What's going on with WCG

I am not getting any work units.

freeagent · Apr 1, 2023

I haven't gotten any for weeks.

I just gave up on them.

Who other have units to work on. I am trying to get units from LHC, Rosetta and wcg. I have no work units from anyone.

WCG is claiming that they will be ready to start taking in finished work on Monday and then proceed to start sending work within a few days after that.

They experienced pretty much a total hardware failure and have been working to replace and get the new stuff running (57k usd was the cost from the posts on wcg forum).

A lot of folks have gotten tired of the failures and the waiting without much feedback but I'm hopeful that this latest round of trouble is the start of much better support for the project

Same here! Looks like all of them uploaded but still sitting at Ready to report

Sadly no points updated at all today, so maybe when the server/s start working again properly, hopefully we'll see some points on the board

I do hope that it'll be up and working correctly now for the foreseeable future.. Missing out an entire month wasn't really part of anyone's game plan I'm sure but it is what it is

UPDATE!

The storage failure recovery process has been completed and we have resumed computation on the new storage system.

Fingers crossed for smooth sailing for at least a little while

Just as things start, I'm going away for a few days!! Damn it!! :laugh:

A&P211 · Apr 4, 2023

Seems some things are fixed and others remain.

@A&P211 is your WCG name AP211?? What exactly are you having issues with? Downloading work or points??

It's downloading now.

phill · Apr 10, 2023

Downloading has been fine for me, but the upload has been painful..

Hope you are all back to where you wished and need to be!

This seems to happen more often, then not...again, they have issues with SW not working properly:
