PRPNet Port Migration  |
|
We will soon be migrating all PRPNet ports on prpnet.mine.nu over to the prpnet.primegrid.com server.
Please see this thread for more information or to discussion the migration.

| Stopping WUs temporarily |
|
Hi Everyone,
I'm shutting things down temporarily because it looks like there's been issues with the new workunits. Hopefully have a fix out in a few days.

| Since there are more ARM devices active for HAT, I increased the deadline to 3 days. |

| We again experienced networking problems with the backend of the R@H system. We're up and running again, but the system will be sluggish as the backlogged tasks are worked through. -DOVA and KEL [Fri May 17 13:55:23 PDT 2013] |

| Solo_Collatz v4.07 Released for Linux GPUs |
|
The solo_collatz version 4.07 application has been added for Linux 64-bit systems with NVidia and AMD GPUs. Please report any issues on the message board.

|
| v4.07 Released for Windows |
|
Windows Version 4.07 has been released for Collatz, Mini_Collatz, and Solo_Collatz. This version fixes a bug in checkpointing as well as allows Catalyst 13.4 drivers to use OpenCL optimization which can increase the speed by up to 6 times versus v4.06. (Note: It still isn't as fast as the ATI 2.09 app on older GPUs though.) As usual, please report any issues.

| Canceled SDOERR WU's |
|
I apologize for all whose WU's were cancelled today in the process of stopping the old ones and re-sending the new fixed ones.
At the beginning I didn't realize the effect and extend of the cancellation (since it was not intended to work this way), but I see now that many hours of computation and credits were lost due to this.
It seems to have been a bug in a script that had not been seen before until now, so we will refrain from using it until it has been fixed.
I realize that the computation time is very important for everyone so we hope that such hiccups won't happen too often in the future.
Many thanks for your patience and calculations!

| Exciting news from the FM@H project - first in vitro validation comes up with hits! |
|
Dear all,
We've had our first major success from the FightMalaria@Home project. After analyzing the data generated in the first phase (docking all the 400 MalariaBox compounds against all models), we have ranked lists of potential inhibitors for each receptor. But are these real? This is the kind of question that keeps us up at night.
Now we can rest easy - we've tested the top 20 hits using a model of the Plasmodial form of HDAC (histone deacetylase) in a laboratory (Dr Marian Brennan, RCSI, Dublin), and found THREE new inhibitors! So that's just one of the 1,500 receptors that we're docking, using only the best docking results (i.e. only the 20 best ligands).
It's a fantastic result, giving us hope that there are other gems waiting to be found in the data that you've generated on your home PCs!
Well done everyone!!!!!
ciao,
Ant
ps: We're in the process of writing up a manuscript for publication in an open-access journal, so you'll be able to read about all the details, and download all the data generated from FM@H, once we've survived the peer review process.

| Titan and GTX780 support |
|
We are probably merging the two updates at this point and update the applications to support titans and gtx780.
It all depends how long it takes to get gtx780.

| Donating via Amazon |
|
Hey guys,
We've added a new way for users to donate to GPUGRID. We've set ourselves up as an Amazon Associate, and if you click the link in our donations page before making a purchase with Amazon, we'll receive some small percentage of the value of your purchase. This way you can make a donation while going about your normal purchases.
We are also considering updating the advertising banner(s) at the bottom of the page. We will likely keep it non-intrusive, non-annoying text, much as it is now. Certainly no flash animations.
As always, Thanks!

| Test of different Workunits |
|
I changed the workunits a bit. These who have a capital 'F' in it's name. The upload result is now drastic decreased, instead of up to 10 MB it's now less than 10kB.
They seem to run very well. Even the changes assimilator is able to send them back to the factorDB.
