We are waiting on two more servers to regain access to the network, at which point we will be restarting the scheduler, transitioner, assimilators and validators. All deadlines for outstanding MCM1 work units have been extended to just after 6:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on January 15th, 2025. Web site is up; stats will be updated soon. Forums are up.

Update: Now getting 100 percent CPU Utilization on both CPU’s, which is 10 and 16 concurrent tasks respectively, but still no GPU WU’s. ID: 115203 · Reply Quote

We are downloding processed work units and sending out new ones, and they have the right deadlines (after the initial glitch with the time). We have noticed 92,194 results that ended up in an error state. We saved all these in a file so we can repair this issue. We'll be able to rescue these, especially since there is no file deleter or db purge daemon running for now, so all data related to these workunits is still on the filesystem. We will continue to monitor the system to make sure it is stable. We are also working on getting MAM project into beta. Thank you all for continuing to support research. Happy new year.

First time in 2025. Edit: It's back. Seems to have been a short glitch, or perhaps they shut something down, to do some quick maintenance. ID: 115242 · Reply Quote

Last modified: 25 Jan 2025, 5:42:47 UTC Upload speed also limited by my bored band rather than project servers. My ISP provides very high Internet speeds. Verizon FiOS. In November, speeds for ARP1 were so slow I could get them from looking at the Transfers tab. Now they are so fast the never appear there long enough to see there are any. So here are all the uploads from one task as it finished. They seem to go up pretty fast. About a minute and 6 seconds to send them all up.

Grumpy Swede Send message Joined: 30 Mar 20 Posts: 450	Message 115333 - Posted: 1 Feb 2025, 22:15:13 UTC The BOINC part of WCG is currently screwed up. Uploading tasks works, but reporting and getting new work is borked. The reason for that is: "Server can't open database" error, project backoff 1 hour I guess that will not be fixed, until Monday at the earliest. ID: 115333 · Reply Quote

Well, that was a huge surprise that they fixed it during the weekend. It started with people getting the ""Server can't open database" message from BOINC, which later became the " Feeder not running" message. That was a clue, that someone was doing something with the servers. ID: 115342 · Reply Quote
