MW has been running smooth now for nearing on a week now. Is it stable enough for the few days of double credit to make up for the lost credit during the outrage?

You have already credits enough...:-)


I asked it Travis a few moments ago in his own thread he posted to us as a little payback.

With no official feedback was it just a hollow promise?

I'd rather wait till the next app release with integrated likelihood calculation on the gpu. That might shave off 5 sec. or so... ;)

I'm just happy to support the project and see what we see. Any plusses are always welcome.

TGG it's Holy Week and not everyone is working every day this week. Please have some patience and I'll try to get an answer by next week when I come back from Suz's surgery.

So holy week is over, the app has been updated, the server has been moved (over the holy weekend) and now it's time for the double credit!?

Or was it really just hollow promises to keep the masses appeased?

oh, gas, you missed the chance to say, "...and now it's time for the [holy] double credit!?" I apologize, I cannot help meself with this kind of holy humor.

besides, I doubt they have a problem with the double credit thing given how many times they have had accidental double credit, that some might suggest could have been holy credit.

oooops, sorry.

It isn't like the credits are going to go anywhere. When has anything happened on time at MW? Without a opti computer app first I won't run for double credits anyway. It still won't equal the credits/hour with the old opti app.
Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected?
If it makes sense, DON'T do it.

We will see what we see, and get what we get.

Sadly apparently not. Everyone will have to make a personal decision, are you here for the credit or the science.

I don't understand the rush for double credit. The admins clearly stated that they will do when the right time comes and considering the amount of credits lost during the outage, it is not a big deal.

Come on people...What is the deal with 1M, 2M or 3M... it is just one or two days...

So just keep being attached to the project and crunch:)

Working on it, TGG....I just came back today and am catching up. Admins have been contacted and I'm waiting for an update. Please be patient.

We're gonna be doing the double credit, don't worry. I've just been having a bit of trouble getting the credit calculations correct for the n-body simulation code. Once that is functional (I'll be testing it live this week), then we'll do double credit.

We also wanted to give people time to have their GPU applications up and running, and to get all that debugged. But it looks like that's going well, so really it's just up to me getting the n-body simulation assimilator up and running again and calculating credit correctly.

Thanks for the reply Travis. It'll give me time to get me 5970 operational again...
