The situation on malariacontrol.net is back to normal. Malariacontrol is generating and sending workunits at a normal rate.

Interesting but my 24/7 PC didn't run out of work and I think work creation was off for less than 24hrs.


Hi,

Some workunits remained in the pipe... And last night (23h00, Swiss time) Some workunits were generated from our boinc server. The work generation is now stopped (again) for the next few hours.

Hi,

To allow the malariacontrol validator to catch up a bit (about 55'000 results are still waiting for validation), malariacontrol will not send new jobs in the next hours.

Edit: After few hours not generating workunits, malariacontrol is now generating new workunits, but at a slow rate.

Thanks

Hi,

The Validator has been restarted this morning. We are currently monitoring the credit granting and until now no gigantic credits or too little credits have been observed.

But from my stand point I don't see that credit has been 'Fixed', either as a 'fixed' amount or 'fixed' the problem.
The currently returned work units are still giving low credits.

The correction has only been made for host, user and team total credits. Neither RAC nor the credit shown for individual validated tasks have been touched. My guess is that tasks weren't adjusted because they're normally deleted within a few days of being validated.

This might be true, but there is no way to tell how much credit has been granted (?)

Was credit granted for all the already 'pending' / 'completed waiting validation', ie, completed days ago or are those stiil to be credited when the validator comes back on ?

I find this all very confusing and the limited/short explanations not all that helpful to us volunteers, at least me anyway.

My credit has been restored to a number close to what it was, but since I don't know the exact total before all this happened i can only guess, it seems acceptable.

It is very hard to tell how much was granted for all the previously miscredited ones.

I need a break from all the stress caused, thus i'm taking a break from the boinc world for an indefinate period, see everybody sometime in the future.


Hi

We took the users' total credits from our backup on Friday the 19. of November (Before all went wrong).
Then we have listed all the valid results from the 19. of November to last Friday the 26. of November (After having stopped the boinc server).
Using some metrics in the results database table (flops estimate, cpu time) we have then calculated a fair (we have checked a large sample of results!) credit per job for all the users.
This means that the high amounts and the low amounts have been corrected as well.

Nick did already send a news about this on Friday.

Thanks
Guillaume

I'm sure we can all be patient. Thanks for the prompt reply.
Just wanted the project admins to realize that these issues have ramifications outside of the project itself.


As you can read here, we have now stopped to export statistics to third party sites.

what about the already granted ones,
stats are all wrong everywhere now,


As you can read in this post, we will not export any statistics to third party sites till the credit granting is back to normal.

For the already granted ones, we are currently working on this.

We stopped exporting credit statistics to third party sites temporarily. We will reactivate it once credit granting is back to normal.
