2019 Formula Boinc Sprints

Wow. I turned all of my clients loose this morning and made sure they were uploading before work today. Come to find just now that the Cosmo server sent several of them on vacation by halting uploads and scheduling the next contact for 12-19 hours. So they've just been sitting there all day.

Did you have HTTP timeouts? That's the only reason I can think of that would cause (the client) to defer uploads.

Possibly? But the Internet connection at both sites has been good. I'm not exactly sure which machines had the problem at this point or I would take a look at the logs.

Cosmology@home day one+
Third place !!! Nice We have moved up one place in the Cosmology marathon too. LAF has pass SG in the overall standings and has become the team to beat in order to maintain our fifth overall.

Thanks Kid!

I pity the internet connection the downed server is attached to once they fire it up again. It will be like the entire Cosmos is trying to send in data.

 

[TennesseeTony]

It's alive!

Uploads are good, progress bar goes to 100% quickly, but getting acknowledgment back from the server seems to be the current issue.

Cosmology@home day two+
Third place!!! Even after a 25 hr day. We have moved up two more places in the Cosmology marathon giving us four more points there. LAF looks likely to move up a place and get one point as they get into tenth marathon wise.

Ouch, no last-minute bunker drop I guess.

 

[StefanR5R]

The server has been down (timing out) since Sunday, shortly before 14:00 UTC.

*If* the server is revived before the sprint ends, it still means that many of us can't upload a considerable part of the results computed since last contact with the server, because there simply isn't enough time anymore to upload the large files.

 

[ao_ika_red]

Yeah, looks like my effort through several blackouts this weekend will be fruitless.

edit: IT'S A GO!!!

 

[crashtech]

It will be too little, too late for a large portion of the work I have to upload. Too late for the Sprint anyway, but at least the science still gets done!

 

[StefanR5R]

I have a record of how many tasks were in "uploading" and "uploaded" state at a point not long before the server came back (10,000 and 500), but uncharacteristically, no record of how many of these were still reported in that last hour.

Quite a "what if" finish, looking at the final scores. :-)

And typical Formula Boinc sprinting as we know it. :-|

Edit, those 10,500 results were new ones, completed during the second outage and shortly before.

If the server stayed up for another hour, we may have slipped into second place. It seems your bunker release was timed perfectly.

Cosmology@home final.
Third place it is!!! Nice job everyone.

USA F1 results
With a second place finish Hamilton wraps up his sixth world championship.

• Valtteri Bottas 1:33:55.653
• Lewis Hamilton +4.148
• Max Verstappen +5.002

 

[ao_ika_red]

Ugh, it seems I was a little too late when installing VPN.

Austin F1 race was quite exciting after Bottas' second pitstop, if only Magnussen didn't have brake failure, we would have interesting final lap battle between Hamilton and Verstappen.

 

[Orange Kid]

Totally forgot about this one.

Asteroids@home is up next.

 

[ao_ika_red]

You're not the only one. I'm 12 hours late.

 

[StefanR5R]

I can top this! :-P

 

[crashtech]

I, like I think Stefan originally indicated, was going to skip this Sprint, but since I have some 10 series Nvidia GPUs, those are participating.

 

[Howdy]

Never mind..............

 

[TennesseeTony]

I have fired up a few (8) rigs towards Asteroids, while bunkering for WCG on the main fleet. Fire extinguisher is at the ready.

 

[lane42]

I take it 20xxx cards don't work on asteroids ?

Correct.

According to this, the application was built with an outdated CUDA toolkit. I haven't seen a feedback from the project devs yet.

 

[lane42]

I guess they might as well wait another 6 months or so for these
