RNA World (beta):

• Rfam 10.0 issue resolved, seed WUs released

  Posted: July 30, 2010, 11:44pm CEST

  After resolving a small uncertainty with the latest Rfam database release, we have now prepared and uploaded novel work to the RNA World server for those who run Linux x64 machines. The maximum CMCALIBRATE run time of the current set of Rfam 10.0-based work units as estimated on an Intel P8600 CPU at 2.4 GHz is 72:50 (hh:mm). The vast majority of WUs, however, will take only around one hour (approx. 10 WUs out of a total of 1446 require run times above 20 hrs). I hope this is acceptable even without checkpointing. Nachdem die Unklarheit bezueglich eines Alignments in der 'seed' Version der neusten Rfam 10.0 Datenbank geklaert werden konnte, haben wir nun den angekuendigten Satz neuer CMACLIBRATE WUs auf den Server geladen. Die maximale Laufzeit - gemessen auf einem Intel P8600 Prozessor (2,4 GHz) - sollte 72:50 Stunden (ss:mm) dauern. Die Mehrheit der WUs liegt allerdings deutlich darunter und zwar bei ca. 1 Stunde Rechenzeit (ca. 10 WUs von genau 1446 liegen oberhalb von 20 Std.). Ich hoffe, das ist selbst ohne Checkpointing akzeptabel. Michael.

• Larger numbers & credit adjustment

  Posted: July 27, 2010, 10:26pm CEST

  Thanks to recent advances in the msieve postprocessing code, a significant barrier limiting the size of numbers that we can factor has been removed. Therefore, over the next few months, we will be factoring progressively larger numbers using the lasievef application. To reflect the increased importance of these larger work units, their credit has been adjusted. If your computer has at least 1.25 GB of memory per core and you are not running other memory-hungry applications in the background, please try disabling the lasievee application in your NFS@Home preferences. If your computer can successfully run the lasievef application, you will contribute to the largest NFS factorizations completed to date using open source software and will earn more credits per day. In the case of a quad-core computer with 4 GB of memory, you will earn more credit per day running three instances of lasievef and leaving one core idle than running four instances of lasievee. Do not worry if your computer does not have sufficient memory for the lasievef application or other background processes prevent you from using it. Work for lasievee will continue to be available over the long term.

• 2,1036+ factored

  Posted: July 27, 2010, 9:52pm CEST

  2,1036+ is factored. The composite cofactor was the product of 71-digit and 142-digit prime numbers.

• Release of CMCALIBRATE mini WUs

  Posted: July 27, 2010, 1:41am CEST

  I just uploaded a first mini set of the new CMCALIBRATE WUs for Linux-x64 that are based on Rfam-10.0. Ein erster Satz CMCALIBRATE Mini-WUs für Linux-x64 Maschinen wurde gerade zur Abarbeitung bereit gestellt. Diese WUs basieren auf der neusten Rfam-10.0 Datenbankversion. Michael.

• Delay of CMCALIBRATE WU delivery

  Posted: July 25, 2010, 1:52pm CEST

  The announced CMCALIBRATE WUs have already been prepared. It seems, however, that there might be a minor inconsistency in the current Rfam 10.0 database data set which we would like to have clarified before we release the new work. Obwohl angekündigten CMCALIBRATE WUs bereits zur Ausgabe vorbereitet sind, können wir sie erst ausgeben, sobald wir eine kleinere Datensatzinkonsistenz in der neusten Rfam 10.0 Version geklärt haben.

  We are happy to inform that the system is now crunching the first truly production run performed by geneticists directly from our submission web site without any assistance. See the scientific updates in the forums. The run is about 60,000 WUs, each about 1 hour

• The Full Moon Challenge - 24 hrs to go

  Posted: July 24, 2010, 8:20pm CEST

  There is coming soon a gathering of Warewolves and Prime Hunters. Be sure not to mix the two groups up or you might find yourself surrounded by blood thirsty animals!! ;) However, some might say that the two groups are NOT mutually exclusive. :D Come join us this Full Moon for a sporting "hunt" of Top 5000 primes in the Proth Prime Search (LLR) project. Application builds are available for Mac, Linux, and Windows. For more information, please see this forum thread.

  Our new website is on-line for several days and dDM members could participate in a poll about the new layout. Most of the participants like the new website but 20% don't like the new layout. Therefore, I'd like to invite you to post your comments, feedback and suggestions how we could improve our new website furthermore. Please, use the Forum Website Issues to share your ideas.

  The main power cable has been damaged due to construction work around our building. This caused a power outage of several hours. Power has been restored and the servers are now running again. Sorry for the interruption, best regards, Thomas

• A Few Small Sets

  Posted: July 21, 2010, 5:29pm CEST

  A small set of workunits was distributed to a handful of volunteers this afternoon, and we'd like to thank you for your computations. Another small job may shortly follow.We're currently in the phase of migration and refactoring. The migration is nearly complete, but there is still much work to be done for refactoring the system. As such, the flow of WUs and jobs will not be continuous until the new system is rolled-out. We greatly appreciate everyone sticking with the project, and the contributions to the current running model, as well as the many models in the past, has helped out our lab immensely. -Tom

  Come howl at the moon with us and "hunt" for Top 5000 primes. It's a GREAT opportunity for you to find one for yourself! Who knows, there may even be the rare Fermat number divisor. :) We hope to establish a single day record for finding Top 5000 primes! A 24 hour Challenge (25 July) is being offered on PrimeGrid's Proth Prime Search (LLR) application. Builds are available for Mac, Linux, and Windows. For more information, please see this forum thread.

  We are working on GPU support for GROMACS. We are paying a contractor to implement some changes. This is going to cost us $500 total. I'm planning to contribute $200 out of my pocket and hopeing to get some donations. We will submit these customizations to for BOINC integration to the OpenMM project. If they do not include them, we will make them available somewhere else. [hydrogenathome.org] -Jack
