FightAIDS@Home suspended on BOINC [Resolved]

It appears that a set of workunits within the batch 1593 appears to be causing results returned to be different on each computer. We are suspending FightAIDS@Home until we can understand what is going on. We should know more within the next hour or two.

We have talked to Scripps and the workunits for batches 1593, 1594, 1595, 1596 and 1597 contain data that is causing problems. We have only sent out batch 1593 and part of 1594. We will suspend the remaining work remaining of this set and not send it out. The next set of work that we have to send us been checked and it should be fine.

We are looking at how to grant credit for all the work that has been returned. We should have a solution for that shortly. Once we have granted that credit we will be able to resume sending out work (we have to wait until credit is granted otherwise the inconclusive batches will send out additional work).

The validator for FightAIDS@Home is back on and once it has caught up with the backlog of FightAIDS@Home workunits that need validation we will be able to start sending out FightAIDS@Home work again.

The reason that we are waiting is because there are about 1000 additional copies of FightAIDS@Home that are waiting to be sent out that are part of the bad batches. Once the workunits are validated, they will automatically be prevented from being sent out. I expect this to only take another 2 hours.

Some users asked if they should abort the FightAIDS@Home workunits. If you have a workunit that starts with:

faah1593
or
faah1594

feel free to abort it. You are only crunching those for credit.

Unfortunately we have no mechanism to abort them for you without also denying users credit for all the work that has already been performed.

FightAIDS@Home has been re-enabled. Members can now receive good work for the project.

大意:
最近一批FAAH任务出现问题(数据错误)。官方曾暂停了任务发放(现已恢复)。
注意:如果你的任务有以faah1593或faah1594开头的任务,请立即手工结束它。官方不会给予这些任务积分(要白算)。

Genome Comparison project near completion
Thanks to our members for their generous contribution to the Genome Comparison project which is very near completion. This weekend we expect to see the steady outflow of work units on this project go down to a trickle as we finish the last remaining batches of work. Within about 3 weeks, all of the final results should be in and returned to the researchers and at that time no further work units will need to be sent for this phase of the project. However, there may be some future point in time at which we revive this project when more sequenced genes become available for comparison.

We will soon be sending a news email about this project's completion along with news about other recent project completions and provide more information about future projects launching soon on World Community Grid.

Some of you who have set your preferences to only contribute to this project will find that your agent may go into a paused state. If that is the case, we encourage you to change your settings to contribute to the other projects. At some point we may reset the preferences for users contributing only to the Genome Comparison project back to the default of contributing to all projects, so that their agents do not become totally idle.

The researchers will be providing more information about this project's results soon. Thank you again for your spare computer cycles which have made this project possible!

100,000 Years of Run-Time and 100,000,000 Results Returned!

On July 7th we crossed two significant milestones. Our virtual community of World Community Grid volunteers has reached an outstanding 100,000 years of run time that has provided over 100,000,000 results to research scientists to help in the fight against cancer, muscular dystrophy, AIDS and other types of disease!

The power provided by our members has resulted in the completion of four projects:

Human Proteome Folding Phase 1
Help Defeat Cancer
Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy
Genome Comparison

World Community Grid's community continues to supply compute power for the FightAIDS@Home and Human Proteome Folding Phase 2 projects and in the next few months we will launch additional projects on flaviviruses, climate modeling and cancer.

A heartfelt congratulations to all the members who have made this incredible achievement possible!

World Community Grid has reached the 100,000 years of run time mark! THANK YOU to all our volunteers who have enabled us to reach this amazing milestone! Because of your contributions, results on critical health issues have already been achieved, demonstrating World Community Grid's potential to make significant inroads on a great range of future projects that can benefit the world.

World Community Grid also is pleased to announce that the Fiocruz Genome Comparison (FGC) project is finished. The last work units have been sent out and when the final results are returned, the project will come to an end. This project, which launched on November 16, 2006, will have run for just over 8 months by the time the last results are returned. During this time 146,000 members will have donated 3,800 years of computer time on 280,000 different computers. This is a significant contribution to helping scientists better understand human genes, how they play a role in disease processes, and ultimately in understanding how to devise drugs to combat human diseases.

But the end of this project is really only a beginning. Based on the results, the researchers who are working on this project have a plan to not only use this data, but to also make it available to other researchers. World Community Grid's team will keep in close touch with the research team and will post updates on the website in the Research pages. The researchers will also continue to update their FGC website with exciting updates about this project and the inroads it is making to research.

We still need your help with other ongoing projects! World Community Grid continues to run the FightAIDS@Home and Human Proteome Folding - Phase II projects. These critical research projects need your computer time as well.

We also are preparing three new projects that are due to be launched later this summer, including ones focused on flaviviruses, climate modeling, and cancer. We will publish more information about these projects when they launch.

On behalf of the research staff at Fiocruz, in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, World Community Grid's team wish to express our thanks to you for contributing your PC power to this project. With your contribution, this project was completed in a fraction of the time it would otherwise have taken.

IMPORTANT: If you have elected to participate only in the Fiocruz Genome Comparison project, you must take some action to prevent your World Community Grid agent from sitting idle on your PC. Please sign in to the World Community Grid website, and from the "My Grid" page, select the "My Projects" link from the menu on the left. From the "My Projects" page, select one or more of the other projects in which you choose to participate. If no action is taken within the next 3 weeks, we will set your default to "Participate in All Projects". You will then be automatically enrolled to participate in the next cancer research project when it is launched in July or August

Shortening workunit length on BOINC

We wanted to let you know that in a couple of days you will start to receive workunits on BOINC that are shorter then the current set of workunits. Due to the end of the Genome Comparison project, a number of smaller computers were not able to complete the larger workunits from the other projects by the deadline. This change will allow those computers to contribute.

Currently the global average run time for a FightAIDS@Home workunit on BOINC has been about 7.3 hours while the average run time for a Human Proteome Folding Phase 2 workunit has been around 9.6 hours. After this change we hope to see the average run length on both projects at around 6 hours.

In additional we are increasing the deadline for Human Proteome Folding - Phase 2 workunits to 11 days from the current 9 days. FightAIDS@Home will continue to have a deadline of 9 days.

thank you for your continued support of World Community Grid

将BOINC平台上任务缩小

因为最近Genome Comparison项目结束,有很多慢机器,因为计算速度有限,所以无法按时完成任务。故几天内我们将把现有任务缩小。

当前FightAIDS@Home的平均计算时间是7.3小时;Human Proteome Folding Phase 2的平均计算时间是9.6小时。我们将全部调至6小时。

同时Human Proteome Folding - Phase 2的期限将由9天延至11天。FightAIDS@Home还是保持9天,不变。

Release of new FightAIDS@Home application versions on BOINC  

We are approaching the point where we will be releasing the new application version of FightAIDS@Home. This will occur mid to late next week.

This transition will be a little bumpy due to the fact that the workunits we are currently running with the current version of the FightAIDS@Home application can cause the new version to experience errors and compute incorrect results. Additionally, the workunits that work with the new application version will not run correctly under the old application version. This means that we need to ensure that all of the workunits built to run under the old application version are completed and validated prior to the change.

In order to make the transition as quick as possible we will be doing the following steps:

1) As of now, FightAIDS@Home workunits sent out will have a deadline of 4 days instead of the current 9 day deadline.

2) Starting on late Saturday and early Sunday, workunits sent out will have a deadline of 2 days.

Sometime, most likely early on Wednesday, the final workunits for the current FightAIDS@Home application version will be sent out. At that time, there will be times where no work is available for FightAIDS@Home.

In order to minimize this time, we will take steps to get those workunits validated quickly.

All members are reminded that they can check the box 'If there is no work available for my computer for the projects I have selected above, please send me work from another project (this option only applies to BOINC agents).' on the My Projects page so that they can ensure that they receive work even if we are temporarily not sending work for FightAIDS@Home.

Once the new application version is released, we will return to normal 9 day deadlines. There will be one additional positive change to processing - we will be reducing the redundancy to 2 instead of 3 for the workunits. This will allow us to complete nearly 50% more workunits with the same number of devices participating.
大意:
发布BOINC平台新版FightAIDS@Home计算内核

下周中晚期我们将发布新版FightAIDS@Home计算内核。

不过转换很麻烦,因为新版计算内核和当前的版本完全不兼容,所以我们要保证当前任务都算完、校验完,才能开始转换工作。

为了保证转换的快捷与顺利,我们采取了以下措施:
1、从现在起FightAIDS@Home任务期限由9天减至4天。
2、本周日起,任务期限再减至2天。

如果一切顺利,下周三早上,当前任务会发放完毕。

为了加快转换进度,我们也会加快任务校验的速度。

提醒大家到网站上,把“My Projects”里的'If there is no work available for my computer for the projects I have selected above, please send me work from another project (this option only applies to BOINC agents).'选上。这样当FAAH没任务了,你还可以下到HPF2的任务,以免电脑空转,浪费计算量。

一旦新版计算内核发布,我们会把任务期限恢复至9天。还有个好消息,我们会把任务冗余度由3降至2。这样我们的整体计算速度可以加快50%。

Update of the AutoDock research code for FightAIDS@home project  

We are happy to announce that we are upgrading the AutoDock research code used for the FightAIDS@Home project. The new code uses more efficient algorithms which run faster, produce more accurate, can model flexibility in target molecules, and thus can be used for protein - protein interactions. These improvements will allow us to use this code in other upcoming research projects, one to be launched very soon. Details about the AutoDock improvements can be found here: http://autodock.scripps.edu/wiki/NewFeatures

The testing of the new AutoDock code is nearly complete. Meanwhile we will be finishing up certain batches of work units using the old code and then switch to the new code. The data formats used for the new code are slightly different so we need to run the old work units to completion before starting the new work units. Thus, there will be a short period of time during which FightAIDS@Home work units will not be sent out as we convert to the new code and new data. If your preferences are set to run only the FightAIDS@Home project, you may see that your agent is paused for some amount of time. We do not expect this to be much longer than one day, and perhaps just hours. This may happen at different times for the UD agents vs the BOINC agents and we expect it to happen some time the week of August 6 to 15, 2007. No action is required on the part of members. Forgive us for any inconvenience this might cause you and thank you for your patience and contribution.
大意:
FightAIDS@home项目代码更新

改进了算法,提高了结果准确性,加入了新功能。即将开始的一个新项目也将使用它做计算内核。详细更新列表见:
http://autodock.scripps.edu/wiki/NewFeatures

新代码内测已基本结束。由于与当前任务完全不兼容,所以要等当前任务全部算完才会发布新内核和新任务(预期在8月6~15号)。故近期FightAIDS@Home项目会暂时断粮。

译者注:希望新版本能把资源占用降下来,当前WCG的项目都是资源占用大户啊!我的破机子根本没法参加,郁闷啊!

Release of new FightAIDS@Home application versions on BOINC

At long last we have released the new versions of the FightAIDS@Home application on BOINC. Everyone will automatically receive the new version the next time you get work for the project so no action is required on the members part.

This also means that we have gone back to the 9 day deadlines for FightAIDS@Home.

Thank you for your patience during this change.

Launch of Discovering Dengue Drugs - Together Project  

World Community Grid is pleased to launch the Discover Dengue Drugs - Together project by The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) in Galveston, Texas, USA and the University of Chicago in Illinois, USA. The mission of Discovering Dengue Drugs – Together is to identify promising drug leads to combat the related dengue, hepatitis C, West Nile, and Yellow fever viruses. The extensive computing power of World Community Grid will be used to complete the structure-based drug discovery calculations required to identify these leads. Students from Lanier Middle School (Houston, Texas, USA) graciously contributed their original writings for this project's screen saver. These writings contemplate how to make our world better, a goal of this project and World Community Grid. For additional information on this project, please press the Research button in the upper navigation bar or click here.

In addition to providing information about this project, we have created a forum for discussions about the Discover Dengue Drugs - Together project. To participate in this forum, please press the Forums button in the upper navigation bar or click here. Only forum authors with the title "Discovering Dengue Drugs - Together Scientist" are authorized to comment as representatives of the research organization: The University of Texas Medical Branch (Galveston, TX).

The Discover Dengue Drugs - Together project is the seventh research project to be launched on World Community Grid and one of three projects currently active. The other two active research projects are FightAIDS@Home, which has been running on since November of 2005, and Human Proteome Folding Phase 2 which has been running since July of 2006. For more detailed information and FAQs about each of these projects, please press the Research button in the upper navigation bar or click here. We thank all of our members for all of their valuable contributions to the projects to date and hope you will continue to help us process those as well as this latest project.

Because there are three research projects running on World Community Grid, your grid agent could receive work units from any of the projects. You may elect to focus your computer's time on only particular projects, if you have a preference. To do so, press the My Grid button in the upper navigation bar and select My Projects or click here.

If you are already a member of World Community Grid, running the BOINC version of our software, there's nothing that you have to do to prepare for the Discover Dengue Drugs - Together project. The next time your grid agent communicates with the servers, it will send you a work unit from one of the projects at random for which your machine meets the minimum requirements and according to your project participation election preference. To know which project you are running, please double-click on World Community Grid icon in the system tray, and you will see the title of the project in the display. If you are running the United Devices version of our software, you may migrate to the BOINC version of our software, by following the instructions here.

If you have any questions, World Community Grid provides you with four methods of obtaining assistance: (1) Review the FAQs found in the Help section of the website, (2) Review the forums to see if anyone has asked/answered the question that you have, (3) Ask the question in an appropriate World Community Grid forum found here and a Community Advisor or a more experienced member will provide an answer, and (4) Send an email to the support desk from the Contact Us link found at the bottom of every page of the website (except in the forums).

We thank you for running the Discover Dengue Drugs - Together project.
