Some BOINC v7 clients are getting into a weird state where they contact the server every few minutes to request no work. I haven't been able to reproduce it, but people have reported that it goes away when they select "read config file", even if they don't have a config file.
Here's a not very detailed log that someone sent me. On the server side it appears to be a request for 0 seconds of CPU and 0 seconds of GPU work (essentially the same as requesting an update when no work is required). 5/31/2013 10:30:23 AM | SETI@home | Starting task 23jn12ab.24163.21032.12.11.50_1 using setiathome_enhanced version 609 (cuda23) in slot 2 5/31/2013 10:30:25 AM | SETI@home | Started upload of 23oc12ac.25717.18472.12.11.50_0_0 5/31/2013 10:30:28 AM | SETI@home | Finished upload of 23oc12ac.25717.18472.12.11.50_0_0 5/31/2013 11:31:14 AM | SETI@home | Computation for task 23jn12ab.24163.21032.12.11.50_1 finished 5/31/2013 11:31:14 AM | SETI@home | Starting task 23oc12ac.25646.13973.15.12.45_0 using setiathome_v7 version 700 (cuda32) in slot 2 5/31/2013 11:31:18 AM | SETI@home | Started upload of 23jn12ab.24163.21032.12.11.50_1_0 5/31/2013 11:31:25 AM | SETI@home | Finished upload of 23jn12ab.24163.21032.12.11.50_1_0 5/31/2013 11:31:28 AM | SETI@home | Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. 5/31/2013 11:31:28 AM | SETI@home | Reporting 2 completed tasks 5/31/2013 11:31:28 AM | SETI@home | Not requesting tasks 5/31/2013 11:31:30 AM | SETI@home | Scheduler request completed 5/31/2013 11:33:26 AM | SETI@home | Computation for task 26mr10ab.24819.17826.5.11.138_0 finished 5/31/2013 11:33:26 AM | SETI@home | Starting task 23oc12ac.25646.13973.15.12.40_0 using setiathome_v7 version 700 in slot 1 5/31/2013 11:33:29 AM | SETI@home | Started upload of 26mr10ab.24819.17826.5.11.138_0_0 5/31/2013 11:33:32 AM | SETI@home | Finished upload of 26mr10ab.24819.17826.5.11.138_0_0 5/31/2013 11:36:35 AM | SETI@home | Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. 5/31/2013 11:36:35 AM | SETI@home | Reporting 1 completed tasks 5/31/2013 11:36:35 AM | SETI@home | Not requesting tasks 5/31/2013 11:36:37 AM | SETI@home | Scheduler request completed 5/31/2013 1:28:09 PM | SETI@home | Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. 5/31/2013 1:28:09 PM | SETI@home | Not requesting tasks 5/31/2013 1:28:11 PM | SETI@home | Scheduler request completed 5/31/2013 1:33:15 PM | SETI@home | Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. 5/31/2013 1:33:15 PM | SETI@home | Not requesting tasks 5/31/2013 1:33:19 PM | SETI@home | Scheduler request completed 5/31/2013 1:38:23 PM | SETI@home | Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. 5/31/2013 1:38:23 PM | SETI@home | Not requesting tasks 5/31/2013 1:38:26 PM | SETI@home | Scheduler request completed 5/31/2013 1:43:30 PM | SETI@home | Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. 5/31/2013 1:43:30 PM | SETI@home | Not requesting tasks 5/31/2013 1:43:33 PM | SETI@home | Scheduler request completed 5/31/2013 1:48:37 PM | SETI@home | Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. 5/31/2013 1:48:37 PM | SETI@home | Not requesting tasks 5/31/2013 1:48:40 PM | SETI@home | Scheduler request completed 5/31/2013 1:53:45 PM | SETI@home | Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. 5/31/2013 1:53:45 PM | SETI@home | Not requesting tasks 5/31/2013 1:53:48 PM | SETI@home | Scheduler request completed 5/31/2013 1:58:52 PM | SETI@home | Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. 5/31/2013 1:58:52 PM | SETI@home | Not requesting tasks 5/31/2013 1:58:55 PM | SETI@home | Scheduler request completed 5/31/2013 2:30:19 PM | SETI@home | Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. 5/31/2013 2:30:19 PM | SETI@home | Not requesting tasks 5/31/2013 2:30:21 PM | SETI@home | Scheduler request completed 5/31/2013 2:35:26 PM | SETI@home | Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. 5/31/2013 2:35:26 PM | SETI@home | Not requesting tasks 5/31/2013 2:35:28 PM | SETI@home | Scheduler request completed _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
