Is ChessBrain down still?

[vaughan]

I just see

0226-183226 | Searching for route to SuperNode server...
0226-183226 | Using route 64.71.165.209.

Is anyone getting and work crunched?

[NeoGen]

I tried for a bit yesterday too and got nothing.
Our team hasn't moved an inch yet for a couple of days already so I guess they're still down...

I'm not getting any work. I'm seeing the same thing you are. :cry:

[vaughan]

Doomeva tells me that the reason for the WARNING statement in your Sig "is that you can cause someone a serious injury when you whack them over the head with it".

:shock:

[bwhite]

That could be true. The warning doesn't say if the injury is to yourself or others or both :twisted: :? :shock:

[Beerknurd]

carpal tunal maybe.....

Anyone who gets work from Chessbrain?

I got same message as Vaughan described in the first post.

Lagu :-(

[Ototero]

Mine seems dead too :cry:

[NVM]

bah!

Yep, still down.

Hej svejs

What is going on with Chessbrain? Is this project kaput? I haven't got any work so I shouted the agent and the log off yesterday. Today I tried again but nothing happen. It is a bad project and a clean lottery.

I haven't been able to connect for ages. I notice from Boks stats that Vaughan did some work yesterday. Is this true?

There are still lots of AMD Users missing from the stats, including me :cry: .

Does anyone out there have any news?

[vaughan]

I just left some clients on-line trying to connect. I was actually in Brisbane so I don't know if they did any ChessBrain work. None are able to connect as I write this.

[SlackPawn]

It's been down for a couple weeks or more. Since the CB forums don't exist any more, we can't find out any information without emailing cjus or somebody.

It'll be ood to get the stats moving again

So what is the point of chessbrain?

[AMDave]

In a nutshell, I would say...pushing the boundaries of computer based learning algorithmns and the development of DC frameworks.

In 2002, Chessbrain was bleeding edge development:
http://www.chessbrain.net/docs/cblinuxjournal0903.pdf

Admittedly, the Chessbrain media focuses on the development of the distributed computing framework and techniques utilising current software and hardware technology, so I expect that many will tell you this.

However, whilst the algorithms of Chessbrain itself are somewhat bent towards the game, it does give the development and evolution of learning-algorithms and theory a big nudge (even though cjus plays this down so well).

Learning-algorithms are still a difficult area of intelligence research, so it seems sensible to me, from a sponsorship perspective, that the Chessbrain media should focus on the more immediate outcomes of exploration and improvements in DC technology as opposed to the algorithm development, which I personally consider to be the greater goal.

Learning and Knowledge Based systems is a tough patch requiring massive amounts of computed results. Chess requires high level of detail to be computed for "informed" decisions to be made before the "learning algorithms" come into play and can be tested, so it makes for a great algorithm delvelopment platform as well as lending directly to DC.

That's where we come in.

I am waiting to read further documentation on cjus's modifications to the platform, however I hope to find that the decision process itself has been distributed (much like we percieve it to be in the human brain) in that the remote supernodes could now be formulating and reporting decisions from the evidence from their clients, to which the central server will applying weightings and applying "judgement".

...but I am crossing bridges not yet built...I am hanging out for cjus's paper.

That's my take on it, but I am wide open to any other opinions and I'd be interested in hearing them.

bout time.....
Zergs !!! where !? where !? :shock:
That's waaay too much StarCraft for you Beerknurd :D
:oops: ...and possibly me, too!
:lol:

[Beerknurd]

No, for me it's been too much Guild Wars... Dang that game is addictive....
