Planned Maintenance - Tuesday, July 7th 15:00 UTC
We will be apply the latest updates to our Linux servers tomorrow. These updates will require a reboot of the servers. As a result we will be having periodic outages of the website and BOINC grid during these updates. It should take about 4 hours to complete the updates.

World Community Grid wins prestigious Coffey Award

We're pleased to let you know that World Community Grid was selected as winner of the 2009 Coffey International Award.

Here are the details of the award. You'll see that Prince Charles presented the award to the top IBM person in Europe.

We thank you for your contribution to making World Community Grid a continued succes.

I knew that the ...

Planned Maintenance - Tuesday, July 7th 15:00 UTC

would cause some stats problems for all Teams at the WCG. Last evening, Team Stats was extremely good for all Teams because of the added points/results just simply 'added up', hence our huge day for crunching stats.

Sometime early yesterday, someone noticed that Team/Individual stats were a tad off. It is probably already fixed. What I really like about the IBM Grid Techs, is that they actually "say it" like it is. They don't make lame excuses:

Re: Stats Update?

bleah - what a day.

The servers are supposed to be set to UTC. Unfortunately some of the update installations appear to cause it to be set to EDT which causes the wrong dates you see. We are fixing it now.

Re: Stats Update?
Yes - it is seriously annoying.

We just kicked off the stats re-run.


'Ya really gotta like IBM.

Team Mates, in just several hours, we shall exceed 162 Million Points Generated. We have also returned 451,000 results over to research. What a heckuva crunching day for us.

Despite Team "Boinc" stats apearing 'way off', it will get fix0red.

K, who let the dogs out? It's crazy that a small, yet very dedicated Team can do as well as we do.

And the reason for that is simple. It's all of you (that makes me post that banner at the very bottom).


Team Mates, we have surpassed 246 Years of Total Runtime and have returned over 452,000 results to research scientists.

Team Mates, there are now 22,855 crunching Teams at the WCG and our Team out-crunched 22,782 of them in Points Generated and outcrunched 22,785 of them in Results Returned. Incredible stats. Just awesome ...

Team Mates, there are now 22,868 crunching Teams at the WCG and our Team out-crunched 22,794 of them in Points Generated and outcrunched 22,796 of them in Results Returned (we were 74th in Points Generated and 72nd in Results Returned).

We raided so many pantries and took so much mead that it could have been illegal. Or did I mean medieval?

In just a few hours, we will have exceeded 163 Million Points Generated.


sevenveils, Major Congratulations on surpassing 20,000 (Boinc points) Total Credit. That is close to/more than 140,000 of the old UD points. I hope that the WCG will convert those UD points to (Boinc points) Total Credit whenever they are able to.
In just a few hours, we will have exceeded 163 Million Points Generated.

'ray, Teamies!!!!!!!!
