I am Jeff Thompson and have been working on and off with MilkyWay@home since 2012, but I have been quiet recently. For the next few months, on Tuesdays, we will be scheduling server maintenance.

17) Message boards : News : New N-Body Runs (Message 61945) Posted 25 Jun 2014 by Jeffery M. Thompson Post: We are trying to see what is up with the runs. The Jakes and Roland are looking at the code. The error rates seem to be spiking and it may be the parameters it are in. I don't have details to post now will post more to follow as I get some more tests in.... UPDATE: Jake Bauer has a fix in works and we are working to get that tested and out. Jeff Thompson
18) Message boards : Number crunching : Special Contribution Badge (Message 61924) Posted 20 Jun 2014 by Jeffery M. Thompson Post: Travis has implemented a version that works with our form of the badges. I am still looking at this implementation. Let us know if it works or not. From Travis, Hi Everyone, Iâ€™ve updated: /boinc/milkyway/html/inc/xml.inc to include /boinc/milkyway/user/display_badges.php and updated the show_user_xml function to also add information about user badges. See: http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/show_user.php?userid=1&format=xml Iâ€™ve also created a script which will export the badges, you can find it in: /boinc/milkyway/html/ops/export_badges.php This will write badges to: /boinc/milkyway/download/badges.xml Once a day, as Iâ€™ve updated the config.xml file to run it daily as a task. ______________________________________________________________________________________ Jeff
19) Message boards : Number crunching : Special Contribution Badge (Message 61843) Posted 6 Jun 2014 by Jeffery M. Thompson Post: No direct timeline. I am organizing some maintenance on the server before I change the server code. Also the way we do badges needs me to change the code of what David Anderson did a bit though I have a plan, I need to test it. So my timeline is within this month but there are other mission critical pieces we are working on. Also most of the coding is trying to get GPU for N-body live. Sorry I know this isn't a direct answer but I want it done also, though I may be able to get the new guy to do bits of it ;). So I am hoping for this month but I can't write it in stone. Jeff
20) Message boards : News : New N-body Runs (Message 61746) Posted 21 May 2014 by Jeffery M. Thompson Post: We are working on the science section currently. We have presented at AAS at the beginning of the spring semester. The work presented there we are getting up to the science section. I was emailed this question early in the semester and replied right now we are working on the papers on the science being produced. The N-body project itself has a paper being worked on currently and the separation project has two papers that are being finished. So we have had to balance getting the science in published form to getting the science page update. But one of the focuses of summer when there are less institutional pressures is to get our best face out there. And we have some new students that will be working on that. The science page is a priority for the summer. Also I would like the visualizations to flow more regularly. So yes the work is valuable and we are getting publishable science out of the hard work of everyone. Though it is not quite in final form I will post to the news thread when we get it completely updated. Jeff Thompson
