Okay, I think I pinpointed the issue. I think we have too few workunits preloaded into shared memory. The workunits are unsent and available in the database, but they're never being pulled into memory for the scheduler to assign.

Working on a fix.

Best,

Jake

Vortac and wb8ili,

Is this the case for every request? What is the most workunits you have received from a request? Our current configuration settings allow for 600 download per request so I'm trying to pinpoint where this error is occurring.

Hey Bill,

We are running Server 1.0.4. Do you know what version of the server was supposed to solve this issue?

Hey Vortac,

Sorry to hear that you can't get enough work. I'll think about increasing the number of workunits we cache on the server. We have considerably more resources on the server now so that shouldn't be an issue anymore.

Hey Bill,

To address the issues you have pointed out. The banner is probably going to remain the way it is for a while. Unfortunately, it is not within our time or monetary budget to make or have a new banner made right now. One of our users has graciously started working on something for us, but I don't want to pressure them into anything.

The database error for uncached team pages is fixed now.

I'm not seeing the duplicate team issue you are describing. If you want to describe it in a little more detail (what pages you see it and how to reproduce the issue) I'll gladly work on it.

Best,
Jake

Hey Everyone,

I implemented a fix to the BOINC stats exporting. This can take up to 24 hours to propagate through so I'll check on it tomorrow.

Hey bluestang,

Thank you so much! Unfortunately, I can't use the banner image you provided because RPI requires us to have the Rensselaer logo on the banner. When you get the new one made up, I'll take a look at it and run it by Heidi. If she approves, it will become the new banner.

I really appreciate it.

Best,

Jake

Hey eeeeee,

Thanks for catching that. I'll take a look and see why it's still putting the local DNS name in instead of milkyway.cs.rpi.edu.

Hey Everyone,

New workunits should properly award 227.157 credits instead of 133.622 credits. You may still see a few award 133.622 credits for a little while, but these workunits will filter out over time until eventually all reward the correct 227.157 credits.

Hey Link,

Going forward, we are planning a new N-body release for next week. This release will not include a MT version as we have decided it does not make sense for our project anymore. I will be working on fixing the preference options, but it might take me a little while as I work through several other issues.

Hey Everyone,

I fixed the low credit on the new workunits. They will properly reward 227.157 credits from now as they filter into the queue. There is no name change for these workunits, just the newly generated ones will reward the correct credit.

As for the download issues, I am still a bit stumped.

Best,

Jake

Hi Mmonnin,

Yes, that is something on my list to fix for tomorrow. I missed a flag when I started up the run so it is running a different model than its supposed to be. The different model is theoretically less computations than the new model so the credit is lower. In practice, that may not be the case. Regardless, it's an easy fix, but one I will do tomorrow.

Best,

Jake

Hmm, alright Marcus. I'm going to take the night to think about it and try to come up with a solution in the morning.

Have a good night,
