Please sir. Can I have some more work units?
----------------------------------------Willie's Wonka! You're REALLY gonna make me wait until every last raggedy unwashed wu has been uploaded aren't you? Yeah, yeah. I'm standing on your last nerve right? I get that a lot.   |

It is safe to upload. The system is recovered.
There is a chance that we will run low on workunits during end of day processing. However, within 3-4 hours normal buffers of work will be restored. |

Crystal Pellet: "Not requesting tasks: too many uploads in progress"
Sekerob: "Not really...it's an old rule. If you have more than 2 times up-loadable results than cores on a host [not sure how GPGPU's are counted in, if at all], no new work is send down till that issue is resolved." I too noticed the "too many uploads in progress" from my BOINC 7.0.44 client when it was uploading GPU HCC results after the outage had ended. But it did not issue a request for work until the very last file had been uploaded. Meanwhile, the question which is the subject of this thread remains unanswered. |

They've been tweaking the scheduling to postpone work requests such as one rule "do not, until uploads are complete". Why for one it did and for the other it did not message... don't know. The messages were an addition of a set of about 14 reasons why work was not send, where the most frequent seen is probably "don't need". There's an emergency rule also that is supposed to kick in and give minimal work when resources idle. If there's a solid recon of that not happening with logging enabled, than it's worth bringing the case to the devs.

OMG, I have one of those. I was staying in a hostel in London in the early 80's and they were renovating. I was working there so I could extend my stay and I said I wanted one since they were throwing them out. Cost me a fortune - or what seemed like it to a poor student - to mail it back to the states, but I think it's really cool. Also a little sad if you think about it, but mostly cool. If you want, I think I know where it is. I can try to dig it out and clean up for a pic. No promises. OT/ Why the heck did you want one and what did you do with it when you returned to US? /OT |

OK, thx, I've enabled scheduled connecting again... 32 hours+ coming in shortly. At the rush speed of over one hundred ten per second being uploaded, you wont have a problem with my 126 spike ;D Crunch On. |

That was not derivable from the single log line ;o) (We keep on nagging about giving us a fair set of log lines of the before and after, which would then have included "Sending scheduler request: Requested by user" or some such :).

<off-topic>
It is easy to label a posting as an 'off-topic' isn't it? I wonder why the term 'off-topic' is not banished on grounds that it is all too common to appear in any thread, including this thread. Anyway... </off-topic> <off-topic> Instead of "Not requesting tasks: too many uploads in progress", I suggest a replacement -- "Servicing of client request for new tasks awaits completion of the uploading of done tasks." Take note of the word "Servicing". If the case is more like 'Delivery', then the word 'Delivery' should replace the word 'Servicing'. Suits me fine either way the actual process goes, just use the right word for the actual process operating. </off-topic> <on-topic> I speculate that the details of whatever happened may be classified as 'just one those things' that may be just academic. As long as the situation is back to normal, so goes the thinking, we crunchers may as well move on as if nothing happened. But I have a guess: the news of vulnerabilities in UPnP may have something to do with the question here of 'what happened ?' </on-topic> ; ; andzgridPost#841 ; |

I can't describe it except to say it seemed like it would be from the early to mid 1900's. It's black with, well, here.   |
