Server - 171.64.65.106

[dedgar]

My only two GPU's are trying to get work from the 106 server. One of them has been trying for more than an hour to get work.
My status logs tell me:

[18:13:17] Initial: 0000; + No appropriate work server was available; will try again in a bit.
[18:13:17] + Couldn't get work instructions.

When I go to the server status page, that tells me that the 106 server is accepting. So what's up (or down)?

9 out of 10 gpu clients are waiting for WUs .. the last one is at 91% complete .... When would this issue got fix?

+++ lots of 1's here.
10 of 11 here, but my electric meter is still spinning waiting at "idle"

5 Client's here waiting for work....

Just received unit's for all 5 from 171.67.108.11...

My Nvidia clients have now all received work, however based on the performance this week, my guess is that there will be huge amonts of downtime this 3-day holiday weekend.

Can we get an ETA from someone with authrity at Pande on how long the "Backlog" will take to get cleared up?

Somebody can probably estimate how many downloads per hour that a server can handle but how do you propose they count the number of clients that need work? (Then, of course, somebody can also estimate how many of them will return a result and be back for more work in X hours and what happens to them.)

Was working nicely for a few days until now:

The server has 118 work units available. It will most likely run out. I have several GPU clients trying to get a work unit from this server, but it is not able to get a work unit. It is now saying "No appropriate work server was available; will try again in a bit".

[ihaque]

Yes, this server looks like it's running low. I'm working on bringing up another server with a couple new projects to handle the load. Continuing network issues are causing problems for GPU assigns.

Thanks ihaque. One of my gpu clients just received a 5911 project from server 171.64.65.20.
