News on the future of MLC@Home (the BOINC portion) available below. TL;DR: We're shutting down for now, because we've completed all our desired research goals! 🎉

Until new experiments are proposed, we'll be archiving the project. #ML #boinc

[MLC@Home @MLCHome2]

We've back!

[MLC@Home @MLCHome2]

MLC's server suffered a hard drive failure today and will need a day or two to recover and restore from backups. It isn't believed any actual data was lost, but we're still investigating. Sit tight! #boinc

[MLC@Home @MLCHome2]

MLC@Home is proud to announce the immediate availability of our DS3 dataset, consisting of over 1 million trained neural networks for manifold and parameter space analysis #boinc #ml #NeuralNetworks #torrent

[MLC@Home @MLCHome2]

MLC@Home is entering an analysis phase and WU generation will be burst-y and inconsistent for a few months. But we are *not* shutting down! Read more at https://t.co/RSc9n8ay2U . #boinc

MLC@Home is proud to announce that our volunteers have completed the project's DS2 milestone, and the immediate availability of all DS1 and DS2 datasets for download! #boinc #ml #NeuralNetworks

[MLC@Home @MLCHome2]

We're back, and should be set for a while longer now until a more permanent solution can be put in place. Until then, happy crunching!

[MLC@Home @MLCHome2]

It's been a while since our last update, but MLC's been chugging away, with DS2 at 99%, and DS4 WUs out in testing. Expect a new news update before the end of the month.

Today we ran into a little glitch with disk space, but should be back up within the hour. #boinc

[MLC@Home @MLCHome2]

...and we're back!

[MLC@Home @MLCHome2]

MLC@Home's network will be going down in an hour or so for some brief preventative maintenance. The website and project site will be inaccessible, but should be back within an hour or so. Will update here when completed! #boinc

🗞��[TMIM Notes] Oct 23 2021🗞️
MLC@Home is out with a long overdue update! Information on DS3 analysis, a server glitch, client updates and DS4.

[MLC@Home @MLCHome2]

Coming back online now. New/fixed WUs flowing again, but the post-mortem continues on our end to make sure this doesn't happen again. Note it may take several days for existing WUs to work their way through the system. #boinc

[MLC@Home @MLCHome2]

We're aware of the current issue with WUs coming from the server.. this is a server-side issue, nothing a user has done (aka, our fault, not yours!). We're triaging and working on a fix. Thanks for your patience. #boinc

[MLC@Home @MLCHome2]

Dataset 1 is now complete! Download links coming soon, along with DS3, which is also complete. DS2 now crunching, and DS4 will begin soon! #milestone #boinc

[MLC@Home @MLCHome2]

@TheBoinc Highlights of v9.9x changelog:

- Statically linked binary for Linux (no more AppImage)
- DS4 support! (CNN and Dense networks)
- Better NaN handling
- Update to libTorch 1.9
- Wrapper instead of BOINC native API

[MLC@Home @MLCHome2]

Tracking an issue with memory usage on the new client causing failures. Temporarily bumped minimum memory requirements per WU as a workaround while we debug.

[MLC@Home @MLCHome2]

All complete. Other than a misconfigured minimum memory limit for a few WUs (now fixed) we're back to normal operating cadence. Now to port the GPU clients....

[MLC@Home @MLCHome2]

We're updating to a new client version tonight that's incompatible with the current crop of WUs, so expect some inconsistent availability of WUs over the next 24 hours as we transition.

[MLC@Home @MLCHome2]

We've hit over 10,000 separate computers crunching away to help us understand machine learning models!
