We recently had an online trainings session for StarDrop, a drug discovery software which allows the statistical analysis and modeling of data. So far we have developed these tools ourselves, but StarDrop may be the way to go in the future as it very professionally provides all the facilities we are looking for. Now we just have to make it work for materials rather than drugs

If you did go this route does that mean you would be breaking away from WCG, and / or we would have to use different clients to help out, or is this just for your back end use and we'd be business as usual here?

Hi Aaron,
don't worry, this is only to better analyze the data which comes back from the WCG. We are not going anywhere ![]() Best wishes Your Harvard CEP team |

Facebook just released the specification of their storage racks. We like our Backblaze-based Jabba better

The sustained WCG output for CEP2 corresponds to a dedicated cluster of about 4000-6000 cores, which is a pretty decent computational resource for such a project.

After a slight organizational delay Jabba could finally move into the Chemistry Department cold room. It was already getting somewhat toasty in the office

Well come winter time, think of all the energy you will be saving on heating by having jabba next to your desk :) In the summer you can use it to keep your coffee warm, hence not needing a fancy cup to hold it in. SEE there's a plus to everything.
Speaking of plus' I just hit sapphire this morning, woo hoo, onto year 3. Aaron |

We had our monthly phone conference with IBM today and CEP2 seems to be in quiet waters overall. Excellent!

@Aaron: congrats to the shiny new badge and thanks so much for all your contributions! BTW: You are right - the main reason Jabba had to move was that it finally starts to get warmer here in Boston and we don't need the additional office heating any longer

One of these days in the office: Wasted a whole afternoon chasing a bug. Origin: isinstance(NaN,float) == True…
