Thanks to beta testers

Posted: March 28, 2018, 3:45pm CEST

Dear volunteers,
The role of beta tester is crucial for the development of this project. They compute when errors can easily occur and risking not getting a reward in the form of credits. From today, we want to thank all these volunteers a little more for their work and we want to do it in a public way. We have added a new badge for Beta testers and a new classification with the credit obtained in beta applications ( [denis.usj.es] ). Now you can identify them easily.

Thank you very much for your commitment to the project.

Best,
Jesús.
Problems in the server

Posted: March 23, 2018, 7:31pm CET

Dear volunteers,
We have experienced problems on the server and we had to restore the last backup. Thanks to the new backup system, the loss was only of 18 hours. The last messages in the forums will be missing and may be there will be problems with the tasks of this last day. We hope everything returns to normal as soon as possible.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Best regards,
Jesús.
HTTPS in the server

Posted: March 23, 2018, 5:20pm CET

Dear volunteers,
As you requested to us, DENIS@Home is now working under [HTTPS.] If you have experienced problems in the last few hours it may be due to the change. It is possible that there is some detail to be modified, but it should be working correctly.

Previous URLs are still working and redirect to the [HTTPS] version, so you don't need to change the URL of the project.

If boinc manager tells you that you have to remove the project and add it again, it is not necessary. There was a time during which the URL was different but it is already the same.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you detect something that is not working well.

Best regards,
Jesús.
Re-starting the project!

Posted: March 19, 2018, 12:11pm CET

Dear all,
Thank you very much everyone for your patient wait. I'm writting to you to give you good news. We sent an small block of tasks to check if all is working well this Friday. Little by little, we will send more task. It seems that everything is working well but we want to go slowly to ensure each step. We have still some things to improve but now we can say that we are back!

Many thank you for your collaboration
Jesus.

Status of the project

Posted: September 29, 2017, 6:40pm CEST

Dear volunteers,
First of all, I want to apologize for the long time since the last update of information. As I explained in other thread, we had a database crash. This problem coincided in time with a change of work of Joel, so I was alone to manage the crisis.
Unfortunately, due to other research and teaching commitments, I cannot now devote enough time to the project to be ready and re-generate results. So I had decided to stop it temporarily. I hope to restart the project in January or February. I'll let you know by using this forum and the other official channels of the project.
Finally I want to resume the status of the recovery and the project:
• All the volunteers, hosts and teams created before 2017 have recovered they credit.
• To those ones created after January 2017, if you have computed for the DENIS project in a computer with other BOINC projects, we will be able to recover the credit through the BOINC Cross project ID. You have to add the project to a computer with the other projects and your BOINC Cross project ID will be updated to the oldest one. I’m not sure but I think that the update will take place after computing for the project. Once the project updates your CPID, I will be able to identify you in the stat files to restore your credit. I will analyze it again the next month.
• If you are not in the previous situation, please, contact me if you want to recover your credit and we will try to find any other mechanisms to identify you in the stat files.
• After the recovery, the last version of the app that was compiled and uploaded by Joel is not working. I think that the problem is in the code and not in the DB crash, but I need time to analyze the app, and to learn how the system to compile the apps and to upload them works.

Actually, the major limitation to continue with the project is the time I have available for been developing it. This project is very important for me personally and more after seeing the great welcome you have given and the great support received. Thank you once again for your patience, your support and for been here. I hope I can live up to how much you have given.

Kind regards,
Jesús.
Problems in the server

Posted: June 22, 2017, 5:27pm CEST

Dear volunteers,
These days we have been suffering problems in the database due to an update. Many information was corrupted in the process. We have recovery a backup copy but it is a bit old.
We are working to get everything working well as soon as possible.

Please, be patient and thank you in advance.

Best regards.
Big simulation in the "New Carro et al. Human Ventricular Cell Model" subproject

Posted: May 19, 2017, 4:47pm CEST

Dear all,
We are going to start a big simulation today. This is the last block of the subpropject entitled "New Carro et al. Human Ventricular Cell Model" ( [denis.usj.es] ). In this last simulation we use an optimization algorithm to improve the model. We estimate that the algorithm will need around 6 or 7 iterations and in each iteration we will send around 160000 new tasks. All this job will run in the CRN application.

We thank you in advance for all the effort and support you give us and we encourage you to spread this great simulation to add more people.

Thank you so much for everything!

Best regards,
Jesús.
First Scientific Results of DENIS in the Biophysical Society 61st Annual Meeting

Posted: February 7, 2017, 1:40pm CET

Dear volunteers,
Next week, I will attend the 61st Annual Meeting of the Biophysical Society in New Orleans. During the conference I will present a modification of one of the currents of our model (the calcium current). This current was modified to solve some problems of the model. We decided to modify this current thanks to the results obtained in DENIS, so we can say that this is the first scientific result in cardiac electrophysiology obtained thanks to your collaboration. Thank you very much!

You computed the exploratory study to locate the part of the model that was causing the problem. Thanks to your collaboration we were able to find it and propose a solution.

We continue to work to make our heart cell model as realistic as possible, we hope we can continue to give you great news like this in which your effort is rewarded enriching science.

Thank you very much for being by our side and helping us in this and in future works.

Sincerely,
Jesús.
Launch of new Application

Posted: January 4, 2017, 7:03pm CET

Hi everyone,

As some of you have noticed, there are new WUs in the system. We are starting with a small peak of work, but the idea is to maintain a continuous flow of new WUs.

This new part of the project is related to a Database of markers of the simulations. We are populating a database with relevant values of the simulations to make to scientist easy the way to make a exploratory study of the model or avoid making all the time the same simulations.

We are working on the interface of this database and how to integrate in our website, also, we are developing a post to explain more this idea of the Database of markers.

Happy New Year!! And Happy Crunching!

Delay in the launch of new version

Posted: December 9, 2015, 7:36pm CET

Hi everyone,

It's sad for us to say that we will delay the launch of the new version at least one or two weeks.

Our team is small and health problems have a lot of impact on it. We suppose that in one week we will ready to work at 100%.

We will advice you when the new version will be available.

Best regards, Joel.

Posted: November 27, 2015, 4:55pm CET

Hi everyone!
In the last months we have been working on a new web page of the project and now is on-line. You can see at [denis.usj.es.]
We have added more information about the project, the research we are doing and about the members of the team. We will gradually merge this page and the BOINC web page of the project.
We hope that this new web page will increase your knowledge of the project.
Any comment to improve it is welcome.
Thank you!

Best regards,
DENIS@Home staff.
New WUs Generation will be paused

Posted: November 24, 2015, 4:13pm CET

Hi everyone!

We are ready to launch a new version of DENIS application, which will include more than one model, also, it will have new features for scientists like the ability to storage more parameters from the simulation.

We are working also in a new web page with more information about the project and the workunits organization, to do all that things we need to "purge" the system and prepare some scripts that will maintain the server paused this week.

We hope that the new web page and the new version of the app will be running during the next week.

Best regards, DENIS@Home Staff.
