| Server crash |
|
The server crashed due a memory leak. The database was corrupt so restored from todays backup, it was expected but need to investigate which was causing this. wanted to fix this in 3d but came earlier.

| Lightning bolt |
There was a lightning bolt on 1/4/2024 in the night that damage (e.g. they broke) many electrical devices in the area (1Km^2).
Internet connection were restored only in the morning (as provider is at 200m distance of the server and it was damaged too).
Even if the server is behind a power supply, it get in non operational state (e.g the data disk was disconnected), maybe due to the heavy electrical current it passes onto the battery power supply.
Every disk of the server were un-mount from it and tested in another machine and all data were ok, even if the server did not boot properly.
Now it is running in emergency mode (e.g. it need a manual start up, so if it restart from eventual current blackout, it will no boot) and I will monitoring if all is going right.
During the weekend, I will work on fix it, so the server will be disconnected for some times during the day.
Remember that if the internet connection is on and the server is off, you can see some message here: http://boinc-status.multi-pool.info/ about his state.
Please, remember to set up a backup BOINC project in case of emergency. Thanks.

| Part 3 of the 10^21 search has started |
Part 2 of the 1021 search will be finished, for the most part, today. There are still ~2000 unfinished WUs which can take up to a couple of weeks to complete, depending on individual participants processing them.
Part 3 of the search will look for amicable pairs where the smaller member of the pair has its largest prime factor between 1011 and 1014:
m=m1*p, 1011 < p < 1014
There are too many primes larger than 1014 (all primes up to 5*1019 need to be checked), so they will require a different approach and a new application when the time comes.
Most of the participants have already started getting part 3 WUs. The new work units will require ~2.5-2.7 GB RAM on CPU, and the same amount of RAM on GPU (for GPU applications), so the minimum requirement for GPUs will be 3 GB RAM.
Update April 9th, 2024: I found a bug in OpenCL applications, which resulted in many false negatives (around 12.5%). The bug was in the new code that I added for the part 3, so the previous search is unaffected. Version 3.09 has this bug fixed, but I had to restart the part 3. Luckily, we were only a couple of weeks in.

| BOINC Needs Votes at a UN Upcoming Forum |
BOINC is a finalist for an notable award, and needs your vote (*by Sunday)
The World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) (https://www.itu.int/net4/wsis/forum/2024) is a United Nations-sponsored initiative aimed at harnessing the potential of information and communication technologies to build inclusive and equitable information societies worldwide. BOINC has been nominated for a prize at the 2024 forum (https://www.itu.int/net4/wsis/stocktaking/Prizes/2024), and has passed initial hurdles; the next and last step ("Phase 3") requires public votes. The award would be a very nice boost and validation for BOINC and all our projects; if we can get our communities to vote, we should have a decent shot at this point...
Voting is pretty simple, takes just a few minutes; instructions are here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1x9Xi3tq7Y9dlDD0Xb0Ul0yYCXct5pDqIqssqARxvrXg/edit.
(*The deadline for votes is Thursday April 04 (23:00 UTC+02:00))

| Hard drive space crisis solved // Crisis de espacio en el disco duro resuelta |
Dear volunteers,
This weekend we have broken a new record for computing Teraflops (since we are in this new stage of the project). This is thanks to the pace of sending results that you have been doing in recent days and being more stable in the generation of work packages.
Although we were monitoring it, the coincidence of this peak with the database backup on the weekend has caused the hard drive to become saturated sooner than expected. We have been working since Monday on moving data out of the server and even other processes, but as we gained space it kept filling up with results that were pending upload.
This morning, for the first time in two days, more tasks have been validated than have been received and little by little normality will return. At first, it doesn't seem like anything has been lost and we are already submitting work again.
We have expanded the space to receive results and are working on automating some of the tasks to ensure we can continue to grow.
Thank you all very much, if we have this type of problems it is because of the great support you give us, we will continue working to grow by your side.
Sorry for not answering in the forums, and thank you very much for be aware of the evolution.
All the best,
Jesus.
=====================================================
Estimados voluntarios:
Este fin de semana hemos batido un nuevo record de Teraflops de computación (desde que estamos en esta nueva etapa del proyecto). Esto es gracias al ritmo de envío de resultados que estáis haciendo en los últimos días y de estar más estables en la generación de paquetes de trabajo.
Aunque ibamos monitorizándolo, la coincidencia de este pico con la copia de seguridad de la base de datos en el fin de semana ha hecho que se saturara el disco duro antes de lo esperado. Hemos estado trabajando desde el lunes en mover datos fuera del servidor e incluso otros procesos, pero según ganábamos espacio se seguía llenando con los resultados que estaban pendientes de subir.
Esta mañana, por primera vez en dos días se han validado más tareas de las que se han recibido y poco a poco se irá retomando la normalidad. En principio, no parece que se haya perdido nada y ya estamos enviando trabajo de nuevo.
Hemos ampliado el espacio para recibir resultados y estamos trabajando en automatizar algunas de las tareas para garantizar que podemos seguir creciendo.
Muchas gracias a todos, si tenemos este tipo de problemas es por el gran apoyo que nos dais, seguiremos trabajando para crecer a vuestro lado.
Disculpad que no haya contestado en los foros, muchas gracias por estar tan pendientes de la evolución.
Un saludo,
Jesús.
