Debugging the server is virtually impossible. If anyone wants to help.... The setiathome_server branch is at

https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/tree/setiathome_server/sched

Something goes wrong in the function SCHED_SHMEM::no_work.

bool SCHED_SHMEM::no_work(int pid) {
    if (!ready) return true;
    for (int i=0; i<max_wu_results; i++) {
        if (wu_results[i].state == WR_STATE_PRESENT) {
            wu_results[i].state = pid;
            return false;
        }
    }
    return true;
}

This function works properly unless the requesting computer has anonymous platform apps, for which it always returns true. How could that be? I don't know despite additional 500 lines of debugging code. It's almost as if something else is pausing anonymous platform requests until the queue is empty. Well it's bed time now. :(

I searched my system for an *.ETL file and found nothing that has changed recently. I hope there isn't anything wrong with your system that is making the trace log grow like crazy.

Hi IG,

This is the location where all the ETL files build up: C:\ProgramData\USOShared\Logs, I delete all but the current days files about every 3 days or so.

Here's a location for 2 other ETL files: C:\Windows\System32\WDI\LogFiles but their sizes remain fairly relative. I don't do anything with them.

I only noticed this after updating to v1903. So It's like Micro$oft has changed something and whatever it is it doesn't clean up after itself.

Have a great day! :)

i do not understand these build numbers as I have two computers on Insiders and both have build 18963 installed this past weekend.

I wonder too. I got the feeling that it was imminent. Especially after seeing the pics on Richard's phone. It looked all put together and ready to go. I thought it would have made an appearance by now.

. . Me too, but sometimes I am an optimist, then I get sensible again ... :(

. . I've been waiting to crunch Parkes data for 3 1/2 years now ...

:)

Now for the fun part, getting more work after the outage.

. . Hi Arkayn
. . At least it was only 4 hours, only ran out a little over an hour ago.

Impossible to view the tasks of any of my hosts due the database sluggishess. Pages time out when tried.

Starting to see a lot of stuck downloads ...

I woke up to a heap of them. :-(

[edit] And they're still being annoying. :-(

Cheers.

The In progress numbers have bumped up further, and the Deleters and splitters are having their usual issues as the number returned each hour has also increased slightly from the current WUs with their slightly shorter run times.

Thanks... at least I know it isn't just me. :^) I notified Dr. K. so let's hope "the Doctor is In."

Uli, Bernie, Chris S, anyone in the know, I reiterate my (yet) unanswered questions (to give credit where credit is due) :

who is the generous sponsor who makes it possible to get these tees at cost ? (maybe they wish to remain anonymous, I'd respect their decision if this is the case)

I would be surprised if it isn't the same sponsors as was for the 15th Anni. But I will respect their privacy.

I'm trying to download the latest anonymous GPU app. I tried crunchers anonymous website but I can't sign up this site to download the files. I don't know the hostname and the nickname of this project. Can anyone please help? Thanks.

P.S. I'm still using cuda 9.0, so I'm wondering if the upgrade will help for Pascal cards.

Eric does know to look for the most recent Panic Mode thread, he is just a very infrequent poster.

The Panic Mode threads started in a light-hearted way, and it's good to keep them that way. But they do serve a valuable purpose, which is one reason why I try to pounce on demonstrably false 'information' posted in them.
