Indeed, it seems that you have been chosen :) I hope that our crunching does some good things for your project objectives! | |

@bearnol, the official start of the sprint is about 1h from now. 9pm BST if you're in the UK (which I think you are?). | |

I think Bearnol needs a new server. :P | |

The project coped well with the bunkering phase of the sprint but not so well with the sprint proper. Uploads are almost impossible. At the last count I had just over 3000 completed WU that I'm stuck with and which are inching towards their deadline. | |

Please, please extend the deadlines (on all extant work if possible) as 48hrs seems unfairly low when server downtime can account for 24-36hrs of this entire period. | |

Hi all (and Damien) Hello Bearnol, nobody have lauch a sprint or an attack on you or on your project ! If you think so, then you are fully wrong. It is the world stats site (SETIBZH) who offer you an extra calculation power. You decided to participate at this competetion by adding project on Boinc. Now it is started, you close ! Can you start again all program from your server ? You have intentionaly stopped it this friday apr 5th about 07:00 UTC. Why ? You not need the extrra power ? But be very attentive on bottleneck when you will start again : there are hundreds of users with totally more than 150.000 WU waiting report/validation/assimilation. The worst is that the most of those WU are very close deadline. For some it is a question of hours !!! What shall happens with it ? It would be fair from you to answer, or at least to restart server. If for some reasons, your server is not able to support this over load, contact as soon as possiblme the big boss of SETIBZH/FormulaBoinc ( "Sebastien" from Alliance Francophone). Best regards. ____________ ![]() | |

Uh-oh, looks like we might have done too much damage :( | |

I do believe that I have LOST more points than I have ever earned on this project and all down to stupidly short deadlines which your own server cannot meet. Everything crunched in good time and yet still points lost at your end. I suggested on these forums back in January that 48hrs was not good. | |

Hi all (including marsinph...) Hello instead to relate post from januar 2020, please, restart prtograms, extend deadline. We all of us are sure, this Sprint can not run normally because you refuse to start server. And you still nothing explain. It is unfair from a admin, project admin, developer and scientist. I think more and more perople will go away. We spent energy to help, and nothing from your side seems to change. You not answer all the questions about deadline, you nothing explain. It is sad. A little tip : latest year : project Xanson. Also on Boinc, but admin had cintacted admin of SETIBZH, to be removed from the sprint.... I also see, following server status, you produce WU, but nobady can take it, you hold "feeder" off-line ! Why to produce if you refuse to send ??? | |

Everyone knows this is a small project. | |

Or, he could just take the multiple intelligent suggestions that have been made and actually do them to help this Sprint function. | |

Frustration, not hate, Steve. Two other occasions where project server downtime exceeded their own WU deadline were outwith any kind of a challenge. Extending the deadline IS under project admin control I believe. | |

The reality is that our sprint loads are such a huge spike from 'normal' for a project like this one. I'm not sure that we can assume that every small project will be able to provision against 10x,20x,30x (or whatever) spikes in load like this. No point beating up poor bearnol here. Pretty sure it's more complicated than just turning his server back on ... | |

Not just this Sprint alone. I've lost tons of WUs not being credited due to either server downtime or "database could not open" OUTSIDE of challenges. Meaning on a regular basis, these errors would occurred from time to time and last long enough for the WUs to expired. I understand that it's a small project, and maybe a project that doesn't need anymore crunching. Just available for those who wants to hit milestones. But if it's a live project, then we need communication. We need to address the issues when they came up, even if it just a FUN project. Suggestions had been made, if you like/don't like it then just give an answer/response. Not too hard is it? | |

Yeah, I could simply abort the many hundreds of completed WUs stuck in the pipe if bearnol would simply indicate that they will expire without being credited. Being kept in suspense and having to keep trying to contact the server is just no fun. | |
