RNA World

[Michael H.W. Weber]

Hi guys, so the conference turns out to be a remarkable success. We have met a lot of people that are very interested in our project. Even better, we have acquired new collaboration partners that can help us in experimentally validating our computetaional results on a broader scale. Also, posters presented by independently working groups indicate that we are absolutely on the right track with our analyses. So, I am quite confident that we will soon make it for the first publication in a scientific journal. Moreover, we have scheduled the next conference presentation of RNA World which will take place in September in Dresden/Germany. Details on that at a later time.

We have released an OSX client today.

We are currently working on reorganizing the CMSEARCH application into two variants of which one will run a combined package of many very small WUs while the other runs the rest (the default CMSEARCH) WUs. With this we intend to achieve three goals. First, the combination of many tiny WUs into one package tremendously reduces the client-server communication load: a big relieve for our server which will make it significantly more stable even during team challenges and races. Second, the packaged WUs will write a checkpoint after each completed sub-WU. Third, because the users will be allowed to opt in or out for each of these two CMSEARCH variants there will be much more flexibility at the user's end to control maximum CMSEARCH runtimes.

@tm a few of the old cmsearch-wu are in the pipeline and after that the project can do final changes. (choice: long runners or the shorties )
new apps with more performance are out for MAC OS 10.4 +, Linux and Win.
also we need urgend testers with MAC OS 10.4 and 10.5 with intel 64bit.
( best you write directly here: http://www.rechenkraft.net/phpBB/viewforum.php?f=74 )
happy crunching

ps: you can see how many tiny wu are in a archive:
cms_GA-p[DZ-Lin64s]_7_Desulfitobacterium-hafniense-Y51_AP008230........
here are 7 in one archive.
can be over 100 or 1000.

yoyo has doubled some old wus, to get these archives finished. But this means, that these tasks got the same HR class as the existing ones.
So some HR-classes are now blocking the send queue and must be send first, before you get new work.
a few more 32-bit linux are helpful.

any problems, bugs or suggestions?

Yes saving checkpoints

hehe
Oooh yes! that's a big request from me.
A man developing it and I hope as soon as possible done.
