Just sent Eric a message about the 18dc09aa stuck dataset. Maybe he'll be able to reboot it or just boot it. Meow. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

Just sent Eric a message about the 18dc09aa stuck dataset. Good to hear- with it sitting there tying up splitters, there are only 3 PFB splitters available to actually process any Arecibo work that does come along. Grant Darwin NT |

The BOINC server is down, and with that the whole website and forums. Jeff has been notified, no ETA on when it's back. I downloaded a full cache at 5 03 13 Great work to whoever brought us back online |

Looks like there are a few noisy WUs making their way through at the moment, although no where near the numbers of the previous BLC25 noise bomb storm. Grant Darwin NT |

We are definitely in a shorty storm. We are returning 145K results per hour right now, when we have been closer to 100k/hr for these data files. We need a shorty storm scale like we have for hurricanes. |

The recovery from the normal Tuesday outage is not going well. I'm sure it will sort itself out in a couple of hours, but WU creation is too slow to keep up with demand at the moment. We will hit empty in the ready to send queue soon, so hopefully everyone has a small cache of WUs to last until we dig ourselves out of this hole. They have 28 splitters vs our normal 14 going, which will cause splitting the last bit of some of the files (9) to hang, but the normal 14 will continue on to split, so it doesn't do any lasting harm, it just is ugly when looking at the status page. The shorty storm observed before shutdown could also be causing some problems. Really wish we had some Aricebo data to split as it helps to have more splitters working on filling the ready to send queue after an outage. Some Parkes data would be nice too if it has separate splitters :-P |

We need a shorty storm scale like we have for hurricanes. Around 187k for a while now (down from a peak of over 200k). Edit- Make that over 190k for a while now. Grant Darwin NT |

Edit- Just hit 197k. Can we make the 200k mark? (And when will the servers fall in a heap?) Edit- That didn't take long, over 200k and still climbing. Grant Darwin NT |

18dc09aa remains stuck ... I don't know why they haven't kicked that file to the curb long ago. Seti@Home classic workunits:20,676 CPU time:74,226 hours A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association) |

18dc09aa remains stuck ... Or at least used it for debugging just what it is that causes the splitters to jam up on it. Grant Darwin NT |

Edit- says 211k/ hr for returned results - bad shorty storm. I must say that I'm amazed how well the machine is handling the load. Hopefully it won't crash. The results out in the field is falling, so it can't split fast enough to keep up with demand. It's 11:30pm in California, so I doubt much will be done about the situation until morning. |

We are definitely in a shorty storm.Not getting any better, at least here ... |

Yes the servers are handling it quite well considering the load. Once the database lag and assimilation catch up (from maintenance), performance should improve with them having less load as well. I wouldn't expect it to get any better for overflows until the next tape series - there are a million slower CPUs out there with 24h plus cache, so they are still working on normal runtimes. As they get into these tasks ... more and more returns. |

We are definitely in a shorty storm. Not shortie, Noise bombs. Shorties are Arecibo WUs that take less than half the usual time to process, but at least do take time process. Noise bombs are what we've got at the moment- noisy data that that finishes almost as soon as it starts. And to add to the fun, the splitters are showing signs of problems. Pumping out the work at a good rate, then not producing any for several minutes. Then pumping it out again for a hour or two, then nothing for a while. Grant Darwin NT |

Hundreds of Noise Bombs have been through here (probably well over a thousand) and now I'm having trouble downloading enough work fast enough to cover the mongrels. Cheers. |
