总觉得现在算这个项目意义不大,一方面是计算力不缺,然后刚看了下官方的论坛,似乎项目也就两个人在管,而且这两个人的主要工作还是在lhc那边,论坛里关于项目情况的一些提问也往往得不到项目方的回答(管理人员的答复如下),另外,32位windows平台的计算程序也还是将近三年前发布的。期望lhc跑起来后这个项目会有新的进展吧。

Key word is professional here.
LHC@home is not our job and neither Alex nor I are paid to do this (there is no money for the project fullstop) we have to squeeze it in along with all our various preparations for the actual LHC's turn on later this year.
Also when a student approaches you he has no record of previous conversations you have had with students, here there is a whole board of people asking the same question "I have a WU pending for so long", "why is there no work" etc etc and these are all answered by some lovely users (we appreciate their patience) despite the fact that they have already answered the question numerous times.
To change your analogy what if a student asked a question in your lecture which you have just explained (fair enough) which you clearly explain again, then 2 minutes later in the same lecture another student asks the same identical question which you again explain, now imagine every student in your lecture asking that question one after another seemingly unaware that you have just answered that question n times.
We can't be on here answering those questions all the time but those lovely users mentioned above help us (again thank you to them) and answer the questions every single time. |
