Well, atm server status says 35 separation WUs available to send. When I checked previously there were only 15 of those. Half of my hosts cannot connect to the server. The other half, when managing to connect, get only a handful of WUs. Quite a bit of a mess I'd say.

No more separation WUs, is that it?

We don't know yet. It has been shipped to the manufacturer and received. It sounds like it has been approved and they are sending us a new drive (soon!).
I can't believe you don't have a spare for something this important. If money is a problem, I'm sure many of us would donate.

Definitely, I think redundancy is very important and many of the volunteers will support that.

Is anyone getting any WUs? Status says there are plenty, but I'm not getting any.

edit.
ok that was weird. I've gotten some now.

Yes, the server gives WUs in a random pattern. Even if one requests work manually, the server sometimes sends a random amount of WUs (as far as I can tell) and sometimes doesn't send anything at all. Totally weird.

Well, I find these bad leftovers still problematic as they cause my client to backoff exponentially for some reason.

Might be related to driver update. Try uninstalling the current driver and install the version you had prior the update.

Just out of curiosity, what is the reason for the considerable drop in RAC in the last few days? Is there an influx of new users or are there less credits per task?
Cheers,

Hello Tom,
Thank you for the flush.
The invalids are still rising albeit much slower now at 417.

Yep, I can confirm that. Just out of curiosity, is there a solution to the problem that is likely to be implemented at some point?

Yep, invalid tasks are going down for me too. From 640 couple of days ago down to 380 at the moment. Thanks for sorting this out and cheers!

Yeah, I'm aware of that and hav disabled driver updates. Otherwise windows all the time shoves in crap drivers.

I somehow end up with substantial amount oh inconclusive tasks (more than 50% actually). Is anyone else seeing something like that?

Yep, seems all right for me too. Crunching WUs nicely.
Thanks for sorting this out!

Well, AFAIK the driver issue is only for particular Nvidia drivers, so it's not affecting all crunchers. It's a bit over the top to suspend all WUs just for that.
Whatever the reason, they should have communicated it by now, not very helpful on their part.

Yes, I saw that the generators are down and was wondering whether someone could shed some light on why, when, etc.
Also, how is it possible that there are 600K+ tasks in progress?! Someone knew that the generators will be down and was hoarding taks of what ?

Hello,
Have I missed something, or are there really no WU available for crunching? Quite surprising, it's the first time I see something like that since I joined MW.

Looks like rpc_delay of 90 secs is a bit hard on the server? Since yesterday, my Event Log is showing a lot of these:

Same with me, it seems quite hard on the server indeed.

I was able to fix the error with the not downloadabel exe. I downloaded the file from https://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/download/ and copied it manually to the project folder.

Greetings Marcus



Thanks for the advise, downloading the .exe file sorted it out for me too (from the 3rd attempt).

Thanks for the replies.
I am not particularity bothered about the pauses since the WUs are completing OK and without errors. I was rather curios if there is something wrong on my part, but if this is normal then that's OK.

And I am running 4 WUs concurrently per GPU, that helps but on couple of the GPUs the pauses are still noticeable.
