I left there over 6 months ago because of their cancer mess (re-doing old units without telling people there was no new work). And that had already been going on for a while until a user discovered what was going on.
----------------------------------------They kept putting out notices like 'will have new cancer work any day now'. Guess what, I just looked at their forum today and....... something like "Maybe this month some time". Still at it I see  [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Feb 1, 2006 12:08:04 PM] |

When I dropped by, just recently (trying to assess the various life science projects) it definitely gave the impression that their cancer research was not only ongoing, but actually current.
Yet they were rather coy about exactly what they were doing. To be honest, it confused me. Transparency is good... so long as it isn't so transparent as to be entirely invisible.... :-D |

They are awaiting new data from Oxford.
Apparently the work isn't processing as it should or whatever. The so-called current cancer work is an endless recycling of the same batch of 20 work units. The ball is in Oxfords court on this one. |

I have a conference call with our Oxford contact tomorrow morning to discuss the new data and the results I sent a couple of weeks ago. After the call, I hope to have much more information to share. I know there is frustration about not having all of the new data loaded for members to work on. Since Oxford is the one that will ultimately be using the results, I have had to wait for them to respond as to the validity of the results. That is out of my control. Regardless of what Oxford has to say, I will load some more of the new data next week. If the data must be recrunched later, so be it. I was trying to minimize the amount of data that must be reworked to cut down on the complaints about wasted time later. Since there are already complaints about time wasted crunching the same workunits, I guess it does not matter. Please understand that having the data validated by Oxford is the bottleneck here and that United Devices is ready to upload all the new data as soon as the results are confirmed. Is the what they said as of the 26th. I went back with just one computer but as soon as I see something worth going back to I'm there. A. It's cancer and B. I REALLY like the tact they are taking. AKA We really don't know what will work but these groups show the most promise. Lets checkout everything in them. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Feb 2, 2006 3:49:41 PM] |

From gird. Looks as if they got something together finally. Not quite enough for my liking but something.
I have received confirmation from our Oxford contact that the sample result data from the latest cancer job looks good. This means that we are ready to start crunching all of the new data. The new data will be uploaded in pieces (jobs) just like we have been doing with Rosetta. When a job has completed, I will allow at least a week for any outstanding results to be uploaded by members. This is great news for all of us. Thank you for your continued patience and contribution. |

When a job has completed, I will allow at least a week for any outstanding results to be uploaded by members. That's kind of uncool. grid.org does not have as much server capacity as WCG. If you run too many workunits with UDMonitor, you may not get credit over there if they are too old. Here, I just keep running continuously with the oldest of 5-7 days worth of workunits available, and haven't lost any of over 1600 results sent in. Well, I lost a couple when I was trying to match some memory sticks, but that's another story.
