Since I don't see any comments about the "outage" I guess it was just me. | |

Since I don't see any comments about the "outage" I guess it was just me. I don't think it was just you. Same thing happened here. I guess GPUGRID was cut off from the internet for a while. | |

There was an outage. Resolved this morning. In such cases we put notices on twitter. | |

There was an outage. Resolved this morning. In such cases we put notices on twitter. OK, Thanks. I guess twitter makes sense when the normal connections are down. But since I don't do twitter I'll have to wait until things are fixed. I was just surprised I didn't see any post here about the outage after-the-fact. | |

I kept asking in the BOINC forums if everyone else was having issues and saw no posts. Found other people saying they could not upload or contact the project. I looked in the BOINC Projects forum and on the BoincStats site about any news of project outage and found no mention. | |

Would have alleviated my concern if the BOINC Projects forum would have had a post about project status. Seems the logical place for news if the project website is unreachable or missing.It's usually Moderators or other active volunteers who spread the news of either planned outages or other unexpected breakdowns. This particular overnight outage corresponded with European volunteers' sleep time. Our early-morning observations coincided with the staff restarting the project, so that's what I posted. | |

There was an outage. Resolved this morning. Every projects I collaborate with, suffer temporal outages from time to time. No exception. I took this one as an opportunity to experiment. Early this morning, I found that every my computers had stalled uploads for finished WUs, and took screenshots. 5 computers, 12 WUs. After a little spreadsheet work, we have this: Some conclusions for current GPUGrid WUs: -1) Every successfully processed WU is returning 6 files, with names finishing in _0 _1 _2 _8 _9 and _10 _10 files size is small and constant: 274 bytes _0 files size is nearly constant, ranging from 3,15 to 3,20 KB in the studied WUs _1 and _2 files sizes are the same, variable, and ranging from 545 to 911 KB in the sample _8 files have been always the biggest ones, variable, and ranging from 2,67 to 4,45 MB in the observed WUs _9 files size are also variable, and ranging from 927 to 1536 KB in the sample -2) The returned total size for results can be taken as a very good indicative for WUs complexity, and are independent from computers and GPUs used to process. Slower computers will take more time to process, but the resulting file sizes are the same if the same WUs are processed in faster ones. -3) As seen in Credits/MB column, this value is nearly constant: average 2824 credits per MB returned. Credits awarded are proportional to WUs complexity, and therefore to the total size of the returned results. -4) Average size for returned results was 6,367 MB each WU. Currently 310000 WUs ready to send: potentially 1,88 TB in results (wow) Now my curiosity in this respect is a bit more calmed down. | |

All correct. | |

I'm banned for life from Tweeter for saying what I really think of ImPOTUS the Imbecile and his Lickspittle Lackeys. If folks had a day of WUs DLed maybe they wouldn't get so rattled. Time to increase 2 WU/GPU to 12 WU/GPU. | |

I don't whether or not this is related to the outage, but just before the outage the server created another account for one of my computers. | |

I don't whether or not this is related to the outage, but just before the outage the server created another account for one of my computers. The server created another account for my computer "ID 525914", see link above. It happened around the time the server was temporarily inaccessible. This "server inaccessibility" has happened several times in the last few weeks. I can't even load the gpugrid website, during this time, even though I have complete internet access. It seems the server has trouble handling the 300,000+ WUs. | |
