1) Questions and Answers : Web site : Dead link. (Message 252283) Posted 23 Feb 2006 by mimi Post: "STATISTICS" link (http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/sah_stats.php) on user pages is dead, and i suppose it should be changed to the one that is on "HOME" page (http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/stats.php). Dead link can be found on following pages: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/sah_participate.php http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/sah_about.php http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/sah_community.php http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/home.php
2) Questions and Answers : Wish list : What does "No work from project" means? (Message 233576) Posted 19 Jan 2006 by mimi Post: From the Home Page: No Work Notice We are almost done with the science database merge. During this operation we are unable to create new work, so we ran eventually ran out of data to send to our participants. We hope finish up and start creating new work this afternoon. Thanx for the answers to everyone...I'm pretty sure this was not yet on the front page when i posted. mimi
3) Questions and Answers : Wish list : What does "No work from project" means? (Message 233481) Posted 19 Jan 2006 by mimi Post: Hi, I guess one can say "No work" means "No work, stupid" but I am still wondering about this messages that i tend to get often lately (here's the log, time stamp removed) "BOINC Manager" wrote: - request_reschedule_cpus: project op - Sending scheduler request to http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah_cgi/cgi - Reason: Requested by user - Requesting 25920 seconds of new work - Scheduler request to http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah_cgi/cgi succeeded - Sending scheduler request to http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah_cgi/cgi - Reason: To fetch work - Requesting 25920 seconds of new work - Scheduler request to http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah_cgi/cgi succeeded - No work from project Because there are other ERROR messages like "couldn't connect to hostmname", I am wondering what does quoted message means? Is it some sort of connection problem, or is it possible that there is simply no work available ATM (meaning we're crunching data faster than SETI is recording it :) ) In connection with that, i would like to see someting in one of the future versions of BOINC/SETI: -bigger queue for data I know i can increase the connection time in my profile but that will result in BOINC connecting less often. What i would like is to have 1 or 2 days of WU in queue and upon finishing 1 it reports and fetches another one. The reason is that after 2 days of crunching , if there are connection/server problems, my comp is just waiting idle. With this solution we would always have 1-2 days of "buffer time" for SETI team to correct any problem that occured and not losing computing time in between.
