Project Update

[Mike Mitchell]

Might be an idea for us to let Kevin know it's been done before at SETI and caused quite a stink.

edit: I posted a note here in response to Kevin's comment, if it's not polite enough, can someone let me know?

[Cruncher Pete]

Mmm no not fond of do-over's either,  but even less fond of losing our "overall lead" in the rankings that took a heck of a lot of effort to get that we may never get again.  Even with a huge amount of help from a dozen plus transfer members from other teams where only just hanging on & starting to pull away. ???

At least there's proper work till Tuesday.. 

Whatever happens, we have until Tuesday to maintain our lead.  Note that the world number one Ste\/e and all of my friends from Team Musketeers joined us.  I am not going to give in or give up yet.  Right now I am working on adding another 12 cores for the cause.   

[Dataman]

OK, I'll put some cores there until Tue. 

[JugNut]

You did good Mike M, I think the answer Kevin gave fixes the problem. (unless i'm missing something)

We're generating new galaxies images - so no worries.

The reason we respond quickly is we're the project scientists (and we're learning as we go along). We have no dedicated admins.

This is our project and is doing our science. So we have a vested interest in making it work the best we can :-)

Thanks for that JugNut, I'll pop back there and say thanks to Kevin. With my memory so screwed up, I'd even forgotten I'd posted that.    Plus one.

[JugNut]

POGS is down & i'm out of work units too.....  :furious:

[Cruncher Pete]

Just a heads up in case you have not seen that chat site on BOINCStats challenge.  Kevin said that the problem should be fixed within 4 to 6 hours and that was about four houres ago.  He than discovered another problem and adjusted the time to 6 to 8 hours.  We have no choice but to keep an eye out for the restart time...

[JugNut]

Thanks Pete, was just about to post same info.    So if we are lucky POGS could be back between 5.30-7.30pm tonight. (Sydney time)

[kashi]

Thanks for the update. I'm getting low now but still have about 2 hours of work left. I increased my cache to the max after the challenge commenced.

Chat site mentioned by Cruncher Pete is at http://boincstats.com/en/stats/challenge/team/chat/318


                   

[Mike Mitchell]

Thanks for the info Pete and Kashi, I sent you both a plus one for the assist. 

[JugNut]

There back !!!    Queue's are uploading & have started to see some new work..      Get stuck into it fella's 

[Dataman]

Kevin has put together a interesting graph of CPU load during the challenge. We killed it.

EDIT: Area 1,000,000 is on the queue
Area 1,000,000 has been generated and is on the queue. NGC3032_area1000000.

When it is issued to the crunchers and the answer returned - I'll contact the lucky winners directly28 Jan 2013 | 8:07:53 UTC · Comment


Would be nice if someone from B@A snagged it.

No more WUs for a few days
I need to do some work on the database to recover space. I'm going to turn off the work unit generation for a few days to stop the flow of data. Then we have another 2,000 PS1 galaxies to process 21 Feb 2013 | 3:26:03 UTC

With the AA coming up maybe it will give us a chance to try some WCG.   In a way I wish it was a lot longer that way we could do our AA with little impact to our POGS lead.

Anyway crunch-on...

PS They still have some WU's last I checked.   If your not already over at WCG that is..

[Furlozza]

Gee, and here was me about to make the belated announcement (about lack of work LOL)

So am now doing WCG (but not the GPU units) and the 2 Million will gave to wait LOL

[LawryB]

Work now available.  GPU for WCG and CPU for POGS perhaps?
