August 24, 2008Router issues Sorry everyone, for some reason my main router has been dropping my connection sporatically until I manually unplug it for 5ish seconds.
That's why the server has been kind of spotty. Sorry! Hopefully I can figure out what the problem is soon. Thanks.
August 19, 2008Server OK, 64-bit Windows Done I believe I fixed the issues with the work generator, so the server should be good to go for awhile. I also realized that building a 64-bit
windows version of the application was trivial, so we got one of those now! Hope you dig it.
August 18, 2008Work Generator Problem I noticed that my work generator was failing for some reason, so the server may be a litle sketchy until I figure it out. Sorry!
August 16, 2008Slight WU
problem, Smooth otherwise. I've been notified by some users that in order to get WUs, you must detach and then reattach. This is because I am using a new code signing
key (keeps people from hijacking the server and distributing malicious code). So if you are having problems getting WUs, this is why. Other than that this day has been
going very smoothly! I'm working on the description of the application, and a page that will show how close we are to a new lower bound. Thanks everyone!
August 16, 2008Web site issues, Server start within the hour! After updating the server software last night, I forgot to check the web site, so that's why it looked funny for a few hours :).
I'm
ready to start the server so hopefully everything will go at least somewhat smoothly. I'm also planning on typing up a semi-detailed description of what my software
does, so if anyone is interested please watch for that within the coming days. Thanks for crunching!
P.S. After that I'll be working on the mail server again.
Ramsey@Home is a distributed computing project designed to
find new lower bounds for various Ramsey Numbers using a host of
different techniques. It was inspired by the research of Dr.
David Furcy, Dr. Thomas Naps, Dr. Linda Eroh, and Nick Peterson
during the 2008 spring and summer semester at the University of
Wisconsin-Oshkosh.
If your interested in the mathematics this project deals with,
you can read about Ramsey Numbers
