Is it still worthwhile to compute for this project, if they're not doing anything with the data?

Hello Zeta_Metroid,
Select SEARCH and get the complete list of posts by Alessandra Carbone, most recently about the Christmas update to the website. Here is a recent post I made ( https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/...d,32499_offset,160#380219 ), which explains that Professor Carbone is extremely busy right now selecting targets that we rerun with new parameters. Just check Statistics - By Projects to get an idea how busy. So she is not ignoring her project. Lawrence |

Yes, it does go to the post. Here it is in its entirety.

This is my understanding of the HCMD2 situation. As always, I may have misunderstood everything, but if things are the way I think they are, we are going to get only rough estimates of when HCMD2 will actually close down. Just to give one specific example, I will say, as authoritatively as an unofficial Community Advisor may, that HCMD2 is indeed over - - in a sense. We have run the program over all the selected molecules. However, as in a kitchen, recipes have to be changed with varying ingredients. We ran each molecule with a selected set of factors. The molecules keep changing size and shape and we did not select the best set of factors for some of them. Now that we have all the results, some check programs are running over them and an occasional molecule is being picked out and rerun with a new set of factors. This sort of hand-crafted secondary run is going to be slow and not very teraflops intensive. We are back to human speeds at selecting each molecule. Other projects have problems a bit like this. It all depends on the project. Lawrence [Jun 6, 2012 2:22:25 AM] Show Printable Version of Post View Member Profile Cheers

Yes, it does go to the post. Oooh - dangerous claim! It certainly DOES go to the post - IF you are signed in. If you aren't signed in, you land on a previous post from Speedy51 and need to scroll down - a trifle obscure. (I use Firefox - not sure whether that would make a difference) This link should land you on the correct post regardless: https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/...d_thread,32499_offset,178 (but I only tested using Firefox) Perhaps something for the board admin to look at...  |

It's in fact signed in and the forum personal settings that make or break these offset links. Only "works always" [without the address edit tricks deployment] is right clicking on the printer icon at bottom of post and choosing copy link location, then post that.
But, the OP is wildly suppositioning in the negative. Had the effort be taken to click on the Research link up left and HCMD2 , there is the Project News link at left, which leads to the last article by Prof. Carbone on her site which as mentioned by Lawrence was published in December. And, if the workup of the current 2500-2544 batches is no sign that something is done with the data, then I don't know what. It's hot here, non stop for over 2 months, it [possibly] makes physically and mentally lazy I suppose, [lack of electrolytes I suppose ;O], so we plan to go up the mountain again on Wednesday... 6C temperature drop per 1000 meters vertical ascend. The downside is, you get even more UV grilled, so factor 50 is put on the exposed skin. |

If the current workup of the 2500-2544 batches is indicative that work is being done, then is it possible for you to say what kind of work it is? Is it to fix errors from the original batches, or are new directions being taken (maybe both are the same thing?)

Hello kismetix,
As far as I know, all the current work units are old targets being run with new parameters which have been selected to fix problems with the initial computation. Lawrence |
