We will help test the new project

I will try to keep it live

Nice to see a challenge on a new project. Been running Universe@Home for months now and it works well

I hope our server survive the challenge

The site is not remembering my team joining!

I can see team Charlies Web on the list of participating teams, so you should be good.

BOINC@Poland team is tearing all ))

We have to test server very well..

Two of our collegues probably join Google servers to test the project

Do I hear something laboring under a bit of strain?

Seems to be slowing down a bit...

Actually it's slowing down a LOT

It's should back to normal right now.
Additionally, I raise up limits for hosts (up to 2400 results per day per host from 600 and 8 tasks per thread from 4)

Thank you krzyszp! Now to get my backup project work out of the way so the whole fleet can come to bear for the last 38 hours.

I'm not getting work again and the pending WU are starting to climb again.

Is this no work buffer settings problem on new Manager versions?
With my hosts min. and max buffers are 1 day and it's ok... Plenty of WU's in managers...

I'm running 7.3.11 with your settings. 12 thread CPU now down to 4 WU running and 8 idle. I get work occasionally but not enough to keep all threads running.

Someone must be getting work because in the last 3 hours my pendings have gone from 100 to 335.

Using the old settings (those from the start of this challenge) I am not getting any WUs, as do my team mates.

Guess we get to limp over the finish line. Oh well. If it's helped the project, I'm happy.

The next time we all meet on this project I'm sure things will be better They wanted to test the server and I think we did manage to show a few weak points!

I guess the server got hammered pretty hard

I'm really happy to get the server tested on higher pressure then usually
Also I can confirm - I had found weak points and had to stop server for few hours for maintenance.
Also, as new hardware for main server are on its way, I can better setup it
Thanks for all of you for participating and thanks to Astronomy.Ru Forum for starting this challenge

Challenge over -I get new WUs again...
