Re: Research Log: Updates from the Harvard Team

It looks like our most recent paper found a home after a round of positive peer-review reports. Only minor revisions were necessary and the manuscript is now back with the journal.

Re: Research Log: Updates from the Harvard Team

The general state of health in the CEP team seems to be improving - earlier this week it looked from the outside as if our work was an outright health-hazard to the researchers involved.

Re: Research Log: Updates from the Harvard Team

It's interesting reading all of the goings on in the lab. How many gigabytes of data do you let accumulate before you issue that compress command so the disks don't get to full?

Re: Research Log: Updates from the Harvard Team

Johannes is back in town after a successful conference in Germany. He presented our latest CEP results at the Symposium for Theoretical Chemistry in Erlangen.

Re: Research Log: Updates from the Harvard Team

Hi Speedy51,
we usually fill up Ms Piggy to 90% and then do a cleanup run. It's actually not a compress command, but after postprocessing and analysis we move everything to the archive on the Jabbas.
Best wishes

BTW: This morning, we got the automatic note that it's time again for some housecleaning.

Out of interest after housecleaning was complete how much space did you recover?

Re: Research Log: Updates from the Harvard Team

Hi Speedy51,
that depends a bit on the state of the grid, analysis, and storage array, but we typically go down to 60-70%.

Re: Research Log: Updates from the Harvard Team

Hi everybody,
sorry for the recent radio silence - the CEP team is somewhat understaffed these days and when travel or other urgent issues come up, blogging is one of the first thing that has to be halted. We hope to be back to normal now for a while, though.
Best wishes,
Your Harvard CEP team
