SETI Thread

[The Postman]

The project is up and running. Let's see for how long this time.

[Byzantine]

Postman,
Are you able to upload any of your completed workunits?  That I can't download anything right now is not a surprise.  That I can't upload is worrying.

[The Postman]

As of right now, I have been able to upload 4 WU's out of 30+. I would bet there is a massive influx of transfers since they have been down almost a week. I still have about 3.5 days of work before I will begin to panic. If I run out I will just fire up seti driver again.

[Byzantine]

TX.  Ive been idle for 4 days now.   Not that I contribute that much, its the principle.

While the project is up and functioning normally, the database and web servers are overloaded. Because of this you may have noticed difficulty in transferring work and loading certain web pages. We're tuning these servers and trying to find the bottlenecks now.

SETI needs way more fiber in their diet (or I do).  In the last 3 days I have successfully downloaded 0 WU and uploaded 1 completed WU.  Talk about backed up!

[The Postman]

Can anyone say FUBAR?

In other news I did get 1 PC 100% uploaded but have seen no updated results. It is going to run out of work in 64 hours.

[Byzantine]

August 4, 2004
We discoverd that the sheer number of files in the upload directory was killing NFS performance for the file_upload_handler. We started with a new empty upload directory and the file_upload_handler performed much better. The rate of connection drops on the upload server dropped to zero (most of the time). Of course we need to get all those older results back into play somehow. We are preparing our new SnapAppliance 18000 to host the database. We need to fit it into the power load in our already fairly full data closet, configure the DB volume, run some tests, and then copy over the DB files. We will post the progress as we go.

Woohoo!  All WUs are go.  Houston, we have traction!

[The Postman]

Woohoo!  All WUs are go.  Houston, we have traction!

But can you DL WU's? I can't. Thanks to some 4 minute WU's, i am going to run out of work tonight.

[Byzantine]

Yes.  It gave me 2 WUs last night and 2 more this morning.  I only have a 2 day cache set.  Not good for recent events

PS. TX for info on threads - I had not made the BOINC/notBOINC connection.

Maybe a helpful admin can be persuaded to rename this the BOINC SETI Thread.

big old HINT!

This one gets a big old BUMP

[Death_Merchant]

I'm giving up on BOINC until it does something that is as good as or better than "classic"

.... like actually work

2004-08-18 11:13:17 [SETI@home] No schedulers responded

[Byzantine]

By the time the hardware behind SETIBOINC is updated to match the load - the load is going to be gone back to SETClassic.

[F9thDigi]

Could anyone post a guide to using Boinc, what we need to download, if there's any useful addons (like setidrive, etc)like we used to have with Seti classic?

Thanks
Digi

[The Postman]

Right now Boinc is too messed up to even consider moving to. I would wait and continue processing with "classic" until they get the bugs worked out some more.

When they do get their stuff together look here

Well the last set of hardware issues have been resolved. Due to the time of day and other factors the upgrade will be delayed until at least tomorrow morning. We'll post the revised schedule as soon as plans have been firmed up.

August 27, 2004
We are currently experiencing a hardware issue with our scheduling server, we expect this issues resolved within the hour. The upgrade to 4.x will start around 11am PDT and will take roughly an hour. Anybody who has any remaining results to report should get them in before the upgrade, after the upgrade you'll need the 4.x clients to report new results, and upgrading to the 4.x client will reset the project on your machine. Roughly 100,000 results are queued up and ready to be sent out after the upgrade, plus the three splitters will be up and running producing work as quickly as possible.

The migration plan has been reschedule for tomorrow the 29th at 10am PDT. We have brought down the scheduler and file upload handler until the migration happens to give the splitters and transitioners time to produce enough workunits and results to send out after the migration when the clients reset themselves.

Bump

[The Postman]

As of this morning, Taldren has done more work than 92.47% of all the BOINC Seti Teams. We are ranked 612 out of 8126 teams. We have done this with only 9 active members!

[Age]

   I would sticky both of these SETI threads

[Gambler]

BOINC or standard Seti?  Cause I'm still crunching along WU's the old fashioned way.

[Sirgod]

Where's the second Seti Thread and I'll give It a sticky also.

edit nevermind I found It on Page two.
