Account deletion enabled
Deleting your Moo! Wrapper account is now possible. It can be requested from your Account page or by going directly to https://moowrap.net/delete_account_request.php page. Your account will be deleted automatically after email address* verification that tries to make sure you are you. Note that this process will permanently delete your account and you will lose access to it. There's no way to restore an account so please be sure before requesting deletion.

*I know email verification requirement can cause problems for some users that can't receive emails. This includes emails protected with the Outlook services because MS/Outlook never accepts any email from our project server. Even their support services is not able to help figure out why that is. So if you are affected with this (please also check your Junk email folder) you can either try to complain to your email service provider or, preferably, switch to some email service provider that works. For Example Google Mail should work. Note that changing your email address will mean you have to wait a week before account deletion is possible due to security reasons.

Releasing new version 1.5 apps
FINALLY new app version 1.5 app is released for first platforms (Windows CPU and OpenCL). Biggest improvements are newer D.net Client and BOINC upstream changed to wrapper which both bring fixes and some new features. More information can be found in the changelog post at https://moowrap.net/forum_thread.php?id=206&postid=2265#2265.

As always, please report any problems getting work or having work fail more often in the relevant forum here. Note that there can be some confusion in the BOINC Scheduler as it tries to recalculate stats for best performing app variant for you (like OpenCL vs. native GPU apps).

PS. BOINC Server has also gotten some updates from BOINC developers so there's been lots of churn lately. The server migration is also progressing.

Server migration in progress
We are in the middle of migrating our servers to a different hosting provider and this can cause sudden maintenance mode or even unexpected problems. Migration will probably still take up to a month. First problem seems to be that everything is slower as the database server has moved but the application server has not. Everything should still work as long as there's no time out.

BOINC Scheduler changes for multiple app version case
BOINC Scheduler has had problems sending different app versions to clients when there's multiple possible versions for a platform. For example, this happens when there's both OpenCL and Stream/CUDA or both 32-bit and 64-bit CPU app version available. To hopefully fix this our scheduler has been changed to send each app version until it has enough host specific speed samples. Only exception is when that version has been failing.

Please report any problems of getting work or having them fail more often in our forums. Thank you and happy crunching!

Outage due to primary disk failure
Due to the primary disk finally failing completely there was about 8h of downtime for the project today. For some reason the disk failure brouht the server down even though we are running from the backup disk since July.

Out of work
There's no more work available at the moment due to the distributed.net keymaster hardware failure. Our local cache was just also depleted, which lasted for about two days. So let's finish what we have and then move on to backup projects (yes, they are always good idea to have) while we wait for the distributed.net staff to repair keymaster. Rest assured, they are working hard to get the keymaster back up. As soon as that happens, we'll get fresh work out for our hungry systems to crunch.

Disk maintenance and work generation woes
Project was down today between 18:00 and 21:30 EEST (that's from 15:00 UTC/7:00 PST to 18:30 UTC/11:30 PST) for about 3 and half hours while the previously failing disk was swapped with a backup disk and data was copied over. Now the project is running from a disk that's not showing signs of collapsing due to read errors. The backup disk is as old as the failed disk but hasn't had that much use so it should last until the project server is migrated to a new server with SSD disks later this year.

This happened a bit unannounced as I took advantage of the D.net keymaster problems that seems to slow down our work generation for some reason. That's also the why we run out of work before the maintenance and why we still don't have full work buffers. Hopefully that will fix itself once the keymaster is back in action. In any case, our local proxy will eventually run out of work unless the keymaster will be resurrected.

Unscheduled downtime due to disk problems
There was an unscheduled downtime on 5th of July from about 13:00 EEST+3 (that's 10:00 UTC or 3:00 PDT-7) until about 1:30 EEST (22:30 UTC or 15:30 PDT) for a total of 12 hours 30 mins. There might have been problems with services for 2 hours or even longer before the start of downtime.

This was due to disk I/O failures on our main server that meant it had to be brought down for a disk check and temporary repairs. There was no critical data affected as the only file blocks permanently lost due to bad sectors were parts of log files. All other files were repaired successfully.

The affected disk will need to be replaced as it will most likely fail completely soon. This will require additional downtime in coming days.

For now, I'm bringing services back up slowly while the backlog gets processed.

New v1.4 apps for nVidia OpenCL and Android
More apps based on v1.4 of wrapper code are now available.

First there are Android apps with both non-PIE (for pre-4.1) and PIE (for 4.1 and later, especially 5) versions. Android apps are no longer in beta so everybody should get them but please report any problems at the new Android forum http://moowrap.net/forum_forum.php?id=27.

New app v1.4 with OpenCL support deployed
Finally we have a newer application version that supports OpenCL! Updated versions of both AMD/ATI Stream and OpenCL apps for Windows have been offered by our server since yesterday to participants meeting requirements.

These apps require BOINC Client v7.2.28 or newer and Windows XP or newer. The Stream app is not available to AMD Radeon HD 7870/7950/7970/R9 280X series (Tahiti) or newer cards due to compatibility issues. OpenCL app is preferred for those cards.

The old app version is still available for systems running older BOINC Client. However, if your system has multiple GPUs, please consider updating it's BOINC Client to a support version. There are known issues running the old app on systems with multiple GPUs. New apps fix these by running one cruncher per device.

For detailed app change history, please read application changelog. For latest requirements enforced by our server, please read latest requirements.

Please report any problems you might encounter with new apps and our changes. Especially if you no longer get any work from our server where you previously did. You can report them by posting at our forum.

Server moving
I'm migrating our primary server to a new host that has a newer OS and more modern hardware. It's also closer to our DB server so any delays between the servers should be minimized. To top this all off, it's also cheaper.

As things are changing there might be one or more disruptions on services but I'll keep an eye on things and don't expect any loss of work as soon as dust settles. No action is needed on your part unless you are hard coding our server IP address somewhere like your firewall rules.

Transitioner problem solved
It turned out the problem was actually caused by a corrupted index in one of the primary database tables used by BOINC Server. Recreated the table/index and things are looking much better so I've restarted the system. However, transitioner is now going through all the 600k workunits in the DB and only once that is done, the system will start creating new workunits. Until then we are out of work to send. Sorry! I'll keep an eye out to make sure we recover fully.

Weird BOINC server bug causing problems
It seems transitioner is not transitioning anything since 5h ago so nothing is progressing through our pipe. I've shut down most background tasks to be safe until I can figure out what's going on with BOINC server programs at the moment. Unfortunately, this has to wait until later today.

You don't have to cancel current work units you might have as they will get reported and credited once services are back up. They can even be 1-2 days overdue and still get accepted. However, you might want switch to your backup projects until we have new work ready.

Work shortage and previous outages
It seems we run out of work to send today for a second time during this week (last incident happened three days ago) and both of them has been because upstream (distributed.net) keymaster has not send us any work to generate into work units for you to crunch on.

Three days ago the keymaster run out of work (they currently have limited alerts for such issues due to a monitoring server failure) until an operator queued more work and today the keymaster was somehow confused and not sending anything until the same operator restarted the service. So work is getting generated and send to you again.

Also, there has been some total outages earlier that has been due to our primary database server crashing. I'm still trying to figure out what's the exact cause of it's crashing under high load but for now my work a rounds has been keeping it up. If all else fails, I'm going to change server hardware to one that's hopefully more reliable.

Additionally, I'm going to lower the ATI memory requirements so that some cards with limited memory can also participate. Native ATI Stream app is no longer available for ATI 7xxx class cards in preparation for getting a working OpenCL app out for them.

Server code update and fix to GPU work scheduling
Just finished an update to the latest BOINC Server code that brought a lot of fixes and improvements from BOINC devs in last 6 months. These included web feature changes as well as various backend process changes. (And before you ask, no, credit system is still the same and no granting adjustments have been done there.)

Additionally, since the code refresh didn't seem to fix it, I debugged the "only 1 GPU work unit sent by scheduler" problem and hopefully got it fixed. It seems the matchmaker scoring scheduling algorithm we switched to some time ago doesn't work correctly for GPU work request. (Specifically the new resource based work requests of new BOINC client versions.) I switched us back to the old trusty array scheduling algorithm and now the GPU work requests are been fulfilled fully by our scheduler.

Network problems
There has been some strange networking problems affecting our proxy connection to the D.net upstream key distribution servers. This is the reason why our work generators have failed to generate fresh work and we've run out of work to send to you. I'm working on trying to figure out what's the problem here. AFAIK, these problems don't affect any other connections or your ability to upload/download work.

Hard drive failure on our primary database server
Our shiny new primary database server, that's been responsible for the nice performance lately, decided that things have been way too stable. So this Sunday morning at about 6:38 EET* the server killed it's primary hard drive bringing everything to a grinding halt. :(

I've switched to using our replicate DB until data center staff can replace our failed hard drive and/or server. I'm currently bringing the services back online slowly to catch things up. Note that things might be slower until the first onslaught of clients reconnecting is over.

Good news is that there shouldn't be more than few seconds of DB changes lost because our database is replicated to the secondary server. Please, do tell if you see something strange. Bad news is that there's going to be a maintenance break in the near future when I switch primary DB back to the resurrected server (maybe next weekend, if things run fine with only one DB server).

Downtime was a bit longer than expected (started around 1:00EET/23:00UTC/14:00PST) because moving over 30G of data actually takes a while and then there was complications while making our Python based backend and PHP based web use SSL when connecting to the new MySQL server.

Happy Holidays!
Santa came by and demanded that I do something about recent credit levels. I obviously said no since we are already granting such high levels to begin with but he wouldn't take no for an answer. Now there's some Santa Magic in effect that makes our validator grant double credits for everybody! I'm so sorry about this and I'll fix it as soon as I have time to figure out what Santa did. :(

In other news, base credit is now 9 per stat units (the last number in wu name) and fragmented work will get a 20% bump in compensation. A fragmented work is one that has more than twice the normal amount of packets in it (the second to last number in wu name). Both of these conditions are in effect for now but I might adjust values after seeing how things progress.

Unexpected downtime
It seems we had our first unexpected downtime yesterday. :( We've had some offline times previously but most of them have been for a shorter period of time and on purpose due to maintenance and updates.

Access to our services were failing on Thursday from about 4:00 to 20:30 when I finally brought things back online. Those times are on my local EEST+3 timezone, which means from 1:00 to 17:30 UTC and from Wed 18:00 to 10:30 PDT. This is about 16 and half hours of lost time.

Looking through logs, this seems to have been caused by the server running out of memory and subsequently OOM-killing itself to death. I have few things I can do to prevent same problem bringing us down in the future. (Like moving the DB to a different server as the OOM-killer chose the poor DB to die on first round.)

I did notice the problems in the morning but due to unrelated complications (non-project ones) I didn't manage to get the server back online until that evening. I do apologize for this extending our downtime. :(

There's a known problem with checkpoint interval (uses a default 2h interval) and core selection (selected core is shared with ATI/nVidia on the same host) for these applications.

Different workunit sizes added
Hi,

I just completed adding different workunit sizes and scheduler should now sent you work based on the measured speed of your host. Additionally, scheduler sents workunits that are better "match" for number of cards your host has. This should minimize idle cards at the end of wu.

I'm pretty sure there's still some tweaking to do and I will be watching how the scheduler performs tomorrow. Please, do let me know if there seems to be something odd with workunits given to your host and especially if you are now unable to get any work. Thanks!

Switched to granting static credit
Hi,

Due to numerous inconsistencies in the BOINC credit calculation, I've switched to granting static amount of credit based on stat units in a wu. Stat units in a particular wu is the last number in its name (second to last in a task name) and measures the relative amount of work in a wu.

At the moment we are giving 5cr per stat unit, which gives a little over 2kcr per current WU size. (For example, a standardish wu with 448 stat units gives 2240cr) We probably switch to 7cr eventually, which gives about 3kcr per current WU size (same 448 now gives 3136cr regardless of how long it took).

Partial result crediting works the same way it used to.

Credits
Hi,

I've been working on getting the crediting to stabilize. During these changes there was a time where valid results were given a near zero credit (it was shown as zero). This affected 290 results for 54 users and 80 hosts.

I've just fixed credit for these anomalies by granting them a fixed amount. Also, the near zero credits shouldn't happen anymore since it seems to have been result of a --max_granted_result switch for the validator that I tried as a solution for the credits. I'm not sure if it's a bug in BOINC Server code or if it's really supposed to work that way..

Otherwise, the crediting seems to have somewhat stabilized but I think we are giving too much credit at the moment. I'm going to bring it down a bit.

There are still cases were huge credit is given for some results. If validator doesn't correct itself I need to change how we credit results and bypass all these scaling that goes on.

Hi,

Looks like BOINC server software went a little crazy with sending emails so the server hit it's outbound email limit for today. There are 406 mails waiting to be sent. Limit should get reset any minute now (or it'll take another 24 hours) and at least the queued mail should get sent then.

My guess is that this flurry is from initial global team import and other notifications from users registering on the project and on forum.
