working, albeit a bit wonky at the moment. I went with SSE4.1 for MB and SSE3 for AP.

And did a manual install of 6.10.58, but Manager is angry about running. I don't need a GUI on the linux machine though.. i just use Manager from my daily driver to remote connect.

4770K is many orders of magnitude faster than the Sempron 3500+ was. :)

For a Gen4 CPU I think AVX would be the best.
I looked it Up and that 4770K stomps on your AMD 6100 :)
I think those CPUs were also Overclock monsters :D But not the RAM.
The LGA 1150 boards are pretty cheap if you need a better layout.

But first things first, finish setup and let it run untouched for a week to see if it reliable.
It would actually make a pretty nice Daily Driver.

No Panic. The system has running so well. Hopefully our outage today will be nice and short.

These blc25 WUs take a bit longer to run, so I think it will take us a while to process all the files they have put into the queue.

Yeah it's not bad for pulling it out of a trash pile.

The Sempron 3500 that it replaced was doing these MBs in about 5.5 hours and was single-core. 4770K is doing them in about 1 hour, and I've got it set for 4 at a time. So that's what.. 20-22x faster? If you go and look at the oldest tasks on that machine, you can see what the run times for the Sempron were.

Before those disappear, this is what they are:

19,350.31
20,327.48
18,999.27
18,965.42
20,198.80
20,674.27

Compared to:

4,032.10
3,932.09
3,925.96
3,830.79
3,861.32

...and 4 at a time.

Waiting for some APs to show up to see how those do. Sempron was doing those in about 45 hours. I have to imagine this will chew through it much faster.

As for daily driver, it's still a very capable CPU for today. I have a friend that has one in his gaming machine and it is still doing just fine.. it just uses more power and makes more heat than a newer gen, but performance-wise.. still very capable. Not as good as Ryzen though. :)

Linux laptop:
record uptime: 1511d 20h 19m (ended due to the power brick giving-up)

Has the maintenance come and gone? Local time 10:30 am CST is normally right in the middle of the outage. But I am still typing here....

Lucky me. Right after I posted that, the website went down :)
Its 3:07 local/CST so I would say its "up" for what it is worth.

. . Well according to my logs it lasted less than 2 hours (again).

. . I still cannot get used to these really short outages. I keep waiting for the "gotcha"!

i think they're great :)

. . Well now I think the 'gotcha' has arrived. Downloads hanging again and task cache getting low :(

. . Same on all rigs and the main unit is totally out of work. The problem must have started hours ago. Manually kicking the servers is getting some d/ls to complete but most are still hanging.

. . Finally cleared the d/l backlog on one machine but still unable to report completed work as 'cannot connect to server'.

. . Also the message base is slow, taking forever to send this message ...

Stephen

:(

. . It seems I am the only one getting this problem as there have been no other comments in 7 hours :(

. . Maybe it is time for reboots all round.

Stephen

? ?

Might be Stephen as no problems have been logged here.

Cheers.

Just had a look in my log & no signs of issues since before midnight last night CST, although someone has posted in another thread about not being able to contact the servers (although their issue is with just one machine of 3).

Maybe give your modem a reboot as well?

I get a few backed off downloads on a couple of machines usually in the first hour after the project returns. No problem getting them to download as soon as I notice them in the Transfers tab of BoincTasks.

. . Well I haven't gotten around to doing the reboots yet but the problem seems to have cleared by itself. I had tried changing the 'hosts' file but no combination made any difference, so maybe it was an ISP issue. The up/downloads seem to be fine now and the forum is responding AOK. I will monitor during the day and if there is any hint of further problems I will reboot everything ...

Just came home to some kind of network connectivity issue with Seti. I had a modest bunch of uploads with 5 hour back offs. Hit with a re-send and they all went through. Then I realized I was having some issues with WCG so I unplugged/plugged in my "dongle" and all is working again.

No Panic.

The results received in last hour has been climbing. It has been under 100K with this latest batch of blc25s , but has now climbed to 135k. I think the system can handle about 200K/hour , so no panic, just curiosity.
