News of the research projects that Gridcoin pays for and of the Gridcoin releases, newest first. Press releases that companies pay to publish here are in the list too, marked as sponsored: Gridcoinstats does not write them and does not stand behind what they say.
Dear all,
After the second batch of simulations the result were similar: 99.5% of the simulations endend satisfactorily; 0.5% returned apparently normal but with invalid values. These results are stable enough to be able to perform a larger test. We actually need it to know if this small percentage of errors is due to something in the code or something in the clients. Currently the number of users returning invalid results is so low that it is hard for us to figure out what the difference…
Dear volunteers,
We are analyzing the first batch of simulations and so far the results are quite satisfactory. 98.35% of the tasks launched once the problems with the validator were solved, run without problems and their results were valid. 1.12% of them failed to boot into the client (all under the same user and host). 0.53% were tasks that were executed satisfactorily but whose results were not validated when comparing whit the results of the other volunteers. We are studying what could…
Dear users,
With the update of the boinc version and the relaunch of the project, there was an important change that we had forgotten to mention. Since the last time the project was in operation, the data protection regulation and also our perception of it has changed. Due to this, with the new version of BOINC we have taken the opportunity to give you the greatest possible control over your data and what can and cannot be done with it. That is why, by default, we do not assume any permission…
Good afternoon to everyone,
The problem with the validator has already been solved and currently the project is stable and processing the data that is arriving. We will continue to check if there is any other problem with the database, but it seems that the problem that caused the crashes has already been solved.
Soon we will launch another small batch of simulations to evaluate how the program is working. We have detected that in a few cases unexpected results return and we want to analyze…
Dear all,
As some of you may have read on the forum, we were experiencing some issues with the validator on Friday. These problems caused the server to be saturated and the database to crash (hence the access problems). We are analyzing the problems, as soon as they are resolved we will reactivate the processes to receive the tasks you have waiting for and be able to award the scores.
Again, thank you very much for your patience in this…
Dear users:
We're back! Not 100% yet, but we want to start testing the app and fixing any issues that may arise.
We have just released a small batch of tasks to see how it works (almost 1000 simulations). If all goes well, when those will be finished, we will send a package with approximately 40,000 simulations.
We had some problems with the update of the BOINC version so we imagine that we will have to solve small details. We ask for your patience at this re-start.
If the tests go OK, the…
Dear volunteers,
First of all, I hope that all of you and those close to you are well in this global pandemic.
This week is the anniversary of one of the hardest moments of this project. Three years ago, during a database update, it was corrupted. With this failure we detected that the backup system of the data base was not working as it should and we were only able to restore a 6-months-old backup. All this situation coincided just at the moment in which we stopped having a person dedicated…
Dear volunteers,
The role of beta tester is crucial for the development of this project. They compute when errors can easily occur and risking not getting a reward in the form of credits. From today, we want to thank all these volunteers a little more for their work and we want to do it in a public way. We have added a new badge for Beta testers and a new classification with the credit obtained in beta applications (http://denis.usj.es/denisathome/top_beta_users.php). Now you can identify them…
Dear volunteers,
We have experienced problems on the server and we had to restore the last backup. Thanks to the new backup system, the loss was only of 18 hours. The last messages in the forums will be missing and may be there will be problems with the tasks of this last day. We hope everything returns to normal as soon as possible.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Best regards,
Jesús.
Dear all,
Thank you very much everyone for your patient wait. I'm writting to you to give you good news. We sent an small block of tasks to check if all is working well this Friday. Little by little, we will send more task. It seems that everything is working well but we want to go slowly to ensure each step. We have still some things to improve but now we can say that we are back!
Many thank you for your collaboration
Jesus.
Dear volunteers,
First of all, I want to apologize for the long time since the last update of information. As I explained in other thread, we had a database crash. This problem coincided in time with a change of work of Joel, so I was alone to manage the crisis.
Unfortunately, due to other research and teaching commitments, I cannot now devote enough time to the project to be ready and re-generate results. So I had decided to stop it temporarily. I hope to restart the project in January or…
Dear volunteers,
These days we have been suffering problems in the database due to an update. Many information was corrupted in the process. We have recovery a backup copy but it is a bit old.
We are working to get everything working well as soon as possible.
Please, be patient and thank you in advance.
Best regards.
Dear all,
We are going to start a big simulation today. This is the last block of the subpropject entitled "New Carro et al. Human Ventricular Cell Model" (http://denis.usj.es/new-carro-et-al-human-ventricular-cell-model/). In this last simulation we use an optimization algorithm to improve the model. We estimate that the algorithm will need around 6 or 7 iterations and in each iteration we will send around 160000 new tasks. All this job will run in the CRN application.
We thank you in advance…
Dear volunteers,
Next week, I will attend the 61st Annual Meeting of the Biophysical Society in New Orleans. During the conference I will present a modification of one of the currents of our model (the calcium current). This current was modified to solve some problems of the model. We decided to modify this current thanks to the results obtained in DENIS, so we can say that this is the first scientific result in cardiac electrophysiology obtained thanks to your collaboration. Thank you very…
Hi everyone,
As some of you have noticed, there are new WUs in the system. We are starting with a small peak of work, but the idea is to maintain a continuous flow of new WUs.
This new part of the project is related to a Database of markers of the simulations. We are populating a database with relevant values of the simulations to make to scientist easy the way to make a exploratory study of the model or avoid making all the time the same simulations.
We are working on the interface of this…
Dear all,
We have created a Telegram Channel to send you information: https://telegram.me/denisproject. If you join this channel you will receive a Telegram message when we post something in the News Forum and when new simulations are uploaded to the CRLP2011EPI application.
We hope you find it useful.
Best regards,
Jesús
Dear all,
We are putting new simulations in DENIS (in the CRLP2011 app). These first simulations will be in small groups and little by little the groups will increase in size.
Thank you for your patient!
Best regards,
Jesús.
Dear all,
This week Joel is attending to the 25th IEEE WETICE Conference in Paris. He has presented a paper about our work in the project and he has been awarded as the best paper of his track (Collaborative Modeling and Simulation).
I want to thank you because much of the credit is yours! This project is a reality because you are supporting us. Thank you very much!
I want publicly to congratulate Joel, the award is a reflection of all the work he is being done on the project. Great job…
Dear all,
Ibercivis foundation is planning a Citizen Science event on June 30, in Zaragoza (Spain). We are going to be there, and it could be a good meeting to share our experiences. If you are in Zaragoza or close to here, we hope to see you the next month.
As soon as they publish the final program, we will share it with you.
Best regards,
Jesús.
Dear all,
Great news! A paper about DENIS has been accepted to be presented in the WETICE conference. Joel will be presented this project next June 14 in Paris.
You can find more information about the conference in this link: http://www-inf.int-evry.fr/WETICE/WETICE2016//index-2.html
Best,
Jesús.
Hi!
The new version of DENIS Simulator is out. We will generate some beta WUs to see if all is correct. To run those WUs, you have to modify your account preferences and check the option of run beta applications.
You can find more information about the new version here: http://denis.usj.es/denis-natrium/
Hi everyone,
It's sad for us to say that we will delay the launch of the new version at least one or two weeks.
Our team is small and health problems have a lot of impact on it. We suppose that in one week we will ready to work at 100%.
We will advice you when the new version will be available.
Best regards, Joel.
Hi everyone!
In the last months we have been working on a new web page of the project and now is on-line. You can see at http://denis.usj.es.
We have added more information about the project, the research we are doing and about the members of the team. We will gradually merge this page and the BOINC web page of the project.
We hope that this new web page will increase your knowledge of the project.
Any comment to improve it is welcome.
Thank you!
Best regards,
DENIS@Home staff.
Hi everyone!
We are ready to launch a new version of DENIS application, which will include more than one model, also, it will have new features for scientists like the ability to storage more parameters from the simulation.
We are working also in a new web page with more information about the project and the workunits organization, to do all that things we need to "purge" the system and prepare some scripts that will maintain the server paused this week.
We hope that the new web page and the…
