Seti is down again

[Fredericx51]

Managed to get my tasks UPLoaded and got a lot of work D-Loaded, some of them took 2 hour to download.
Just got my first results from my GTX480, doing OK running 3 (0.04CPU+0.33GPU) SETI CUDA and 4 on CPU.
To get it running, I had to use 1x8 pin 17Amp, 1x6 pin 17Amp and a additional  3- 8 AMP from the Mobo.
And gets very hot, 88-92C is 'quite normal' , you can't even toch the copper pipes.

Hope they do get SETI, back on line.

We're not the only ones with a problem with the heat. 

Cheer leading team is banned for being to damned HOT. What's wrong with you ruskies?

Well the Russians isn't to blame...

Not surprisingly....

where Muslim countries will take part

[perryjay]

Id keep the cheerleaders and send the Muslims home if they didn't like it.   

[msattler]

Ouch.............
I hope there is no real damage to the servers.
That dang AC has been a problem child for some time now.
I think they need an alarm of some kind that would dial a handful of phone numbers to alert somebody when it goes on the fritz so they could shut things down before any real damage occurs.

ROFL
Just FYI: Russia is not Muslim country  Dominating religion here is Orthodoxy

I also wonder how many of the downloads started during the ~24 hours work was being delivered actually completed. BOINC getting a little bit of all downloads rather than trying to get at least a few completed was somewhat modified by the "project backoff" mechanism, but still I bet a lot of users have more partial transfers than completed ones.

Yeah, I had >20 ATi MB tasks and 2 ATi AP tasks in download queue but nothing was downloaded for ~6-8 hours Now ATi GPU busy with MW instead of SETI...

[Fredericx51]

Not only UPLoad's are stuck but DLoad's too and indeed a lot of them are 'partially' UP- or D'Loaded.
This could give a lot of "Ghosts", I take it.
Suspending network isn't an option, I think. This can go on till tomorrow, unless somebody is going to
'kick' the UPLoad & D'Load servers and start the AC first, an alarm should be in place, for this, cause
 this can give real damage...........

UP-- & D'Load have been intermittant, last 36- 48 hours.

[Cosmic_Ocean]

Well the problem is, it's probably not an issue that nobody in the lab wants to go up there on a Sunday, but the AC is Berkeley's problem, and whoever needs to kick the AC either can't or won't go in on a Sunday, so they'll likely come in Monday morning, and after they get it working, then the lab can start bringing servers up..and then bring them down less than a day later for maintenance.

I bet you not any more as the assimulator crashed at MW. Right now I am crunching DNETC work on my 5830.

[msattler]

Well, something's changed...........
Home page is gone again now.
Whether that's a good or bad sign I am not sure.

[IrishFBall32]

Homepage is served out of the same closet as the rest of the project... If the heat got to be too much, the team would have to shut it down also... I think I'd set up a laptop or something else that runs cool that can just serve simple text only 'Project down due to cooling issues' messages to homepage requests.

[VoidPilot]

I suspect that it is going to be down for a while.  There is also the issue of the 3 day out and if they will still have that and, if they do, what happens afterwards with volumes.

I myself was running 1 of my boxes dry to change GPUs to Fermi and got caught out.  That's going to put a dint in the old run rate, oh well, s^^t happens.

Straining my memory here but if I remember correctly the homepage is run off the Berkeley servers separate of the SETI servers. That's why most of the time we can see the homepage when all the SETI servers are down for maint.

I believe this is the case.  I know the homepage uses the campus ISP, but I can't remember if it is in a different closet/building or not.  If everything was up, a few forum searches would find the answer.

[perryjay]

I think I've figured it out!  SABOTAGE!!!  The campus IT guys just found out SETI is getting a shiny new server and got jealous! They broke the AC and then shut down the SETI Front page.
