2023-12-22 Update (Holiday update)

Due to the holiday break, forums will not be monitored from this evening until the morning of December 27th. Ahead of this break, here is an update on work unit availability and ongoing technical issues. We have increased the relative throughput and thus availability of MCM1 work units over the holidays by about 20%. All other active projects are on pause until 2024 and we will update volunteers as soon as new work is available from researchers. Intermittently, there will be some SCC1 and OPNG work units sent out over the holidays. The long standing issue identified with the MCM1 assimilators causing a backlog of results pending validation should be resolved by January 3rd, and users should see their results pages begin to return to normal over the coming weeks with respect to MCM1 results.

We wish you all a happy holiday season! Thanks for your continued support of the WCG!

Re: 2023-12-22 Update (Holiday update)

Oh well, Sunday morning of a long weekend and part of the system went down. No Overview/Result pages... sad
Uploading and reporting still seems to work at this point, though can't tell if any WUs are still forthcoming. And can't verify the later due to the Results page being down.

Let's see how the next three days are going, Happy Holidays!... sad

Re: 2023-12-22 Update (Holiday update)

Looks like the Feeders are maybe running a bit short. It has been about 3 1/2 hours since I have gotten any new work units for any machine. Maybe the elves have taken a well deserved break and will resume work in the morning. Soon some will be dry and I will shut down until morning if/when that should happen.

Cheers

Re: 2023-12-22 Update (Holiday update)

I just got a fresh MCM, so I hope you have gotten some too Sgt. Joe. I'm glad they upped the amount of MCM going out, but it still isn't enough for all of us. Hopefully in the next month we will see some of the other projects send out WUs.

Re: 2023-12-22 Update (Holiday update)

There have not been enough MCM WUs since 11/28/2023, probably even since around 11/18/2023, you can see that on the amount of returned results. If the servers can keep up with the demand, there are 1.3-1.4 millions MCM results returned to the project, if it's less, than they can't. I bookmarked that page, it's as close as we can get to a server status page here, does not show the current state, only the past, but better than nothing.

We are here to help them - not the other way round!

If they cannot supply us with enough work at the moment then some of the big farms need to mothball a machine or 2 meanwhile.

ARP is due back soon which should make up for the current shortfall.

Or simply crunch something else, there are many BOINC projects doing real science and which need more computers. I don't have a farm, but moved my computer to Milkyway anyway, they have CPU-only work now.
