You might also notice another change. We've doubled the size of our work units which will reduce our quantization noise by 34%, and, depending on the strength of other noise sources, could give us as much as double that as a sensitivity increase. @SETIEric



For those who didn't recognize the name KIC8462852 in their work unit names, this data comes from GBT observations of Tabby's Star (aka Boyajian's Star, aka WTF-0001, aka the Weirdest star in the galaxy). This is not yet the full data set, which lives at Penn State, it's some test on-target/off-target observations that we're checking out.You might also notice another change.

We saw those earlier in the week and were anticipating crunching them. Roughly 30% longer to crunch than a BLC03. We are all interested in seeing how they pan out.

I'm pretty sure it's a bug in the client. I've seen it with other projects too. Haven't debugged it more than that yet, doesn't seem to break anything. I'm pretty sure it's a bug in the client.

That error is pretty weird. Why would it send part of a notice when getting a work_unit. I'll check the server logs to see if these "headers" are actually being received. Are downloads completing properly? ID: 1888533 ·

Message 1888534 - Posted: 8 Sep 2017, 4:11:45 UTC - in response to Message 1888438. Is the double size the new standard then?



Double size is the new standard for both Arecibo and GBT (and eventually Parkes). Unless UC complains about the extra traffic. I don't think they'll even notice it. @SETIEric

It shouldn't be. The non-L-band workunits at GBT are a bit messier (astronomy pun) than the L-band, but most of them should run to completion. @SETIEric

There seems to be a small spattering of these noisy work units that complete within a few second and longer work units that seem to go the normal amount of time. I'm trying to see how many so far but hard to go thru all validated work



Edit..



Looks like March 04, 2008 data set also producing noisy short work units. If you just eyeball the validated results and see short run time without looking at the actual work unit name, it would be easy to confuse the 2 different data sets since run times are close.
