Hard drive space crisis solved // Crisis de espacio en el disco duro resuelta  |
Dear volunteers,
This weekend we have broken a new record for computing Teraflops (since we are in this new stage of the project). This is thanks to the pace of sending results that you have been doing in recent days and being more stable in the generation of work packages.
Although we were monitoring it, the coincidence of this peak with the database backup on the weekend has caused the hard drive to become saturated sooner than expected. We have been working since Monday on moving data out of the server and even other processes, but as we gained space it kept filling up with results that were pending upload.
This morning, for the first time in two days, more tasks have been validated than have been received and little by little normality will return. At first, it doesn't seem like anything has been lost and we are already submitting work again.
We have expanded the space to receive results and are working on automating some of the tasks to ensure we can continue to grow.
Thank you all very much, if we have this type of problems it is because of the great support you give us, we will continue working to grow by your side.
Sorry for not answering in the forums, and thank you very much for be aware of the evolution.
All the best,
Jesus.
=====================================================
Estimados voluntarios:
Este fin de semana hemos batido un nuevo record de Teraflops de computación (desde que estamos en esta nueva etapa del proyecto). Esto es gracias al ritmo de envío de resultados que estáis haciendo en los últimos días y de estar más estables en la generación de paquetes de trabajo.
Aunque ibamos monitorizándolo, la coincidencia de este pico con la copia de seguridad de la base de datos en el fin de semana ha hecho que se saturara el disco duro antes de lo esperado. Hemos estado trabajando desde el lunes en mover datos fuera del servidor e incluso otros procesos, pero según ganábamos espacio se seguía llenando con los resultados que estaban pendientes de subir.
Esta mañana, por primera vez en dos días se han validado más tareas de las que se han recibido y poco a poco se irá retomando la normalidad. En principio, no parece que se haya perdido nada y ya estamos enviando trabajo de nuevo.
Hemos ampliado el espacio para recibir resultados y estamos trabajando en automatizar algunas de las tareas para garantizar que podemos seguir creciendo.
Muchas gracias a todos, si tenemos este tipo de problemas es por el gran apoyo que nos dais, seguiremos trabajando para crecer a vuestro lado.
Disculpad que no haya contestado en los foros, muchas gracias por estar tan pendientes de la evolución.
Un saludo,
Jesús.

| Discord channel for GPUGRID |

Hi,
I have created a discord channel for GPUGRID. It kind of duplicates this in some aspects but maybe people are more used to Discord.
It is an additional channel that may help to build up the community.

| New experiment on Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) from Mus musculus |
We just started two experiments (gene expansion) on two different datasets (rnaseq, riboseq). There will be a total of about 140k workunits (2x tasks), each one relatively fast, distributed in batches.
If interested please follow the discussion here: https://gene.disi.unitn.it/test/forum_thread.php?id=384

| Universe@Home future |
The time has come to inform you about what will happen next with the Universe@Home project.
As you know, Krzysztof Belczyński was the initiator and lead scientist of the project - he was the head of our small team. His sudden passing caused a bit of chaos, which we are gradually trying to manage. Unfortunately, the latest changes in the application code that were being implemented also disappeared with him. For this reason, as well as the necessity to introduce changes to the application code that had been planned for some time, we have decided to temporarily suspend the generation of new WUs.
As of today, we already know that Universe@Home will not end - it is being taken under the wing of Prof. Tomasz Bulik (https://nauka-polska.pl/#/profile/scientist?id=23855&lang=en&_k=ta6rhj). Nevertheless, we must ask for your patience; at this moment, the most important thing is to manage the organizational and formal matters and to work on the changes in the code. This should take us two to three months.
I will keep you updated.

| Vote for the next target! |
Dear all, we have obtained results for different targets of SARS-CoV-2. The computations continue, and we want to ask your opinion on the next target. You can vote for one of them until February 5th, 2024.
- SARS-CoV-2 main protease (3CLpro) further studies
This is a crucial therapeutic target against SARS-CoV-2. 3CLpro (cysteine protease; EC 3.4.22.69) in particular is crucial for the cleavage of coronavirus polyproteins to form mature non-structural proteins that are themselves essential for viral replication mechanisms. We still need much more research on this target towards new more potent inhibitors.
- Ebolavirus glycoprotein (GP)
Ebola virus is a dangerous pathogen to humans and this target could be a perfect study case for PPI-type drug design scenario. The EBOV glycoprotein (GP) is the only virally expressed protein on the virion surface and is critical for attachment to host cells and catalysis of membrane fusion.
- Swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus (SADS-CoV PLpro)
This target would enable us to study the design on multiple related viral targets. Swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus (SADS-CoV), a newly emerging enteric coronavirus, is considered to be associated with swine acute diarrhea syndrome (SADS) which has caused significantly economic losses to the porcine industry. The pathogen indicates towards host-jump potential.

| New improved Gravitational Wave app & Happy New Year 2024 special |
Dear crunchers!
We would like to share with you two things:
a) the GPU accelerated GW app is now much less memory hungry and less likely to produce errors. If you had previously opted out of the GW app, we invite you to reconsider and give the new version a chance.
b) to celebrate the new app, we have a holiday season special offer for our crunchers: you'll get twice the BOINC credits for the GW App results. [see details in the forum thread] |

Thanks to all the users. Please keep crunching!

| And we're back! |
The NFS@Home server was unexpectedly caught up in a campus network reorganization. That knocked us offline for a bit over a day. There may be brief outages over the next few days as we get everything settled again, but we are mostly back up with a new IP address. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Edit: The site came back up in the US on Friday afternoon PST, but because of a misconfigured firewall it wasn't available worldwide until Saturday afternoon. Again, we apologize for the issues.

| Happy New Year! |
Just a very brief update: People here are working on submitting papers, analyzing the FANTOM and Vitis vinifera data and so on. A nice Web application to look and play with the results is almost ready. Unfortunately there is yet no ETA on the new experiments to be done here.
Happy New Year to everybody listening!

| New AVX512 application released |
We are very proud to announce our new set of optimized applications that will utilize AVX512 instruction set capable engines or to be precise those, which support AVX512dq instructions!
These applications are built to support both Linux and Windows 64bit architecture OS. The development of this version was possible thanks to the great help provided by ahorek's team!
Unfortunately it turns out that BOINC client applications for Windows still do not report all processor options to the server correctly. It is because of a known bug and even after a lot of discussions in BOINC's channels it's still there. The good news is that thanks to ahorek's team a bugfix was already accepted and merged into the BOINC's repository and the fix will be applied when client version 7.26.0 is released. Till then in order to run the AVX512 application you might need to switch to the Anonymous platform.
We'd like to remind you that while the Boinc server is capable of finding the best performing application for every particular system taking into account multiple factors, after a while it will start sending the right one for every particular system. Which means that even if your CPU supports AVX512dq instructions it still might receive FMA or AVX tasks and there is nothing to be concerned about. In such a case you might want to give a try to the so-called Anonymous platform where your client will explicitly request the AVX512 application.
Happy crunching and thank you for your support!
