NanoHive@Home (NHAH) is starting another run and WUs will be submitted to the queue on Monday, January 29. This next run will be a search for failure modes on 25 published dimer tooltips (like those seen in the nanofactory animation) and should provide for a couple months of solid work. It will be more like a typical BOINC project: there will be no restriction on the number of WUs you can process, all the WUs will be queued more or less at once, so there won't be any WU brown-outs while waiting for batches to complete, and WU deadlines are approximately one week.

NanoHive@Home finishes beta test round 5.08/client 1.21/server today.

NanoHive@Home begins beta test round 5.08/client 1.21/server today. A new limited-cache mechanism is activated for this round to improve the parallelization of effort for iteration-based simulations.

The current batch of WUs will finish to end this round of testing. WU production will then pause while we address several issues that have arisen. There are some new bugs to fix to be sure, but we need to implement some mechanisms that help ensure a wider distribution of available WUs. This is to help enforce the necessary parallelism for our simulations, but also to make WU availability more fair. Email will be sent when the next round of beta testing starts in a couple weeks, and next time everybody should find several WUs available to them for crunching.

NanoHive@Home opened beta testing today.
September 20, 2006
NanoHive@Home opened enrollment for beta testing today. Even though we're still preparing the beta test work and clients, several participants have requested that they be able to attach to NHAH now so that when work is available they can immediately begin crunching. NHAH work and clients will be uploaded next week.
