...and I've just been caught out by a holiday weekend...Those things are a pest, there should never be anything closed. Give us all 3 or 4 day weeks, everything is open all the time, and we get more relaxation time. There's really no need for people to slave away 40 hours a week in this century. |

Give us all 3 or 4 day weeks, everything is open all the time, and we get more relaxation time. There's really no need for people to slave away 40 hours a week in this century. For me, I'm told I'm paid to work only 17.5 hours per week. Which, of course, doesn't pay the rent in present-day London. Hmm, checking in 4 or 5 times per day, that's 25 or 30 times a week, at 10 to 15 minutes a time... CMS@Home seriously eats into my time allocation. # I despise ya 'cos you're filthy, # But I loves ya, 'cos you're home!-- Tobacco Road |

It's the LHC technical stop! ATLAS and CMS stopped working! |

Appears to be an issue with BOINC services. Validation not happening so no re-sends and maybe affecting new work. Paul. |

the queue has run dry :-( Sorry, Monday is usually my day off, and I surfaced rather late ... (Not helped by a lack of ATLAS jobs for its regulars who are perforce enforced to mingle with us.) |

the queue has run dry :-( I'm sorry, there seems to be a problem at CERN. Workflows are not progressing through the various stages. For example, there are several wfs with no outstanding jobs that are not progressing to "completed". In this case, I have a new wf submitted, but it's stuck in "assigned" and not moving on to "running". I'm not sure I can raise anyone to deal with it at this stage of a summer weekend... Feel free to set No New Tasks where you can, to protect your BOIN task quotas. |

I've submitted a ticket to CERN IT about this matter (INC3513936). |

Feel free to set No New Tasks where you can, to protect your BOIN task quotas.I don't understand what you mean by this. If there are no tasks available, Boinc just gets work from another project you've attached to. LHC then gets a debt in your Boinc, and will catch up later by doing more. I never turn off a project without tasks. In fact the projects with very rare availability, I leave on all the time. When Boinc sees work from them, it does only that project. What are these quotas to "protect"? And protect from what? |

I never turn off a project without tasks. In fact the projects with very rare availability, I leave on all the time. When Boinc sees work from them, it does only that project. Every time you record a BOINC task with an error, your daily task quota is decremented. (I must admit I'm hazy about how this applies across multiple projects). So, you may get down to one task per day. BOINC will only send your quota of tasks per day. The quota then increases by one per day for every successful task completion; If you've depleted your quota down to one task per day it may take some time before you receive all the tasks you expect. Setting NNT when no tasks asre available circumvents the automatic reduction of task quota. |

Setting NNT when no tasks asre available circumvents the automatic reduction of task quota.It doesn't apply across projects. For example a number of my machines are on 1 task per day on Climate Prediction (you get that as soon as you crash just one task, and they're currently very unreliable.) This is not affecting any other project. It's only a crashed task which gets you in trouble, and the LHC server isn't as strict as Climate Prediction, you have to mess up quite a lot. It's nothing to do with not being able to download some when none are available. Not sure why you're linking two entirely different things. Just because I can't get more, I might have say 20 in my buffer and break one, but so what? I'd soon return one of the others and my ban would be lifted. |

yes, obviously some major interruption somewhere there. Since a few hours ago, also the only remaining subproject Theory is affected, too - no downloads of new tasks possible.the queue has run dry :-( |

Not sure which of those links is meant to disprove my point. |
