Hello, I was repeatedly asked to liberate some disk space for this project. A few months ago, a brand new RAM disk was put in both my PCs. So, the disk space was multiplied 100 times the former space. Nevertheless I never received any WU for this project again.

Hello, I was repeatedly asked to liberate some disk space for this project. A few months ago, a brand new RAM disk was put in both my PCs. So, the disk space was multiplied 100 times the former space. Nevertheless I never received any WU for this project again. As has been mentioned, there haven't been results returned for this project (from anyone) since May 2016. Personally I haven't gotten one since April 2016. Hopefully we'll see some resolution soon; I personally liked this project quite a bit! Until then we can only wait... Cheers, Mike ![]() |

I am hopeful someone communicates about the problems this project is having. When online, it was my number one priority of all BOINC projects. Ten months is a long time.

Just adding another voice to the chorus here: WHEN WILL THIS PROJECT RETURN? Tell us that it's not dead please.... A lot of us were wanting to up our badge colors specifically for this project. We are hoping it isn't gone.... but we haven't had any updates in nearly a year.. This is a very long time to wait for an update on our favorite BOINCutation project.

Yes, I also would like to add my voice to the chorus here.
I have invested almost 20 years of CPU time in this project because I believe that the sooner mankind gets off fossil fuels, the better. This morning, I read on CNN about how locals are using solar panels to electrify Africa. The Clean Energy project is a great project but to go a year without any workunits sinks. In addition the lack of communication by the Harvard Team shows no class. At the rapid pace of green energy technology, are the results generated in this project going to be relevant? Is the project dead? |

Here's yet another voice, asking (pleading) for some kind of update (even if it's "we're working on it"). This project used to be one (if not the best at communicating - but, not now.
----------------------------------------Please just let us know what's happening. Any timescales would be a bonus. ![]() [Edit 1 times, last edit by gb009761 at Mar 15, 2017 1:55:56 AM] |

Not all research is successful. They may have found out that the potential for organic solar cells is limited. They now have to compete with pervoskites at the low-cost end of the spectrum, silicon in the middle, and III-V materials at the upper end.
----------------------------------------https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perovskite_solar_cell They probably rely in part on federal funds, and there is no guarantee that the money will be renewed if other approaches are more attractive. There are other possibilities of what is happening, for example better analytical techniques that require new software to be developed, and they may not need BOINC at all. I would like an update too, they should have done that already, but I am not expecting miracles on what they can achieve. It is all research.

Hello all,
----------------------------------------The latest CEP2 project update is still in the review phase. Unfortunately, I cannot give an estimate on when it will be ready to publish. As soon as it's ready, it will be posted. Thank you for your patience, ErikaT [Edit 1 times, last edit by ErikaT at Mar 15, 2017 5:02:48 PM] |
