Gauntlet 2009 Joiners Thread!

I still have several hundred WU available for my CPU, so I'll have to convert most of them to the GPUs, since I have about 20 GPU WUs.

Don't forget: after the outage, the whole world will be trying to report completed WU's and download fresh work, so the data pipeline will be maxxed out again, and it'll be slow going until things settle down.

Ah didn't think of that

Ah didn't think of that

It's not usually too much of a problem.

Things usually start to speed up around 0630 here in the UK, and normal service (whatever that is!!) resumes about lunchtime.

 

[Berserker]

It's alive!

Outage notice hasn't disappeared yet though, so it might go down again.

 

[TheTross]

Not quite alive yet - I can't upload any work at the mo.

 

[Biffa]

yeah and website is down http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/home.php

 

[shadowscotland]

been uploading wu without issue all day - a few every hour and 3 in the last few minutes - just can't get any new ones

 

[Biffa]

web workin again

 

[shadowscotland]

it is - but still at work, sitting next to an idle quad doing ceiling layouts in a new school we are designing

 

[loudbob]

Can upload without problem.

Just can't report or get new work.

Nearly 300 units to report here.

Quick post-weekly-outage wrapup: everything went fine, albeit a little slow given recent events. The replica recovery is going on now. Hopefully it'll continue along safely overnight and we can turn the replica back on sometime tomorrow.

One hilarious note. All our server reboots over the weekend dislodged several instances of sendmail, which then went on to send forth unexpectedly large queues of cronjob/server related e-mails to me, Jeff, and Eric. We're talking about 35,000 e-mails, all of which went through the lab spam firewall first, thus clobbering everybody's e-mail in the entire Space Lab for about 24 hours. Fun.

LOL! Fancy mail bombing themselves.

 

[shadowscotland]

Quad up and running now - 2 days of wu's and counting.

Brilliant!

At least they've got the important bits sorted for us!

Fingers crossed we can get back to some serious crunching!

 

[Berserker]

We're now less than 80k behind OCforums. Some of that may be fallout from the outages, but some of it isn't. We can do this!

Must go faster! Must go faster! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!

Not sure the Gauntlet stats have updated fully yet, I'm sure my total was 136K before the recent outage and is still there. I've done almost 100k since last Friday according to my Boinc client. Plus the total credit graph is still almost flat

 

[Stuart Gibson]

According to BOINCstats I gained 172k after the crash period!

That's almost double my previous best of 89k , and will in all likelyhood never be beaten (by me, anyway!).

But now I've increased my caches to 7 days (up from 4, just in case!) and they are now full!

So... onwards to victory!! (or at least as near as we can get!)

And there I was feeling quite happy about my 28K!!!

Oh well it all helps...

 

[Marine Iguana]
