We finished our science database merge (consolidating all data from Classic SETI@home and SETI@home/BOINC) and are back online serving workunits. Our servers may be overly busy trying to create/send work for a day or two. More information in Technical News.
数据库合并已完成。我们正重新开始提供WU。在这几天的时间里，我们的服务器可能因制造或送出wu而超负荷运作。详细请见技术新闻

BOINC lets you mix in other scientific computing with SETI@home. For example, check out SIMAP, a new project from the Technical University of Munich. SIMAP calculate similarities between proteins. It provides a public database of the resulting data, which plays a key role in many bioinformatics research projects.

BOINC平台使得用户除了SETI还可以同时运行其它项目，比如SIMAP，来自慕尼黑技术大学的新项目。其研究内容为分析蛋白质的相似性。其研究结果将公开，并将在生物信息研究中发挥重要作用。

SIMAP calculate similarities between proteins, and supplies the resulting data to many bioinformatics research projects. Or join the SZTAKI Desktop Grid, from the MTA-SZTAKI Laboratory of Parallel and Distributed Systems in Budapest, Hungary, which is attempting to find all the generalized binary number systems.

还是拉用户的新闻，就不翻译了，这次是SZTAKI项目：）

BOINC and Climateprediction.net have joined forces with the BBC to launch a new experiment, a full simulation of climate change from 1920 to 2080, described on a BBC television documentary Meltdown (BBC-4, February 20th, for UK BOINCers). SETI@home participants can attach to http://bbc.cpdn.org (be warned that a 160-year climate simulation is a long workunit even by Climateprediction.net's extravagant standards).

BOINC和CPDN已经和BBC联合发起了一项新的实验 － 从1920年到2080年的气候的完全模拟。这项实验将在BBC的节目中被介绍（4台，2月20日，仅英国）。SETI用户可以直接加入到http://bbc.cpdn.org。必须注意到160年的气候模拟即便是以CPDN的标准来说也是一个很长的任务。

Tuesday (February 14) around 18:00 UTC we'll have a 3 hour outage to reconfigure our download storage array. The data servers will be offline during this time.

UTC时间2月14日18:00将停机三小时以重新配置下载用的存储设备阵列。

BOINCcast is the first German Podcast about BOINC. Weekly episodes of 5 minutes length will explain Distributed Computing and the Goals of BOINC to the German public, and will present and explain the projects that use BOINC.

一个关于BOINC及相关项目的podcast（德语）。

Our master science database is still recovering from an unexpected power outage yesterday morning. More in Technical News.

主科学数据库仍在恢复中（原因是昨天上午的意外断电）。详细请看技术新闻。

February 28, 2006 - 21:15 UTC
We had a planned outage today to remove a couple more items from the server closet (the Classic SETI@home data server and several large, heavy disk arrays which contained the old science database). In order to safely do so, we wanted to power down several important machines so they wouldn't accidentally get bumped and go down ungracefully.
The Bay Area is having a rough winter, and a storm today brought lightning which knocked out power to the entire campus, including our lab, around 8am. Most of the servers went down without a hitch. And with the power off anyway we went ahead and cleaned up the closet as planned. We can now get behind the racks again without painful contortion.

Powering up the entire network is painful, as servers need to revive in a set order, and many hidden mounting issues come to light (that only get tickled by a reboot). Plus some drives needed some fsck'ing. Everything eventually booted up just fine, except for the master science database.

One of the fibre channel loops disappeared on this particular server. Bad cable? Bad GBIC? Not sure just yet, as the terminal wasn't working well enough to give us all the boot diagnostics. We hooked up a laptop and fought with hyperterm to see these messages, but by the time we got that working the machine booted just fine for no explicable reason... but all the metadevices needed to be resynced. This resync could take up to 24 hours, during which the master science database will be down. That means no splitting and no assimilating, and we'll probably run out of work to send before too long. Oh well.

为什么下载V的更新时间X那么慢

我的已经断粮有两天了！！我的信息全是No work from project
听说BOINC的SETI要结束了是真的吗

不是吧?我刚刚才装好两台....

March 2, 2006 - 21:15 UTC
So it turns out the master database storage arrays had three drive failures during the long and thorough RAID resync process. We had two hot spares and a spare drive on the shelf. This, along with the fact that the array was RAID 10, means that we shouldn't have lost any data, but the resync process took extra time to do deal with these lost drives.
Why did we lose so many drives? These are old storage arrays donated to us a while ago, and the disks came with heavy wear and tear. We already had several other disks fail in this system so this is no big surprise. Once everything is resync'ed (in about 20 minutes from the time of writing) we'll start up the master database, check its tables (which may take as long as 24 hours), do some other hardware testing, and if all is well start up the assimilators/splitters again. If not, we might be out for an extra day as we continue to clean up.

结束是没有的事，主要是又发现故障，硬盘老旧磨损严重，需要更换镜像，再等24小时

反正這段期間就跑跑別的東西吧...
不過話說PrimeGrid也已經好幾天沒有工作拿了.....

Our master science database recovered from an unexpected power outage Tuesday morning, but we are still in the process of thoroughly checking the data.

2006年3月3日
我们的主数据库已经从周二早晨的一次意外停电故障中恢复了。
但我们仍然在彻底的检查数据中。。。

March 4, 2006
Our master science database has been checked and is OK. We are (as of yesterday evening) sending out new work.

2006年3月4日
我们的主数据库已检查完毕，运行正常。
从昨晚开始已经陆续发送新的工作了。

刚拿到一个WU
