Hm, but my BOINC manager still thinks the MW server is down and doesn't want to report my WUs from last night...
Same here....and the clock's tickin'....!!

Hello! Sorry for the difficulties! We had a massive Database crash last night, and we are almost done picking up the pieces. The database was only restored this morning at 5am.
It appears as though the database corrupted itself, and then failed in a spectacular fashion. We'll see what we can do about the missing credit.
Cheers,
Matthew Newby
Thank God!! You're all alive and well - we were getting worried here for a minute!!

Just looked - got a sack of wus, which were validated & credited yesterday, now showing:
156701912 152986469 1 Nov 2009 5:07:58 UTC 1 Nov 2009 8:11:20 UTC Completed, marked as invalid 1,394.95 6.13 0.00
These are obvious errors caused by the apparent DB crash ( NO ONE ACTUALLY KNOWS IF THERE WAS A DB CRASH, OR IF SOMEONE WAS MAYBE PLAYING FOOTBALL WITH THE SERVER, SINCE THERE HAS BEEN NO NEWS FROM THE ADMINISTRATION !! )
Yo, TRAVIS!! You there? Why no communication about these problems from your crowd?
P.S. Most of my WUs for 1/11 are tagged invalid, and ALL my WUs for 2/11 are missing!!

Some wus just arrived - most failed the download. And now I'm missing 2K+ credits!! Duhh??

The server's down...is this for programmed maintenance ( no news brief ) or does it need the baseball bat?

Getting messages here that MW can't open the database and failed attempts. WUs draining on the server and backlog of results waiting to be assemilated.
Welcome to the weekend....
You beat me to it!!

Hey, Cappy!
Just to say that you've got good taste in sig. graphics & I still can't get my GXT260 to run with the 190.xx drivers - so nothing apart from GPUGrid for me - PG on CPU while Travis is trying to figure out what's goin' on!!
;^).

The only thing that gets me a little riled up, is the lack of discussion BEFORE the credit adjustment.
If that is any relief to you, I have discussed with Travis about that reduction. I think it is pure concidence that the reduction is completely compensated by the new ATI version ;)
So what is the result? One can now point every cross project parity fanatic to the credit multiplier matching the equivalent value of SETI by saying MW gets high credits on ATIs just because they are so much faster! Furthermore nothing has changed to the worse here, quite to the contrary. The app is now delivering better results even faster than before.
Yeah, OK CP - I get your point. Only thing is: I'm CPU only ATM, and my CUDA card don't like them new Nvidia drivers!! ;^).
Looks like I'm gonna have to stick an ATI card into my old box if I want to benefit from your hard work!!
Cheers,
Chris

Double post - sorry
Posted 1374 days ago by Seejay
And I repeat - SSDD
Just got to look back at all the 100s (1000s?) of forum posts about credit here @ MW. Trav decides that the project is getting too much flak from DA & the other BOINC projects, so he trims the credits by 1/3.
Old story, same conclusion. At the end of the day, as has already been said here, it's impossible to compare one project's credits to another's. Chalk and cheese!
The only thing that gets me a little riled up, is the lack of discussion BEFORE the credit adjustment. As Ice says, he's got personal goals based on this project, and it's US who actually do the crunching - therefore, why doesn't the admin here give us space to express OUR opinions before making important decisions?
I know this has all been talked about many times. It just seems as though it's fallen on deaf ears...
Just my 2 EuroCents....

SSDD :p

SURE not SHORE:p
Looks likely - they seem to be waiting for all results to be returned before turning the work gen. on again.... OTOH, it might just be broken.....

If i take control away from BOINC and babysit my PCs very intensely i can do about 180k credit per day. My actual RAC is about 130k, that means BOINC loses 30% and i still have to babysit. If i let BOINC manage things i hardly believe i could keep half of my RAC.
...they know better how BOINC should operate...Yes, they know it should run half as fast and they do a great job >:D
You all seem to miss the priorities of DA regarding boinc development...
1. eye candy for the message board
2. social networking
3. add more bugs
.
.
.
.
9997. add more eye candy
9998. fix bugs and make boinc a usable tool.
You got THAT right, Crunch3r. Maybe "Self Glorification" should be up near the top of the list as well! ;^).

John, I'm sitting here reading your post and I'm seriously impressed.
Very well presented, and especially, very well explained for us non-astrophysicists.
I was going to ask the same question, more or less, as Emanuel. One presumes that "fitness" means how close the results from the project are with respect to what we see in the sky, as you mention? Basically, how close to the expected results do the actual results have to be to produce significant data?
Cheers
Chris

Yep I've got a few invalid Wu's too, all are 2_2's.

Me too - all CPU - all 2_2s.

Hey, Travis!!
Did you just do a server Reset? I saw that everything apart for the web site went down for a few minutes. I also see that all the work that's come my way this afternoon was all sgr stuff. I also noticed that after the presumed reset, available WUs took a nose-dive!
Results ready to send 2
Any news?
