Same here separation_assimilator is not running.

Greetings from,

Maybe they are reconfiguring the separation_assimilator for the (new) ps_separation tasks?

Maybe it needs a kick :)

There was a hard-drive failure last night. Everything should be fine now

HI: My computer time out on a task and I don't know what to do now. I have no new tasks to perform... just kinda lost, I suppose. If anyone can lead me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.
Here's the message about the timed out task...(a pile of gibberish - I freely admit to being a technodolt).

I can be reached at john@taxinews.com

Thanks.

Been like this for the last 2 hours .
Server appears to have tasks for the CPU
Is there an ETA for GPU Tasks?

OWN every thing I need
EARN.. enough to live !!!
WANT a solar array on the roof so I can run a BOINC farm( DREAM on!!)
NO wife
NO kids
NO troubles

I had zere WU's today. And I am in a cheaper power rate at weekends.

No, it's not:

Why did you quote a message that's over a month old?

Why did you quote a message that's over a month old?

ups, my fault!

I hadn't watched at the date, sry.

So I don't see any info on the boards on when ATI GPU workunits will be available. The last time I got a WU from Milkyway was over a week ago. I realize there were outages a week ago but apparently the CPU folks are getting WUs since then.

Can anyone involved with this project give us some info on when GPU WUs will again be available?

Thanks

The last time I got a WU from Milkyway was over a week ago.

Than there was a problem at your end, the last WU I got was 31 Jul 2011 8:29:22 UTC, so little more than 3 days ago.

Nevermind about not getting ATI GPU WUs...

I just looked into my MW account tasks and see I did finish a few (although normally this would be many more per day). The ones that are finished aren't being validated. Some say "Awaiting Validation" and some say "Validation Inconclusive". So then checking server status, I see no WUs available and none being validated. So something is down again.

So apparently, no one is getting WUs.

So I guess a better question would have been "How long is Milkyway going to keep going down?" Seems like a lot of problems lately.

Can someone from MW staff let us know what's going on since the news on outages seems to be from a while back.

I see that new ATI GPU WUs started coming in this morning. So thanks to MW staff for making this happen.

I have both an NVIDIA and ATI card in my system and had just decided a couple of weeks ago to make MW my highest ATI priority. I discontinued DNET and Primegrid and lowered the Collatz priority below MW because I wanted an American project that was more science than math for my GPUs.

Then all the issues hit full force at MW. My RAC was suffering and I had only Collatz to keep my numbers up. Hopefully MW will continue to provide WUs for a while longer than the last time. I'd like to keep it the main GPU project but need it to stay fairly reliable as points are as important to me as the science.

Locking this as GPU work is flowing.
