LHC@home: Test4Theory

Dears, we're sending 1000 more WUs related to the modeling of neural system. These are named TONI_FAAEAC1 and TONI_FAAEAN1. They should give out 47700.9 and 36228.6 credits respectively. As always, make sure you disable the "acemdlong" app in your GPUGRID preferences if you don't have one of the latest cards. Toni

Journal post from David BakerIn response to requests from many of you, we will be posting descriptions of the many scientific problems currently being tackled with Rosetta@Home on the Science message boards in the next couple of weeks--stay tuned! I also want to describe a new research direction we are now embarking on aimed at future cancer therapies. There are a small set of proteins which are frequently found at much higher levels than normal on the surface of cancer cells. We are starting to design small proteins which bind tightly to these tumor cell markers. If we are successful, we have collaborators who will be testing these proteins for their ability to target cancer cell killing agents to the tumors.

This is the first formal announcement for the new Badge System. Next week, we will unveil the badge images, although the final implementation may still take two or three more weeks. We can already tell you that there will be two types of badges: one for the total number of credits (one badge per user) and one to acknowledge the relative contributions on our publications (one publication, one badge). More soon!

Rosetta@Home software updated to version 3.20. This should fix the graphical issues some users were seeing with version 3.19.

World Community Grid is excited to welcome our two newest partners: [b] CANALBoinc (Aficca) [/b] from [b]Spain![/b] You may find more information about this partner here: [url=http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/team/viewTeamInfo.do?teamId=B1HHX25VRP1] CANAL@Boinc [/url] and [b] TitanesDC [/b] also from [b]Spain![/b] You may find more information about this partner here: ...

We have added BOINC-client shortcuts to commonly-accessed GPUGRID web pages. (Known as Client Web Links or GUI Urls in BOINC lingo.) You should soon see the following buttons appear in the Projects/GPUGRID tab: Your account; Your team (if any); Server state; Donations; Science; Forums. Best wishes for a great year 2012!

En primer lugar...feliz año a todos.

Nos han llegado correos y leo en algún foro (saludos a canal boinc) que hay un usuario que obtiene créditos por workunits con cpu_time=0. Como pone en dicho foro, hay algo muy raro....pero es explicable.

El usuario EDGeS en Ibercivis no posee únicamente una máquina. Básicamente el usuario EDGeS posee un cliente Boinc que recibe las tareas. Al recibirlas, mediante comandos estandard de gLite envía dichas tareas al algún CE (Computing Element) del grid europeo, esto es..."transforma" tareas Boinc en tareas del grid. Estas tareas ya no se ejecutan dentro de un cliente boinc...si no que lo hacen en modo "stand-alone", de ahí que el tiempo de cpu reportado sea 0 segundos.

Espero haber aclarado vuestras dudas.

Saludos.

Gary Craig, a member of Aggie The Pew, was successful in compiling an AVX version of LLR using gwnum v27.2 and LLR v3.8.6dev. We've been testing it for the past week with success. Depending on the LLR project, speed improvements range from 20% to 50%. For more details, please see this post

I've raised the work limit to 20 tasks per GPU to see what happens.

Congratulations to Bruce Dodson (bdodson*) of the United States, the discoverer of PrimeGrid's 9th Prime Fermat Divisor in the Proth Prime Search project: 329*2^1246017+1 Divides F(1246013). This is the 293rd known divisor and the 1st found in 2012. Bruce is a member of the Sicituradastra. team. For more details, please see the official announcement.

Einstein@Home volunteers have discovered another new radio pulsar in Arecibo PALFA data -- the seventh new radio pulsar found by Einstein@Home volunteers in this data set. Congratulations to Alexandr Jungwirth of Prague (Czech Republic) and Administrator of Beijing (China)! Further details about this and our other newly-discovered pulsars can be found on this web page, and will be published in due course. Bruce Allen Director, Einstein@Home
