Primenet Server - Official Maintenance Thread - Page 6

The server will be getting patches applied at 7 PM UTC (about 75 minutes from this post).

The updates will take ~ 30 minutes to complete during which time the server will be unavailable (both the website and the API used by the Prime95 clients).

I'll update this message when complete.

LOL...

All done, at any rate.

Haha, true story, my daughter was invited to a b'day party at some restaurant, girlie stuff, they were 16 invited, but 3 didn't show up, and during the party, between fun and drinks (not only non-alcoholic, as I understood) they realized that they were 13 and it was Friday 13, and she said it was a bit creepy for few minutes (then they switched to other funny things). She told us the story on skype, I mean like a fun story, and my reaction, of an old, grumpy hard atheist, not believing in such idiosyncrasies, was "interesting how far the coincidence can go... is the restaurant also called 13 cows or something"?

I don't think she'll talk to me next week...

I've only had this happen once, recently, and didn't lose any data, but it's possible to do so if one is less cautious than I was. Sequence was this:
1) Note the manual result submission page shows me logged in
2) gather manual results from most of my systems, paste into the one manual result submission page
3) click submit
4) Server responds with a message that my login expired during the gathering, and tells me to log in before submitting results, after tossing my just-submitted results into its very own trashcan.

Maybe that behavior could be modified to preserve the submitted results, in a way that's easily available to the end user to resubmit after the login-again? (As in copy these results that did not go through, then login and try again by pasting them in.)

I was able to go back and gather them again, from the individual gpu results files, because I don't delete them ever, and they get annotated by the gathering program as to date & time of gathering to one location per system. The gathering per system had already gotten cleared, so the individual results files served as scattered numerous fragmentary backups.

The upper limit of the manual gpu assignment page's 100Mdigit TF range could use some rounding. I don't think that value shown is factorable to any integers > 1. https://www.mersenne.org/manual_gpu_assignment/

Thanks for mentioning that. That's pretty weird. I may check on that page later and see how it's calculating that and switch it to round up or whatever.

Fixed. It's doing a query that gets an average value and the result was a FLOAT. I just cast to an INT and all is well.

Just as an FYI, the server SSL certificate got updated today. Should be working fine, but I mention it here in case someone has a problem, at least they'll know what changed.

The Primenet server will be taken down briefly for some maintenance and updates at 21:45 UTC (about 20 minutes from now).

I anticipate the downtime to last around 25 minutes - hopefully sooner.

EDIT: Change of plan - got delayed starting so it'll be starting now @ 23:00 UTC

EDIT: Back online, good to go.
