Thanks, Ageless.

That's what I get for copying and pasting from another board.

/me dawns his flame proof fire suit.

Hello all,

I am the one responsible for SciLINC and the problems you have been experiencing.

First of all I would like to apologize for the problems everyone is seeing. When I returned Friday I realized that workunits were not flowing, the forums were disabled and an unexpected number of people and teams had joined the project. I would also like to say thank you to everyone here that has responded with helpful input for diagnosing and correcting these issues.

My first priorities were getting the work flowing again then turning on the forums so that there would be a place for feedback, venting and frustration resolution (that almost sounds politically correct.)

Just to let you all know, we did perform internal testing on the project and did not see these issues. Of the machines we tested, one had problems and that was my Windows development machine. The OpenGL driver was causing problems and the machine lagged a little bit. Nothing like what has been reported here. But that machine is also heavily loaded in a number of ways.

Of course the latency of the Internet is much higher than our local network. Unfortunately, I did not foresee that contributing to these problems.

Updates will be posted to the main SciLINC page as we get our database back on-line and are able to address the work unit issue.

Part of the discussion here has hints on improving SciLINC performance so that your machine may recover better once the database is back up.

Sincerely and regretfully,

Ron Parker
