Launch of the Nutritious Rice for the World Project

World Community Grid is pleased to launch the Nutritious Rice for the World project by the University of Washington's Computational Biology Research Group, Seattle, Washington, USA. The mission of the Nutritious Rice for the World project is to predict the structure of proteins of major strains of rice. The intent is to help farmers develop better rice strains with higher crop yields, promote greater disease and pest resistance, and utilize a full range of bioavailable nutrients that can benefit those people in regions where hunger is a critical concern.

Project Badge
If a member contributes a minimum of 14 days of CPU Run Time to this project, they will receive a Nutritious Rice for the World badge on their member statistics page and next to their member name when they post in the forums. There is a different badge for each research project and beta testing. To read more about badges, click here.

Forums
In addition to providing information about this project, we have created a forum for discussions about the Nutritious Rice for the World 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 "Nutritious Rice for the World -Scientist" are authorized to comment as representatives of the research organization: University of Washington (Seattle, Washington, USA).

Project Participation
Nutritious Rice for the World is the tenth research project to be launched on World Community Grid and one of six projects currently active. The other five active research projects are: Help Conquer Cancer (launched November, 2007), AfricanClimate@Home (launched August, 2007), Discover Dengue Drugs – Together (launched August, 2007), Human Proteome Folding - Phase 2 (launched July, 2006) and FightAIDS@Home (launched November, 2005). For more detailed information and FAQs about each of these projects, please click on the Research button in the upper navigation bar or click here. We thank all of our members for 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 six 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. Please note that members were not automatically opted in to the AfricanClimate@Home project due to the computationally intensive code. To read more specifics on the system requirements for Nutritious Rice for the World and the other projects, 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 Nutritious Rice for the World 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.

To contribute to the Nutritious Rice for the World project, you will need to be running the BOINC software rather than the United Devices software. If you are running the United Devices version of our software, you should use this occasion to migrate to the BOINC software so that you may participate in all current and future research projects. You may migrate to BOINC by following the instructions here. Migrating is easy and takes less than 5 minutes. The install process even uninstalls the UD software for you automatically. As you know, World Community Grid is migrating fully to BOINC and will no longer support UD after June 30, 2008. For more information about the BOINC migration, click here.

Questions?
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; or (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).

Thank you!

200,000,000 Result Announcement

World Community Grid is very excited that very soon the number of Results Returned from member computers will reach 200,000,000. This means that since the launch of World Community Grid, every second of every minute, approximately 2 to 3 results are returned to World Community Grid from our members to help humanity.

A very sincere THANK YOU goes to you, the World Community Grid volunteers. Your contributions are helping to make a significant difference in the way researchers are finding solutions to benefit humanity.

To celebrate the 200,000,000 result event, A Team Challenge has been started: THE 200 MILLIONTH RESULT RACE: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.or ... do?challengeId=1381

In addition, we are going to do the following:

1. The member who returns the 200 millionth result will receive a World Community Grid t-shirt and a Thank You certificate.
2. If the member who returns the 200 millionth result is part of a team, the team captain of that team will also receive a World Community Grid t-shirt and a Thank You certificate for their assistance in rallying support.
3. The team captain of the team that wins “THE 200 MILLIONTH RESULT RACE” challenge will receive a World Community Grid t-shirt and a Thank You certificate for their assistance in rallying support.
4. The member name of the winners will be posted on this thread unless they wish to remain anonymous.

When the 200 millionth result is returned, we will notify the winning member via email and ask for their permission to post their member name on the website so that everyone may know who won. The same process will be followed for the winning team captains. The member names of the winners will be posted as an attachment to this Member News post and on the What’s New on the home page.

If the winners do not respond within 7 days, or have an invalid email address, then the member who returned the 200,000,001 result will be the winner (and so on until we identify a member who responds).

We hope that this event will be fun and we thank everyone for every result that has been returned. All of your combined contributions have made World Community Grid a success by advancing humanitarian research.

THANK YOU!!!!!

Note: World Community Grid support people, including CA’s, are not eligible to win.

Long Running FightAIDS@Home Workunits

Thanks to member feedback, we have identified several batches of data that contain workunits that are running on average 4-5 times longer then we normally try to size them.

The workunits impacted have a name that starts with the following:

faah5000
faah5001
faah5002
faah5003
faah5004
faah5005
faah5006
faah5007
faah5008
faah5009
faah5010
faah5011
faah5012
faah5013
faah5014
faah5015
faah5016
faah5017

There is nothing wrong with the workunits, they are just bigger than normal. Please allow them to run and complete.

We have modified the deadline for these workunits so that they have an extra week to finish. In other words, these workunits now have a deadline of 19 days instead of the normal 12 days. You can check to see if your deadline has been extended by visiting https://secure.worldcommunitygri ... lts.do?projectId=11

Unfortunately, we cannot send the information about the extended deadline to the software on your computer. As a result, when the original deadline expires the software will give you a warning that you may not get credit. This will be misleading and we encourage you to check the information on the website to see if the real deadline is approaching or not.

Also - please note that you will receive your full credit for these workunits. People with fast machines who are already starting to get credit are reporting that they are receiving credit proportional to the increased run time.
大意:
最近不小心放了一批FightAIDS@Home大包,我们现在已经把他们的期限由12天,延长至19天。
不过客户端显示的还是12天,到时候客户端可能会提示你‘过期,可能会白算’,不过服务器端已经调整了,绝不会白算的。
当然任务的积分我们肯定也会相应提高,对于已经给分的,我们会手工加的,请大家放心。

Technical support of Windows 98 ends August 1, 2008

Effective August 1, 2008, the World Community Grid technical staff will no longer provide support for Windows 98. We are taking this action because less than 0.03% of all computers on World Community Grid are running on Windows 98 and we feel that our resources need to be focused on supporting existing and new research projects.

If you are running Windows 98 as your operating system, you will still be able to run World Community Grid and contribute to humanitarian research. However, if you have a problem, you should not expect to receive a response to your Windows 98 question from the "Contact Us" mailbox. Assistance in the forums may be available as long as other members continue to respond to Windows 98 questions.

All of the current research projects were tested for Windows 98. Therefore Windows 98 users should be able to continue to run on that platform depending on their specific configuration of software. This means that Windows 98 users should be able to participate in World Community Grid research for at least one more year.

Going forward, none of the new research projects will be certified for Windows 98.

Thank you for your understanding and your continued support of World Community Grid.

200,000,000th Result Returned!

World Community Grid is excited to announce that the 200,000,000th result was returned on August 20th, 2008 at 17:00:55 UTC!

项目已经完成2亿个任务单元!

This is a huge achievement made possible only by the generous contribution of computer time from our members. We sincerely appreciate your involvement in the science and research that is being performed at World Community Grid. Details about the 200,000,000 result are:

Result Name: lw417_00021_19
Project: Human Proteome Folding - Phase 2
Cpu Time: 5.0 hours
Points: 542

第2亿个计算结果的详细信息,是在北京时间21号凌晨1点左右上报的。

We are currently getting in contact with the individual who returned this result. Once we have talked to them and obtained their permission, then we will be able to provide information about the member and team captain who will receive the prize as outlined in this post: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.or ... thread?thread=21453

正在和上传那个计算结果的用户联系。

We still have a few days left to go in the 200,000,000 Team Challenge. Once that challenge is complete we will award the prize in that competition.

In addition to crossing the 200,000,000 results level, we also crossed the 180,000 years of run time returned. This means that each of those 200,000,000 results has averaged a run time of 7.9 hours.

Thank you all for your outstanding contribution.

Now - onward to 300,000,000!

下一个目标3亿~

FA@H & DDDT Single Redundancy Change  
Aug 7, 2008 4:05:21 PM
Greetings all,

The changes to make Discovering Dengue Drugs - Together have been completed and everything is running well at this time.

Around August 18th, the change to single redundancy for FightAIDS@Home will begin. This means that the next week following August 18th members may notice no work being available if they have FA@H as the only project selected. The advantage of this switch will allow the grid to run more efficiently as we were sending out 2.1 work units for every result. This should go down to about 1.2 by our estimations. This will allow us to process more work units for the researchers by using the same amount of processing power. An added benefit is that members will also have their results validated quicker.

We have delayed the initial change to single redundancy for FA@H due to some long work units that were needed to be completed using the old method before we can switch to Single Redundancy.

Thank you for your patience as we switch the system to single redundancy.

(Please note this is the same change that has happened to Discovering Dengue Drugs - Together, and there is quite a bit of information about the change details in this thread. https://secure.worldcommunitygri ... thread?thread=21397 )

Here is the original post about the FightAIDS@Home change. As noted above this has been delayed. https://secure.worldcommunitygri ... thread?thread=21476

Aug 21, 2008 5:40:12 PM
Greetings again,

The date for the FightAIDS@Home move to single redundancy has been pushed back a few days due to work units in the queue taking longer than I had estimated. We are currently on track to send out the last of the new batches for FA@H multiple redundancy around the 23rd or 24th of August. This means that the week following this, members may encounter no work available for this project if they have FightAIDS@Home selected as their only project.

Thank you for your continued support towards World Community Grid and all of the projects!

Aug 24, 2008 8:24:06 PM
The last of the 'new' dual redundancy work has been sent to members. At this point the work available to send to members for FightAIDS@Home is additional copies being generated by the system in order to complete in progress workunits.

In about 48 hours or so, we will do the first round of 'over scheduling' to finish of the remaining workunits for FightAIDS@Home.

About 48 hours after that we will do a second round, followed by a third round about 48 hours after that.

Based on our previous experiences, we should be a position to release the new version of the research application at that point. Once we do, we will be able to load in new work that will be sent out using the same method that we are currently using for DDDT.

Thank you for your patience during the transition - and please be assured that there is PLENTY of work left to be done for FightAIDS@Home.


FightAIDS@Home now running Single Redundancy
Sep 2, 2008 4:33:02 PM
World Community Grid is proud to announce that the FightAIDS@Home project is now running with Single Redundancy. The advantage of this switch is that it will allow the grid to run more efficiently. Before the change, we were sending out 2.1 work units for every result. Now, this should go down to about 1.2 by our estimations. This will allow us to process more work units for the researchers by using the same amount of processing power. An added benefit is that members will also have their results validated quicker.

A Workshop on Humanities Applications for World Community Grid
Sep 2, 2008 4:39:31 PM
IBM Presents: A Workshop on Humanities Applications for
World Community Grid

On October 6, 2008, IBM will be sponsoring a free one-day workshop in Washington, DC on high performance computing (HPC) for humanities and social science research.

This workshop is aimed at digital humanities scholars, computer scientists working on humanities applications, library information professionals, and others who are involved in humanities and social science research using large digital datasets. The session will be hosted by IBM computer scientists who will conduct a hands-on session describing how high performance computing systems like IBM’s World Community Grid can be used for humanities research.

The workshop is intended to be much more than just a high-level introduction. There will be numerous technical demonstrations and opportunities for participants to discuss potential HPC projects. Topics will include: how to parallelize your code; useful tools and utilities; data storage and access; and a technical overview of World Community Grid architecture.

Brett Bobley and Peter Losin from the Office of Digital Humanities at the National Endowment for the Humanities have been invited to discuss some of the NEH's grant opportunities for humanities projects involving high performance computing.

If attendees are already involved in projects that involve heavy computation, they are encouraged to bring sample code, data, and outputs so that they can speak with IBM scientists about potential next steps for taking advantage of high performance computing. While the demonstrations will be using World Community Grid, our hope is that attendees will learn valuable information that could also be applied to other HPC platforms.

The workshop will be held from 10 AM – 3 PM on October 6, 2008 at the IBM Institute for Electronic Government at 1301 K Street, NW, Washington, DC, USA. To register, please contact Sherry Swick, sherry@us.ibm.com. Available spaces will be filled on a first-come, first served basis.

More about the World Community Grid

World Community Grid, a philanthropic initiative developed by the IBM Corporation, offers researchers a unique opportunity to accelerate the pace of their work while also mobilizing people worldwide around critical social issues.

Launched by IBM in November 2004, World Community Grid uses grid technology to harness the plentiful, underutilized resource of PCs and laptops to support humanitarian research. Today, volunteers around the globe have donated the computational power of close to 1 million PCs; World Community Grid is harnessing their power when the computers are on but not in use to help advance promising research. 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 is available free-of-charge only to public and not-for-profit organizations to use in humanitarian research that might otherwise not be completed due to the high cost of the computer infrastructure required in the absence of a public grid. As part of IBM’s commitment to advancing human welfare, all results must be published in the public domain and made public to the global research community. World Community Grid research partners include The Scripps Research Institute, The University of Texas Medical Branch, New York University, the University of Washington, the French Muscular Dystrophy Association, Oswaldo Cruz Institute - Fiocruz, the University of Cape Town, the Ontario Cancer Institute, the Institute for Systems Biology, and The Cancer Institute of New Jersey.

Discovering Dengue Drugs Together project slowed down because of hurricane
Sep 13, 2008 7:11:33 PM
Due to hurricane Ike, the research servers for the Discovering Dengue Drugs Together project are down and not reachable. We will temporarily slow down this project on the grid so that we don't accumulate too many results, which could consume all of our disk space. We do not yet know the status of the researchers, their families, homes and facilities. We hope for the best for them. Thank you for your understanding.
