Hello folks!
----------------------------------------Last december, our team launched the "christmas race" at WCG. With more than 100 teams participating, this competition became much more successfull than we had ever thought before. Nevertheless, many teams were not able to join the race because of different reasons (ongoing matches against other teams, problems contacting an inactive team-captain and so on). Christmas is gone and with easter ahead of us, we decided to take this opportunity and again launch a competition: the bunny race. It will take place at WCG from March 1st to March 23th (easter monday). You are cordially invited to join us on this competition!  Here is the link: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/team/challe...llenge.do?challengeId=821  |

Fear that those holes in the grasslands cause for Forza Mucca to break a leg or am i confusing rabbits with heirs.... DPC is likely to skip this.... we're already racing our own kind throwing up lots of dust.
----------------------------------------Will bring it to 'the crew' in case the April POTM choice is not going towards WCG.... that will give others a chance to win (from us) anyhow ;>)

One big question is: will WCG servers be able to handle the increasing power of the project? So far we already have teams like SETI.Germany, SETI.USA, Planet3dNow! and BOINC@Australia on board. ESL will join in soon.
----------------------------------------The daily global BOINC-credit of these teams alone is at approx. 5 millions a day. For comparison: WCG has about 12.5 million credits a day. And there are many more middle-class and small teams.  |

RKN_frost,
We're actually having some trouble handling the mass registrations by ESL today... So, if anyone has a way of contacting them, please tell them to use this link: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/reg/viewRegister.do?teamID=B269XM8DQS1 so that the team will be automatically populated. Thanks! |

Just to add to what nelsoc said. We found a particular problem when people search for teams that was putting a load on the database. The folks from ESL are joining at the rate of 1 per minute over the past few hours and when they arrive, they go first to the registration page, open the team search page (hit to the db #1) and then search for their team (hit to the db #2).
----------------------------------------Using the team link provided above will 'pre-fill' the ESL team for them so they don't need to search. We are putting some code in place now that will cache the recent searches for teams so that it doesn't need to hit the database. As far as the load on the BOINC grid servers? We are not in any danger of hitting capacity at this time (I hope that all this added participation will make it a concern in the future :-)). We also designed the system so that we can scale out easily in multiple directions so additional capacity can be added as needed. Plus Seti has already learned a few tricks that they have shared so all is good. [Edit 1 times, last edit by knreed at Feb 14, 2008 6:45:26 PM] |

This is a great link Kevin and substituted it with my team code and put it in the home forum WCG news thread and plan to put it into the team Wiki too.

Okay, the code is now in place for caching team searches, and the db load is back down to only "above normal" levels.
