All the rest of the work was cancelled except long3 (these are the last results which need to complete the batch)

Due a windows 10 bluescreen, cant identify yet whats causing this crashed the project database and cant be recovered. The old backup from 02.02. was resetup. All new users or hosts after this date need to be registered again. Pls stop all the current work. I will see what I can do to rescue the old work and upload the missing files. With this new OS I cant believe it. As long as I cant find the issue Iam lost. Trying to readout the dump file to be sure to fix this main problem. Sorry for all the troubles.

The volunteers belonging to the BOINC.Italy group have organized a challenge on this project, from March 16 at 12:00 UTC up to March 23 at 12:00 UTC. Have a look at the challenge banner here: [Link] https://www.boincitaly.org/media/kunena/attachments/6725/TN-GridCh.jpg and the boincstats announcement/chat page: [Link] https://www.boincstats.com/stats/challenge/team/chat/1072

Sorry that the CMS@Home HTCondor server is still playing up. Again over the weekend it refused to serve jobs even though plenty were available. Together with Federica we've decided not to inject another workflow this week, to let if "fail hard" again so that she can investigate which ClassAd preferences are not being met. So, you will probably see the number of running jobs falling, and the number of errors increasing, in the next few days. Please feel free to set No New Tasks in that case. I won't, so that there is still some pressure for jobs on the server. I've also asked Laurence if I can run the CMS@Home VM outside of BOINC, to get around the quota back-off problem.

The internet speed got an upgrade from 400/25Mbit to 1000/50Mbit. Now things should be faster.

There should be plenty of work in workunits of the "MDADpr4" series. It should be one of the largest efforts so far. T

Pls dont use this setting, activate "In a single daily email" instead. The project sending out an email every 5min and flooding the email box, something is broken.

Just wanted to say that everything is going on smoothly. The server is stable, the scientists are happy with the results and are doing their analysis. Thanks all!

OK, jobs are available again. Sorry for the long delay. Remember, I'm only the front-man for a larger crew, so any downstream delays percolate up to my response. Hopefully this will remain good for some time, but I still don't understand why the condor server occasionally refuses to send out jobs in a timely manner.

We apologize once again, but it seems we have run into another error with the last set of runs. These runs will be replaced by the following runs: -de_nbody_02_10_2020_v176_40k__data__1 -de_nbody_02_10_2020_v176_40k__data__2 -de_nbody_02_10_2020_v176_40k__data__3 Rest assured that these errors do not affect the ability of your computers to run the milkyway_nbody application and will not cause you to lose credit. Thank you for your patience and your continued support. -Eric

We need to upgrade the CMS@Home WMAgent before Thursday, so I tried to set the workflows to drain down. Unfortunately, I misunderstood the batch states and killed off most of them instead. :-(. There's one still left with about 200 jobs, so that won't last long. Please set your CMS projects to No New Tasks to avoid getting lots of computation errors. I'll let you know when the upgrade is done and jobs are flowing again.

Hello all, I have put up some new runs for milkyway_nbody.
