System Maintenance

Since the last notice was not received in good time by everyone, I thought I should say that I just got this on my RSS feed:

System Maintenance: Sunday May 9th from 2:00 UTC - 8:00 UTC

http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/about...sArticle.do?articleId=344

[Edit: Yes, it does say May, but it means March!]

Useful post from knreed explaining how the "feeder" works and how the error message 'tasks are assigned to another platform' arises:

On the server, there is a daemon called the 'feeder' which loads more tasks into a shared memory segment every second. The shared memory segment can store up to 1000 tasks. When the scheduler receives a request from a client to fetch new tasks to work on, the scheduler only looks at this shared memory segment for tasks that it considers for sending. This is done because at any given time there are up to 1 million tasks available to send for a project. If the scheduler hit the database directly to search for tasks to send on each request, then the load on the database would be overwhelming.

The shared memory is divided into 'slots' that are allocated to the different projects that we have active. Only a task for that project can be assigned to a specific slot.

There are certain times each day when the slots for a given project in the shared memory segment becomes "full" of tasks that are designated for a particular platform (Linux or Windows). These usually only last a few minutes or seconds, but can sometimes last up to 30 minutes.

If for example, you are running Linux and the slots assigned to MCM1 are full of tasks that are already assigned to Windows, then the server will treat it as no work is available for MCM1 for you. (This is what triggers the 'tasks are assigned to another platform' message). If you have the 'send other' work flag checked, it will then look for other projects to send you work from.

At this time, the best option for you is to disable that flag if you do not want to receive work from other projects when the events described above occur.

Really useful information for those of us who to try to help others with their problems in the forum.

But once again important/useful information is buried as an answer in a general "problems" thread. See my response here addressing this point.
