Tue 07 Jan 2020 07:26:17 PM CST | SETI@home | Project has no tasks available

I was able to get some reports in right when it came back online. But that stopped and haven’t been able to report much since.

Seti@Home classic workunits: 29,492 CPU time: 134,419 hours

My assumption is that the stock machines with just a hundred or so tasks to report all hog the connections right after return. And force out the hosts that need to report thousands and make dozens of connections to report the 256 max tasks allowed. I never can make a connection for several hours after the project has returned.

Don't know that it "helps" but when I limit my machines to 50 tasks reported it stops giving me "internal server errors" (I think).

So far the smoothest recovery I've seen in quite a while. Was able to report all work immediately, and got a small download. Guess we'll see how it goes; hope my optimism doesn't jinx anything :)

. . If it does we'll just blame you :)

Blame accepted:) Haven't gotten squat since ...

I wonder if the Moon is up?

If it is, maybe we can start howling?

Off to let Einstein torture me for a bit. Sure wish 7.16.3 hadn't fubared the scheduler ... used to be able to share work on my terms ...

I have opened up my World Community Grid load some. Maybe I will take it off the leash till tomorrow. Looks like I have E@H configured to behave more nicely. Guess I will let it munch.

Did someone forget to open the gates?

RTS is now over 900K.

Cheers.

You jinxed it.
I reported & picked up some work early on, but have since run out of GPU work on my Linux system as "Project has no tasks available" has been the response for around 40min now. My Windows system for some reason has been able to pick up work several times in that period, but not on every request. Probably every 3-4.

It looks as though we are finally getting some downloads, however, just as Always the Splitters have failed to ramp up. It would be nice if someone can persuade the Splitters to start working before the RTS reaches Zero, as it seems they Always do. Otherwise, we will be Out of Work in a few hours again,
Results ready to send = 336,224
Current result creation rate = 4.7576/sec

. . the same old SNAFU after an outage. I wonder what it will be like if they get the 'new' server working (Muarae2).

. . We can but daydream ... :)

And on those somewhat rare occasions I do pick up work, the elapsed time ticks away on the download, but no bits are moving.
And as I typed that, after over a minute of nothing happening, they managed to start (and finish) downloading.

out in the field is 6.7 million and it is usually around 7.3, so there is quite a hole to fill. I wish the server could have a better recovery algorithm, so it could give those who have none some before topping off the caches of those who have plenty.


I'm going to hang out in the wilds for a bit, so I've emptied my machine, so I'm not competing for WUs with you right now. I'll do some howling at the moon and dancing around the fire in hopes that these silly rituals help keep the seti machines working well :-).

My caches are finally full again. :-)

Cheers.

My caches are finally full again. :-)

One cache full, the other still filling. Most responses are still "Project has no tasks available", but when it does get work, it's getting a lot. So it's cache is slowly managing to refill. 5 steps forward, 4 steps back.

. . I would describe it more as 4 steps back and a big leap forward to catch up.

Greetings,

If there was no such thing as artificial "spoofing" perhaps those users that can only get a few WUs and can't, after a maintenance cycle, could. Just sayin'... :)

Yeah I know, I'm kinda spoofing too, but I have no control over it. BOINC sees 2 GPUs and gets WUs accordingly, even though only one GPU is running tasks. The other drives my monitor.

Have a great day! :)

What about "friendly" stray Coyotes?

Got up this morning. Turned E@H off and as soon as I cleared out some of my cache of E@H started getting downloads on both my "normal" projects.
