RSA Lattice Server moving to NFS@Home and shutting down

[Duke of Buckingham]

I just aborted everything I had and will see if that fixed the problem.

We will pass the French tonight and move into 3rd. 36 hours after that we should be in 2nd with about 5 to 8 days to take number one. More machines the faster we do this.

Nice Mike french kissing all the night. Yeha after french kissing we can move to the third base. Abortion can fix some problems but I am against.

Huh... Wonder what's up with the RSS Feed for news...

RSALS shutting down at the end of August, please migrate to NFS@Home...
As announced 11 days ago, RSALS operations are being merged into the larger NFS@Home grid.

So it looks like it should be 14 days or so left...

I just got back from a business trip, so I'm just now all in on RSA. I don't have any completed tasks yet but will keep an eye on it. Way to go on sending out an email on this as I may not have caught it in the boards, been pretty busy lately selling virtual phone systems.

SG just woke up. Their RAC went from 2K to 20K in less than a day. I don't think they liked it that both Sic and us passed them by. This could get real interesting. Their big guns have their computers hidden, so it is hard to tell what they can do. [SG-FC] hl can do 75K per day on SETI which also uses CreditNew and just moved to RSA. We have about the same number (23 vs 25) cruncing on RSA now, so only time will tell.

Watch your overclocked machines! I had to back off on my i7 as it was getting errors. Dropped from 20% top 5% OC. Hopefully that is enough. Will know for sure in an hour or two. Thankfully, RSA keeps the invalids and errors around for a little while so while you can't see the valid WUs, you can at least see the invalid ones.

I can't get any WU's for my lappy from RSA for some reason. Just got about 20 for simap so no clue why RSA is ignoring me.

I think that is due to the wonderful changes made to the scheduler in recent BOINC versions. Isn't it great? When I questioned how it worked on the boinc mailing list, I was told that it works as designed. Suspending a project won't help and you can't reset the debts any more either. So long as BOINC thinks you have enough work in your cache and/or wants work from another project it is very hard to get work. My solution was to set all other projects to no new tasks, abort all the tasks from all other projects, do an update on each and wait for them to all clear, and then suspend the other projects. I also boosted the priority at RSA to 900. Only then would some of my boxes grab RSA work. However, when they finally grabbed work, they grabbed so much that many are still running the WUs in high priority mode - and it has been several days now. Almost makes a guy go back to an early 6.10.x version of BOINC...

OK got work now, when my CPU's were dry, no RSA so I loaded up on pogs and Simap. Then RSA says OK here's some work. Go figure.

I got the email and I'll help out too. I hope we can make number 1!

Thanks guys. Awesome to see you and Fogle helping on this push.

I had to edit this as I check and noticed a whole bunch more help has arrived. Thank you guys and gals. Time is limited and I hope the wus keep coming.
