I have this same message on a couple of copmputers.

Am I doing something wrong?

That's all well and good, but we are running out of work! Come on Cern, spit out some work for us!

No you aren't doing anything wrong.

They just need to spend another year to get this project to work right and give us some data to process.

I have done 3000 SETI WU's just waiting for them to do their part of the project. (and over 10,000 total)


I guess that gives our computers an easy job ; )

Are we? I still have one computer with four days LHC work ahead of it. The others are busy with CPDN and SETI - no shortage of work at all.

The Dev's at LHC have already stated that there will be times when there is no work. But either some of you can't read or choose to ignore what the Dev's say and demand WU's from LHC ... You want work then go over to CPDN and you can get WU's that last 2-4 weeks and even longer.

If LHC is your pet project and you don't want to run any of the other projects then sit there and twiddle your thumbs or pick your nose until LHC releases some more work ...

Easy guys... Please stop this slanging match!

Poor Boy is quite right to remind you all that the supply of work from us is intermittent at the moment as we are analyzing what has been done so far. But there is more work coming in the next days.

We will soon be making a general statement on our future plans. This will include a breathing space to improve and scale our servers and the job submission system. CERN has discovered that BOINC is a huge source of CPU, bigger than we have ever had available for beam tracking studies, and one that we want to use optimally in the future.

Please be patient and indeed crunch on all the other BOINC projects too.

Thanking our users again,

Ben Segal (for the LHC@home team)

Goodness me!

I wasn't haven't a go at anyone, I was merely making Aussie humour! Try not to be so stressed out, you'll live longer :D

Good to hear that CERN have realised/seen the power that BOINC brings, and hopefully they can continue to keep making use of it.

It's great if this project will continue more than the 50 days first promised! I'll sure keep crunching.

Thanks for the update. The only _slight_ query is why the user limit was raised just as you were running out of work for us! Just seems a bit odd.

What I love about BOINC is the way that we can participate in several projects, and not have to worry about a project or 3 running out of work.

Thanks for your efforts.

Oh, and a bit of advice about adding more servers - Dell seem to have had problems supplying Predictor, so maybe someone else may be a better bet. ;-)

Well actually there is plenty of work right now but I just decided to bring back an LHC blast from the past.

As of today I have been flying around in circles in the LHC 24/7 for the last 10 years

For some reason the magnets and low temperature just made me go faster but so far I haven't ran into anything or went over any mini event horizons.

See you in 2024

Well we have plenty work for the moment and more coming.
There has also been plenty for the last week or so.
Plenty means from 100,000 to 500,000 WUs.
The “only” recent change was to increase the diskBound to 600MB from 400.

However in the past we had up to 140,000 CPUs active………..now we seem to
be stuck at around 80,000. Maybe not surprising giving recent problems.

I strongly suspect the Apache server which gets you work. It has disappeared a
couple of times for a few days over the last 3 months, but that has always been
reported on the MBs.

I am looking for feedback from CERN support and of course yourselves.

Thanks. Eric.
