We are proud to announce the very first publicly available output of the Near-Time Persistency Checker (a process which ranks the statistical interest of points on the sky). Please read the Frequency Asked Questions first.

NTPC的初始版本已经正式发布了，详细说明请看FAQ。

简要说明（之前我自己的理解，有不对请大家指出）：
项目方从用户来得到的计算结果会记录这次计算找到的可疑信号点，但只从单个任务得来的结果并无实际意义，而是需要项目方综合大量的计算结果才能进一步确定可疑信号，过去出于计算能力的限制，项目方是定期比如说半年对之前阶段的计算结果进行这个综合的分析工作。现在这个NTPC项目的意义就是接近于实时的进行这个分析工作，一旦任务上报到项目服务器后，这个程序就会对计算结果中发现的可疑信号和数据库的数据进行比对，并对结果和数据库进行相应的更新处理。对我们用户来说，也就可以比较实时地看到自己的计算结果中倒底找到了些啥：）

总觉得好像外星的无线电信号很难传到地球上，据说大约到1-2光年左右，所有的地球无线电信号就已经被背景噪音淹没了，不知外星的无线电功率能强大到多少

We have been in the process of transitioning parts of our data pipeline. You may be having trouble downloading workunits until this process is complete - hopefully later this week.

项目正在对数据传输通道的转换部分进行处理工作，用户可能在工作完成前无法下载任务。（希望在本周晚些时候恢复）

One of our database servers crashed again today. It should be recoverable, but the project will probably be down until tomorrow morning when everybody will be back at the lab and can sort out what happened.

今天一台数据服务器故障了。需要在等到明天大家回到实验室弄清楚到底发生什么事才能恢复。。期间项目将离线。。

We just had a disk failure on our raw data storage device, which we're in the process of fixing, but still we'll probably run out of workunits to send out tonight.


一个源数据存储器故障了，项目方正在修复，但未来半天可能无法发送任务。
