Dear participants, at the start of current search we set deadline for "CMDock long tasks" to 14 days or 336 hours. But average time required to process an individual task is 40 hours. Also, we see, that many of uncompleted tasks which prevent completion of the set to which they belong, "produced" by computers that catch some tasks and didn't get in touch again. Due this, we plan:
1. To perform a gradual reduction of the deadline;
2. To implement a simple mechanism which finds computers that are lost in computing space (those who did not send requests to the server in last m days), and mark its tasks as lost. For example, m may be 10, 8, 6 or 5.

This should not interfere with computers actually participating in the calculations, but can be greatly enhance "results logistic".

Dear Einstein@Home volunteers,

we've just launched a new Zooniverse project called "Pulsar Seekers" to help classify radio pulsar candidates. Please, use your eyes and your intellect to help us to find new pulsars:

Hello everyone,

We are preparing to migrate MilkyWay@home to a new server on 1 November 2023 at 2 pm UTC. This new server has better hardware (specifically more memory), which we expect will improve the performance of the website and the rate at which you can get new workunits. We are forced to perform this migration at a fast pace due to RPI requiring that we update the server OS to ensure proper security.

We expect that this migration will take one day to complete. If it looks like the downtime will be longer than that, we will update you on our Facebook page. It is possible that the server might experience some unexpected behavior after this migration, but I will be closely monitoring the situation to resolve any issues as they may come up. In particular, I will be watching the message boards closely, and I will make a thread for people to report issues with the new server.

That being said, there were some issues with getting BOINC to recognize the binary up on the new server, so we had to increment the binary version from 1.82 to 1.83. I am not sure what this means for workunits that are awaiting validation after the switch, but I will do what I can to make sure everyone gets as much credit as possible for their work. Unfortunately, it is plausible that you may lose some credit due to the migration, which we apologize for.

I apologize for the short notice and thank you in advance for your patience as I try and make this switch as smooth as possible.

Thank you,
Kevin
