BOINC seems to be very allowing when you want to do your own thing. I mean someone had the foresight to create the <dont_check_file_sizes> flag seemingly just to allow people to do what they want. And I'm glad they did for instances like this. It basically lets you run anonymous platform when not under anonymous platform lol.

. . On the one machine I changed to stock (renamed app_info.xml) I received a good number of tasks over several hours, but since implementing the AnonPlat workaround, while crunching is AOK, I have not received a single new task. . . I think that roll back is essential ........ Stephen :( |

There have been so many posts on this SETI problem that I may have missed an answer to the following question. Does the staff at Berkeley think a resolution might come soon, or might it take more than a week? From reading the posts, I believe that is the question for which everyone really needs an answer. |

Muchas gracias Juan. That is exactly what I was looking for. To save time for everyone who hasn't seen it, I will reprint Richard Hasselgrove's earlier post: ____________________________________________________________________________________ Posted: 23 Dec 2019, 16:55:49 UTC For general information I've had a provisional whisper back from the project. As of about an hour ago, the provisional plan is to go through normal maintenance and backup tomorrow (Tuesday), and then revert the database changes so we can go back to running the old server code. My gloss on that is that it probably means a longer outage, and an even worse than usual recovery, but everyone should be able to enjoy the rest of the holiday in peace. Most especially, the staff can relax. Sounds like a good idea to me.

For general information This sounds great. I wish them all the best with reverting to an earlier version of the server code. ![]() |

Another problem shared from BETA, some of these Host detail numbers have been frozen all day. Namely the APR numbers. SETI@home v8 8.11 x86_64-apple-darwin (cuda42_mac) Number of tasks completed 135 Max tasks per day 156 Number of tasks today 2873 Consecutive valid tasks 54 Average processing rate 1,740.18 GFLOPS SETI@home v8 8.19 x86_64-apple-darwin (opencl_nvidia_mac_old) Number of tasks completed 139 Max tasks per day 52 Number of tasks today 2000 Consecutive valid tasks 2 Average processing rate 1,768.32 GFLOPS By this time, the cuda42 numbers should be quite a bit higher, but, they haven't changed. https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/host_app_versions.php?hostid=6796479 |

Muchas gracias Juan. My wishes with you! p.s. After another call to Santa I can verify with the the following: I'm going to replace some GPUs and it seems so I can have time to tune them up too.

Hi All I haven't been very active the last couple of years or so, I thought I might fire up a box or two now that SAH has had the time to fix the software/server/WU availability issues that had been plaguing them... Member of the 20 Year Club ![]() ![]() |

After some interruptions and getting a couple of jobs done outside before that so called rain gets here (if it even bothers to turn up at all) I've just finished cleaning out all the dust, ash and soot from the last 3 months out of my 2500K rig as well as updating it so it's ready for when things come back up properly. I'll do the other in the morning as it's getting far too warm here now and my back needs a rest while I need to enjoy a few beers. ;-) Cheers. |

Uhh, don't know where you read that the project was back to normal. It is not. Won't be until after tomorrow's outage/backup/recovery. (Fingers crossed.) Seti@Home classic workunits:20,676 CPU time:74,226 hours ![]() ![]() A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association) |

Uhh, don't know where you read that the project was back to normal. It is not. Won't be until after tomorrow's outage/backup/recovery. (Fingers crossed.)Maybe, hopefully, if we're very, very lucky. It would still be nice if they sorted out what caused everything to slow down in the first place, was it the re-enabling of Resend lost tasks, or something else? Because while Anonymous Platform systems can't get work, systems running stock were still getting the odd Scheduler error or "Project has no tasks available", even with the extremely reduced server load, which was why I decided to just go back to Anonymous Platform and wait for a fix (along with the BOINC Manager deciding CUDA42 was best- 30min+ for something SoG was doing in 6min 30s or 9min depending on the hardware).

Only a waste of time for the whole thing here, Grant, because the SoG CUDA tasks might report a bit more on the server, than the corresponding CUDA50 tasks here. |

I don't know where you're getting the idea that returning to stock was a waste of time. I did it reasonably soon after the problem was identified and after a few attempts to get tasks and get back to crunching, all has gone as one would expect. There was a drop off in performance as the system had to go through the questionable decision which are the best apps. Once that was decided as being the "SETI@home v8 8.22 windows_intelx86 (opencl_nvidia_SoG)" for my GPU, I admit I aborted the remaining CUDA tasks and it has run the SoG app without breaks ever since. My cache is full and performance only down by ~15% as judged by RAC. And some of that might be because the computer has only grabbed one AP task in this period. This for Windows, obviously special sauce Linux performance is a different matter. |
