Good afternoon to everyone,
The problem with the validator has already been solved and currently the project is stable and processing the data that is arriving. We will continue to check if there is any other problem with the database, but it seems that the problem that caused the crashes has already been solved.
Soon we will launch another small batch of simulations to evaluate how the program is working. We have detected that in a few cases unexpected results return and we want to analyze…
Dear all,
As some of you may have read on the forum, we were experiencing some issues with the validator on Friday. These problems caused the server to be saturated and the database to crash (hence the access problems). We are analyzing the problems, as soon as they are resolved we will reactivate the processes to receive the tasks you have waiting for and be able to award the scores.
Again, thank you very much for your patience in this…
Hey Everyone,
I will be turning off the mysql DB for the server at midnight UTC (8PM EDT) for 12 hours. Last time I kept some processes running, but turned off the WU generators in order to give things time to catch up from the drive failure (they are currently still off). I don't think that the server finished rebuilding then, so I will be turning all MW processes completely off for 12 hours, and then hopefully by the time I turn things back on again, the drive will have rebuilt.
If you only…
NFS@Home has found a new record penultimate prime factor! 7,889M, which is a portion of the number 7^889+1, splits into 151-digit and 160-digit prime factors. This 151-digit prime factor beats the old record, a 147-digit prime factor of 12^293+1. Congrats to all contributors who helped set this new Cunningham project record!
Dear users:
We're back! Not 100% yet, but we want to start testing the app and fixing any issues that may arise.
We have just released a small batch of tasks to see how it works (almost 1000 simulations). If all goes well, when those will be finished, we will send a package with approximately 40,000 simulations.
We had some problems with the update of the BOINC version so we imagine that we will have to solve small details. We ask for your patience at this re-start.
If the tests go OK, the…
Hey Everyone,
I'm going to be turning the project off for roughly 24 hours starting at 1 PM EST (17:00 UTC) on March 25th. This time will do three things: 1) It will allow me to clear the transitioner backlog, 2) It will temporarily stop generating new WUs, so we can work on the backlog of WUs waiting for validation, and 3) It will help the server rebuild the replacement drive that we put into the machine on Monday.
There will probably be at least 12 hours of downtime during this where you…
Hello Everyone,
We will be taking the server down at 1PM NY time to do a reboot and ensure that the replacement drive is rebuilding correctly. We plan on being out for a couple hours at most.
Best,
Tom
Hey Everyone,
The server appears to be having some connectivity issues. Additionally, one of the drives on the server appears to have failed - luckily things are mirrored so we haven't lost any data. However, I need to make a backup of things, which could take several hours. Once everything is backed up I'll try to clear out this transitioner/validator backlog and get things up to speed again.
Best,
Tom
We have measured the original shape and mass of the dwarf galaxy that was ripped apart to make the Orphan-Chenab Stream! The paper is out today: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-4357/ac498a Eric Mendelsohn was the lead author on this study.
Professor Heidi Jo Newberg has made a ~14 min video explaining the topic here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ma44b8-SLcA, and a longer ~24 min video with more information here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eATUWTwdOgc
Thank you to all…
Hey Everyone,
It's finally that time! The southern sky runs from before have converged, and it's time to start new ones while we dig through all that data.
I have taken down the following runs:
de_modfit_84_bundle4_4s_south4s_gapfix
de_modfit_84_bundle4_4s_south4s_gapfix_bgset2
de_modfit_84_bundle4_4s_south4s_gapfix_bgset3
de_modfit_85_bundle4_4s_south4s_gapfix
de_modfit_85_bundle4_4s_south4s_gapfix_bgset2
de_modfit_85_bundle4_4s_south4s_gapfix_bgset3
And I have put up the following…
Hey everyone,
My name is Dylan DeNicola, and I recently joined the MilkyWay@home project as a Project Developer and Project Tester, so I wanted to introduce myself. I'm currently an undergraduate sophomore at RPI, and I'm working towards a computer science major. I plan on working on the development of the BOINC software for the project, and for now, I will be working on updating the server to the latest version of BOINC, getting our GitHub repos up to date, and doing general bug fixes. It's a…
On 25 Jan from 12.00 to 16:00 there is a scheduled power off in my city due to electrical maintenance in the area.
So far the battery power supply of server handles up to 3h of blackout, so it is not know if it can stay up for 4h, but I hope so.
However, even if the server is on, it will be not reachable from the network as all net devices of the area will be powered off during that time.
Thanks
Dear project participants!
A very good start for the ODLK1 project at the Formula Boinc Marathon!
https://formula-boinc.org/projets_v2.py?year=2022&lang=ru&prj=220
21 teams compete in the Marathon.
Thanks to all the teams for participating in this prestigious competition.
Who forgot to connect their team to the Marathon, please connect.
The procedure for connecting the command to Marathon is required.
Dear project participants!
Added 56282 WUs from new rule 25 to the project.
These are WUs-trees that automatically generate new WUs.
Thank you for staying with the project.
Happy New Year!

Dear project participants!
A new experiment for voluntary distributed computing has been announced. This is not a BOINC project.
The experiment is part of my project to investigate the properties of ODLS of order n > 10.
Each of you can take part in the project if you have OS Windows.
I ask everyone to help the experiment.

Hi Everyone,
I'll be working for the rest of the night to try to resolve the large number of workunits waiting for validation. This will involve the server going up and down for maintenance, and certain processes may be turned off for periods of time tonight. I'm hoping that things are resolved tonight, but it is definitely possible that things may not be resolved by tomorrow.
Thanks for you patience and support!
To Sum Up: Older machines/BOINC clients may encounter issues after 12/17/2021. In order to prevent this, update your BOINC client to at least 7.210 7.2.10 by then, as well as your OpenSSL and curl libraries if necessary.
Hey Everyone,
We recently renewed the cert for the server, and we realized that the server is still supporting TLS 1.0/1.1. These services are out of date and are security hazards. We are going to end support for these services as of Friday, December 17, 2021.
What does this…
Hey Everyone,
I think that it would be useful to have a general thread in News for random problems or notices that don't relate to any other thread, or don't require their own thread. Recently we've been using the Validator Outage thread for this, but it's better to have a designated place for it.
Feel free to post comments/concerns/general project status-related thoughts on this thread.
Best,
Tom
