Does anyone know what happened to the Einstein BOINC project site? The home page has been unavailable since last night.

Probably another typo in their switch to another server. Not Thursday the 26th but Wednesday the 25th. ;)

Right -- I will add one or two projects to my working list once Seti classic is shut down. I still have a batch of computers reporting units to it. One thing I like there is the lack of report deadlines -- something not really possible with BOINC due to the need to validate.

Look over to CPDN. They have a deadline of ~ 1 year. Their wu's take a lot time to crunch but they 'trickle' from time to time, so you get credits step by step.

Taken from Pirates@Home Messageboard:

For those of the crew who are also cranking for Einstein@Home (and ye all should be), you may have noticed that the site is not responding. The server crashed due to a hardware problem, and they are trying to swap in some new hardware even as I am typing.
There was a planned down time tomorrow to move the hardware to a new cabinet. I do not yet know if they will take the opportunity to make the move now that the project is down.

EDIT: And this is from Einstein homepage:

The Einstein server went down some time around 12:40 Wednesday morning. We are currently analyzing the situation and will provide more information as the situation is being handled.


Hope they will fix it soon

Thanks -- I'm trying to set up an account there but there is a problem processing -- resulting in timeouts.

i think they have more than one Server, from the Old News

Feb 1, 2005
We have started using a mirrored download server at the Albert Einstein Institute (AEI) in Golm bei Potsdam, near Berlin, Germany. Hosts whose timezone offset from UTC is closer to UWM (UTC-7 hours) will continue to get data and executables from UWM. Those hosts whose offset from UTC is closer to the AEI (UTC+1 hour) will get data and executables from AEI. This should give faster and more reliable downloads for everyone. Note that if a download fails from the first server, the alternate will also be tried. Please report any problems or strange behavior to the message boards.


and

March 14, 2005
A data download mirror is now being hosted by the PSU LSC group. Einstein@Home users in the US Eastern Time Zone will now try to get data from this mirror first.


dont know why all Servers are down...

They have 1 main server for uploads and scheduling. They have 4 download servers so that you can download from the closest mirror whenever you download work. If the scheduler server (einstein.phys.uwm.edu) crashes then the whole project goes down.

Well, I did get one wu - after that one was crunched I've seen no more.. But noticed that they reverted to the outdated cc message again

It also appears that whatever is wrong on the Einstein site is severe enough that they are remaining offline for a full day or more.

It ought to be interesting when they finally get back online. Wonder how they are going to handle all those WU's that had a closeout date during the time they were out of communication ... ????
