so you think the last work unit will need to be reissued 9 times before credit is given!!!???!!!

Yes, at least that many times!
Have a look at the Einstein server status page. The current run (S5GC1) has been ongoing for the last 172 days, but there are still 206 tasks (64 workunits) from the previous S5GCE run still outstanding. Einstein tasks have 14 day deadlines, but even allowing for a typical 6-day delay between task (re-)generation and issue to a volunteer, 172 days is still at least 8 time-out/resend cycles.
I think those of us who pride ourselves on efficient and timely processing of the work projects ask us to compute for them, forget that there is a far larger number of non-obsessives who receive, but do not return, that work. Given the numbers involved, it really does take that long to eliminate the asymptotic tail.

Just posted on the home page.......a very lengthy process.
Would be surprised if they come back up today.

We are now doing very careful (and time consuming) table checks on the entire database. 26 Oct 2010 18:00:02 UTC

You're doing better than me then, Mark.
I can only get the 'Project is down for maintenance' page on the website...

Giz,
They posted that on the home page. I can also still get to the server status page but I don't know how up to date it is. Master data base shows as 49 hours ago and some of the others are showing 50 hours ago. I agree with Mark, it is very doubtful that they will be up today. I'm not really sure we will even see them tomorrow. I've still got 26 GPU tasks to finish but a lot of them are shorties so I will be completely dry tonight. I'm already out of CPU tasks but I figure I wont reschedule any as I would just run out that much sooner. I'll just let my computer rest until they send me something. I hope they start off with a ghost resend, I've got about 30 of them I'd like to get rid of.

Hi Perryjay,
I've had nothing since the weekend. Waiting patiently for anything to happen. I flushed the DNS cache, and can still only get the Project is down page. No home page or server status page.
I guess with Mork being so unreliable, Jocelyn will take 2-3 times as long to process the database table checks.
Thanks for the info anyway.
I guess I'll have to go back and kill a few more mutants in 'Shadow Of Chernobyl', and shut it down when I go to bed - I'll save a bit of Electricity instead.
Giz.
