Have a good holiday Boca Raton Community HS,
I'm glad the students are enjoying learning about distributed computing. New hardware is very exciting. Do the students put the hardware together? My kids built their own machines once they were teens. Have a good two weeks off. As much as I hope there are big changes at WCG, when you return, I want the IT team to have a good holiday even more. |

STATS
----------------------------------------I've opened WCG this morning to find that my stats have doubled overnight - all projects, including completed ones - has anyone else had the same Christmas bonus granted?  |

Unixchick,
This year is a mix- students are building one system and we have some new Dell hardware that will be implemented. I would love to explain what they are putting together this year, but I can't make it past the "forbidden" when I try to make the post... I will follow up soon. |

Thanks Boca RCHS,
the forbidden "feature" is getting annoying. I'm sure it is a fun class that the kids enjoy. I'm so old this stuff wasn't a class yet, but something we did with the science teacher during lunch. JSYKES - congrats on your new temporary badges. Enjoy them while you have them. It looks like the WUprop site is down, thus the image in the first post isn't working. Anyone have some info on WUprop? |

It looks like the WUprop site is down, thus the image in the first post isn't working. Anyone have some info on WUprop? @Unixchick From: https://boinc.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=15504&postid=117818#117818 WuProp has completely disappeared from the Internet about 10 hours ago. This site can’t be reached wuprop.boinc-af.org’s server IP address could not be found. Try: Checking the connection ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED It looks like they forgot to renew the web site registration on time according to Domaintools: 7,307 days old Created on 2005-12-17 Expires on 2025-12-17 Updated on 2025-12-19 Updated Date: 2025-12-19T04:43:47Z Creation Date: 2005-12-17T17:34:57Z Registrar Registration Expiration Date: 2025-12-17T18:37:54+01:00 The main website registration still points to the correct address 51.178.133.229. |

I'm sure it is a fun class that the kids enjoy. I'm so old this stuff wasn't a class yet, but something we did with the science teacher during lunch. I am actually a biology teacher and it is an advanced biology class. We focus on the science (specifically biology and some environmental science/astro) of the WCG research but I integrate a little bit of computer science into it. In reality, much of biology is now computational so I think it has been a good way to bring the worlds together. So many of these students in my classes are going to be using computational tools/AI/machine learning in their future careers that learning responsible use is of the utmost importance. Part of the required biology curricula for the classes is the introduction of computational biology (tools such as BLAST, scientific databases, etc) and distributed computing really is a great application to both databases and computational biology. Just telling the students that "BLAST is a great tool to look up genes" is about as boring as it can get. Telling students that "there are lots of databases with biologic/scientific data" is just not helpful to them. I want them to help contribute to what is known while learning what is required in the curricula at the same time. The actual building of a new system happens at lunch or before/after school due to time constraints- so that has not changed since you were in the classroom! |

I added entry to host file and now working for BOINC and website. 51.178.133.229 wuprop.boinc-af.org Who operates wuprop? I am tempted to add this to my host file as iI did with Rosetta but I know the university of Washington runs that project. I do have wuprop WUs stuck trying to upload. Isn't there security concerns adding IPs to your host file?  |

I see we had yet more groups of download errors at the usual sorts of time yesterday and today, but this time there seems to be a difference... None of my download errors spawned a retry either yesterday or today -- the same was not the case for errors on the 17th or earlier.
I also noticed something similar when checking results for that blizzard of MAM1 Beta tasks (where some of my wingmen did have errors of various sorts) -- nothing that failed got a retry! I could perhaps understand something being done to block retries for a Beta test, but not for MCM1... Is anyone getting MCM1 retries at the moment, and if so I wonder if they are only in response to No Reply events (which don't involve the scheduler or an upload event!) On a different note, I haven't seen any MCM1 assimilations for over 40 hours now, and most returned work is going into PVal jail (seemingly on a division between how far back the first task for the WU got issued). After a period where the backlog seemed to be diminishing (albeit slowly), it's building up again. I realize that this is probably connected to the need for the secondary validation checks mentioned in the last Operational Status update, but... Hopefully, the above is all related to something deliberately done to allow some major cleaning up that won't show up in the BOINC database at once  Cheers - Al. P.S. I won't discuss the projections for backlog resolution based on my results and those of my wingmen -- the numbers are far too depressing  |
