A new scheduler was installed the other day and there was a small bug regarding user preferences which has since been found and fixed. The fixed version will be employed shortly.

And now a separate scheduler problem. There were a couple of rough spots during the past day or so when work wasn't getting sent out very fast. The feeder process keeps a queue of 100 results to send out via the scheduler, and is continually querying the database for the next batch of results to keep its queue full. For some reason this query, which normally takes less than a second, started taking about 1000 seconds, during which the tiny queue would empty and there would be no work to send. There were periods of about 2-3 hours where this was happening - the feeder query would mostly return rapidly, but occasionally take 1000 seconds. Eventually it was go back to normal and stay that way. We're looking into that.

Meanwhile the new science database is doing well, though we're keeping the old science database server on line as a back up just in case things go unexpectedly awry. In a few weeks once we're satisfied we'll decommission the old server.

Data-wise, we're still collecting new multi-beam data (over 1 TB so far!), but still have to create a new splitter, make minor cosmetic changes to the client, and test this in beta before this data goes public. Meanwhile, we're working on old classic data that has never been touched before. We passed on these tapes back in the day mostly due to potential RFI corruption, and we had cleaner tapes which got preference at the time.

Appart for Anandtech's stats, it shows how much more/less than Anandtech.
Also shows based on Average Work Done how many days for Anandtech to overtake the team, or be overtaken by a team behind...
