/ Same here. Everything seems normal again.
Although I don\'t see any more of the optimizer WU\'s.
/ I have a really hard time getting new WUs. Is that some \"aftermath\" of the DC problems. It\'s just that my PCs don\'t request any new work. My QuadCore used to have around 3 days worth of cache and it\'s down to a few hours. Same goes for my other crunchers. How come?
____________
/ Sadly the same problem here, I put 6 cores up over the weekend and they can hardly get any WUs, the time between requests went up to 24h due to all the problems!
____________
/ I\'m having the same problem. It seems to happen when we run the optimization wu\'s -- and I\'ve loaded up a bunch of them -- at least I have work -- but I have 12 copleted tasks spread across 2 machines -- I\'m living off of my pending credit.

The Vista box reloaded with about half of optimizer WUs (ver 1.29) but 2 ubuntu linux boxes didn\'t receive any of the opt WUs. Is this just a coincidence?

I have just 1 WU right now...says 16 hrs to complete, but will probably be done in 1 1/2hr. Backup project will take up the slack.
/ It seems that the server is running smoothly again and distributing work. Here is what caused the problems that started on the weekend and gradually got worse:
The server application that processes finished and validated optimizer workunits was making heavy use of the database. This lead to two different problems: First, the BOINC server programs were sometimes refused connections to the database, causing the error messages some of you posted here. Second, the program that creates new malariacontrol workunits also could not operate properly, therefore the queue of malariacontrol workunits was empty earlier today.
We have shut down the optimizer application as a consequence and will look for a solution to prevent this in the future before starting it again.

Thanks for the info Nick! I have a cache full of optimizer WUs. Should I abort them or just let them run as the day goes?
Again, we all appreciate your status post!!

Just let them run through, please! We\'ve just stopped creating new ones for the moment because of the load of the wu-creator on the db, the workunits themselves are ok.

Split optimizer tasks separately? Or have it run off its own independent server?

We\'ll see if this is necessary, we hope we don\'t need new hardware. Up to now, it was always possible to identify and remove the bottleneck when we hit a performance problem.

/ Good morning,
I live in Green Bay WI. My father suffered from Malaria for all the years I, we, had him. He was infected during the 2nd world war in Africa. I remember his boughts with it vividly. The terrible fever and chills. The pain and the recovery.
Because my father suffered from it before I was conceived, am I immune? Did I receive some gift?
Just wondering,
Jo

/ Because my father suffered from it before I was conceived, am I immune? Did I receive some gift?

Jo
No, I think I can say with certainty that you are not immune.
Malaria transmission between humans requires a vector, which in this case is the female Anopheles mosquito. Malaria causes the infected person (host) to become sick, but it does not, as far as I know, alter their genetic makeup by affecting their dna. This means that you, as a child of an infected individual, cannot acquire any immunity genetically from your parents. Similarly, you could not become infected by your parent, unless a mosquito transmits the infection.
If you\'re planning on visiting an area where malaria is endemic, please consult your GP and take the necessary precautions.
You can read more about malaria here: What is malaria?
and here: Malaria at Wikipedia
/
Because my father suffered from it before I was conceived, am I immune?
No, there\'s no way you could benefit from the immunity that your father may have acquired. It is known that mothers in endemic regions pass some of their acquired immunity on to their babies (via antibodies), but this effect wanes within the first months of live of the newborn.
For a question like this one, could you please start a new thread under the appropriate topics next time?
Thanks
Nick
