Number crunching :
Sudden credit loss
(Message 5779)
Posted 20 Mar 2020 by ardo Just coming back to SRbase after several weeks and I noticed you corrected most of the credit loss, except for the following: * Sierpinski Base - short is missing 491,310 * Sierpinski/Riesel Base - long should be 10,010,745 * Sierpinski/Riesel Base - average should be 5,770,205 The last two mysteriously got a lot of extra credit they should not have. Thanks for all the work on this. Ardo |

News :
server and db crash
(Message 5735)
Posted 29 Feb 2020 by ardo Everything on the server status page shows Ubuntu as the OS, why is there a Windows point of failure at all? Windows 10, is it a LTS build? I don't like running Win10 on my desktop, but I also play games that will not run on Linux. Or run VMware ESXi as bare metal hypervisor with the Ubuntu VM and then Windows also in a VM? |

Limit on tasks
(Message 2425)
Posted 15 Mar 2016 by ardo I can understand that limit of 10 for the long and average tasks, but not for (very) short tasks. Especially for the sub-15 seconds tasks (on my hosts, that is) the cores are more often than not busy doing nothing while waiting for the boinc client and boinc server to finish their spiel of uploading/reporting/downloading. A higher limit would keep those cores (more) busy doing real work. Thanks, Ardo |

Posted 16 Oct 2015 by ardo Just FYI: I do not know what happened and what, if anything, got changed and/or cleared up where, but since yesterday the WUs are flowing as smooth as before I reported the issue in this thread. Life is good again. :-) |

server overloaded ???
(Message 1949)
Posted 13 Oct 2015 by ardo The situation has not changed: Most of the uploads, reports and downloads are OK, but there are quite a few retries, double retries, and even triple retries. And once the uploads succeeds, then there is the wait for the reports to succeed and then there is the downloads with a similar number of retries. I also noticed that some of the download issues are of the "project deferred for large number of minutes" category. The cache is set to 0.1 day. For the (very) short tasks, say less than a minute, that is not sufficient, with the maximum of 7 WUs per core, to survive all the retries making the running idle from time to time. For the longer tasks the cache is sufficient to keep the cores busy continuously. I put one of the hosts temporarily on PrimeGrid doing ESP/PSP/SoB sieving and it all went without any issue whatsoever. And in all the years of doing PrimeGrid WUs I never had this issue. Maybe this project simply does not want me to process that many WUs... ;-) |

Posted 12 Oct 2015 by ardo Some further data: I rebooted all the hosts as well as all the networking equipment, up to and including the cable modem, and the issue persists. Could this be an issue between the Internet and the host you're running this one, like e.g. a firewall? |

Posted 8 Oct 2015 by ardo To gather additional data: I did some tasks from Milkyway@Home and they all went through without any issues. Then I switched back to SRBase and the first update command resulted again in "failing to communicate". |

Posted 7 Oct 2015 by ardo Interesting. Is perhaps the database server "busy" which on its turn makes the web server "busy"? By the way, I switched the hosts to long tasks and average tasks to keep them happily crunching... |

Posted 7 Oct 2015 by ardo Since this weekend new work got uploaded to the server I see a lot of messages "Project communication failed" on all my hosts resulting in my hosts being more idle than productive when trying to do the small tasks. Thanks, Ardo |
