            <description><![CDATA[A total of 5000 credits have been added to profiles of all active Cosmo@home users. This is meant for expired/failed WUs due to project down-time and to compensate for the earlier low credit per WU payment for resource intensive CAMB 2.16 WUs. Also, the time bound for these new WUs has been incresaed from 10 days to 15 days which should be enough to complete crunching them even on machines ~5 years old.]]></description>

            <title>Apps restored successfully and increase in credits</title>

            <description><![CDATA[We have restored CAMB 2.16 apps successfully for all platforms so all project specific errors (Signature and/or Checksum) should no longer be present. Also, most WUs for camb 2.16 are more resource heavy than the previous WU's for 2.15 so we have increased the credit for each WU from 140 to 200. If there are any disputes about this we will be happy to address them. If you feel that the credit being given for the 2.16 app, WUs is too little/ too much please start a thread related to this on the Wish List message board. Thank you.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[After replacing a damaged RAID drive, the server kept throwing I/O errors and kernel panics, which required us to have the motherboard and RAID controller replaced as well. Hopefully this last round of hardware replacements will solve the problem and we will be back up today.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The Cosmology@home server has been suffering abnormal crashes ever few hours since the campus power outage on March 8, 2009. We will be taking to server offline soon for maintanence and repairs during which time Cosmolosy@home will not run. This website and the forums will also not be accessible at that time. We are working as fast as possible to get the project back up and running to its full potential.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[There had been a power outage at the University of Illinois campus today for approximately 12 hours due to strong winds knocking down large power lines in the county. Due to this some of you may have experienced download problems from Cosmo@home over the course of the day but the power has now been restored and everything should be back to normal. If someone still experiences problems please let us know through the forums. Thank you.]]></description>

            <title>Test parameter file generator fixed</title>
            <link>http://www.cosmologyathome.org/all_news.php#64</link>
            <guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.cosmologyathome.org/all_news.php#64</guid>
            <description><![CDATA[A problem which was causing the test parameter file generator to output empty parameter files has been corrected. I just tested a new test WU on my machine and it seems to be working file. I'll be creating another 500 WUs to test the app on other architectures. The credit for these WUs (excluding the 5 that I just made to test whether parameter file generation was working correctly) will be 3 times the normal amount.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[We're in the process of debugging the test app. There will periodically be test WUs released in small batches to test the new app version. The new WUs should require lower accuracy and should complete more quickly than the last batch.
        Credit will be given out for successfully completed WUs (that is, WUs without errors). However, we'd like to remind everybody that credit is not guaranteed for test WUs. Test WUs help us to release new versions of CAMB and keep C@H going; be aware, however, that these WUs can (and often do) fail, so if you would rather crunch regular WUs and not have to deal with the hassle of failed WUs, then disable test work in your project preferences. Crunching test WUs will never be compulsory. That being said, however, we will make every effort to reward users who donate their CPU time to help us test.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[A new test application has been released and 500 test WUs created. Please enable test work in your project preferences if you would like to help us test this new version so we can put it into production.]]></description>
