2nd STATUS REPORT FOR THE USERS OF LHC@home
December 7, 2004
Dear Users:
On November 1st, we made our first Status Report to you, which you can reread at: http://lhcathome.cern.ch/announcement1.html
In that, we said:
"... So the decision has been taken to make BOINC a more permanent facility at CERN. For this to occur, we will soon need a pause to install a modern hi-tech server system (replacing our two old borrowed server machines). We will redesign our job management system and fix problems causing small numerical differences and some strange runtime errors. A new and improved optical model of the LHC accelerator is also being prepared.
The most likely timescale for this shutdown will be from mid or late November, coming up again with the improved system in December or early 2005."
We are now in the middle of this announced shutdown. Almost all the invaluable student staff of the original LHC@Home project have left CERN to return to their studies. Our physics staff are working as described above. As CERN closes for the holidays on December 18th, we will not come up again before early 2005 as stated.
Very little effort exists during shutdown to read and answer the Message Boards, for which we apologize. We appreciate our users' continuing interest in LHC@Home, and particularly the generosity of those more experienced users who answer many questions from others.
Please accept our holiday and New Year's greetings - and see you in 2005!
Ben Segal - LHC@Home Coordinator

对LHC@home用户的第二阶段报告
2004年12月7日
尊敬的用户：
在11月1日，我们向你公布了我们的第一阶段报告，你能在这重读：http://lhcathome.cern.ch/announcement1.html
在文中我们提到：
"... 因此已经决定使BOINC成为CERN的永久设备。为此，不久我们将要暂停项目，安装一个最新的高科技服务器系统(替换我们的两台旧的借的服务器)。我们将重新设计我们的工作管理体制，并修正引起小的数值误差和一些奇怪的运行时间错误的问题。一个新的改进的LHC加速器的光学模型也在准备中。
这次关闭的时间表是可能从11月中旬或下旬开始，在12月底或2005年初重开改进后的系统。"
我们现在已经关闭了系统。几乎所有原LHC@Home项目的宝贵的学生人员已经离开CERN继续他们的学业。我们的物理研究员正在按前面所说的那样工作。同时CERN在12月18日要关闭放假，如上所述我们会到2005年初才会回来。
很抱歉，在关闭期间我们不会经常管理论坛。我们感谢我们的用户继续关注LHC@Home，特别谢谢那些为其它人解答很多问题的有经验用户的慷慨付出。
请接受我们的假期和新年的问候 - 2005年见！
Ben Segal - LHC@Home负责人
