WTC days are UTC days, therefore the mid-day stats start minutes after 12:00:00 UTC For me in Mexico, the mid-day results is at 7am (which is the same as US Central Time). knreed & team, lots of luck with the cloud migration. CJSL Gotta keep crunching, there's a world to save !!! |

WTC days are UTC days, therefore the mid-day stats start minutes after 12:00:00 UTC and last... I don't know precisely, I care about the night stats only.  If you consider being ready before 12:00:00 UTC on the 15th you should be safe. I let you apply your local UTC offset yourself, you certainly know it better than me. The lunchtime update is at midnight here in New Zealand  |

One urgent issue - the super-short FAAH 1 (VINA) work units, which run for only 2-3min on my machines: These are the ones that have names that do NOT include the sub-string "Rigid". *** I strongly suggest that no more of these short WUs be sent out until after the changeover *** and that any members with large numbers of them in their work caches as mid-day UTC approaches abort them in time to download longer WUs. I got over 100 units yesterday and they were all Rigid so I'm guessing they have made the change |

This is going to work badly ...
----------------------------------------I got quite a few super-short non-Rigid FAAH resends, due date 18/5/17. I've run them all, and now the estimated run-times for all other WUs on 2 machines are way over-inflated - 13+h on one machine and 18+h on the other - when they actually take under about 40min to run. So I won't be able to download enough work for a 2-day outage. Callisto-L World Community Grid 15/05/2017 9:01:40 PM Tasks won't finish in time: BOINC runs 100.0%% of the time; computation is enabled 100.0%% of that Has 164 WU ready to start, for 8 cores - about 14 hours'worth. BOINC client thinks it has 98d for the 8 cores. Duh. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Rickjb at May 15, 2017 11:07:53 AM] |

So I won't be able to download enough work for a 2-day outage. Same here, but perhaps for more generic reasons. I had my cache parameter set for Five days the last week. I checked yesterday (Sunday-USA) morning. No difference in caching compared to my usual setting of Zero days, which actually caches for One day ahead. So, I set my caching back to Zero days, and I'm just not going to worry about a slight, one-time inefficiency. Besides, 48 hrs is only their estimate. It could be anytime from 12 to 72 hours, but more likely than not they will finish early. I'm guessing sometime Tuesday. In the meantime, SpaceX is suppose to launch a Rocket today. Go watch That! |

How did you try to set your cache, on WCG site or directly in the client?

The Forum and website appear to be back

Ok - quick update for everyone.
----------------------------------------First - if you see this message, then our IP address change has reached you and you are now seeing the website at our new home. Welcome! Second - we have copied the filesystems that you get files from and upload results to. As a result, we have been able to allow you to start uploading your completed result files to our servers. We have experience two issues so far that might have impacted our users: 1) Connections of any sort into the environment were very slow. We had a limit on our load balancer set too low. This would have caused backoffs when uploading files or it would have made the website seem painfully slow. We have fixed this. 2) The permissions for the download directory were not set correctly. This caused downloads to fail. This shouldn't affect too many people since we had stopped issuing new work several hours before anyone could have downloaded from the new servers. We are fixing this now and it will be fixed before we start sending out work. Overall things are going very smoothly and we are happy with the progress. We will update you further as we are able to start things up in the new environment. [Edit 1 times, last edit by knreed at May 15, 2017 8:33:57 PM] |

Just a quick FYI. The status pages for completed work units are not showing any cpu or elapsed times, even if the work unit is marked valid.

I've actually visited the IBM cloud datacenter in RTP, it's very very impressive. I've been working closely with IBM on moving our companies SAP Financial systems to IBM cloud for the past year or so. RTP being the primary and Boulder as the DR site. Of course you may not be in either of these, but I think it's a good move overall regardless.
