Sorry, I'm from Scotland. What is "sun"?

I think that will be `sun microsystems` they do computer stuff ;-)
Today here in Cumbria its been snowing little snowballs and the mountain tops are with with it .

Assume 'validation inconclusive' backlog will be chipped away next?

Assume 'validation inconclusive' backlog will be chipped away next?

Yes, as soon as more results are returned by wingmen until consensus is achieved on the task.

No guarantee that your inconclusive results will be reduced significantly though.

The validators still produce a high amount of inconclusives depending on whether your results are matched against another result from the same type of architecture, OS and hardware.

If your result is paired with another similar host, the better chance your result will not be proclaimed inconclusive. Pairing results from a Windows host against a Linux host or ARM host will produce a higher quantity of inconclusives.

And here was me thinking computers were precise....

Things are looking good! With any luck, we're on the other side of this issue.

Can I sell you some more hamsters?

Sorry, I know you're doing all you can. For god's sake get someone to buy some SSDs. Universe@Home loves their new ones.

SSDs isn't some magic hardware that'll solve the problem here. Not sure why you keep thinking HDDs aren't capable of doing what they've been doing for decades.

Only as precise as the math libraries and host architecture allows.

Because they're far too slow for the amount of data shifted today. They're too slow for a desktop let alone a server with 1000s of users. There's a reason SiDock, Universe, Rosetta, etc, etc, all use them. They all said they're brilliant. Why would you want to wait for a head to physically move from one track to another? It's an absurd amount of time to wait when 300 people want access simultaneously. Have you not seen how long the Milkyway server took to rebuild a disk while trying to cater for users? It was ridiculous.

Here was me thinking computers gave the same answer every time. A 0 or a 1. Humans say "about 15", computers don't.

Oh, OK.
Well, that is also what the project status page says.
No need for a very dark unreadable "picture"?
Or am I missing something?

Have you all a nice day ...

The Dark unreadable picture if you look closely shows history and trends so it has lots of value

Not sure why anyone would call that dark or unreadable. Candle powered monitors?

Here's my current status:

State: All (739) · In progress (0) · Validation pending (0) · Validation inconclusive (723) · Valid (5) · Invalid (0) · Error (11)
Application: All (739) · Milkyway@home N-Body Simulation (659) · Milkyway@home Separation (80)

I suspect a high number will be matched and validated.

I haven't gotten any WUs for almost two hours. Just checking if it is just me. I've been getting a steady stream until now, so just curious.

I got 4 tasks about 15 minutes ago for the CPU, but that is all my client requested

Just got some now(You'll need to convert Sydney time):

SSD wouldn't have made that much of a difference during the rebuilding process. Tom took the project offline and it finished in around 12 hours. Now the spinners are handing things just fine. There is more to validating tasks besides just moving data around and the HDD array isn't the bottleneck.

Oh, OK.
Well, that is also what the project status page says.

Would you prefer searing white?

It's not just you. I had Separation tasks for most of the day but they dried up about an hour ago.

I still haven't gotten any WUs. Thanks Keith for the confirmation.

The status page hasn't updated in a while either.

Sorry Tom, you might need to perform some more percussive maintenance.

Really? I guess its easier to fulfil smaller work requests

I am also seeing database corruption. I am now seeing timed out tasks that I never had received on any of my hosts during the server disk failure disruption.
