Posted 26 days ago by Grant (SSSF) Post: Well, i don't know where it went, but at least Universe is back again. From around 22:07 to 01:16 UTC everything was MIA. Taking quite a few re-tries, but uploads & downloads are eventually going through. And Scheduler responses are very hit and miss at present. |

9 hours run time?
(Message 6250)
Posted 22 Jul 2023 by Grant (SSSF) Post: With your computer hidden it makes it hard to guess. I've yet to have a Task at Universe hang, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Under WIndows, the Task runtimes on my i7 8700k's vary from under 2 hours to over 6. Generaly they're between 2-5 hours. I'd suggest exiting BOINC, give it 10-20 seconds & then restart. See if the Task continues to process, and the Estimated completion time starts to decrease. If so, leave it for a while & see it if ends up completing, if not then i'd abort it. |

Posted 22 Jul 2023 by Grant (SSSF) Post: About an hour and a half ago i started getting work again, but then 5 minutes ago i got a "Scheduler request failed: Couldn't resolve host name" error on a request for work. Next attempt was OK, but the response was back to "Project has no Tasks available". |

Posted 21 Jul 2023 by Grant (SSSF) Post: We seem to be having issues- it just took a couple of tries for the Web site to come up. And for about the last 3 hours any request for work results in a "Project has no Tasks available" response, even though there's over 4 million meant to be ready to go. |

Credits for day show 0
(Message 6237)
Posted 10 Jul 2023 by Grant (SSSF) Post: Your account shows 3 devices. 666538 Has processed & completed Tasks & has got Credit for that work. 666659 Downloaded work, but then all that was aborted by you, and it has since downloaded another 8 Tasks, but is yet to return any completed work. 666569 Presently has 11 Tasks, but is yet to return any completed work. Given it takes a day and a half for it to process a Task that an x86 system with Windows can do in a couple of hours (and there are Tasks that will take a Windows system as long as 6 hours), it's going to take a while for them to process any work & return it (from a day and a half- at best, to around 5 days, just for a single Task). |

Gpu App?
(Message 6219)
Posted 23 Jun 2023 by Grant (SSSF) Post: Most Threadrippers have a significantly lower base, and somewhat lower boost, clock speeds. eg- Threadripper 3990X vs AMD Ryzen 9 3900X Base Clock 2.9 GHz 3.8 GHz Boost Clock 4.3 GHz 4.6 GHz Higher clock speed, shorter processing time. But if you have enough slower threads, then you still get more work done per hour than a higher clocked system with less cores/threads. |

Posted 18 Jun 2023 by Grant (SSSF) Post: And it's alive again, although it's taking a lot of Retries to return completed work & to get any new work. 2-4 minutes of transfer time (as much as 7min for some transfers), and probably 4-7 Scheduler requests to get a response that's not an error or a timeout. |

Keep getting "No Work"
(Message 6183)
Posted 27 May 2023 by Grant (SSSF) Post: Seem to be able to get work as required again. I put 1 day and 1.1 day of work in reserve in the boinc manager with no other tasks running.You'd be better off with 2 Days and 0.01 Additional days. The larger the Additional days value, the more the cache runs down before it gets topped up. |

Posted 26 May 2023 by Grant (SSSF) Post: Web site still taking a while to respond, but at least things are working again. Looks like things were out for about 3 hours or so- appears there was a backlog with the Validators. Still getting lots of "Project has no tasks available" responses, but every so often i'm able to get a batch of work to replace my returned work. |

Posted 26 May 2023 by Grant (SSSF) Post: Is the server just bogged down because of the Formula BOINC Challenge ??Another idiotic challenge? That could explain it. Been getting the "Project has no tasks available" message for an hour or so myself. Edit- In progress work is climbing almost vertically, so it looks like a case of another challenge & the Feeder/servers can't handle the load. |

Edit- ah, i found this in the "Universe@Home Computing Credits Not Updating" thread I have done some work as our main server stuck again today with no space left on disk. Is that new (second hand) system with the faster & larger storage ready to go yet? |
