WU Shortages

[Joe_H]

The current assign rate on 129.32.209.203 is a bit over 1000 WUs an hour, so don't get where you see them not getting assigned. As for a "ton of jobs" I only see about 2800 listed as available.

206.223.170.146 only has OpenMM jobs for GPU folding using Core_22, and appears to be out of WUs. There may be an issue with its availability updates getting the the Assignment Servers, they are still directing connections there and that is why the rate is so high.

That's not true - 206.223.170.146 also has P17231 A7 jobs (see the Project List) - I think it's a bug on the server stats page. All of my CPU Slots are currently loaded with these jobs, but there are too few of them - it takes several assignment attempts to get one. There are also A8 jobs on 129.32.209.204 (P16935) - i got one today, but these are extremely rare.

206.223.170.146 may not have many WUs for those A7 projects, if not available the status page may not list that for types available. Currently with no jobs at all listed as available, neither A7 nor OpenMM are listed under Project Types. The WS is in Accept mode, as WUs are returned the next Gen for each will be generated and sent out.

It looks like they brought additional CPU jobs and even servers online since 2021-03-20 (vav18 /129.32.209.201 was down before) and I didn't have any idle slots since saturday, so the issue is fixed for me. I just noticed that 66.170.111.50 is getting low on disk space (only 102GB left), so hopefully the researchers are looking into it.

The researchers have been notified, and hopefully will get some space cleared on 66.170.111.50 soon.

When there's even a moderate shortage of WUs, then everybody gets assignments from fewer servers and those servers tend to run out of space more rapidly. The owners of those projects appreciate the increase in activity on their servers but they have to monitor free space more carefully.
