That is the one nice thing about running longer wu's ie: 10+ hours each... 10 hours? Try Climate CPDN - one of these WUs can keep a PC occupied for weeks. I know, that was the '+'. Don't have to worry about getting work to do. Some of them can take months to do on slower computers. I'm not that determined though, don't need to do all the work and then have a problem and loose it. Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected? If it makes sense, DON'T do it.

Update, SETI is, of course offline for their weekly Tuesday special event, but Einstein and POEM are back in business. However, Milkyway remains WU-less with no comment from Travis -- perhaps he was going to be vacationing in the Bahamas but due the the weather is instead, vacationing in Hartford.... I've attached to 11 projects over time -- two are no longer alive (Climate BBC and the evil Predictor). But for panic mode scenarios this morning: MilkyWay -- no new work SETI -- no new work (and about to go into its weekly 4 hour outage, 16 hour recover from the outage cycle). Einstein -- offline today (they were having database problems yesterday) POEM -- suddenly offline today (I can't get to either the Einstein or POEM homepage, let alone their databases). That reverts me back to four other projects -- Malaria (which tends to be a low yield project), Spinhenge, which has been remarkably steady for me over a long run. Climate - also a long term steady project, Rosetta, which has been ok, and World Grid. Still that's an adequately extensive trouble list to go to PANIC MODE.

I think Milkyway has been a bit more fragile than we users believe it to be and has required regular Travis-attention -- which he's provided to insulate us from the servers twitchiness. So, when he periodically needs to come up for air, we're left at the mercy of the servers fragility - in particular, the server (or server process) which generates work units appears to need a lot of care and feeding. As this project is not over-run with resources, I suppose we really shouldn't be surprised that a period of 'no Travis' means the a likely 'no work' scenario. For me at this point, it simply means other projects are sucking up the cycles. Not a big deal. ID: 7973 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

But they can't seem to analyze their own data. Maybe I'm just picking nits. me@rescam.org ID: 8007 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
