The server will be down for some minutes due to power maintenace operations in the building, next Thursday January 27th at 10am (UTC+1).

As many of you are probably aware of already, we’ve been working hard to try to resurrect the project with the resources we have at hand. Today we replaced a very small temporary disk with a larger 3TB one that we received from the vendor a few days ago. With this disk in place we should soon be back up and running. We have yet to restore data from jobs before the disk failure so these older jobs will still be pending. However, all pending jobs will eventually be granted credit. The good news is that the data from the failed disk has been recovered and we are currently copying it to the new disk. Thank you all for your patience.

Happy New Year,

In this binary day 110111, I am sending some (150) new WUs tagged as *EGFR* for you to crunch. It is a brand new project that we are starting. Its goal is to find the (molecular) cause for the resistance to some anticancer drug -which is quite exciting!

More to come,

Well, our luck ran out. The SAN controller that has been causing so much trouble in the last few months finally tipped over in a rather distructive fashion, corrupting the binary tree on which the filesystem is based. We’re trying to rebuild the thing but the sheer number of files in the filesystem (> 10M files) makes this process very, very slow. We’re bringing the project up from a recent backup (12/09/10) but the backup wasn’t a perfect replica of the environment, so we’re having to scramble to get all the parts working together again. We only need a few more weeks and then our new, next generation SAN will be ready to be put into place… I just thought the old one would last a few more week. I apologize for the hassle and appreciate your patience as we get things online again… KEL 01/07/11

English: Over here the new year was started with lots of fireworks and lots and lots of snow. Hopefully you also had a good start into 2011. Happy new year!
Deutsch: Das neue Jahr begann hier mit einer Menge Feuerwerk und sehr sehr viel Schnee. Hoffentlich hattet auch ihr einen guten Start in 2011. Frohes neues Jahr!

GPUGRID wishes you the best for the New Year.

English: The year 2010 was a very successful one and so you (and hopefully we too^^) can enjoy the holidays together with a good feeling. Therefore: Nice Holidays and hopefully some time with your loved ones in these winter holidays. Merry Christmas!
Deutsch: Rueckblickend war das Jahr 2010 ein echt erfolgreiches. Und daher koennt ihr (und hoffentlich auch wir^^) die Winterfeiertage mit einem guten Gefuehl verbringen. Daher: Schoene Feiertage und hoffentlich eine schoene Zeit mit eurer Familie! Frohe Weihnachten!

English: The projectpage to the cancer peptide project is now available under the Projects link on the left.
Deutsch: Die Ergebnisse zum Krebspeptid Projekt kann man nun begutachten. Der Link befindet sich wie gewohnt links unter Projects.

The situation on malariacontrol.net is back to normal. Malariacontrol is generating and sending workunits at a normal rate.

English: Today we release new jobs modeling an anti-cancer peptide of currently unknown structure Link. The Jobs will run on P++ under the cancerpeptide workunit series and start from extended conformations. The PDB files, which will be generated here, will also be downloadable (and watchable) after. However we need some time to adjust the site for that. I suspect it to be done on Tuesday. Apart from that the Credits were a bit low in comparison with the old POEM executable. They were raised just now. Thanks for informing us about that!
Deutsch: Heute gibt es neue Jobs zu einem Anti-Krebs Peptid, von welchem die Struktur bislang unbekannt ist Link. Die Jobs laufen auf P++ unter der „Cancerpeptide” Workunit Serie und starten von ausgestreckten Konformationen. Hierfuer werdet ihr aehnlich der Peptidworkunits auch eure berechneten Strukturen anschauen und runterladen koennen. Die Seite dafuer ist noch nicht ganz fertig; wir glauben, dass sie es wohl am Dienstag ist. Abgesehen davon waren die Credits ein wenig zu gering im Vergleich zur alten POEM exe, daher haben wir sie gerade eben angehoben. Danke fuer eure Berichte dazu!

Double sized WUs are out: *variant*_long* and include a bonus of the 50% on the credits.
