Does anyone know what's going on at MilkyWay@Home?  Their site is down and I have w/u that are more than a week old that haven't been reported.

Sort of confusing. There was

Sort of confusing. There was a student hacking competition at Renselleer that I don't think had anything to do with the network hack which is why milkyway seems to be down. They have been very quiet about what happened. The specialists from GOV are helping find n fix. I can't believe that would be necessary if it was a school body hacking and students did it for first place in the competition. Must be coincidental.

I run milkyway N-Body with my CPU's and I also have a LOT of tasks finished that time out on the 19th.

What I can find is on university facebook site. That is all I know. Almost nothing.

I know running Milkyway N-body makes einstein gammaray run faster on some of my rigs GPU's and I miss it!!!

I wish them a speedy and complete return to normal.

Work runs fine on Bosons reacted into Fermions,

Sunny regards,

I believe RPI, Renneslear PolyTech Inst, the home of MW does work for the GOV too so they could just be assisting to make sure their stuff is still okay and keep it that way.
