Due to the move of parts of the BOINCSIMAP crew to Vienna in 2010, this project is now a joint project of the Technical University Munich and the University of Vienna. The recent series of power faults, combined with defects of the UPS devices in our Munich facilities, has motivated us to move BOINCSIMAP now immediately to new hardware at the University of Vienna. This hardware is brand new and became available last week. We will now setup the new boinc servers (BOINC server, download-/upload server and database server) and run a first small test in December 2010. If everything works fine, the first full run of the new servers will start around January 7, 2011 after the new year holidays. We expect then 1..2 months of continuous work, as there are the new proteins of three months plus a couple of new metagenomes. There will be a new URL for the project, but we will also keep the current URL operational for a longer period. Thanks to all friends of SIMAP for your great work, help and the many discussions in the previous years. We look forward to another productive era starting next year. Best regards from Vienna Thomas

New project URL on Mon, Dec 6 approx. 6 p.m. UTC
The renewed project will move to the new project URL "http://boincsimap.org/boincsimap" on Mon, Dec 6 approx. 6 p.m. UTC. Thereafter, new work will be available for about 2..3 months.

After the project has changed its URL, please disconnect and reconnect your boinc client to the new URL. Sorry for this - this URL change to the new (institution independent) domain will remain an once-in-the-lifetime event for BOINCSIMAP.

Best regards and thanks for your support
Thomas

SIMAP is currently moving towards new algorithms for similarity calculations and scoring. After extensive tests and evaluations during the last months it turned out that the best way to continue SIMAP will be to use dedicated local hardware in our institute. SIMAP will therefore use BOINC only to maintain the current SIMAP database until the end of 2014. BOINC clients for the new SIMAP database will not be released and there will be no workunits for SIMAP after 2014. After 10 very successful years of SIMAP within BOINC this decision was not an easy one for us. However, we thank all users for their support in the past and in the upcoming last period until the end of the year.
Not good!
