I had a quick look at some random hosts at Private GFN Server, and they show the following FFT lengths in current workunits: "LLR2 testing" .......... 120K --> 0.94 MB cache footprint "PRST Testing" ..... 2x288K --> 4.5 MB cache footprint? "Sandbox 2" ............ 2x36...

Since Sat Nov 18 at the latest, circa Wed Nov 15 at the earliest, "Fetch all feeds manually" takes no time but immediately returns with "No (new) items to fetch", which seems suspicious.

I would expect Private GFN Server to pull more power than Universe@Home. One possible reason could be a cache bottleneck at Private GFN Server. I had a quick look at some random hosts at Private GFN Server, and they show the following FFT lengths in current workunits: "LLR2 testing" .........

When it was stuck, and I 'unstuck' it and triggered a run, that run often created several news posts which we already had. (And I used to delete those one by one then.)

The feed post bot has been hanging again since yesterday. It didn't make it through the Rosetta feed (but does now). As feeds can fail in multiple ways, perhaps the bot still chokes on some particular failure modes but not all. Or perhaps there is a difference between manual fetch by an admin and au...

Meanwhile, petri33 of GPU Users Group has been looking into improving the (Nvidia?) GPU app, which is less efficient as the CPU app. Last news from end of August was that he's still working on it.

Our feed bot missed this due to its downtime preceding LODA's current downtime. I am posting a copy of the news item which I found at SG's news blog . Dear Contributors, we would like to inform you about a longer maintenance period of the LODA project starting mid of November 2023, which will affect...

Upgraded the feed post bot from 1.0.11 to 1.0.14. Hopefully it doesn't get hung up like the older version did. W00t! As a test, I re-eanbled the LODA feed which does not respond right now, and the bot does indeed make it through the entire list of feeds now, with just a little delay due to the one ...

The project isn't stopped, only Natalia Makarova considers it stopped. (She also considers herself to own the project, although she does not own, control, or fund the project server.) Earlier she demanded that a certain batch of workunits shall be reloaded, used harsh language and accusations, and a...

The pencil button to edit a post gets me to a window in which the post appears with broken formatting and without the ability to actually edit it. Clicking [Preview] there shows an empty post.

There is a new issue, perhaps because of the site migration: "Feed processing has started but not completed and therefore cannot start again. If this persists you can release the process by clicking this button: [Submit]" --> Clicking [Submit] clears this state, as before. But: "Fetch...

Bump. I nudged our bot to fetch this news just today.

Min and the CPDN teams have designed weather@home East Asia experiments at 25 km resolution. weather@home = work for Windows hosts According to the "New work discussion - 2" thread at the CPDN message board, there is currently an issue with high failure rate of the w@h application under i...

Bump.

(Dummy post. The feed post bot hung, and when I restarted it, it fetched this news but board members won't get an 'unread' notification due to the post's relative age.)

Thumbs up to Eric Driver.

The only reason for doing this is to keep the WUs consistent for the BOINC Pentathlon

One other admin could certainly have done the same, but did not, for whatever reason.
Edit half a day later: Or maybe he did after all.

The "click here" link reveals the secret how this was made possible with respect to PrimeGrid's server capacity: Note that we are NOT yet doing fast DC on GFN-15, Translation: Different from the bigger GFN subprojects, GFN-15 is not using the combination of normal "main tasks" an...

We are excited to share an update from the Smash Childhood Cancer team about the start of the new phase in their quest for curing cancer. The new target protein is MyoD1 (Myogenic Differentiation 1 protein) and one of its mutations, L122R. MyoD1 is a transcription factor that activates muscle-speci...

In short, ARP was suspended in January but is supposed to be resumed eventually. [Storage quota already exceeded, and data archival to tapes taking time and care] has now all been solved so there is room for continued activity by volunteers in the African Rainfall Project. We now have about 265 days...

See the other recent CPDN related threads in this News section: They are turning to models with much shorter task durations, but with big memory footprint and huge result files. Currently this is Linux only. Longer term they want to offer OS independent vboxwrapper based versions of this. (I.e., wit...

So far they emitted only about 7000 tasks, which are all assigned to hosts already (IOW, 0 tasks ready to send) and of which 1/3rd has already been completed. Their feeble upload server should survive such a small batch easily. But the announcement sounds like a bigger batch than that.

Whoa, about 1/3rd (edit: certainly less than half) of the task duration of the current oifs_43r3_ps batches, but almost the same result data size per task to upload? I should probably check their message board for whether they a) fixed their upload server¹, b) tripled its data throughput or added tw...

On January 19, the upload server filled its disk again. This time the reason is that the tape drive system went down, to which data were streamed off of the upload server. To make matters worse, when the tape drive system will be back up, for some unstated reason, it won't have enough space for the ...

Update from CPDN meeting 16/1/23 Upload http connections will be increased over the next 2 days back to the previous maximum of 300 simultaneous connections as most of the previous uploaded data has now been moved off. The 'grace period' for return of tasks has been changed from 'nothing' to 30 day...

The upload server outage continues — sort of — for another few days. And yes, the server remains seriously undersized. Hello All, Brief update on status. The upload server is back running and we are currently in the process of transferring ~24TB of built up project results from that system to the an...

I realize that the server has to catch up, but as poor as its performance is now, this will take a long while or may even never recover entirely. That's just my own pessimistic opinion, not fact, based on seeing server availability going down (and finally vanishing entirely) during the few hours ye...

It's not. xii5ku could upload some bits a few hours ago, but now 100% of the transfer attempts fail. parsnip could upload, but has an increasing rate of failed transfers too now and therefore shut everything off again (due to disk space constraints). I realize that the server has to catch up, but as...
