    PrimeGrid: Primegrid downtime starting Sunday, September 28th

    Sometime on Sunday, September 28th we expect to take both the BOINC and PRPNet servers down for maintenance. This is expected to happen sometime within a 24 hour period staring as early as 11:00 UTC. We expect the servers to be back up no later than 11:00 UTC on Monday. The host machines that our virtual servers are running on are going to be rebooted sometime during that timeframe, and we want the database to be stopped when that occurs to avoid any chance of corrupting the database. We will try to keep the downtime as short as possible, but since we don't know exactly when the servers will be rebooted, we may need to keep the servers shut down for a large part of the Window. You may wish to increase your queue of tasks to 24 hours to make sure you don't run out of work. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. For questions, updates, and more information, please see this thread.

    No Prime yet, they always take more time than they say, a lot of tasks waiting for the return, as usual.

    Hoping it stays up. Since my GPUs are just itting idle I was going to load a few up and see what it does with the new configuration. Sad to say, I'm having to trottle back Cosmology. It keeps locking up my computer. (It's THE reason I took a vaca last year) I see it's not any better on my main now.

    Not sure why, but Cosmo puts a heavier strain on my machines than other projects that show a higher RAM usage. Very strange.
