As usual, I go out of town and the server crashes. Work should be flowing, just give the server some time to catch up. --Travis

Yeah, it is running. But only half... My scheduler is only asking for CPU tasks. |

You crashed, Collatz kept dropping off the internet and SETI was only allowing 20 units at a time. I had to get work from DNETC just to keep the GPU warm this weekend.

Recently, i have been receiving one task per gpu. has the limitation been reduced again? Also, the server crashes more frequently in last several weeks. How about upgrading the server? |

I keep having problems with Milkyway. I don't seem to be getting credit for completed work, and after completion sometimes there is no work available. 7/14/2010 6:11:25 AM Milkyway@home Requesting new tasks 7/14/2010 6:11:26 AM Milkyway@home Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks 7/14/2010 6:11:26 AM Milkyway@home Message from server: No work available 7/14/2010 6:19:31 AM Milkyway@home Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. 7/14/2010 6:19:31 AM Milkyway@home Requesting new tasks 7/14/2010 6:19:32 AM Milkyway@home Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks 7/14/2010 6:19:32 AM Milkyway@home Message from server: No work available 7/14/2010 6:41:39 AM Milkyway@home Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. It seems to be a waste of resources to work on this project. |

a) no need to post the same question in multiple threads b) your WU's are waiting for validation see http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/results.php?hostid=116980 c) you could run an optimized app for your CPU (see number crunching section) |

The title of the thread makes a good statement -- work should be flowing. Unfortunately, it hasn't been nor has the validator been functioning for the past 12+ hours. I take it that Travis is out of town again as it seems that 1) Problems happen when he is not around to babysit the servers and 2) No one else at RPI is empowered or trained to resolve the problems.

I was thinking how well Milkyway was doing up until yesterday, then the validator jammed up last night. Was it my thoughts that jinxed the system? Going to take a day or so before the servers are kicked I think. Go away, I was asleep

Shane, sorry for the off topic query, but there hasn't been any reply to the server problem which popped up (again) yesterday (Sunday). Folks probably expected some sort of information this morning, but perhaps Travis is out of town....

I sent Travis an email regarding the issue with the validator. Any additional information you could give on the problem would be helpful. Urgent issues can be emailed to astro@cs.rpi.edu to alert all the project developers (there are currently 11). |

OK -- thanks for the reply. The problem appears identical to the server issues that occurred about two weeks ago. No new work is available and work units are not getting validated. I suspect resolving this (temporarily) would need a server (or process) restart. As to resolving this at the root cause (as it is at least somewhat repetitive) I've no clue (aside from having Travis live onsite with the server 24/7 <smile>). Again, my suspicion as to why there has been no fix (temporary or otherwise) or reply to posts over in the number crunching message board is that Travis is not around at the moment, and, frankly, when he's not around, things go to automatic pilot with less direct attention. It seems that the server is 'sensitive' to Travis not being around to keep it company and tends to cajole Travis (and us) by becoming problematic when he is not around.

I had a brief conversation with Travis and he says the validator had crashed and should be up and running now. Thank you for the heads up. |

The validator has crashed again. In fact, until the root cause issue underneath the validator (and work generator) crashes is recognized and dealt with, you can expect to see this as very much a recurring problem (it has been a recurring problem now for months). As noted elsewhere, the workaround is to set up a automatic process which stop/starts the various processes or does a full server down/restart to clear out the problems (temporarily) -- but this is only a workaround, as it is fairly clear that there is an underlying root cause problem which needs attention.
