[all] new work
Hi Everyone!
Sorry about lots of delays in work generation but we've finally started up some new runs. Things have been pretty busy getting settled in here at RIT. We have some interesting work in the pipleline so we're hoping to have a new application out sometime this semester.
cheers,

[all] status update
Hi Everyone!
Sorry for a lot of silence on our end -- things have been quite hectic this summer! I accepted a new position and now am at Rochester Institute of Technology and busily getting a new lab set up (and having some students migrate along with me).
I'm going to let some of the work units clear out of the system and set up some new runs which should help fix some of the issues you've been seeing with bad workunits. In the longer term, I've started work on an updated binary which should also allow for the use of GPUs, which should hopefully allow the runs to scale a bit better without running into these problems.
I'll be keeping you posted as that comes along, but right now we're all just trying to get settled in a new place! Thanks again for all your support. The results coming in are definitely interesting ones!

Hi All,
I've started up some new runs. These are using a different, larger, dataset, so let me know if you see any issues with them.
thanks!

[all] account manager issues update
Hi All,
It looks like the "team" table in the database had become corrupted and crashed. I repaired the database and it looks like all is working and I'm not seeing any errors on my end. Let me know if this fixed things for you.
cheers,

[all] account manager issues
Hi Everyone,
I've been getting reports of account manager issues. Could anyone provide screenshots so I can get a better idea of what may be going on?
We haven't changed anything server side, was there a recent account manager upgrade that might have broken things? I'll do some server side BOINC code updates tonight to see if that fixes things.
Please let me know if you have any more information about issues you may be seeing so I can help track down the problem.
thanks!
