These BLC 35s are bad news, most of them are Instant Overflows. The Results received in last hour is already up to 205,271 and I only have One machine running them so far. Once other machines start running them I believe we will be constantly Out of Work, https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/results.php?hostid=6796479&offset=1120
I seem to be getting a large number of stuck Uploads as well...

. . Yep. 90% or more of the Blc35 tasks are noise bombs. This is gonna add to the havoc ...

:(

I see they added some old Arecibo files to the splitters in an attempt to slow down the return rate from all the noise bombs.

Now the Server isn't responding. One machine's cache is down 50% and can't contact the Server. Naturally the Results Received and RTS is showing the change, it appears no one can contact the Server....

Website is very unresponsive as of this moment.

Yep, every host in scheduler backoff due to "internal server error". Can't report work and caches falling.

Ditto for me. Almost a full moon to howl at...

Nothing here too. Caches holding. Ready to do my part.

Able to report now, at least. Not giving out work yet, though.

Hey, with 36 tasks left, I started getting new work. Now to see if it lasts...

Got home to find Linux system out of GPU work due to extreme backoffs on downloads.

I see they added some ... {rest lost due to some error?}

. . Yep. I noticed that, most of my workload is now old arecibo work ...

And a lot of them here ATM have been the same. :-(

Cheers.

Well here is a few numbers to keep in mind

Results out in the field - 7,536,318

Results returned and awaiting validation - 7,240,993

First time this year I have seen the returns past 7 million.

Results received in last hour - 195,093

Cheers

Interesting numbers:

Lots of short tasks....

Yes, I'm seeing shorties (VHAR) now from 27au10ad. I also saw the noise bombs (overflows) earlier from BLC35.

Neither of those are going to help our bad drivers and bad cards. Eric put in a draconian attempt to try and weed those out yesterday:

Hopefully final validation mod to reduce bad results from failing GPUs
If 1 of 2 is overflow, quorum is increased to 3
If 1 of 3 is overflow, results are validated.
If 2 of 2 are overflow, quorum is increased to 3.
If 2 of 3 are overflow, quorum is increased to 4
If 3 of 3 are overflow, results are validated.
4 results are always validated.

so expect lots of resends, too.

If 3 of 3 are overflow, results are validated.

That is a bug.
If first two are ATI graphics cards, which will produce similar bad results, it doesn't matter what the third result is processed on, if it also -9's then the two ATI cards will agree and the correct third result will receive an "invalid".

See https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=84508&postid=2026843#2026843

I expect there to be many of them in this batch of blc35.... tasks

I think we should monitor for a while. If anyone notices this case in the future, please post a link and we can examine. I think the three would still have to be 'weakly similar', so if the early overflow signals were of a completely different type, that could (should?) be flagged as 'invalid'.

IIRC in the case quoted the results were, 7 pulses & 23 triplets Vs 30 triplets
