Download and Storage....

[StillinSchool]

Ok, just got in this morning to find that 10 of the 12 machines are at 100%.

How long they have been this way is unknown, but I can state I Have been here 15 minutes and they have yet to cycle.


Here is a suggestion, and keep in mind I do not know the workings of the program for your feedback to my suggestion. Or atleast explain why the suggestion would not work.

Since these machine are available to process for 100% CPU power during the weekends and generally 50% or less during the week, it seems that if there is a problem UPLOADING the data to the servers before I can obtain a new Work load that maybe the Work Data I presently have should be Stored and a new Work order accepted to work on.

Then have the program check once an hour for the ability to contact the Upload server, when there is stored Work Data, to unload while the machine is able to keep processing?

I ask because 3 of this units have 15pt. projects download over 2d 16h. There is no way it took them all weekend to process those units.



Now, on a side note, if the Upload server did not go down, what would have prevented these from being sent?




Basically, I want to know or have it designed to keep these processors processing not sitting idle during the 60hour window of time. If it is an error on my part then explain how I can correct it. If it is an error on your end, design to compensate for the error.

I think those clients have hung...

This functionality is already built into the client: it can store a maximum of 9 completed units while working on a 10th if it can download but not upload.

Then have the program check once an hour for the ability to contact the Upload server, when there is stored Work Data, to unload while the machine is able to keep processing?

This is also already built in, although the check is only performed every six hours. (log snips below)

Code: Select all

[07:03:26] - Autosending finished units... [September 21 07:03:26 UTC]
[07:03:26] Trying to send all finished work units
[07:03:26] + No unsent completed units remaining.
[07:03:26] - Autosend completed

Code: Select all

[13:03:25] - Autosending finished units... [September 21 13:03:25 UTC]
[13:03:25] Trying to send all finished work units
[13:03:25] + No unsent completed units remaining.
[13:03:25] - Autosend completed

Ahh. Thank you for the reply.

I will see if I can find a reason that 10 of the 12 would hang.
