Migrating MilkyWay@home to a New Server
(Message 76619)
Posted 16 Nov 2023 by Yavanius Post: I don't see anything (official) on website where the correct URL is. It appears Kevin needs to let Willy @ BAM! know what the correct URL is because it's not pointing to it. I posted to the thread in the number crunching but apparently that info hasn't been relayed over... |

Thread to report issues after server migration
(Message 76617)
Posted 16 Nov 2023 by Yavanius Post: I'm on WIndows 10 with latest BOINC client and can't get any work. Nbody was checked on both main and work preferences. The only thing not checked was run other applications on work. I checked it, saved it and tried it again... First try, I had a moment and smacked myself for not turning work fetch on... Second try client requested work, but didn't get any: [11/15/23 7:26:44 PM | Milkyway@home | [sched_op] CPU work request: 34560.00 seconds; 1.00 devices 11/15/23 7:26:47 PM | | Project communication failed: attempting access to reference site 11/15/23 7:26:47 PM | Milkyway@home | Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks 11/15/23 7:26:47 PM | Milkyway@home | [sched_op] Server version 721 11/15/23 7:26:47 PM | Milkyway@home | This project seems to have changed its URL.

It did an auto-try a couple mins later and failed to get any work again. |

I'm on a laptop and I don't like to run GPU tasks until it's get colder irregardless. :) Been a little whiles since I ran MilkyWay, not runnng WCG full-time anymore so I've been bouncing between Einstein and Asteroids. Saw the server migration and thought I start running some Milky again too... ~Yav |

Posted 11 Nov 2023 by Yavanius Post: I'm on WIndows 10 with latest BOINC client and can't get any work. I'm using BAM so it still is pointed to the HTTPS site instead of the HTTP site I keep messages to point to.

Posted 10 Feb 2018 by Yavanius Post: Went searching for an answer to this, but couldn't find an answer: Why is the N-Body credit such a pittance with double digit credit even when run time is the same as the regular WU? |

Posted 10 Feb 2018 by Yavanius Post: I saw this wu... Seen that a number of times. I think it's an ongoing bug they are battling. If you don't want to babysit, turn N-body off. Pretty annoying to come home and realize your computer been spinning its wheels on a WU since last night... |

Posted 10 Feb 2018 by Yavanius Post: Because the database clears results from the BOINC server after so many days else you'd start to get huge performance degradation. Typically, the more active a project, the shorter the period. The alternative is investing in really expensive corporate enterprise servers... |

BOINC transitioning to a Community Based Governance
(Message 63796)
Posted 12 Jul 2015 by Yavanius Post: BOINC transitioning to a Community Based Governance... http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=10370 David Anderson wrote: BOINC's funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation has ended, at least for the time being. This funding supported me, Rom Walton, and Charlie Fenton. We're now working on other things, although we'll stay involved in BOINC at some level. The BOINC project will continue, and will be run according to a community-based model rather than centrally. In essence, the people who contribute to BOINC now make the decisions about it. This model is summarized here: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/ProjectGovernance and described in detail here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1C6pU5RqidYBxk9oyAevm1yH1tn4Hw27oM8YpvsnR-gg There will probably be little visible change. The BOINC software will continue to work. The translation system, Alpha testing project, BOINC web site,message boards, and email lists will continue to operate. However, any new development and major bug fixes to BOINC will need to be done by volunteer programmers. I'm confident that the BOINC community will meet the challenge. I welcome your feedback. Please post it to boinc_admin@googlegroups.com, a new email list for discussions about the BOINC project as a whole. -- David |
