Sunday, and the replica if falling behind again.
As of now, 3,176 seconds (53 minutes) behind, and that number is getting bigger fast.
(no wonder it looks as if I had not returned anything for a while, when looking at my task list)

This has happened on many weekends. At approximately the same time the total outages we experienced on many consecutive Sundays in last September and October. I wonder if the causes are related.

The Replica has had it's break & is now catching up again.

A few noisy WUs in the current Arecibo group, and more than the usual number of uploads timing out instantly.

Assimilation queue is still going down at a steady rate. If the same rate continues, the backlog is gone in about 8 days.

Did anyone get anything other than noise bombs for ap_29ja16ad? Must have been something going on that day.

Edit: only thing I see on any cosmic calendars is the moon being at its apogee.

Haven't done any of them yet. Still in progress.

It could be caused by any number of things. The radar could have been on. Terrestrial interference. Any number of transmitting satellites could have passed by in the aperture capture window. etc. etc.

Thanks, just unusual to get an sse, sse2, and 4 OpenCL_ati_mac WUs, just to have them all bomb out.

It's nothing uncommon when the tasks are 100% blanked.

Cheers.

This will become more and more common over time as Elon Musk and his competitors are spamming the low Earth orbit with thousands of internet satellites.

Only another 5.2 million to go (and another 2.41 million to go to clear the Assimilation backlog).

Those are essentially the same thing. Each workunit in assimilation queue is preventing on average about 2.2 results from transitioning to 'waiting for db purging' state. 5.2/2.41=2.16

and we are back....

That didn't take too long today.

About double what it should be from what it was in the past.

But still way better than it has been recently.
Got home to find one system with a full cache, and the other system with a bunch of downloads in extended backoff mode, but one Retry & everything came down OK And since then the Scheduler has been dishing out work and it hasn't taken any effort on my part to download it. First time for several weeks.


Edit- although it looks like we are about to run out of work; the splitters are still having issues getting going again after an outage.
And one of my systems has a tonne of Shorties in it's cache- that's not going to help the Validation & Assimilation backlogs clear.

True, better than the past couple of weeks, but nowhere near the Tuesday outage boilerplate of a 4-5 hour outage for database backup.

I still have one system that stubbornly refuses to get any cpu work even though it requests it and only finally will get cpu tasks once the gpu cache is filled. Infuriating when the cpus provide a good portion of the house heating during Winter.

Best recovery I've seen in quite a while.
Hopefully this means they've gotten a handle on the issues.
Perfect? No, but I can live with this ...

I'ts just a case of finally no more BLC35 files being split & putting out pretty much nothing but noise bombs. The fact is the backlogs from that (and the added replication for the RX5000 series issues) is still to be cleared, luckily they're presently low enough not to cause everything to fall over or come to a grinding halt.

. . Hi Jimbo,

. . Less than 9 hours is a pleasant change from recent outages.

. . But the recovery has been very smooth with only a few niggling 'http internal error' messages.
