The RTS remains to be alarmingly low.

The RTS remains to be alarmingly low.

It is currently 144,188 I would call that low it is lower than normal granted but there is enough work for about an hour with no output at the current return rate

It is currently 144,188

Now 477k, so it is recovering, albeit slowly.

Have we just crashed?
Just had a bunch of stalled downloads on one system (cleared after 3-4min), and now both systems are getting "Project has no tasks available" Scheduler responses, and not a WU in sight.


Edit- eventually got some work, on both systems. And neither can download it; one system's been going for 4min & counting with not a bit transferred (and it's just gone in to timeout). The other keeps timing out on the retries.

Definitely strangeness going on. What I've never seen before is that on my Win box the stalled downloads are in excess to my full cache. e.g. with 2 GPUs I'm limited to 200 GPU tasks, I have 200 tasks in process and it's stalled downloading another 51.

Yeah, that happened on my Windows system that started off with the stalled downloads.
In progress is 346 (but there's only 1 CPU & 2*GPUs).

Everything is now in extended backoff mode, and the website & forums have shifted in to super go slow mode as well.

. . I have masses of WUs trying to download but it has gone into 'project backoff'.

[edit]
. . I seem to have poked the bear and I am now getting some, very slow, action on the downloads ...

:(

Just cleared, whatever it was ... (somewhat)

. . I have masses of WUs trying to upload but it has gone into 'projec t backoff'.

Only been getting the odd one or 2 uploads that take a second attempt to go through, been that way for over a month.


My Windows system has managed to get all the downloads to clear (after a lot of retries)- it's set to use George M.
The Linux system is free to choose it's download server, and I've only been able to get a few of it's downloads to clear, till now. The last of the them finally went through.


Scheduler requests either result in "Project has no tasks available" or "Scheduler request failed: Couldn't connect to server" messages. It was "no tasks..." but now it's all "request failed.." responses now.

What about Scheduler requests?

. . Not quite. The servers are clearly distressed, the downloads finally cleared but I have about 50 WUs waiting to report on just one machine but when I eventually get a response it is 'internal HTTP error'.

. . Not looking pretty ...

I just started up my Weekend Warrior machine and it just came back with something like "scheduler request failed, server(s) down"?

Oh, well....
-edit---
Now its reporting no tasks available

… and now we're back to "Project has no tasks available" Scheduler responses. At least the Scheduler is back.

. . I am now working on another machine, no CPU crunching, 1 x GPU and running an old stock client but it has 153 WUs cached. Like Jimbocus I am being allocated more WUs than I should be ..............

Stephen

? ?

What a mess. Everything was fine this morning.
The results out in the field 5,362,638 is high usually we run under 5 million.
I too have been allocated more than my limit.
At least we have WUs to crunch but wow... Tuesdays maintenance is going to have to do extra clean up for this.

At least we have WUs to crunch

Actually, we don't.
My Linux system is out of GPU work, Windows system not too far behind.

Not only is the Scheduler not sending out any work (scratch that- the odd WU here & there on every 4-12 requests), but the Splitters aren't even splitting any new work. Ready-to-send is less than 65k- correction 18.5k. Splitter output, zero.
It's borked.

Yeah, things are rather confused right now.

Looks like the splitters have started producing some work, now hopefully the Scheduler will start allocating them.

I've set myself to no new task for a while, until the situation gets better. I hope everyone who needs WUs can get them.

I've set myself to no new task for a while, until the situation gets better.

Just done that for my Windows system, it's got more than usual to chew on.
Just hoping the Linux system can start picking up some work more frequently before it runs out of work again.

Edit- too late, it's out of GPU work again.
It's odd how one system gets work almost every time, the other almost never.

At what point does the results out in the field begin to be an issue??I'm assuming the db will get too large and the system will crash or slow to a crawl. It is late in California (Friday 10pm ish), so hopefully tomorrow someone can look at the issue.

I'll just add the disclaimer that while no one guarantees us WUs, and I'm certainly not demanding they come in on the weekend and fix things, I'm sure they want to keep the project up.
