They've all been snapped up already.SZTAKI Desktop Grid just loaded up some WUs for the first time in awhile.
They must have gone fast,SZTAKI Desktop Grid just loaded up some WUs for the first time in awhile.
Me too! I guess we're getting resends.They must have gone fast,I can't get any...
I got one! lol

SZTAKI Desktop Grid is going to close down officially on May 31. We will try to keep the server open as long as possible afterwards if needed, so all in-progress work units can be finished. Next, the project home page will be replaced by a static site containing the description and results for the applications of the project, and will be updated when we get new results from the scientists. We would like to thank you for your support and dedication for SZDG throughout the years!
They did 800,000 in four days? Six more days and we got points ... if we keep gaining a few.Something tells me they won't make the 2M credit minimum in Formula BOINC.

It seems a few people have come up with a way to game the system. Until I figure out what damage they have done and how many thousands of work units need to be re-issued, the daemons are shut down. You should still be able to return any completed work units and they will eventually be validated and credit given if valid, but no new work units will be sent until new applications and server daemons have been developed.

The site was restored incompletely at this time; at least the old forum contents aren't there. Edit: And restoration of the server and application seems to be a lot of work for the admin and the testers.https://boinc.thesonntags.com/collatz/ said:Use at your own risk
I'm testing the validator, work generator, assimilator, and applications. It may or may not work which means you may or may not get credit for your work. There is still a lot of work to do but I'm making progress.

That exact same code works correctly using VS2017 on Windows. I removed the new Boost code changing out the 128 bit integers with GMP and/or custom bit shift functions but the results are the same. That leads me to believe it has to do with the sieve generation and/or the 64 or 128 bit emulation/optimization. I've now switched gears and am working on a universal version that works with GCC/MinGW/MinGW-w64 so except for a few platform specific definitions, the code will be exactly the same across all platforms. It will then require testing those apps against the existing and older non-sieve apps to make sure the results all still match.

It will be a while until the DC applications and work units of these projects will become available to contributors to crunch.

After a rigorous review of dozens of applications from all over the world, we're excited to announce the research groups who will receive supercomputing power, weather data, and cloud storage from IBM to accelerate climate change science.
[...]
We're thrilled to announce the winners of these resources:
- Impact of climate change on public health (Emory University, USA)
This project will examine the impact of climate change on temperature and air pollution at local levels, helping researchers understand the impact of a changing climate on human health.
- Impact of atmospheric aerosols on climate change (Far Eastern Federal University, Russia)
Atmospheric aerosols, such as dust, smoke and pollution, both absorb and reflect sunlight in the atmosphere, and represent the greatest area of uncertainty in climate science today, according to the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). This project aims to determine how super-micron particles (6 to 12 micrometers in diameter) interact with sunlight and how they contribute to atmospheric temperatures--information that will improve the accuracy of climate models.
- Rainfall modeling in Africa (Delft University of Technology, Netherlands)
In Africa, agriculture relies heavily on localized rainfall, which is difficult to predict. In collaboration with the Trans-African Hydro-Meteorological Observatory, which aims to develop a vast network of weather stations across Africa, researchers will simulate rainfall on the continent. Such information could help farmers be more resilient, among other weather and hydrology applications.[...]
There are about 2,885 "long" GPU WU available on GPUgrid.
project scientist toma said:New experiment: gene network expansion of human pathologically relevant genes
Posted: 6 Jun 2018, 12:04:16 UTC
The goal of this experiment is the identification of gene networks involving human genes of medical relevance for two broad families of human pathologies: motor neuron diseases (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_neuron_disease) and hematopoietic tumors (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tumors_of_the_hematopoietic_and_lymphoid_tissues).
Human gene network expansion will take advantage of the comprehensive gene expression dataset provided by the FANTOM project (http://fantom.gsc.riken.jp/5/data/).
project admin valterc said:The dataset we are using right now is very big, a floating point matrix 87554x1829, it's size on the hard disk is ~0.5Gb and contains, for many genes, different isoforms/transcripts. The computational time for an algorithm's iteration, because of its 'complexity', is longer than the previous experiments.
Any single gene expansion is packed up into 294 workunits. Any workunit you receive has a name like this: 142041_Hs_T155402-MAP1B_wu-(1 to 294), a counter, Hs, an internal T code, a mnemonic for the gene/isoform. The T code is just a shortcut for the gene coordinates, for example T155402 is chr5:71403265..71403276,+
At this moment we don't know how many experiments we will make with this dataset, that's why I didn't update the 'Science status' page with the usual counters.
Yesterday, the plug was finally pulled at SZTAKI Desktop Grid. Contrary to their announcement from April, they continued to generate new work after May 31. And they did not wait with the server shutdown until all work in progress returned home, leaving some precious tasks stuck in the intertubes without a chance to get reported — including three tasks of mine.
Cool. I am back doing some WCGWCG is exporting again!
