Predictor is down

[mitchellds]

Looks like they ran outta space on the inbound side of receiving WU's
I'm getting a error related to running outta space on one of their volumes. :-(

[Nflight]

That is not good at all, keep us aprised if it changes back anytime soon.

Thanks :-(

[mitchellds]

Looks like its working again this a.m.

I moved my 3800+ to Einstein@Home. Looks like we're going to lose 20th place anyhow. I know I don't have enough crunching power to prevent it, but I'm leaving my son's 4800+ on Predictor.

[mitchellds]

Yep, I dont blame you there Steve, Predictor is getting annoying with its burps. I think I'll soon crunch elsewhere also. :-(

Now it's official they have a downtime for an unknown time period (from the wording I think it will be at least several weeks if not months). If you want to stick with protein structure predicition you should switch to Rosetta until Predictor implements their new algorithms.

This is the official web link for Predictor Scripps dot edu server status, and I can not get it to resolve. I kept it handy in my bookmarks so if the time was ever needed to be able to find the problem. Seems the problem is now!

Server Status (http://predictor.scripps.edu/server_status.php)

The link finally resolved, it says everything is up and running, but hey it took over 2 minutes to resolve.

Last night when I looked it had "0" work units in the backlog to be sent out, and they state that they will try to keep 10,000 ready to assign.

Sounds like they are "down" to me.

For what it's worth:

That and $5 and I can get a descent cup of Joe... were I a coffee drinker.

[Nflight]

Nice Job, nice graphics, a cup of coffee huh, You know I have been told the coffee grounds make good fertilizer for rose's!
So if your not thirsty for the cup of joe, I think you can find a place it can be used wisely.
Congrats Steve, So when is the crew going to bring back Predictor after all?

[Steve Lux]

Well, the last update on their web site was on the 6th of September, and they were recommending that people go do other projects for now, so I suspect at minimum it will be several weeks to a few months from now.

Meanwhile, I'm crunching a CPDN work unit (at about 1% per day) on one core I was using for Predictor, and the other core is crunching for Einstein.

[Nflight]

Steve, any chance for you to put one of those cores on Boinc Riesel Sieve, The Team Really could use your help right now! Thank You in advance.

[Steve Lux]

Ok, you asked I came and joined the team effort.

I still have about 1.75 Einstein WU's to finish and have set to not receive any more E@H work units. The E@H wu's were preempted by the Riesel Sieve wu's, but they will get finished eventually.
