Could be due to the lack of a script or poor timing. Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected? If it makes sense, DON'T do it. ID: 24020 · Rating: 0 · rate: /

I have had many hour or more long stretches of work units flowing. I think it has actually been running pretty darn steady since about 7 this morning. Where as before it was hit and miss 10-15 minute stretches spread out over hours. ID: 24022 · Rating: 0 · rate: /

We all have that problem. I've got a lot more work since Travis brought in the one minute rule, but still not enough to keep my GPUs going 24/7. Or english? Start a German team, and just speak German on your team board. That's unless Blurf decides to mod anything he doesn't understand... :) Cheers, PeterV . ID: 24036 · Rating: 0 · rate: /

Tux said he had the same problem as you so I just assumed... But you're lucky you didn't say Norge else you might have been flamed by ArizonaMoon. :) So you create the German team... Cheers, PeterV .

Last modified: 3 Jun 2009, 19:48:12 UTC We've had server outages and some workunit problems so i'm not sure if thats representative of the situation. I guess only time will tell. Give it a few days - Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining, just making an observation. my prediction is a drop. Of course I have been wrong before, and hope that I am wrong this time. But just as before - when the server crashed a month or so ago, there was a decline in the amount of work completed as depicted below on weekly average. Anytime you add daemons that the server must execute, it will have an impact on performance. My daily production has remained nearly constant, only decreased recently because I have taken all my CPU's off the project, and lost 4 ATI cards. However, you will notice that from the 16th to the 21st - around the other server outtage.. there was a slight production increase... . ID: 24066 · Rating: 0 · rate: /
