Our new validator has completed its testing phase and is finally ready to go live! An important new feature of this validator is that it eliminates the need for homogenous redundancy and sets quorum of all WUs to 1. As with any major update there may be bugs so we request your help in identifying them. Thanks and Merry Christmas!

Once again, the ghosts in the machine attacked when everybody was out of town for Thanksgiving, rendering the server non-functional until someone could make it back in town. After replacing the network switch and the NIC, and applying a hefty dose of holy water to ward away any further geist attacks, the server is up again.

We have generated 50 test work units each worth 120 credits to test our new validator. The new validator essentially eliminates the need for homogenous redundancy and will also be used to organize our data more efficiently. Checking to see if these test work units download correctly will also help us narrow down possibilities and help find a solution to the HTTP errors many of you have been experiencing with this project.

Fixed a problem with the work generator and made approximately 10k new WUs. Sorry for the inconvenience.

The WUs for the test application have been removed and we have started up the work generator. You should see regular WU traffic soon.
October 10, 2008
The old WUs are still around, since I made a mistake in the script used to cancel them, so I've just manually cancelled all of the old ones again. This shouldn't affect the new WUs at all.

Making some work today (for the main app) to test the new validation system. If the work starts to come back properly, then we'll start making more.

Anshul and I are going to spend the day working on the project. The first thing will be to clear out the WU queue and start from scratch. We'll keep you posted.

We've just hired a new administrator for Cosmology@Home, Anshul Kanakia. I will be working with him in the next couple of weeks to get the project up and running. Anshul is an undergraduate at the Univerisity of Illinois, so he will have as much time (or more) than I had in the past to dedicate to the project. Please welcome him and help him out if you can!

It should also be noted that test work will be validated regardless of whether or not it matches the partner WU. This will insure that nobody is penalized for running test work with the experimental HR.
September 5, 2008
After a little more work, we are going to release some work for the test app test_camb, which will be using a different (although not final) version of HR. The credit for these WUs will be higher than that for normal WUs (140 versus 120). If you want to participate in testing, please enable test work in your project preferences.
NOTE: This post has been edited to reflect the correct credit values.

The RAID array on our server broke down over the weekend, and after an incredibly-long recovery process, the server is back up.
August 29, 2008
The projct will be down while we work on the major problems facing the project right now, including work distribution, HR, and credit. We will be making work for a test application so we can test the new HR model.
August 9, 2008
Workunits created over two weeks ago have been piling up, so we've made a small change to the feeder code and cancelled the offending WUs.
July 31, 2008
The i686 Linux app issue has been fixed.
July 24, 2008
Due to a typo in the work-generation script and non-aggressive PHP error checking, work generation was down yesterday. It's been fixed now. |
