Cosmology Update

This email was forwarded to me from NFlight over at AmdUsers


From the Cosmology Admin....

We had a sudden unforeseen hardware failure Friday night - we have been working to get the server back up and running. Since it is the week-end it is harder to get replacement parts, so the system may continue to be down for of a couple of days before things will be back on track.

It would be great if you could get a message to our users about this - we were trying to think of a way, but I could not even post on my webpage because it is running on the same server that is hosting cosmology@home.

All the best,

Ben

Dear Terry -

That's very kind of you. I have forwarded your message
to Scott Kruger,
who has been tracking down exactly what the issue is.
It appears to be a
motherboard failure. Cosmology@home is running on a
dual Opteron platform.

It does not appear to be a hard drive problem. Even if
it had been , we
store all our programs and data on that server
completely redundantly,
plus we backed up daily so all the scientific results
of cosmology@home
so far are protected. If you do have a way of
communicating with at
least some of our users, this would also be a good
message to get out there.

All the best,
Ben
