Electrical work
On Thusday 23/4/2024 there are planned some electrical works in my area from 9:00 to 13:30 with power that probably will be tuned off too. So the server could be not reachable during that times due to loss of internet connection.

New Folding@home software in beta
The beta release of our new client software is going well. Thanks to everyone who has tried it out and given us feedback! If you haven't already, you can download the software here . This new client…
Lightning bolt
There was a lightning bolt on 1/4/2024 in the night that damage (e.g. they broke) many electrical devices in the area (1Km^2). Internet connection were restored only in the morning (as provider is at 200m distance of the server and it was damaged too). Even if the server is behind a power supply, it get in non operational state (e.g the data disk was disconnected), maybe due to the heavy electrical current it passes onto the battery power supply. Every disk of the server were un-mount from it…
Hard drive space crisis solved // Crisis de espacio en el disco duro resuelta
Dear volunteers, This weekend we have broken a new record for computing Teraflops (since we are in this new stage of the project). This is thanks to the pace of sending results that you have been doing in recent days and being more stable in the generation of work packages. Although we were monitoring it, the coincidence of this peak with the database backup on the weekend has caused the hard drive to become saturated sooner than expected. We have been working since Monday on moving data out…
Project status update // Actualización del estado del proyecto
Dear volunteers, I am writing to update you on how the different experiments we had launched have been going and the next steps we will take. On the one hand, we have finished (at least temporarily) the optimization of our model. As we had already told you, with the results that you have sent us, we managed to greatly improve how our model represented different physiological markers, but a problem that we thought we had solved had reappeared. We have tried different options but it reappeared…
And we're back!
The NFS@Home server was unexpectedly caught up in a campus network reorganization. That knocked us offline for a bit over a day. There may be brief outages over the next few days as we get everything settled again, but we are mostly back up with a new IP address. We apologize for the inconvenience. Edit: The site came back up in the US on Friday afternoon PST, but because of a misconfigured firewall it wasn't available worldwide until Saturday afternoon. Again, we apologize for the issues.
New K-Tuple competition
With the new year we organized a new K-Tuple competition: https://primesmagicgames.altervista.org/wp/primes-k-tuple-2/ The competition will last 3 months and is for finding new result about some k-tuple open problems (there are 7 tasks). Unless this Boinc project were all contribute to find solutions in latin squares field donating CPU power, the competition is for people that like to code programs and experiment with mathematics to find new solution by them-self. For this project instead, the…

Commenting on Recent Issues with the server
Hello everyone, I wanted to apologize for the recent server issues. The migration brought unforeseen challenges, particularly with DNS changes. As a newcomer to server management and BOINC projects, I've been on a steep learning curve to transition this project to a new server. As mentioned in a previous post, and reiterated here, we have set up a temporary DNS entry for milkyway-new that now points to the server. The changes will take some time to become effective (I don't have a specific…

Migrating MilkyWay@home to a New Server
Hello everyone, We are preparing to migrate MilkyWay@home to a new server on 1 November 2023 at 2 pm UTC. This new server has better hardware (specifically more memory), which we expect will improve the performance of the website and the rate at which you can get new workunits. We are forced to perform this migration at a fast pace due to RPI requiring that we update the server OS to ensure proper security. We expect that this migration will take one day to complete. If it looks like the…
P78 ECM factor!
User Moor found a 78-digit prime factor of an Cunningham number using ECM. This is the largest ECM factor found this year, and the 4th largest for all times (and the largest found by yoyo@home).
Server problems
Hi, during the holiday one disk of the server suddenly died, so it gets unavailable. Unfortunately I come back from holiday a week later, so all workunits and credits were already time out at that time. Disk died on 20 Aug during the day. The DB is the one of 8:00 as it from a clean backup (all WU and result where not touched from the disk damages, however some WU may be missed into the DB for credits, but not for the results collected). As the server were using an old SO that soon will go out…
University network maintenance // Mantenimiento en la red de la universidad
Dear volunteers, The IT department has notified us that tomorrow, starting at 3:00 p.m. (CEST), maintenance work will be carried out on the university network. It is possible that from that moment on there will be problems accessing DENIS. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. Best, Jesús. ======================================== Estimados voluntarios: El departamento de Sistemas de Información nos ha avisado de que mañana, a partir de las 15:00 (CEST), se realizarán trabajos de…
Holiday
hi, from tomorrow I will be on holiday for max 15 days without server access, so be sure to add a backup Boinc project in case of server problem.
Reduction in the number of tasks during the month of August // Reducción en el número de tareas durante el mes de agosto
Dear volunteers, We are approaching the month of August in which the university rests for vacations. While we may not stop completely, the number of tasks available this month will be fewer. Our attention to the state of the server will be reduced, so we do not want to take the risk of saturating it. Between the 20th to 28th the stop of new tasks will be total, resuming normal activity from the 29th or 30th. I take this opportunity to tell you that the different variations of the optimization…
New BOINC project

Server Maintenance 6/28/2023 12 PM EDT (4 PM UTC)
Hey Everyone, I'll be shutting the server down for about an hour or two tomorrow at noon EDT (4 PM UTC) to take care of the loads of WUs stuck waiting for validation. They are from leftover Separation WUs trickling in after the project was shut off. Unfortunately I do not think that credit will be given out for these stuck WUs, as they were turned in after the project was shut down, and the validator is not running to give people credit. N-body WUs will not be affected by this, and all credit…
Results and new simulations // Resultados y nuevas simulaciones
Dear volunteers, I am writing to update you on how the project is going and the results we are obtaining. First of all, the optimization of the new model we are developing has already finished (the first one we released). Unfortunately the results have not been as expected. The optimization has worked very well and many markers have been improved, but one of the model issues that we are trying to fix has reappeared after the optimization. We think we understand where the problem is coming from…

Separation Application Shutting Down on Tuesday, Jun 20th
Hello everyone, Thanks for your discussion on the other thread (https://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/forum_thread.php?id=5007). Based on your input we have decided to turn off Separation this Tuesday. N-body will still be running, and we appreciate anyone who wants to help crunch work for that application! I am not able to give you an exact time estimate because it's not clear exactly how long it will take to properly shut things down; however, I expect it to be sometime around noon EDT (1600…
Separation Project Coming To An End
Dear Volunteers, We are beginning to sunset the Separation project (note that this is different from the N-Body project, which still needs your help!!!). Thanks to your computational contributions, we have completed the goals that we set out to accomplish with this the project, so we are going to shut down the Separation project in the near future. We are planning on submitting a paper containing the final results of the Separation project to an academic journal in the near future. It is…
