Validating backups is very important and also frequently skipped

The development of our new website makes some nice progress, and we hope we’ll get it online soon. How exciting

Dear mecole,
yes, FAS-RC is great and we couldn't do the project without them. In the backups we basically restore all the tape content into a temporary directory and compare this with the original, to make sure that the tapes actually contain a valid copy of everything in case of a catastrophic failure of the Jabba storage arrays. Best wishes from Your Harvard CEP team |

in case of a catastrophic failure of the Jabba storage arrays. In other words, to guard against a Leia attack? |

The CEP team and other members of the Aspuru-Guzik Group – the big boss included – gathered at the Tavern in the Square in Cambridge for this months “Science by the Pint” event. These meetings in “spirited” atmosphere are a neat outreach effort to engage the public in modern research. We definitely had a great time with interesting conversations and we hope that we were able to recruit a number of new crunchers for the World Community Grid

In other words, to guard against a Leia attack? Well, you never now who may want to carbonite-attack us  |

We completely failed to mention that we have now harvested more than 8000 years of computing time for CEP (SekeRob actually pointed it out already) and are these days averaging about 20y/d. This is an awesome statistic and we are very grateful for all your support!

We finally got around to catching up on all your forum questions and will hopefully be able to more regularly update you on our research again. The first several weeks of this year were crazy but now we are back in calmer waters… Hopefully

Is there any chance of getting a slightly more in-depth technical update on where the project is (i.e. any interesting things that you have found from the data we have crunched so far)?
