BOINC is up and running again
I'm happy to announce that we are finally up and running again at full speed!

To those of you whom might not now, we had issues with our brand new server. We were suffering from performance degradation and frequent spontaneous reboots.
Now we have migrated to a temporary loaner server while our original server is being tested to find the cause of the issues.
Previously it were running NetBSD 6.0 with LVM to manage the space, but we think it's what's causing the problems and so the server will be reinstalled with NetBSD 5.1 without LVM after the testing phase has completed, to keep things simple.

Until then, we hope you will help us test our temporary loaner server. Let's see how much it can take before going down

Server issues hopefully isolated
Summary:
1) We are still alive.
2) No new work is being queued
3) We have two systems setup - both of which we can remotely power cycle
4) We're migrating to NetBSD 5.1-STABLE since we've ruled out hardware

GPU work resume
Within about the next hour we will start WU handout for the next table.

WU handout stop (likely 2+ weeks)

cuda work continues!
Martin and I determined what sets to do next and at the current rate this is 1.5 months of work. CPU work is already queued for 1week+ but we have a path on CPU work so we can keep feeding that queue.

The current cuda table is:
ntlm_loweralpha-numeric#1-10_0_344000x999424

This is a shorter chain length than the table winding down but the chain count has been increased to 999424. These WUs will be 7.625 MiB per upload and the chain count is aligned with cuda kernel call sizes. They should take longer than the current table per WU so the uploads should be less frequent. (Before changes these uploads would have been 9.53 MiB)

We still have the issue of perfecting keeping up so we will hit disk space issues in a little over a week with no perfecting at all. Of course we're perfecting as fast as we can so that should be considered a worst case scenario. 22 Nov 2011 18:16:52 UTC · Comment
