CASP8 is ramping up with a handful of targets released last week, and many more expected this week. The reason you haven't seen many CASP8 work units as we are making a final benchmarking of all the new structure prediction protocols we have developed over the past two years in the new miniRosetta code framework. The testing is on CASP7 targets--we want to determine which of our new methods are best before going all out on the CASP8 targets (yes, we would like to have completed the benchmarking before casp8 started, but there has been so much to do!). the testing should be complete monday and tuesday, and based on these results we will be sending out primarly casp8 work units next week using the approaches the tests currently running show are most successful.
I can't emphasize enough how critical all of your contributions are to our efforts to improve protein structure prediction methods! we have had many ideas on potential improvements which we have implemented, but the only way to know whether we are actually getting closer to the truth is to do rigorous testing (the casp7 targets for which we now know the structures are a perfect test set), and this would quite simply be impossible without your contributions! -- David Baker

| 2008-05-13: Cosmology@Home - Stats and WU Errors |
We've got the stats working again and we've cancelled all of the WUs that were created yesterday that were erroring out.

| 2008-05-13: Cosmology@Home - WU generator fixed and working on stats exporting |
Recompiled the work generator to work with the server OS upgrades, so the new WUs should work fine. I'm now looking getting the stats export to work again.

I've seen the errors with the new WUs and I will take care of it first thing in the morning.

Due to the cooling unit failing on Friday, all machines in our server room were shutdown to prevent catastrophic
failure. Please accept our sincerest apologies for the lost work units and project downtime.

OK, now the work generator is *really* up.

From May 10th through May 26th, I will be out of town and therefore unable to check the message boards and issue work. Everything will still be running; I just wanted to give everyone a heads up if things go silent a bit. For a couple of weeks.

The trouble with our forum server were solved!
The main webserver made some trouble in the last days! I didn't find the problem now, but I'm working on it. If the server is down please be
patience. News can read on our forum-side

We had some downtime in the last 12 hours due to Apache suddenly not accepting any new connections. The first time was quickly solved but the second time was during the night and was solved in the morning resulting in 4,5 hours of downtime.
I'll be monitoring the server closely. At the moment I can't find a reason for the Apache problem so I can only hope it was a fluke and won't happen again.

It looks like work is flowing a bit better now, so I'm going to restart the work generator and see what happens.

New application version for TPS subproject has been released. If it behaves correctly, I will release it for other subprojects.
For the first time, it also features a screensaver!

| 2008-05-10: RieselSieve - Temporarily Out of Sieve WU |
Due to a conflict in the wrapper, we are temporarily unable to process Sieve workunits above id #11222915. This means that currently, we are out of sieve work. A fix to the original problem has been found, but it causes further issues. It looks like, at this time, we are out of sieve workunits until mid-day Saturday at the earliest. Please refer to the forum thread http://www.rieselsieve.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1472 for more details and the latest status information.

| 2008-05-09: Cosmology@Home - Another update |
The project daemons seems to be mostly working at this point. There are still some problems with scheduling, though, and there are *far* too many WUs in the queue due to the population script not being able to get queries out in time, so we're going to wait a while to see if it settles. However, it looks like the database is doing *much* better and there are no hanging queries. I'll keep you posted on changes.

| 2008-05-09: PS3GRID - Detail of the first numerical experiment. |
The first set of numerical experiments run on ps3grid.net produced 5,000 trajectories, 4 microseconds of simulated time, over 200 years of CPU time with a daily output of 100 ns and few GBytes, two orders of magnitude closer to single-molecule pulling experiments. Thanks to all volunteers for this effort.

| 2008-05-09: Cosmology@Home - Break for a while |
Still having problems with the validator. After I grab some shut-eye, I'll work on it some more (it's only permission problems).

| 2008-05-09: Cosmology@Home - Update |
After much shenanigans, logging in is now working again, so the message board is up. Still working on the rest.

|
| |
| 2008-05-09: Cosmology@Home - Maintainences |
The website is mostly up right now, but I'm still ironing out some bugs having to do with logging in. The project daemons seems to be up and running but I haven't verified that they are working properly yet. More updates to come.
