TPU's WCG/BOINC Team

It seems that I forgot to heat my home this winter partially with crunching. This will be corrected for the remaining cold months.
 
Here we are with some news on the project and how and what is going on if anyone is interested :)

I hope everyone is doing well and ok :D :D
 
It seems WCG is down for a bit. I have setup Rosetta and MilkyWay for projects.

As James? Your 5950X is very capable.

Yes. As my old profile name James. Unlike TPU it is not as easy to change profile names over there.
 
Massive thanks to you @Nordic for supporting TPUs Rosetta project!! :D :D I did wonder, now I know!! :D :D
 
Do we know when WCG will be back up?

Our captain @phill posted a link some post up. It didn’t open at the time but he might remember where he found it.

Edit: the link worked now for me but isn’t usefull in the sense when they will release new work. My GPUs are off, actually all my CPUs are as well. Got tired and poor from distributed help to organizations that take us for granted. Some top 10 places are there for the taking.

April 22 at the earliest.
Hey guys, I'm not sure if this is the link @mstenholm is meaning Linky to the WCG News but that shows all the news from the updates on the upgrade and such. I'd gather that as soon as the update is up and running, they'll send out something to everyone :)

I’m just saying that you are on top on things, you know Captain like.

Come on bro, we couldn't ask for a better team captain. :peace:
 
Tell that to the Mrs's mate!! :laugh: :laugh: !!!!

I'm sure she would disagree. That's because you spend so much time managing the likes of us. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

You are so not wrong!!

She just doesn't understand the important things in life like WCG or PC Hardware or PC Gaming (I mean Unreal is a prime target there....) ... Forget trying to explain and get her on board with that, attention span of a gold fish I think.... Hang on, that might be harsh to the gold fish..... Maybe attention span of a leaf staying still in the wind?? No, still harsh on the leaf...

I'm out, I can't think of anything!! :laugh: :laugh:
 
Well guys and gals, with looking about for some updates this morning, I'd noticed that WCG had updated about when they are planning to get the crunching up and running for WCG again, looks like the date has been moved back a bit sadly.... More info below for anyone interested etc. :)

Why they can't format the damn page better is beyond me but still, just in case anyone wishes to read it :)
 
Well, I wonder if they are going to be able to start back up on the 9th?

That's less than a full week ahead.
 
Well to update a little as @Zachary85 mentioned in the Rosetta Pie thread and I've been meaning to do an update on the points anyways, there was a small post about the status of WCG coming back online, so I've got the link below and a snip of it just in case as its probably just a load easier :D :D

WCG Update, Click me!! Or me!!

Hopefully there will be a bit more of a timescale given out soon, but I guess it might be a little while after the 9th... I am pretty sure like most projects, there's loads more to it than actually first thought..... :)
 
Krembil writes that they will be ready tomorrow evening, presumably their time - Restart

My takeaway was that they would be ready to commit to a restart date before the 12th - not actually be able to restart by then. It seems there's more testing yet to be done. But maybe I'm comprehending this incorrectly.
As we are now able to continue with testing the system we plan to reassess the earliest WCG restart date we can commit to by Thursday evening (May 12th, 2022). We will post an updated schedule to social media and to the website on the 12th.

You are right. I’m not sure if I trust their dates, this announcement were made today the 11th, not the 10th as they wrote. Well we will see. I got one machine on most of the time.
 
Apologies guys for not updating the thread, down to the hospital again for a check up this time, will update as soon as I can :)
 
No worries @phill !!!
Heal up soon:)
Healing is taking its sweet time (another two months I think!!) but here's hoping they can get this ready to go shortly :) We all need a bit of WCG in our lives again.....

I hope everyone is doing well and is ok :)
