The awarded points don't seem right, so far anyway. I think I should be seeing ~175 days worth, but I'm only seeing 55 days.

Edit: Now up to 105 days

80-watt Hamster · Apr 3, 2023

I dunno about points, but WUs I have!

phill · Apr 3, 2023

On any of my crunchers, nothing has downloaded and the stats are still showing empty this morning but we'll see how things progress during the day. The daily totals seems to have updated which is nice, so I'll hopefully get some stats on the forum threads soon

xtreemchaos · Apr 3, 2023

im back up and crunching, only a few jobs for now but its a start.

phill · Apr 3, 2023

I've got a few downloaded and working via some of the crunchers being on, but some are having issues downloading which is a shame but I'm unsurprised with the amount of work units going out

UPDATE!

The storage failure recovery process has been completed and we have resumed computation on the new storage system.

Fingers crossed for smooth sailing for at least a little while

Getting some work now :clap:

windwhirl · Apr 4, 2023

Back to work

phill · Apr 4, 2023

Gotta love the long list of work units... It's been so long!! :eek:

One of my rigs has the threads all used, another about half and the Threadripper about 15 tasks from 64... Gimme Gimme GIMME!! :laugh:

EDIT - Looks like my prays been answered to the crunching gods... All of my crunchers that are currently on, are full and ready to go!

Shame I'm having to leave in less than an hour :laugh:

Has anyone else noticed that the points seem to be a little lower than before or is it just me??

MCM1 or OPN1 or both? None of my OPN1s have validated since the big wave on the 4th of April, not that I produced many. For OPN1 the Claimed credit look like it’s the same as before the draught. MCM1 is still hit or miss on AMD&Linux, some are rewarded much lower than OPN1, others about the same. Since you run WIN10 this isn’t relevant for you but for a few others on the team it is.

I only run my Linux 5950X and even though it’s OpenCL 3.0 capable the odd OPNGs never starts so I have no opinion about GPU points going down.

phill · Apr 8, 2023

I thought in general points where down a little but it might be down to validation times and so on possibly??

Also noticed this morning a few of the PCs are having upload issues trying to return work units... Is anyone else experiencing some slow uploads?

I ran my Linux 5950 overnight and it had no issues other than the OPN runtime were long so I decided to run WIN10 this morning. The runtime fell under similar conditions (100% load) and I started to see upload problems. I very much doubt that there’s any relation between the two

. The upload thing isn’t new to WCG but seeing longer runtime on Linux did surprise me. I let it run some on Windows and observe the runtime thing. The upload problems generally sorts itself out.

Edit: I noticed that instead of running 1299** units I now run 1300** so that could explain the difference in runtime.

Yeah, I've got some WU's stuck in queue.

My money is on ARP as the culprit.

Server-side? My queue's got no ARP in it.

Yes server-side. I normally use THIS LINK to follow active projects. APR has been/is in circulating and history shows that when that is the case uploading is brought to a near halt.

thebluebumblebee · Apr 8, 2023

I've noticed ~~two~~ three things this AM:

My point total, at the halfway mark for the day, is greater than my point total yesterday. (I'm not doing OPN)
None of my systems are uploading.
Bonus: Discovered that one of my systems updated and got stuck in the update process during the great hardware swap, so I've not had its "leftover" points nor its production since WCG restarted.

Toothless sent me some x5675 xeons. They are crunching on some tastey MCMs now.

I love those CPUs

Lower TDP than a X5680/X5690 and can clock pretty damn close to them too

Massive thanks to @Toothless!!

Well it does look like the uploading issues have been at least sorted out for the moment, loaded up the crunchers this morning and it seems that everything has uploaded perfectly fine and with a fairly decent speed as well, so glad that's looking a little promising!

How is everyone else getting on with that??

1freedude · Apr 10, 2023

.....project backoff.....

A handful that get to no more than 1.21% and stop. Retry in 5min or longer

..and it behaved so well for 6-8 hours before you informed us of the return of the backoff. You can always retry manually regardless of time still remaining.

1freedude · Apr 10, 2023

Sometimes a manual retry works, but most the time, no. I dont want to babysit the rigs, and I dont want to waste energy.

I had two machines running from my last post and all completed jobs uploaded without my interference, OPN1 and MCM1.

phill · Apr 10, 2023

I noticed it this morning after yesterday and I think the day before, being a little hit and miss, it seems to have been fine since.. I've not noticed any further issues with the uploads, the downloads have been working just fine though.

Anyone else had any issues at all since?
