Some random news items as the work week winds down. First, we did finally get some data drives from Arecibo - the last of them until we start observing again in early November (at the earliest). So that'll tide us over for a short while. Second, it seems like the third time's the charm: preliminary results from the third software radar blanked data test are looking good! We might roll this into production as early as next week. This means we can start analyzing a wealth of pre-2008 multibeam data that was otherwise useless.

We're still having some science database throughput issues that's keeping us from running the NTPCkr as much as we'd like. More and more this is becoming my number one priority.

Good news about radar blanking. Fingers crossed that testing continues to produce usable data.

Thanks for the update Matt.

good to hear on all fronts..

Good to hear that radar blanker seams to work as expected. But if it don't to avoid run out of data and lose some crunchers you may always do some dirty hack like increase result quorum. But this will cost additional space on storage and database of course so it should be extremity. But I hope that it will be unnecessary. So good luck with radar blanker and science db.

...or maybe we can crunch old workunits twice.

Or maybe the machines that end up with no work can have a rest + save the owners some electricity...

...or maybe we can crunch old workunits twice.

One of the main ideas behind Boinc is that we don't do that.

Boinc let's you do idle work for other projects instead.

I believe thats been done already. When SAH_Enhanced came out I'm pretty sure the Classic dataset was put back into the pipes for another go.

hello everybody.

whats happened with a server? boinc manager can't get any task for seti@home project 3 days.

05.10.2009 21:59:25 SETI@home Scheduler request failed: Couldn't connect to server

is this mean that we have found aliens? :)
