Re: UK
knreed WCG tech posted Apr 2, 2013 2:33:06 PM:

Man, it seems like a lot of projects are ending here recently. I hope we see some new projects soon.


Don't worry there will be more. The 'support' work load on the tech team is actually proportional to the number of active research projects we are running. As we reached 10-12 projects, the amount of time to complete 'moving forward' work dropped off significantly. As the projects end, we now have more time to focus on boarding new projects. We have a solid pipeline of new projects so there will definitely be more coming on board this year.


Further confirmation that there are new projects in the pipeline but no hint as to how long before they come on stream,other than "this year", or even enter BETA testing. Neither is there any reference to GPU work sad
The hastening of the completion of the HCC project due to the introduction of GPU processing surprised me. Although the speedup provided by a GPU was as I expected, I thought that only a minority of members would have or acquire suitable GPUs so that the sheer numbers of CPUs crunching HCC would outweigh the contribution of the GPUs. WCG obviously now has a huge computing resource available in the form of GPUs.


To be honest, the combined production of the GPU's surprised us as well. We had anticipated that with the launch of GPU we would double the daily output. instead it increased by a factor of 16-17 (before GPU we were completing ~60k/results per day with 1 image per job, we are now >500k/results per day with 2 images per job. This led to some great adventures in handling greater capacity (which we call a 'success' problem).

Re: UK
If only there were a WCG blog or similar where all tech and admin posts could be seen in one place! (Yeah I know - I'll put the soapbox away.)

knreed WCG tech posted in this thread re differences in Points awarded between Projects and between WCG & other hoys eg POEM
Just to add a tech's two cents to the discussion:

1) The credit logic we use now is the logic used by Seti@Home. We do a few things differently, but not anything that should tip the balance. However, as the results show, we do not line up with the credit award by Seti@Home. This is something that we need to analyze and understand. We have not had sufficient available time to dig into this in depth (to get to the bottom of it we need to track how the credit progresses over time which will involve outputting more data than the system is capable of doing now and then analyzing the progression over time). This is unfortunately, not trivial and thus hasn't been undertaken yet.

2) The issue of credit equivalence certainly matters to some people. One of the things we are looking at in the survey data is the size of the population that does see credit as a determining factor vs other factors. There has always been an abundance of great ideas on how to recruit and retain the volunteers but a limited capacity to do a successful implementation of those ideas. We want to prioritize what will yield the best results in terms of both new volunteers and long term engagement from our existing volunteers.

3) We have issues with credit internal to our own projects that we still have to resolve. This will take precedence over issue #1. Unfortunately, this also is something that will take a good chunk of time to figure out and resolve.

Re: UK
Nice Ian_UK, congrats. I'm 5 calender days from getting 1year RT but I think I might have that much 'banked' in my pending validation category so that badge should be a certainty now cool

And I'm off to bed, good night.

Re: UK
Congratulations, Ian_UK :-)

I've just made it into the top 2,000 for points worldwide. My next target is a long way (in time) off now!

Re: UK
Congrats to Ian_UK. applause

All you guys with impressive GPUs are sending me hurtling backwards in the global race, let alone the UK team. I just fell below 2000 in the global results ranking. crying
