171.64.65.56 not responding

[toTOW]

It's currently up, but out of work

[314159]

Nope.

It is thin in available WUs due to the fiasco with xx.108.24 however I have received at least three WUs from this server over the past couple of hours. Apparently, when it is not "503" or "AS blocked", a ton of Quads (not mine) are being assigned to it so there should be a huge supply of xx.56 WUs tomorrow.

Meanwhile, MOST of my damn Quads were assigned p5102's or equivalent and are less than 50% utilized. Argh!!!
This truly irks me given the presence of the "special bonus" for dual Quads that produces 50k plus/WU (effectively + or minus a 100% bonus).
The logic behind that program totally escapes me and I would love to see the private discussion related to implementing that "plan".

We fold on.......happily or unhappily........

[toTOW]

The server that serves BidAdv WUs is down too ... we're all in the same boat

[314159]

Hey toTOW,

Do the math! You're a bright chap!

Given the timeframe that these servers were down, the net effect on a Quad that typically returns 3 WUs/day (and gets stuck with "a1s" as happened here) is SIGNIFICANTLY different than a dual Quad that takes 2 days plus to complete those "biggies".

This is accurate for those of us with SMP "farms" and also for the aggregate throughput of the Project.

Most of my 13 Quads are just spinning their wheels at this stage.
Several of my dualies are challenged to make preferred deadlines. <--sad not "mad"

never mind
I was just inpatient, it happened on 2 server at the same time.

[314159]

This server is behaving fine at present (as you noted) - just cleared two "autosend" WUs through it and another amazingly sent to the infamous xx.25 CS after a 503 from xx.56.

HOWEVER: DL=0 on xx.56 so be prepared for the worst over the next few hours if our friend Dr. Kasson is not available (or other events occur).

If the latter IS an issue, is there any way this can be resolved prior to ~7:45 PDT when my C2D's start completing?

[kasson]

We should be good for a bit--about 400G of space cleared on the server.

[Ragnar Dan]

I've got one C2D machine which has been waiting since 18:16:14 UTC for a new WU. Status 503, over and over.

[Rum@NoV]

[BrokenWolf]

I have 6 (most likely more @ work) systems in the same boat. Can we kick this server a bit and get it to play nicely again?


Thanks,

BW

[Ragnar Dan]

Mine finally got one ~19:40.

[314159]

The netload on this server has looked a bit fishy most of the day.

It does appear to be accepting at least some completed WUs but not assigning.

Most of my C2D's complete between 430PM PDT and 1150PM PDT and I am not looking forward to another "challenging" weekend.

@ BW: You've been putting up too many WUs recently so I personally disabled your clients.
(Keep up the GREAT WORK)

[kasson]

Just restarted the binary; hopefully that will help.

[314159]

Thanks, as always

Looks good from here. The first of several C2D WUs was sent and acknowledged at 449PM (your time), and a new one was issued with no time lag.
Xfer rate on both send and receive were actually a bit faster than ususal.

Netload appears MUCH more reasonable.

My fingers are now crossed for the weekend.
I suspect that yours are too.
