Cosmo's TU

[mitchellds]

Project has gone offline for some reason.

[Sou'westerly]

The last I saw was "Cosmology@Home will be down for a couple of hours while we perform server maintenance related to the vast number of errors we've been seeing for the past ..." but that was a Google cache over 36 hours ago! Dave

On another thread - they seem to have a motherboard failure and cannot get parts due to the weekend. It will be down for a few days.

[CarcinogenX]

What a bummer. I was at like 99,990 and ready to celebrate. Now my whole weekend is ruined.

Oh, I'm certain it was entirely and deviously personal. Why, it's my understanding that they were all standing around the server with one holding the plug - all specifically watching your score until it got close enough then yanked it out. Congresswoman, and now House Speaker, Pelosi has had it out for you for years. Now that she has the power she called and told them to get you. It's sad that you are making the rest of the world suffer for your wicked ways.

That's exactly what I thought was happening.
Hey wait, how did you know that? OMG they are broadcasting my thoughts again. Must wrap head in thicker foil this time.

On another note....
I have never worked on a project when something like this has happened and was wondering what the likelihood is that we will lose the WU’s that have not uploaded yet. I know it is a hardware problem but I’m just wondering if I should let my cpu’s keep working on Cosmo or not. I have quite a cache of WU’s. I would say 100+ completed with 100+ still to go. Any thoughts?

We should be okay, they have a Backup so at the worst we may lose a little Credit but not much. I have about 750 Wu's waiting to Upload to the Project with only a few left to run then I'm dry.

I suspect we'll be in 3'rd place when the Project comes back up as some of the Free-DC guys had 3 or 4 days of a cache, I only had about a day & 1/2 for a cache. I thought that would be enough to tide me over if the Server went down, I guess not ... :icon_rolleyes:

I got a question about that too...
I attach my flowerpot of 3 computers to a project and one of them downloads 90% of the available work. To the best of my knowledge it is running the same version of boinc as the rest. It was more of a problem because it was the weakest of the 3 but I replaced it with a quad. I have both quads in the garage (free electricity from the HOA) and some days the wireless disconnects for whatever reason which leaves one of them sitting idle and the other one with a weeks worth of work. How do I even out the WU's between the computers?

I just checked it out and I was wrong, I have 200+- WU's on the 1 computer. I hope it comes back up soon. I seem to get more credit per day on Cosmo than any other project.

[vaughan]

I'm still crunching thru my cached WUs. They are still before their expiry deadline. I hope the hardware problem they encountered doesn't mean they'll lose any data. :(

[Bender10]

Well, at least they are werking on it! The web site now responds with this message:

Cosmology@Home is currently down due to technical difficulties. We will be working around the clock to ensure that we're back up ASAP.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

15 minutes ago I was able to finish uploading the completed work units, I can not finalize the reporting of the work units at this time and the time to which the project resets my time frame to is now 24 hours. I too have some work units to report but at this time, please be patient everyone! As soon as I get this reported I am going up a day or two in work units to crunch, no more Mr. nice guy!

You show 300 Credits for the last 28 Days for the Cosmology Project & now your not going to be Mr. Nice Guy anymore, what you gonna do, put up 600 for the next 28 days, that'll really show um ... :icon_rolleyes:

Patience my arse, I stand to lose up-wards of 100,000 Credits if things don't improve. Right now every single upload I have to the project is in some state of uploading with the message that the file can't be found.

From past experience thats not a good message to be getting, it usually means your screwed & not going to get the Credit for it ... :icon_mad:

[Brucifer]

Ah you boinc lovers just provide me hours of entertainment!!!!! :)
:icon_rolleyes:

Go do some primegrid, they seem do be doing fine on the points thing, and they aren't going to run out of work anytime soon... at least for the psp sieving part of it.
