Not for me. No uploads, no downloads, and I have only 2 work units left.

None of my WU's are uploading now. With or without the "hosts" mod.


What server is it trying to reach? Is it srv6.bakerlab.org? (See Holmis's post earlier in the thread: http://boinc.bakerlab.org/forum_thread.php?id=5880#71982)

Can you see any other error messages under the Messages tab of the Boinc Manager?


It says that the project servers might be down. Everything is uploading now.

Does anyone know if this has been sorted or ever will be sorted at bakerlab's end?


As transient indicates, this particular issue should be fixed now, and the srv6.bakerlab.org domain name should point to a live server.
Please let us know if you're still seeing problems, keeping in mind that it might take a little while for the DNS changes to propagate to all the ends of the internet.

Thanks for bearing with us during these recent server move hiccups.

They did give advance notice on January 2nd. It was on the main page under "news"

"Jan 02, 2012
The hardware hosting the Rosetta@Home project is being moved from one datacenter to another on the UW campus. We are using this disruption to update the sagging, aging gear that runs the project. All of this will result in a few days of down time. We will work to keep the outage to a minimum, but you migh want to grab enough work for a 4-5 day period. We appreciate your patience, interest and continued contributions to our research. -KEL"

I think that you are asking for validate errors with this method because it is quite possible that the server that a work unit is assigned to is the only one that can validate it.[/quote]


Not true. I had no validation problems, and received credit for all of the uploaded work units.

[quote]Apparently, yes, there is. put this line in your "hosts" file - somewhere under windows, just "hosts", with no extension:

128.95.160.145 srv6.bakerlab.org

just by itself. Then, requests to srv6 will go to srv4. All mine are gone now......

That worked fine for me! Thanks!

I see that we're out of work again. Hopefully they'll add some more jobs today.

As of now there are only 18,000 WU's left. My Boinc manager is already giving the message: "Message
From Server: No Work Sent."

We will probably run out of WU's in a few hours and shut-down for the rest of the weekend.

"2 years ago, it was 512mb per core, now it's 1gb "


My computer is still using an average of 470mb per core. I have never seen it use 1gb per core.

I just got 4 new tasks, so maybe it's fixed now?

Thanks again Mod.Sense, I have it working perfectly now with 2 batch files, and Microsoft Scheduler. It runs 4 cpu's at 51% during buisness hours, and 8 cpu's at 91% the rest of the time.

Regards, Rock

Thank you for the reply. Yes, it is a windows machine, and I have tried various core limitations with the same jerky results. I will check out TThrottle. I didn't realize there were command line options with the Boinc manager. I will check them out too. I just love the challenge of a good batch file LOL!

Regards, Rock.

Hi all; I am a newbie here, and have a few questions concerning the software schedules. First of all, I am using one of our under-utilized servers in an industrial environment. It is an HP Proliant DL-580, 8 Xeon CPU machine running at 3.0ghz, and with 8GB of RAM. During buisness hours, I am running it at 70% CPU time, and evenings and weekends it is running at 99%. It is in a very cold environment, so heating issues aren't a problem with running it that hard, in fact, none of the CPU's ever get over 115 degrees F.

I have the time schedules working correctly, but I always have to change the CPU time manually. Is there a way to automate CPU time changes along with the time schedules?

Also, when the machine is running at 70%, all of the CPU's run at 100% for a time, then drop to 30% for a few seconds, then back up to 100%. I guess that's how the software averages the CPU time, but it sure looks jerky, and I'm not sure that it is good for the CPU's. Is there a way to throttle the CPU's more evenly so that they are at a constant 70% ? TIA
