    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 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...

    It may be a little longer, but by the end of 2014 it is supposed to be the final curtain.

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

    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) is being prepaired!
