That's a fast machine. What was the other unit number? Mike |

Mike, you can find the other unit number (and more details) in the thread that I mentioned. Just click here.
----------------------------------------It wasn't easy to install my latest machine. There were some hiccups. At the end of November my girl-friend and I took the new machine from the computer shop for the first time. At home I installed the operating system and got BOINC started. That ran for a few weeks, but I found that the system was running too slow. The CPU frequency fluctuated wildly, causing an anomaly of 10-30% extra runtime. Later on I even found out that it was showing spontaneous reboots. After consultation with the computer shop, just before Christmas, we returned the machine to the shop. A new (read: considerably more expensive) motherboard was installed and we were able to collect the machine just after Christmas. We were so excited and focused on picking up the renewed machine at the store that we forgot to put the parking disc behind the front window. After loading the computer into the car, in the parking zone, I found a parking ticket behind the windshield wipers. The fine was 100 euros. At home I had quite a bit of trouble installing BOINC; I thought an empty gui_rpc_auth.cfg would be good, but BOINC refused (read: I couldn't get it to work despite my many attempts). Finally, after hours of tinkering, I installed BOINC with a 'normal' (auto-generated, non-empty) gui_rpc_auth.cfg. [Edit 2 times, last edit by adriverhoef at Feb 23, 2023 4:08:01 PM] |

Sorry about your troubles and the fine. I have been having machinery problems myself. My main PC i7-3770 had been having intermittent problems with the audio card - different problems each time - so I couldn't talk on Zoom. So I looked for a cheap alternative with reasonable power and found a reconditioned i7-3770 going cheap with Win 10 but only OpenOffice.. That is now just doing WCG and Zoom meetings and the previous machine is still doing WCG and various office functions. I also have a Mediatek tablet with a cracked face - that is useless for doing anything else because it will not respond to tapping, but it is still churning out WCG on its 4 threads. That makes a total of 20 threads working here. I enjoy spreadsheet programming and have one for WCG progress which forecasts time to next badge. That has badges up to 2000 years based on the old colour system which anyone can have a copy of. Mike |

Dear giba, OPN paused because the Team is preparing targets for a new SARS-CoV-2 protein, PLPro. Once the tasks are ready they will release the new workunits. In the meantime, they are validating the results obtained from the first set of predictions obtained from WCG. SCC is finalizing validations and some of the molecules seem very promising. Hopefully, we will be able to share some good news soon. Once they finish the validations they will set up and release new WUs, possibly in the next few months. HSTB team is also performing results validation, so they can prioritize what to test next. Thank you chiara p for all updates. We really are expecting contribute more soon for all. Gib@      |

Have we provoked a response? 7 extremes and 9 acclerated have been validated today. However, the 2 from generation 98 have stayed put and not moved to generation 99.
----------------------------------------No movement of the 3 ultras yet! Mike [Edit 2 times, last edit by Mike.Gibson at Jan 9, 2023 12:13:28 AM] |

Sunday Report
Only 532 units validated in a week so an average of 76 per day of which 5 (or7) were extremes & 11 were accelerated based on their generations. Assuming that a full generation 182 will be the last, there are 1,695,158 units still outstanding, so my forecast end date would now be 26 May 2027, however we are still coming out of testing so we should finish well before then. The definitions of normal, accelerated & extreme have remained generations 142, 132 & 127, respectively. There are 31 Extremes and 31 Accelerated units listed, although the numbers in their generations are 1,461 & 4,380 due to lack of movement/change of definition.. Mike |

Mike,
----------------------------------------Have we provoked a response? 7 extremes and 9 accelerated have been validated today. However, the 2 from generation 98 have stayed put and not moved to generation 99. For quite some time I've been wondering about the ones that don't seem to move on, and was wondering if it was something to do with units that end up tagged as invalid because of too many genuine errors (mostly SIGSEGV, as we know!) Such units would count as completed but wouldn't move... And in such a case we probably shouldn't say they've been validated (just "completed"), so some clarity on this would help :-)Adri's recent report on ARP1_0031151_128 in the neighbouring SIGSEGV thread might seem to confirm this -- there is a single generation 128 unit marked as completed in the file for 7th..8th January, and it didn't actually move on... If this was already known, apologies for "stating the obvious", but I don't recall seeing it discussed at any length... Cheers - Al. [Edit 1 times, last edit by alanb1951 at Jan 9, 2023 4:56:06 AM] |

Al, Mike,
----------------------------------------I don't know if you saw the new generations.txt … This was the situation '12 hours ago' (with generations 018 to 097 being empty): first_indexed | generation | num_units_currently_on_generation | num_units_completed_last_day | And this is the current situation: 2021-09-24 05:51:32 | 098 | 2 | | So the two workunits 098 that completed yesterday didn't advance. The most probable cause is - I think - that they ended up with a SIGSEGV error. (Of course I'm not 100% certain, there may be other causes.) Al: If this was already known, apologies for "stating the obvious", but I don't recall seeing it discussed at any length... Me neither, no need to apologize.  O, the one remaining workunit in both generations 101 and 103 also didn't move on. The one completed WU from generation 110 did advance; OTOH, the one completed WU from generation 112 didn't get promoted. Also, both completed WUs from generations 127 and 128 stayed put. 2021-10-07 22:43:22 | 101 | 1 | 1 | (yesterday) 2021-10-07 22:43:22 | 101 | 1 | | (currently) (099, 100, 102, 104 to 109 didn't move.) 2021-11-04 00:15:00 | 110 | 3 | 1 | (yesterday) 2021-11-04 00:15:00 | 110 | 2 | 1 | (currently) (generations 113 to 126 didn't move.) 2022-01-09 06:45:54 | 127 | 743 | 1 | (yesterday) 2022-01-09 06:45:54 | 127 | 743 | | (currently) (generation 129 stayed the same.) The explanation is from my point of view, of course. If something else happened, maybe somebody else can (try to  ) explain what happened there …Adri [Edit 3 times, last edit by adriverhoef at Jan 9, 2023 1:15:26 PM] |
