Posted 21 May 2020 by robertmiles Post: [snip] I think Asteroids need to update their PPD credit system for GPUs, MOST of the BOINC projects will, after a shutdown, offer some time to upload any processed tasks, and accept them even if their deadlines have expired, if the quotas for the WUs have not been met yet. You may need to watch carefully to see how close Asteroids@home is to doing this. |

Posted 16 Feb 2020 by robertmiles Post: The project is currently sending out more tasks, even when it cannot accept uploads of results of completed tasks. Is this suitable for freeing up disk space on the server, or is it increasing the amount of disk space in use instead? Should the project stop sending out any more tasks if the amount of free disk space drops below a certain level? |

Posted 15 Feb 2020 by robertmiles Post: I get the same message, and looking at the Server status page, you can see that the db_purge service is not running, maybe thats is the problem. How much information do you have on how many workunits have files that are ready to delete and therefore how much space restarting db_purge will save? |

Posted 28 Aug 2019 by robertmiles Post: You may want to create more Windows GPU workunits than usual - GPUGRID has stopped offering any again. |

Posted 12 Jun 2019 by robertmiles Post: "Unfortunately, running a database isn't as simple as adding more drives for space." That might work if the DB server still has room for more physical drives. Does it? |

Posted 6 Feb 2019 by robertmiles Post: How long is this task supposed to run? It's been running 6 hours on a GTX 1080 already. ps_190110_input_96321_1_8 The estimated time remaining went to 00:00:00 at least three hours ago. |

Posted 26 Oct 2018 by robertmiles Post: It looks like the uploads problem is now PARTIALLY fixed, at the cost of a major slowdown in the human-readable part of the project. Most, but not all, of my uploads have finished, and I've downloaded a few new tasks. |

Posted 7 Jul 2018 by robertmiles Post: Hey administration folks, we really should invest in additional disk space! How many of the users are ready to donate some money to pay for the additional disk space and any other changes needed to make it useful? Does the project offer a way to send such money? |

Posted 7 Jul 2018 by robertmiles Post: Looks like time to add another item to the server status - how much free space ts left on the drive that accepts uploads. |

Posted 19 Apr 2017 by robertmiles Post: project2 has only database. If no database is running than the website is down and nothing works. I'll try to do some description there. "Databases for website" should be a good description. then. |

Posted 17 Apr 2017 by robertmiles Post: When you have time, could you modify the server status web page to show either the programs running on host project2, or a reasonable description of what that host is doing that doesn't require any programs there? Not as urgent as getting uploads working properly again. though. |

Posted 11 Apr 2017 by robertmiles Post: I've thought of a way to save a little space on the server. Whenever uploads are blocked, don't send additional tasks for workunits that have hit their deadlines until uploads have been unblocked for the last 24 hours. |

Posted 10 Apr 2017 by robertmiles Post: May be a problem - server currently doesn't have enough free disk space to allow any uploads. |

Posted 10 Apr 2017 by robertmiles Post: Unclear - this project currently has enough of a disk space problem to prevent uploads. Watch for signs of how fast this will be fixed. |

Posted 9 Apr 2017 by robertmiles Post: AMD GPUs are not supported because the only GPU app for this project uses legacy CUDA code instead of OpenCL which both Nvidia and AMD GPUs can use. I've read that there is a program called swan that can convert CUDA to OpenCL. However, this was long enough ago that I doubt if it can convert the newer features of CUDA properly. https://github.com/Acellera/swan |
