As is frequently the case with the higher workload presented by the shorter work units, the Collatz database server is offline (this now happens 3 or more times a week). The outages typically run from 4 hours to 24 hours at which time the database server gets recycled and the clock on the next outage is restarted.

That the Collatz database server has been offline this long over the weekend raises the possibility that the admin there (it's a one person effort, running it out of his home I believe), may not be around this weekend to do a server restart.

Over the past few weeks, the outages have been relatively short 00 say four to eight hours. This one is now at about 15 hours....

Colattz seems to be under stress these days it appears difficult to get a full day run there without the database going offline -- as it is again this morning and has been fro a few hours.

Collatz was up for 5 days -- went down this morning -- and still is offline.

It's apparently the same data base crash that has bothered the project periodically for a long time.

Collatz database went down about 5 hours ago (6PM west coast time).

It was steady for three weeks -- hope it bounces back up over the weekend.

OK -- Collatz site in back up, and uploads seem to be working -- but reporting is still not working.

Collatz returned later on the 10th and remained up until early this morning (the 12th).

This time there is no access at all -- not even to a 'data base offline' page.

Collatz went down this morning and remains down toward the end of the day.

Further to Collatz being down -- unlike some of the past outages, this one is complete -- the home page is totally unaccessable. No message saying the server is offline. That's a change from yesterday when it first went offline.

Looks like GPUGrid either has an ISP bobble going on, or a problem with there servers. Started about an hour ago (noon Pacific Coast time).

Well, we did get over 2 weeks of Collatz running before yesterday's outage commenced.

Climate has been down for days -- maintenance I guess.

Thanks -- still offline as of 1:30 PDT

When the site went offline it was in the afternoon back there -- now it is night -- may not get resolved until tomorrow.

Brent, Collatz has been 'yo-yo mode' for the past few *months*.

What is going on there is that it is a one person project -- with limited resources and it has also seen quite a lot of user population growth over the past month - over 3000 new users there.

Frankly, I've been surprised that is has been as stable as it has been over the past several weeks. I expected it to revert to the serious ping pong it was going through November through March.

Perhaps we need a one key macro.

I've taken to considering an easier copy and past post.

"Collatz is down again"


"Collatz is up"


From the traffic that's over on Collatz when it is up, the underlying cause remains a mystery. So the project will continue to ping pong.

As for me, it really has resulted in my running collatz on a short leash with available alternatives increasingly becoming my primaries.

Collatz was running solid this time for a bit longer than it has over the past several months -- almost 10 days before a breakdown.

In the past 3 months it has 'blown up' 11 times. Worst case was over the new year when it was offline for 12 days. Average down time is around 3 days -- though that varies from one day to 12 days.
