The race starts again

Something isn't right. It has been showing up my submissions within minutes.

Sorry, just me being stupid.

I didn't add my new node to my ID.

I'm 6th i think after the ground zero restart.

Hi

the stats contain the true node stats. Node XYZ would be annotated as having 1,000,000,000 points even if it was not assigned to any user

Starting to work on the clients code will come later in time, first up is fixing the JSP jobs so that the lost stats may be joined with the current stats and fixing the system so that new libraries can be loaded. Only after this has been done will Andy start to look over the code of the client and of the servers, or so this is what I understand.

Where as all of us would like to see the stats recovered and joined with the current run, if it can't happen it is not going to happen; but it may be entirely possible to create a static page with the old run of stats on it but they will be static and we will continue to build on the new stats.

Many may not agree with this but what must come before the stats is protecting the science we have generated in our results. For TRI this is paramount, otherwise what is the point of continuing on? When there is a power loss at TRI there is finite amount of electricity that can be generated to run hardware on. While as it may be an inconvenience to you and I that the web server or stats server is off, the power is better used running the refrigeration units in the wet lab than the web sever. We would not want the samples to expire to do no refrigeration just so that we can get our stats fix for that day. The web server will come back up and the results will propagate to the stats server and everything will be updated, but the science has to come first.

You can at least expect new libraries in the future as well as a new client/backend. The stats as I said may end up just being a static reference page if they cannot be merged with the current JSP.

For the most part I agree with Rodzilla, but I think that the stats should stay lost. After all the alleged "cheating" (I'm not pointing any fingers here, so nobody get upset!)and other stuff thats happend recently, I think the stats should start off from new. This way ALL the teams are starting from an equal point and not being boosted by extremely high numbers from LOOOOONG since inactive nodes / members. Lets start with new stats and only active team members. This would be a MUCH more interesting game of chase.

There must be some middle point we could reach were everyone is happy, maybe if a new bug free / updated / same client - different number / whatever /insert here, client can be released fairly soon, we could restart the stats from that new client, and update the final stats for the previous (current) client to reflect the true numbers that the teams produced under that run.

If you look at the current team stats, you will see that there have been a LOT of position changes, and lots of non / low production teams are now much further down than they used to be. and some teams are right back at their position before the stats loss. These stats now reflect the true, current team production numbers.

Same teams, just new battles ahead.

I tried but got following message: Error: Unable to locate a server for service: TaskData_Service

I´m unsure how the results will be handle, if t will show up or not.

No, I'm using my cached units. Some computers have run down to 0 so have switched them to other projects. Rothberg don't seem to be having a good run at the moment.

Lagu,

Same here. Keep getting the same error and haven't gotten any new tasks at all.

Time here is 19:31 PST, and I just downloaded 50 tasks, so I'd have to say that they are running again. I just put a machine on it for a while to at least get on the board again. don't know how long I'll leave it on d2ol as I really rather ticked off about the whole thing.


edit: heh, I see my system isn't "asutomagically" compensating for the 1 hour daylight savings time...... oh well....

[Keith75]

I am getting work now also. Is the work we are getting doing any good or is it just the same old work being passed back out?

Hi

Today I tried downloading 300 WU´s from D2OL. But I failed, and the agent told me I already have 200 assigned WU´s. I though there must be something wrong so I clicked on “flush all works” to remove them. To my surprise the download started and now I’m downloading 2000 WU´s but the download is very slow as it always have used to be.
