Posted 6 Mar 2018 by Vitaly Post: Although the list does not look impressive, much was accomplished in 2017. The sub-searches that were completed were some of the longest so far. In summary: Wow, 4760579 tasks ) It looks like we won't finish it this year. |

Posted 7 Feb 2018 by Vitaly Post: It is interesting why https://numberfields.asu.edu/NumberFields/workunit.php?wuid=21414417 is cancelled? I aborted it because my Windows shut down abnormally. That WU has only two participants. Regards. |

Database crash
(Message 1947)
Posted 10 Jan 2018 by Vitaly Post: You will notice that all those errors are "download errors". As Richard mentioned above this means the file does not exist anymore on the server. I also checked a few of these, and the server has the data, which means it got returned at some point. My best theory as to what happened is that while the database was crashing (which could have been over a period of hours), these results got returned, validated, assimilated, and then marked for deletion. The file_deleter did its job and deleted the file. During restoration of the database, some wus/results got put back to an earlier state. So the server is resending these results but the corresponding data file has already been deleted. Does this mean that such tasks lost forever? Or they will be recalculated somehow? Regards. |

Database crash
(Message 1943)
Posted 9 Jan 2018 by Vitaly Post: I just discovered something else... although all the project daemons are working as expected, the create_work script cannot connect to the database, so it looks like we missed something when reinstalling mysql. Some WUs can be loaded successfully but the others cannot be loaded - "Error while loading" For example, https://numberfields.asu.edu/NumberFields/workunit.php?wuid=20780713 I have two dozens such WUs. |

New subfield search
(Message 1841)
Posted 29 Mar 2017 by Vitaly Post: I don't do double checking because that would mean the project would have to wait twice as long to complete a search. The most likely reason for someone returning a faulty result would be deliberate maliciousness; do you know of any studies that show what percentage of users do that? Most of the "cheaters" find ways to artificially increase their FLOPS and/or compute time (like running many VMs in parallel) without compromising the results themselves. So do you mean that it is impossible for an incorrect result to be accepted for the project? |

Posted 15 Mar 2017 by Vitaly Post: It is interesting, are you thought about double checking of the tasks. Many projects have double checking. Or it is no need because of specific scientific needs that we have in this project? Thanks. |

implementing SSL on the server
(Message 1779)
Posted 24 Oct 2016 by Vitaly Post: Unfortunately, Richard's approach didn't help. The project is added in BOINC Client but it still cannot connect to the site and retrieve the tasks. Also it didn't add new computer in my account (it seems to me this procedure is performed when adding the project in normal way via BOINC). Thanks. |

Posted 11 Oct 2016 by Vitaly Post: The fact is that BOINC under Ubuntu is very restricted in its options. In particular, it has only "Simplified View" and has no option to view the version of BOINC. But it seems to me the version is old. I used installation instructions depicted in official Berkley site: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Installing_BOINC_on_Ubuntu I used "Non-graphics installation": sudo aptitude install boinc-client Also I want to note that I was successfully added PrimeGrid project. |

I tried to connect many times. Also I tried to add the project about a month ago and had the same error. Thanks. |
