I've managed 3 tasks in the last hour, 2 of those were AstroPulse. Meh. Out of topic? Caring about the human race is our purpose. That's why we are looking for ET. |

Only two splitters are splitting Arecibo files for S@H work and the regular 7 for AP work. This is way too little to fulfill the demand but I guess this is intentional to allow the insanely heavily bloated database to shrink. I actually wish they would turn the web site back to using the replica. The web site is almost unusable either way but removing that load from the primary database would certainly allow it to recover faster. |

The only way the Database is going to recover is if the staff goes back to the pre-December Server configuration, or they stop sending Work. Apparently they have decided to Stop sending Work. Since the current load on the Server is so small, there isn't any need to switch to the Replica. There isn't much going on right now. Results received in last hour = 90,067 |

It had been 27th day for 30 minutes (in UTC time that the manager graph uses) when you posted that so how many credits you had expected to gain in those 30 minutes? You are correct there; probably poor choice to have included the graph. Received maybe 500 credits in a period of four hours prior to posting, which seemed odd; figured that was related to server issues. Seems like it credited me with the appropriate amount now. |

My Windows host just got 31 new tasks, only 2 were _2 All Arecibo, all downloaded successfully. About 10 minutes ago. Most previous requests in the last 24 hours on this machine got 0. My 8 core Android tablet got about 5 overnight. |

The splitters have clicked into life - creation rate 38.4175/sec. No way (yet) of knowing how long this run will last. Just until the next SSP update! They've stopped again. |

Looks like they are slowing shutting down Seti? The 'server status' is not showing any Breakthrough Listen work units are being produced / splitting . |

So now we know the answer to life, the universe, and everything. It was 61 all along, never 42. Douglas Adams was wrong! |

One system is down to 1 AP WU on the CPU, the other has half the cores busy but will be out of CPU work in the next 40min. GPUs have enough to keep going for an hour or 2, then it's on to whatever it can pick up with the super extended extreme project backoffs limiting requests for work. It's a shame we couldn't make it to the March 31 finish line, now going out with a whimper instead of a bang. Grant Darwin NT |

I still have about 6500 units split over about 50 normal computers. I think the only people having trouble are the people with hosts that have a per host RAC of 100,000 or more. I'd say those people already had their bang. |

I'd say those people already had their bang. You need to look from another view. A normal host who receive 50 WU will crunch them in let's say in a day or maybe 2. So receive a package like that each 12 hrs keep it working without trouble. My host, not one of the fastest around BTW, crunches that 50 WU in about 5-10 minutes. So to keep it working it need to receive 300-600 WU per hour! Now imagine a host with 2080Ti`s or mining hosts who run 3X or more faster. That is why apparently the high RAC hosts has problem and the lower no.

How are things in Panama? I haven't been there since...1993ish. Went through the canal 4 times. Beautiful country.We are on a complete lockdown. Only supermarkets, groceries stores, pets food stores, banks and fuel stations are opened but with prohibition to sell anything with alcohol (liquors). Restaurants or Fast foods only to go. All the rest is totally closed. including airports and frontiers. The canal is still open to marine traffic but the people of the ships could not disembark. You could only go outside to buy food or medicine and even that is only allow 2 hr per day, and that time of the day is controlled by your ID number, actually 1 to do the shop itself and the rest for go/return from your home. At least we have very few deaths (9) and cases (674) but as you know we are a very small country with just 4 MM inhabitants. Ok it's out of topic. Moderator please forgive me. . . That is more or less where we are, here in OZ. Except for the time roster by ID number. All restaurants/cafes can only handle take away orders NO eat in allowed. Always maintain the 1.5 metre separation (or social isolation as they call it), stay home unless you absolutely have to go out and work places can functions as long as they have 4 square meters per staff member and customers. Most food stores have placed markers on their floors to remind people to maintain the 1.5 metres separation in queues. All clubs/pubs/bars are closed :( but so far we can still buy alcohol at bottle shops. Which only makes sense because alcohol is one thing that will kill this nasty little sucker so my nightly gargle with Dom Benedictine will keep me safe. And it's medicine I don't mind ... :) . . Oh, and wash hands (and face) like you are the biggest germophobe since MJ ... . . But life goes on. Stephen < sigh > |

I'd say those people already had their bang. Another thing worth pointing out is I believe you process work faster than the majority of us, purely because of your operating system choice nothing wrong with this I just thought it was worth noting. I have one AP task on my CPU which will be complete in approximately 2 hours

One system out of work, the other has picked up a couple of GPU AP WUs, so that'll add an extra 10min till it's out of work (if they aren't 100% blanked of course). Grant Darwin NT |

Another thing worth pointing out is I believe you process work faster than the majority of us, purely because of your operating system choice nothing wrong with this I just thought it was worth noting. A small correction, the Linux normal stock crunching program is not so fast than the windows version as some could think. What makes a huge difference is the Special Sauce coded by one volunteer for his own use and because he is a very good guy make it widely available to anyone to use. There are some additional enhances who help the host run a little more WU/day like the mutex, OC & priority control. But again all are widely available. BTW I'm not a Linux guy, all my others hosts runs windows, my dedicated crunching host is the only one i have who runs Linux and i install Linux on it just to run this Special Sauce.
