Separation Modified Fit Release

We are releasing a new version of separation! This version of separation will be run under a different application name because it runs a modified fit and we would like to be able to work using both the previous and new fits for the time being. If there are any issues with the work units from milkyway_separation__modified_fit please post them here. The following platforms are supported with this update: 32-bit Linux: OpenCL devices with double precision and CPU 64-bit Linux: OpenCL devices with double precision and CPU 64-bit Windows: OpenCL devices with double precision and CPU MacOSX: OpenCL devices with double precision and CPU We hope to add 32-bit Windows support in the near future. Thank you, Jake W

Long Duration SR5 Tasks May Be Prime

... so don't abort them! If you notice that one of your SR5 tasks is running a LOT longer than usual, or even that it went back to 0% after reaching 100% done, DO NOT ABORT IT. You may have found a prime! The test for base 5 Riesel numbers (i.e., of the form k*5^n-1) need to perform a second test if the first test indicates that the number may be prime, and the second test takes three times as long as the first test. SR5 primes can be discussed here.

Test problem (#6) solved!

The key has been found by one of our new users – [AF] zerizno from L'Alliance Francophone Team. Congratulations! Our thanks to all participants! We proceed as usual. Job generation has been stopped. We wait for all results to return before the purging of database. Next, we will update the server code and start the new test with the new application versions. With best regards, The Project Team.

Gravitational Wave S6 LineVeto search (extended) ending

Einstein@Home is slowly but steadily finishing the current Gravitational Wave search. The data used for this search will not be re-used for subsequent searches. This means that our "locality scheduling" won't be as effective as before to keep the download volume low. In this finishing phase you may receive tasks that require you to download 100MB or more to process. If you don't want this to happen, you may suspend the Einstein@Home project for a week or opt-out of that application in your EInstein@Home preferences (on "your account" page). BM

AVG 2013 virus scanner false positive on SETI@home 7 for Windows

The AVG virus scanner heuristic virus detection method reports a false positive for SETI@home version 7.00 on windows. This alert doesn't not indicate an infection with a known virus, but indicates that the application contains code that the virus scanner considers to be suspicious. AVG 2012 apparently does not report any issues. We believe that this alert is related to the method we used to compress the executable in order to save network bandwidth. We are examining how we can resolve the problem. Until then the best strategy is to click "cancel" or "ignore" to the AVG warnings.

SETI@home Version 7 has been released

Your BOINC client should automatically download it in the next few days. No need to abort any current work you are doing. We've released versions for Windows, MacOS and Linux, and four versions for NVIDIA graphics cards running under windows, and versions for ATI graphics card running under Windows and Linux. My thanks to the KWSN/lunatics folks for getting this done and especially to Raistmer, Jason, Josef, Urs, Claggy, Mike, Richard, and too many beta testers to name. Tomorrow I'll post explaining why we wanted version 7 and what's different about the analysis it does.

New group member ... new simulations

Hi guys, I recently disembarked at the multiscale lab attracted by the high-computing facilities you all provide! I am an experience researcher in the structural biology field. My first studies will be devoted to activate apoptotic proteins at atomic resolution, a family of proteins which control cell suicide and therefore are major players in cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.

Lo hemos vuelto a conseguir: CANALBoinc de nuevo se alza con el nº 1 Hispano en Boinc Combinado!!!

Hace casi 5 años se consiguió adelantar al, por aquel entonces nº 1, Catalunya. En aquel momento la plataforma de voluntarios CANALBoinc rondaba los 700 usuarios y se conseguió llegar al nº 1 con una puntuación de 73,5 millones de puntos.

Pero el universo de Boinc evoluciona, avanza y en diciembre de 2009 los integrantes de TitanesDC tomaron el relevo consiguiendo el nº 1.


Hoy, justo en el mes que se celebra el 14º Aniversario de la existencia de CANALBoinc, es recuperado el primer puesto. Conseguimos gracias al trabajo, paciente y diario, de los mas de 2.100 integrantes, provenientes de 13 países de habla hispana, 28 paises a nivel mundial.

Con más de 5.400 millones de puntos, CANALBoinc se situa además entre los 40 mejores equipos del mundo y con mas de 11.000.000 de puntos de RAC


Un hito histórico que demuestra que la unión de equipos y voluntarios de habla hispana es la mejor forma de llevar la ciencia y la colaboración ciudada a todos los rincones del planeta.

Gracias a todos. Felicidades a todos.

New Nathan WUs on long

Hey guys, I have put some new work on the long queue. These workunits are small and don't require any special algorithms, so should be no problems. With these workunits, I'll be looking at the folding of a small peptide using a special force field. The biophysics community uses different force fields to represent the motions of proteins and other molecules, and we are attempting to test a new one so we can check some previous work and feel comfortable in work we are planning to do. Happy crunching. Nate

New Server goes online

Finally we did it! POEM@HOME is now running on new hardware. Hopefully this step will decrease our lately discovered bottlenecks for a long time.

Back

The forums are back. The fancy front page will take a while. As far as I saw, it was a virus injection in the Drupal code that the front page uses. It's taken all this time to take it down as it ran on a server I had no access to. The next thing to do is ask Google to come check our sanity any further. And see what we want to do with the Drupal front page. if anyone has more Drupal knowledge than me, PM me. Of course, if you know how to make a fancy HTML page, your help is also welcome.

Únete y colabora con el proyecto Bindsurf

¿En qué consiste?

Los métodos de Cribado Virtual (CV) pueden ayudar considerablemente en el proceso de descubrimiento de nuevos fármacos y en investigación clínica, prediciendo como los ligandos interaccionan con determinadas dianas terapéuticas. La mayoría de los métodos CV suponen la existencia de un único sitio de unión con la proteína, que normalmente se deriva de la interpretación de la información cristalográfica disponible sobre la proteína. No obstante se ha demostrado que esto es incorrecto y que en muchos casos diferentes ligandos interaccionan con partes distintas de la proteína, y la mayoría de métodos existentes, incluso comerciales, de CV no tienen en cuenta este efecto.

Para solucionar este problema hemos desarrollado BINDSURF, una nueva metodología de CV que analiza detalladamente la superficie de la proteína para encontrar ponteciales zonas de interacción donde los ligandos podrían interaccionar, y que ha sido diseñada e implementada en hardware masivamente paralelo tal como GPU, lo cual permite procesar rápidamente y de manera eficiente grandes librerías de ligandos.

Las predicciones obtenidas con BINDSURF pueden además guiar la aplicación posterior de otros métodos de CV a zonas de la proteína ya caracterizadas por éste método, y por tanto su utilización ayuda en…

S@H version 7.03 released for ATI/AMD GPUs under windows.

Thus far, they are BOINC 7, only. I'm deciding whether it's safe to continue releasing BOINC 6 revisions of ATI apps. X64 Linux versions should be out shortly. There are now two versions. One for HD5000+ cards only and that works on all cards including pre-HD5000 cards. These versions should get delivered to Catalyst version 12.10 and earlier, and Catalyst 13.2 and later. If you've got one of those driver revisions and aren't getting work, let me know.

Currently high server load due to BOINC pentathlon

As announced, SIMAP is marathon discipline in the BOINC Pentathlon organized by seti-germany.de. Many users had pre-calculated lots of results and are submitting them since the start of the pentathlon this morning. This causes a high load on the upload/download server, due to the limits in network and storage bandwidth. However, the whole system is functioning normally and generates continuously new workunits. We expect that the load will reduce soon, however it will remain at a substantial level during the Pentathlon until May 19. cheers Thomas
