    Our server is currently overloaded. As a result few work units will be available and validation of completed work units will be slow (credit is granted upon successful validation).

    Message 14813 - Posted 1 Dec 2010 16:32:20 UTC - in response to Message 14812.

      As of yesterday morning our server had a backlog of around 130000 work units to validate; today that has reduced to around 120000. The high server load in processing these results has slowed down the parameteriser responsible for creating new work units, so you may not be able to get any to run. On the plus side, the reduced flow of new work units to validate will help the server deal with the large backlog (once this decreases, server load should return to normal).

          Speculation:
          Could there be more PCs available for work because the SETI project is down?

          That sounded like a lot of WUs to process....

          Thanks for the Info !!!!!!

            Slowly getting through it.

            Down to a backlog under 94k.

              Thank you for the update. I will continue with my two World Community Grid projects for the rest of the week.
