Just did a double take on the server status screen... Isn't that a new splitter???! Splitter status Tape name Host Last block split 10ja05aa gates 18498 <img border="0" src="http://boinc.mundayweb.com/one/stats.php?userID=268&prj=1&trans=off" /><img border="0" src="http://boinc.mundayweb.com/one/stats.php?userID=268&prj=4&trans=off" /> ID: 129044 ·  |

Just did a double take on the server status screen... Isn't that a new splitter???! From the technical news page http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/tech_news.php June 27, 2005 - 22:00 UTC General update: There were some brief semi-outages over the weekend, all having to do with BOINC server software development. We added two fields to the hosts table that enable us to better calculate how much work to send to users (and prevent sending too much work that cannot possibly get finished before particular deadlines). Some server processes had to be recompiled/reinstalled to accommodate these new fields. Currently the validate processes are all failing. This is probably a separate issue that was noticed on Sunday and is currently being diagnosed/debugged. While not a show-stopper by any means, the validation queue will grow until this is fixed (resulting only in a delay of granting credit, not a loss in credit), and then the queue should quickly drain. In order to keep up with the growing user base and the increasing demands for work, another splitter has been added to the splitter pool: a Sun Ultra 10 called "gates." We're sure people will ask about the name so let's nip this in the bud. It our pool of PC's we had one called "gates" which slowly fell into disuse as it aged. One day a Sun Ultra 10 needed to get called into service ASAP, and instead of waiting for the powers that be to grant us a new IP address, we simply shut down that PC for good and reused its address. Not all that interesting, really.

Just did a double take on the server status screen... Isn't that a new splitter???! Possibly -- there is a reallocation of Seti Classic hardware -- then again, that might also be the reason for the validators all being non-computerus-SETI for the past few days. Of course we can all speculate on that in absence of any status update information there.

Ahh.. hadn't noticed the tech news. (although I have been checking earlier in the day). At least that explains the validators being offline as well. I have about 150 pending Wu's and counting :) Kinnison. <img border="0" src="http://boinc.mundayweb.com/one/stats.php?userID=268&prj=1&trans=off" /><img border="0" src="http://boinc.mundayweb.com/one/stats.php?userID=268&prj=4&trans=off" /> ID: 129070 · |

Actually, we're still working on getting gates up and running as a bonefide splitter. Database permission/path issues to be sorted out. - Matt -- BOINC/SETI@home network/web/science/development person -- "Any idiot can have a good idea. What is hard is to do it." - Jeanne-Claude ID: 129080 · |
