BOINC Pentathlon

Welcome BOINC Pentathlon participants. Note that if you haven't participated in NFS@Home recently and are having trouble queuing work, then complete a few workunits and send them back. The server doesn't send much work to machines that haven't returned any recently.

Leaving MilkyWay@home

Milkyway@home

Hey Everyone, I want to thank you all for your support and encouragement over the last 7 or so years that I have been a developer and scientist on this project. Unfortunately, it has come time for me to move on to the next phase in my life and career. Tuesday, April 30th will be my last day working in an official capacity on the MilkyWay@home project and for RPI. Over the last several months, I have been doing my best to document and pass my knowledge down to the current MilkyWay@home…

New runs of MilkyWay Nbody out

Milkyway@home

Hello all, I just wanted to let you know that new runs for the newest version of the MilkyWay@home Nbody program have just been released. The names of these new runs are: -de_nbody_04_23_2019_v176_40k__data__1 -de_nbody_04_23_2019_v176_40k__data__2 -de_nbody_04_23_2019_v176_40k__data__3 I apologize for any inconveniences over the last few days. If you have any issues with these runs, please let me know on this thread and I will try to sort them out as quickly as I can. Just so you know, some…

New version of MilkyWay Nbody

New Separation Runs

Hey everyone, There was a problem with the previous separation runs that was causing some command lines to overflow. I have changed the bundle size of the new runs, so that shouldn't be a problem anymore. The previous runs have been taken down. The names of the new runs…

New MilkyWay@home Scientist

Milkyway@home

Hey Everyone! My name is Tom Donlon. I have worked with Prof. Newberg for several years now on a variety of topics involving n-body simulations and the origin of galactic substructure. I will be transitioning to working as a graduate student and will be working on a project involving the separation application for my thesis. As such I will be providing support for this application and learning how to maintain the server from Jake. Please be gentle during my transition. Thank you for your…

It's been quite a while since the last news post, but work has been continuing. On the status pages you can follow the many completed factorizations. Also, I yesterday I updated the BOINC server code to the latest version.

30 Workunit Limit Per Request - Fix Implemented

Milkyway@home

Hey Everyone, Some users were only able to request 30 workunits at a time max. This is far too low to ensure optimal GPU usage. We have increased the feeder's shared memory size to hopefully increase the number of workunits available to request at any given time. Please let me know here if this has helped the issue. Best, Jake

Proper Credit Rewarded for New Workunits

Milkyway@home

Hey Everyone, New workunits should properly award 227.157 credits instead of 133.622 credits. You may still see a few award 133.622 credits for a little while, but these workunits will filter out over time until eventually all reward the correct 227.157 credits. Best, Jake

Workunit Credit Issues - Fix Implemented

Milkyway@home

Hey Everyone, I have implemented a fix for workunits not assigning credit. Hopefully all newly validated workunits will award credit properly. If you notice anywhere that this is not the case, please let me know. As for the previously validated workunits which assigned zero credit, I am not sure there is a good way for me to assign credit for them. This would probably require me writing a script to actually alter your credit values based on the number of unrewarded returned results. I am…

New Server Update

Milkyway@home

Hey Everyone, We are switched over to the new server. I am still working on a few kinks related to serving workunits, but the website seems mostly stable. I have only found one or two broken pages which I will work on fixing as the week progresses. My priority for the rest of today is getting workunits served. Thanks for your patience. Jake

New Workunit Generation Pause

Milkyway@home

Hey Everyone, In preparation for the migration to the new server, we will be pausing the generation of new workunits today. This does not mean that we will stop sending out workunits. Instead, it means that the only workunits being sent out will be those needing cross validation. Hopefully, this will allow us to clear the workunit validation queue by Tuesday morning and simplify our transition process. This may also mean that at somepoint this weekend or on Monday, there will be very few…

Planned Server Outage Tuesday March 19th

Milkyway@home

Hey Everyone, The new server is in and I am working on getting our project set up and migrated over. My current plan is to take the current server offline early on Tuesday and migrate the database to the new server. I'm not sure how long this will take since the database is quite large. Hopefully I will have everything back up and running sometime on Wednesday the 20th. Sorry for any inconvenience this will cause. Thank you all for your continued support. Best, Jake

New Server Installation

Hey Everyone, We will be receiving our new server today. This means we may experience a few planned outages over the next couple days as we get it set up and migrate our data. In addition to installing this new hardware, we will also be upgrading the server to the BOINC server version 1.0 that was recently released. As is usual during upgrades, there may be a few hiccups along the way. Please bear with us while we work to make things more stable in the long run. Thank you all for your…

Micromanaging CPU vs GPU Workunit Limits

Milkyway@home

Hey Everyone, I will be tweaking some config options on the server to better improve database stability and allow for stockpiling of more workunits by GPU users. The new workunit limits should be as follows: Separation: 600 total 200 GPU (Per GPU up to 600) 40 CPU (Per CPU up to 600) Nbody: 120 total 20 CPU (Per CPU up to 120) Hopefully you guys notice this on your end. If we notice we are running out of workunits more frequently on the server, I will increase the workunit cache a bit. Let me…
