Perhaps it's worthy of a front page announcement like "The project is on holidays until (date). Please come back after the break"

No holidays allowed if i'm concerned... i need some milkyways now !

Or failing that at least some information on when we might be getting some wu's

I've got 1 WU :-)
But more wold be nice ;)

come on you guys talk to the people who give their cpu time free, for nothing, and that is what we are getting NOTHING, NO WU, NO COMUNICATION NO CONSIDERATION

U Shud read the News ;)
Travis seems work right now on it to fix!

Also take it easy ;)

I've also had a few work units and checked where they came from. They had timed out for another cruncher. With luck, all the ones that were still "In Progress" will be finished.

Nice to see Travis is hard at work fixing the problem. Thanks Travis.

Cheers,

Mike

No WU's in a long time, my 'puter is hungry for WU's.

No WU's in a long time, my 'puter is hungry for WU's.

Front page says they are down, they know it and are working on it.

Status page says the Transitioner backlog is 38 years! Don't you love automated scripts!

Thanks for letting us know you're working on it. A daily update would be nice so we know you haven't thrown the hands up. Even a little tech detail here and there, you never know someone out here just might have run into the same bug.

Thanks

Gary

I've gotten 6 successful WU's, and 5 WU's that have errored out. Just stopped one now that was going on 11+ minutes. The ones that succeed ran about 200 seconds shorter than the last batch...

Yes, WU's are available again :)

Results ready to send: 509

Shan't we run short again soon ? :(

the assimilator generates WUs to send dynamically, so they're as up to date as possible. when the number of WUs in the queue drops below 200 (i think) it will generate more.

WUs are coming through but a bit slowly. But it is Sunday and we expect a bit of trouble at the weekend

Back to no work here too.

The assimilator has a back log again but work does come through eventually just not on demand

There is nothing more annoying then seeing a quad core machine sitting idle waiting for work...not to mention the thermal variances that it undergoes between running at full load and running at idle...I know there are complexities of the projects computer servers that I don't know about and that their system has to handle the load of many users, but is it really that difficult to supply a steady stream of work...of course barring any major system meltdowns as they happen and are usually unforeseen.

I have caught my computer in idle no less then a dozen times in the last 24 hours as it waits for the project server to send out a new batch of work (20 WU's) that lasts less then 25 mins on this machine.

There is nothing more annoying than to see people complain about this kind of thing when there is a score of worthy projects with regular work that can be used as a backup......the good of the project outweighs the good of the user.

I agree. My two favorite projects rarely have work, but my CPUs never get cold.

edit: The thing that really irks me is when a project sends out "make work". My computers could be running more important work with another project.

BOINC WIKI

BOINCing since 2002/12/8

The no new task message seems to be being sent when the server status states there is between 288 and 310 tasks available. It may be a coincidence but when Travis removed the 600 wus there were 288 available on the status board.
