Any official news yet of the status of Numberfields? Is it finally gone for good with the server hardware dying and no intention of fixing the project once that has occurred?

Now Einstein - normally one of the most reliable projects - is going the same way. Website is slow as molasses, and server responses to BOINC requests are timing out. ID: 117174 · Reply Quote

Nothing much to run on Boinc these days with either projects ending or server failures or projects that haven't had work to crunch for months or years. ID: 117175 · Reply Quote

Nothing much to run on Boinc these days with either projects ending or server failures or projects that haven't had work to crunch for months or years. CPDN has a couple of thousand tasks that are ready to crunch, so long as you have 4 cores and 26GB RAM free for them. Project is limiting them to one per machine, so to run two at once, you have to go down the container or the VM route. (I have chosen the VM one. Because it is climate science, uploads are quite big too. 46x350MB now they have been reduced. Still a few of the older ones with 700MB zips to upload. ID: 117184 · Reply Quote

Been that way for me for about 4 hours now. Doesn't seem to be affecting my LHC BOINC task upload or download at the moment. ID: 117279 · Reply Quote
