Just wanted to let you know that I'm looking into these issues further on the ATI server that I maintain (vspg2v2). So far it looks like WUs are being sent/received fine, but I'll dig deeper into the reported errors. Hopefully we'll figure out what's going on soon.

p.s. I'm rebuilding the job stack (again) on this machine, so pleas bear with us with the intermittent unavailability...

Thanks for the updates. Yeah, server is currently unavailable, but the last WU resulted in UNSTABLE_MACHINE five times.

Project: 5745 (Run 0, Clone 59, Gen 228) was first reported as bad on 2009-12-18 (Fri), 5:11 pm. I have added the relevant part of my GPU log to the existing thread.

How are things going from the donor side? Has it gotten any better?

Yes, thank you. There has been a very noticeable improvement. Since my last UNSTABLE_MACHINE report mentioned above, both GPU clients are able to receive work and continue to have clean runs.

Better here - working on Project: 5742 (Run 2, Clone 275, Gen 0) with no problems yet.

Thanks!

I just checked logs. Some machines showed the unstable error over the weekend. Today all are flowing. Maybe too early to tell if anything has improved yet...

Let's stay on topic here. The topic title is "No appropriate work server..." That was a problem, and I believe that you have to agree that it has certainly improved. The stablity of the WUs being is really a separate issue.

From your perspective, I can see how getting unstable WUs assigned isn't any better than getting no WUs assigned but from the Pande Group's perspective, they have entirely different causes and entirely different fixes. I'm sure that they intend to fix both problems, but you're not answering the question that was asked.

All my ATI clients are receiving WU and are happily folding. Thanks to Bruce for contacting FAH, vvoelz for fixing it and to Prof for the follow up!

Since Monday morning both GPU clients receive good work units in the first attempt - no more waiting and so far no more "UNSTABLE_MACHINE" .

That server was down from Mon Aug 16 09:00:11 PDT 2010 to 11:00 and you posted at 10:00 PDT. There is a second Work Server for ATI but it is currently out of WUs to assign.
