22) Message boards : Number crunching : Special Contribution Badge (Message 61731) Posted 19 May 2014 by Jeffery M. Thompson Post: I was discussing this on the boinc developers list they have now included it in the code base. It will still need to be modified to work with the way we do badges but hopefully as this gets processed out in the mix it will be in a standard format for aggregation sites so that the processing is minimal at all points in the process. Jeff

23) Message boards : Number crunching : Special Contribution Badge (Message 61716) Posted 12 May 2014 by Jeffery M. Thompson Post: So there are some different ways this can be done. Trying to figure out where to plug it in. If I get this correctly Bok wants all users with this flag set to true. And you need it as information when you query your current user id. So there are two distinct features around the badge status being requested? Jeff Thompson

24) Message boards : Number crunching : Special Contribution Badge (Message 61696) Posted 5 May 2014 by Jeffery M. Thompson Post: I am pointing the MilkyWay team to the thread. I think we may need to ask for any objections from the team and users and may need to reword some things on the donation page though it is scrapable data as is so maybe not. As for implementation it shouldn't be difficult it is just a simple db query to get the info. Jeff Thompson

26) Message boards : Number crunching : Donating to Milkyway@Home (Message 61655) Posted 25 Apr 2014 by Jeffery M. Thompson Post: The form should state it takes one to two weeks for the badges to appear on your profile. The financial data is separate from this site, for security reasons. We get confirmation reports on a periodic basis hence the time window stated on the form. As soon as I get the confirmation information I will update the database and your profile. Did you donate on the 24th as your posting or was it early. If it is outside of the time window I need to track down the issue with the information. Jeff Thompson

27) Message boards : Number crunching : adequately supply or WUs: PLEASE: increase max_wus_in_progress or enable the Computing preference settings (Message 61592) Posted 23 Apr 2014 by Jeffery M. Thompson Post: So we have been calculating the limit in the background it was changed in the past due to problems with the time results were returned. The general calculations in the background look like this Given 35,000 hosts, each having 8 work units that’s = 280,000 workunits in the database (each with potentially 2-3 results). And that’s only counting active work units. If we double it, it could put a big strain on the database. That’s why we have such a small limit. Our algorithm is asynchronous so we change the work units based off the returned results. So we need to balance what we have out versus what is being returned. I am trying to gauge the scope of the issue in the user base with the thread and what other resolutions may help individual users. I do not think with the scope of the work we are doing we can change it much and have the units converge quickly. Other projects release work units and wait for all the results. The type of data processing we use would take much longer in this format. We update the parameters we are searching based on the returned results. So our algorithm is very sensitive to the communication time with the users. We concede this will not work for everyone and we try to make it work for the most users as possible. In this case I am hoping that the user community can find a solution for the original poster on settings that helps mitigate the issues they are having. I personally think if the boinc version is 5.8 that updating it may help with some of the problems requesting new work units but I am no familiar with the transition from 5.x clients to higher version clients.

Thompson Post: I am looking into the impact of more WUs in progress on the efficiency of the server algorithm. But more specifically are others having issues with the WUs not be generated often enough or requesting new WUs. Jeff

33) Message boards : Number crunching : SERVER DOWN (Message 61078) Posted 11 Feb 2014 by Jeffery M. Thompson Post: This was not planned maintenance. We had a problem with the database. The server was restarted and the services brought back up. This happened yesterday. The feeder was running when I left yesterday. I was just informed it went back down so we restarted the service. I am going through the logs to see why it went back down. Jeff

36) Message boards : News : Some new work units running (Message 61056) Posted 11 Feb 2014 by Jeffery M. Thompson Post: The error you are getting say it can not load the function. Your binary says it is an anonymous binary which means it was self compiled or compiled outside of our releases. The modified fit program had two iterations in its release. The bpl part is the second iteration. I would suggest running the binary with the --version option from the command line and comparing it to the source code version. From what I am seeing in the responses between your machine and the server and the error codes it looks like you need to compile the latest version of the code. Jeff
