The server that serves the ABP1 workunit data files shut itself down for an emergency at about 19:30 CET. We are investigating, it will probably not be back up before tomorow. ABP1 workunits downloaded now will probably end up as download errors (nope, they are not served by the mirror network).

The ABP1 validator stumbled

The ABP1 validator stumbled over a result file that apparently forced it into an infinite loop. The program has been diabled until the problem has been fixed. No credit for ABP1 workunits in the next days.

Now that ABP1 has been

Now that ABP1 has been officially released and new workunits have been created, could we have the validator running again, please?

Also, I note that the credit 'claim' passed back to the servers is the old benchmark*time figure. I presume that the eventual 'grant' will be a server-determined value, like the LIGO work: otherwise we'll have the old Linux/Windows imbalance back, as with my first WU:

The handling of ABP1 results will be moved to a different machine, for some time the server status page won't be able to show the daemon status correctly.

Hello, My system just

Hello,

My system just finished a ABP1 file and cannot upload the results. Check the messages file and see the following message:

Error reported by file upload server: can't open file /BOINC/projects/EinsteinAtHome/upload/31b/:Permission denied.

May I assume that's an issue on the upload server?

Yeah, it's unfortunate that "distributed computing" has been adopted for rather malicious applications (bot-nets etc) so malware-scanners are now detecting what is normal busineess in BOINC as a suspicious thing.

I'm sure there are ways to tell that scanner that the PALFA app (and the S5R5 app) are trusted by you, right?

How stupid is that? templates_400Hz.bank is a plain ASCII file!
