Get better soon Travis


Perhaps some more new searches need to be started to get everyone some work? As of now it few and far between getting anything.

the assimilator should be generating them... i'm not sure why it's taken so long for everyone to start getting work.

I think we're good now. It was just having trouble filling the bucket faster than it was being drained.

First WUs are arrivig on my comps@home! YAY! :-)
Although my lappy is still ignored by now. *grin*

PS. I guess all the boxes attached to Milkyway are so busy fetching work that the WUs are gone before the server status can show them as results to send. *biiiig grin*

the reason we can't have more than 20 WUs at a time (and even this is too many) has been discussed on here many times. it's even in the known issues section. what we're doing is dynamically updating a genetic search based on the results you guys return. if we feed out more than 20 workunits (even this is too many) by the time you finish crunching them, the population has moved so far away from where those points were generated that the work you've done on them is basically useless. ideally i'd really like to have the number somewhere around 5-10.

when we update the server code, you should be able to download new workunits as soon as you finish with your previous ones. if you're just complaining about wanting more WUs out there in the case when the server crashes... i don't think theres anything we can do about that as the workunits need to be dynamically generated as new ones come in.

that being said, we definitely are trying to increase the time per workunit. the model will be updated, and we'll be doing it across multiple streams of stars - you just need to be patient with us here. this is science in progress and Nate is working on how exactly to do that. also, i'm working on incorporating doing a line search into a workunit (which should increase the computation time by a factor of 10-50) or more) -- but that's maybe a week or two away because that'll take a bit of bug fixing. i'm hoping to have that in the next version of the application.


This means, stars are evolving by talking from WU to WU, as, for instance, Cori does.
So, Cori evolves to be a star <3

I've set "Connect about every 0.01 days" and "Additional work buffer 0.05 days" in order to get just few WU's at a time.

*LOL* I think the server survives my posts. Well at least most of the times. :-P
But now go and hide before it's too late...

part of the problem might be that i'm running db_purge right now -- as we have about 600,000 WU results in the database, which makes everything a bit slow. once it finishes things will probably be more available.

There's a "one day crunch contest" going on at PrimeGrid, several SETI.USA members are participating in it so that may help reduce the load here for a day while you're cleaning up the db.
