Cyclops, if you guys can fix this stuff, alot of people will be happy around here. . I would love to see the "My Contribution" tab back in working order.

Yes, they’re struggling - we know they’re struggling and have been since IBM walked away and left them to it but to call the biggest step forward they’ve made a “slap in the face” is, IMHO, out of order.

We are getting work which is what people have been calling for, niceties like statistics come way down the list.

It is self evident that this was not a transfer of software and operating environment, it is also impossible to plan bug fixes before the bugs have been found.

We could have wished that things were otherwise, that IBM had handed over hardware and software as a working system maybe or that all of the IBM employees involved had transferred en-mass so that the knowledge was retained but this was not to be so please, do not bemoan what should have been but accept what is - I for one am thankful that we have a system and it is getting to the point where it’s usable. Can we start from there and move forwards?

I guess it must be because it's Saturday morning in the states but for the first time since the move I have my hreadripper running nearly flat out and i keep more downloads for open(no gpu) that are in ready status. If y'all can ever get your choke point in the network fixed we'll be good. I know some folks are worried about their stats. I'm more worried about the results will they be valid that the researchers can use them?

Keep up the work.

So what are you saying?

You do know that Krembil is part of the group that SHARCNET is working for?

The Krembil Research Institute, formerly known as the Toronto Western Research Institute, is an academic medical research institute in Toronto. It is one of the largest research institutes in Canada focusing on human neurological disease.

Krembil is one of the principal research institutes of the University Health Network and is the research institute of the Toronto Western Hospital.

I'm agreeing with Jake1402 that the team running WCG at Krembil is totally separate from the SHARCNET team that run the data centre. Whether SHARCNET is an independent commercial organisation or (as is the case) part of the same group will make very little difference to the working relationship between the teams. All they can do is hand over details of what they want, flag up issues but then they have to wait for the team responsible for the data centre to do what is needed - and the SHARCNET team will be looking after services for many other teams/projects some of which will be higher priority than WCG.

It's possible that the WCG system and network demands have impacted on other systems that were working perfectly fine before WCG came on the scene, in which case SHARCNET's first priority will be to get them working properly which would have a detrimental impact on WCG.
