Server maintenance on Tue Aug 26
One of the system harddrives in the download server crashed today and needs to be replaced. We will therefore have a short downtime (approx. one hour) of the project next Tuesday.Best wishesThomas

SIMAP will leave BOINC by end of 2014 SIMAP is currently moving towards new algorithms for similarity calculations and scoring. After extensive tests and evaluations during the last months it turned out that the best way to continue SIMAP will be to use dedicated local hardware in our institute. SIMAP will therefore use BOINC only to maintain the current SIMAP database until the end of 2014. BOINC clients for the new SIMAP database will not be released and there will be no workunits for SIMAP after 2014. After 10 very successful years of SIMAP within BOINC this decision was not an easy one for us. However, we thank all users for their support in the past and in the upcoming last period until the end of the year.

As an adviser here is the link to the Simap Home Page - Look at the upper right hand corner, there you will see the number of remaining days (http://boincsimap.org/boincsimap/) the Simap Project will remain public. Once this time frame is run out there will be no more Simap Project to run. Get your work units now before there won't be any in the future!

Hurry get your Work units before they all run out... :blob3:

13 days and counting till the END of SIMAP

[Dirk Broer]

It may be a little longer (http://boincsimap.org/boincsimap/batchmonitor.php), but by the end of 2014 it is supposed to be the final curtain.

[Nflight]

15 days and counting till the END of SIMAP Yes there certainly is something fishy with their counting system.. :blob3:

[Dirk Broer]

I've fired up the afterburners, let's see whether I can overtake Liuqyn before the end!

[Dirk Broer]

According to this forum (sorry: in German) (http://boincsimap.org/boincsimap/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1592) the Simap WUs may very well last till early January,
so I will return to a steady Worp factor 5 till the 6th.

[Nflight]

Now stating just 9 days to go! :blob3:

[Dirk Broer]

I'm afraid for you that that -the nine days- is just for the present running batch, a new batch (#5 from 5, the very last (http://boincsimap.org/boincsimap/batchmonitor.php)) is being prepaired!

[Nflight]

Lets hope your right Dirk as the next number value is at 7 Days and counting. Which means someone could be wrong? I'll Huff and I'll Puff and I'll blow your theory right out of Work Units, Oh you get the picture! Don't you? :blob3:

[Dirk Broer]

I have my house built on photon-rockets this time, big bad wolf!
Nothing less than -at least- 4 threads per box on all my connected boxen save one (poor pentium dual-core from the missus of the house)

[Nflight]

I am gonna Huff and I am gonna Puff and bring along some flux capacitors to darken your little mansion, possibly elevate the neural net of your measly self supporting operation. What do I call you? Super Piglet ! Ha ha ha NO something better your now 'Particle Piglet' master of the Atom! Did I hear you escaped CERN you sneaky little particle!!!

[Dirk Broer]

So you are the one behind the 2nd OCZ PSU that died on me?
From now on nothing less than 80+ Gold certified PSUs for me...

[Nflight]

It is "I" Super Wolf; who snaggled your power supply and turned it into a bacon crisper appliance for you kitchen. :blob3:

[Dirk Broer]

Costed me the power LED of my Corsair 300R Carbide and two out of eight LEDs from my two Cooler Master Sickle Flow top fans (one each).
Box is now running on a spare Corsair CX600M that I got in exchange for the first dead OCZ.

[Nflight]

See Grandpa Particle Piglet your no match for my devious ways!

[Dirk Broer]

You are no match for me [red line], Mr. Wolf [blue line]. I've set my sights on Liuqyn and Chris Icide!

[Nflight]

Those are just squiggly lines with you leaving because the end isn't quite over yet here is the next day and 3 days less to crunch according to the SIMAP home page. 4 Days and counting :blob3:

[Dirk Broer]

Don't count on it (4 days)!

[Dirk Broer]

I've fired up the afterburners, let's see whether I can overtake Liuqyn before the end!

The mighty Liuqyn has fallen, I can point the photon rocket to Chris Icide now...

[AMDave]

... Grandpa Particle Piglet ...
I like that one :icon_mrgreen:

[vaughan]

This is a low paying project

[Nflight]

It most certainly is Vaughan but, as a TEAM EFFORT we just slid into 43rd place. Right now by a whopping 36 points. Thank You everyone for the fantastic output. :blob3:

[Nflight]

I am not Panicking ... Grandpa Particle Piglet ... We only have 35 HOURS LEFT :blob3:

[Dirk Broer]

35 hours till the last WU will be send, plenty days left to process them...

[Nflight]

Tick Tock and we have just 17 hours to go... :blob3:

[Dirk Broer]

Challenge still has 8 days, 14 hours and 45 minutes!
Bunkers/caches full?

[Nflight]

Sorry Dirk I just downloaded over 2,000 tasks to last me past X-mas !
