Last modified: 20 Dec 2019, 5:47:49 UTC All better, for now. Sending and receiving as of about 03:00Z Maybe for you. Got home to no GPU work on my Linux system, looks like the Scheduler fell over again and the system went in to extreme backoff mode. At least now it's possible to report work, but with the splitter output well below the huge demand level, getting any work is a matter of luck. Since Synergy runs the Scheduler process, and the Feeder, and it does the Validation work it might help things if they sorted out the issue with the Validation/Assimilation/Deletion & purging. Results-returned-and-awaiting-validation is usually around 4-6 million. It's now at 9.6 million & heading for 10. If that causes Synergy to choke, then that impacts the Scheduler, which is what has occurred for 2 days running now. Edit- and they need to sort out the download issues as well. Getting more & more downloads sticking. Along with the very occasional uploads that take a second attempt to get through. What did happen to that new download server? Grant Darwin NT ID: 2023831 ·

No errors or anything but just getting one or two tasks each time instead of dozens. Caches dwindling.

The file system containing the beta project uploads directory is having problems, so beta is down until further notice. This problem may be affecting the rate at which the main project can handle results, so the validation and assimilation queues are getting large, which may affect the rate of work generation.

Don't see any improvement on validation tasks outstanding. They really need to whittle that down to something manageable. I haven't been able to pull up any task web page on any of my hosts since the outage. Don't know if the hosts are doing OK or not.
