Latest Seti Bandwidth News....

Yesterday (May 22) was a busy day for SETI@home.

We have been preparing for a while to vastly increase our bandwidth. For more information on that, see the article from the Planetary Society: A Question of Bandwidth.

There was a network outage early in the day to establish the complete link between the routers in the Space Sciences Lab in Berkeley to the commercial internet in Palo Alto. We attempted this last week but failed due to a flaky media converter. However, this time around the link was successfully established! Central campus will load test over the weekend before we attempt to put the SETI@home data server on this pipe (early next week, we hope).

On this same day we completely reorganized our server closet. Matt will present a photo essay about the whole ordeal shortly. Basically, after many months we successfully cleaned up all long-standing problems with the online science database and moved it entirely onto our NetApp filer. This allowed us to remove eight external six-packs of drives from our science database server, now that they weren't being used anymore. Since we were doing that, we took this opportunity to clean up the whole closet, reconfigure the power distribution, untangle nests of ethernet/scsi wires, rack mount our Sun E450 servers to make extra floor space, and even vacuum out all the dust bunnies in the corners.

Looks like all the tests went well and we will see the bandwidth some time next week or the following week. 🙂
 
When they are done, they should then come over to my house and help clean up the mess I have managed to accumulate. 😛
 
Yeah, thanks again Crazee! 😀


/let's see, 5,000 - 4,991 less this one means I've only got 8 more posts to the my next milestone! :Q

/then I'll rest and take a nap. 🙂 😛
 
Even without the big change it looks like the logjam has been broken! I was able to send in all my backlog since 9:30 PM EST last night! It also looks like OK only has 100 results on his proxy, assuming that they haven't just been moved elsewhere.

I have just been able to download a bunch of WU's direct from bezerkley so I am happy that both my computers have enough to get through this 3 day weekend! Yipeeee!

alas....that is the case..........2290 still waiting to go 🙁
 
I've got 55 results stuck in my Q so both mine & my brothers stats are going to be low this week🙁

I've just altered my Q's pocessing times so that it flushes between 10pm to 6am UTC ,those are optimal times aren't they?
 
anyone fancy letting me know what i can do with these 'problem results' pls ? got 3 at the mo, which is quite a lot given my single machine output :S i think they're getting put in the problem pile cos they cant be transmitted due to bandwidth probs. TIA.

I've got sufficiently annoyed about the problem that I've altered the times to allow it to connect for 23hrs! ,doesn't seemed to of helped yet.
You know its funny how most of the time he can still connect fine even when many others are having probs ,yet now most people seem to be able connect & my mate can't!😕wth?

Hi Aberant 🙂
Longtime no see ,
what are the problems with your errant WU's?
 
hey assim 🙂 indeed it is LTNS, am still very ill hence my low profile atm. anyways, to the issue at hand - i got 3 results queued as problems - all have Submission Error Count = 4, and Last Submission Error = Thread Timeout. i think this is becuase i cant connect to the berkely server more than anything else, which i'm currently trying to resolve - i think it's cos of my firewall. anyway, any hints as to how to get the q to resend em when i can get it to connect wud b gud 🙂 ta. also, what's this ping facility i hear about in the q ? obv i know what a ping is, just not in reference to a q. thanks 🙂
 
The ping facilty will ping whoever you are getting WU's from

I've not encountered those errors myself but I expect if you look in the SETIQ/client directory you will find an error folder or stuck folder.To resubmit them just move the results out of their & back into the SETIQ main directory.Restart SETIQ & it'll recognise them🙂 (when opening the Q window they will be shown in [] brackets at the bottom right next 'r'
Sorry to hear you are still ill🙁 ,man that's been a long time hasn't it!?:Q ,hope you get better quickly!

Take it easy 🙂
