Milkyway@home back up
Matthew A was able to get the database stabilized, and it looks like we are running smoothly again. It appears that the SQL query threads were not timing out properly, and were jamming the CPU with worthless tasks. This has been remedied.While we expect to run smoothly for now, other database issues may pop up - the FreeBSD operating system that is currently running Milkyway@home is old, and notoriously incompatible with modern SQL. Of course, we hope to not have more problems.We are ordering a new server, and should transition over to it in mid-December. We'll post the specs once we finalize them, and keep you posted.Cheers,Matthew Newby
