最近总算有点闲   看版上水有点少
想效法一下对岸的论坛

他们有专门文翻译ud官方新闻 虽然翻译的不太好(很多地方跟本翻错) 不过我觉得idea不错
想在本区也发一帖方便没时间上官网看公告的网友 顺便练习一下自己破破的英文(有翻错要指正喔)
先翻译一下近五期的新闻 以后会随这标题回文补上

Dear Members,

Here is the weekly status.

Rosetta (HPF) - The Rosetta job has been turned off. I wanted to leave this up to the individual members as to whether they still wished to run Rosetta (some like the screensaver), but some members were very vocal about having it turned off so that is what we did.

Cancer - As I mentioned before and someone confirmed with Inibox, we are rerunning the previous protein against the newest database from Oxford. This is not respinning old data for the sake of running something on Grid.org. I have deleted all of the previous jobs (1200, 600, 100 ligands) since they should have been processed by now. The newer 50 ligand WUs seem to be working for all. Some members have complained that they are processing too fast, but since we do not want to exclude members with slower machines, 50 ligands is what we are sticking with.

Thank you for your contribution.

rosetta任务已经结束了,我们之前留着是因为有少数用户希望能继续下去(有些人喜欢它的萤幕保护程式),不过在另一些用户的强力要求下我们现在已将它正式结束

在癌症的部份,如同我之前所说的和一些人从论坛里所确认的:我们现在重新运算来自牛津的最新蛋白质资料(译注:这批新资料最早时被切成1200ligands发包 ,但是跑太久了,后来改成600ligands还是太久,甚至连100ligands也被抱怨太久,所以现在切成50ligands重新发包) 我已经取消了所有(1200,600,100)任务回报的得分计算,因为照理它们现在应该都已被算完才对,现在的50ligands任务看起来运作顺利 有些人抱怨这些(50ligands)任务太快被算完,不过我们为了不想排斥那些电脑速度较慢的用户,往后将会维持50 ligands的任务

There is not much to report on this week. We continue to process cancer data and I think this is working for everyone.

这周没什么好报告的,我们继续运算资料而且看起来很顺利

Cancer Job - We continue to process the previous protein against the latest data from Inhibox. This is going pretty smoothly so there is not much to report.

我们继续运算这些最新的资料,看起来很顺利所以没啥好报告

Stats - The stats did not run for 9/15 as happens occassionally. I will manually rerun the stats job so hopefully these will be correct later in the day.

Connectivity - some members reported connectivity problems over the weekend. I am not aware of any issues that would have caused this. There may have been an issue with our ISP or something. In any case, everything should be working correctly now.

9月15的时候自动状态统计发生异常,我将手动启动状态统计的工作所以今日稍晚应可恢复

周末时一些用户回报了网路连接的问题,不过我没有发现任何的错误,可能是我们的isp或其他什么的造成问题,总之,网路现在应该是正常的

Grid.org status

Things appear to working pretty smoothly at the moment. Stats are up to date and I have not heard any more complaints about connectivity. The cancer jobs continue to run without crashes.

事情一切顺利,状态统计更新正常而且已经没有网路不能连接的问题被回报,癌症任务在没有任何错误的情况下继续在运行

Here is the weekly status.
Cancer job - Nothing new to report. We continue to crunch through the data. I uploaded a new batch today so there should be new workunits available.

本星期报告:
癌症任务 -无新事项报告,我们继续消化运算这批资料,我今天上传了新一批资料上去所以你们有些人应该开始算到新工作了

对啊，奇怪
又没说明，两天了  

但国家的有，团队的都没进来
个人也没影响

再等等看

Here is the weekly status.

Cancer Job - No change. I did upload some new WUs late last week. Everything appears to be running smoothly.

Stats - We still have an issue with a couple of days of team stats - 10/5 and 10/8. I am going to manually kick off the rollup script so hopefully both will be fixed by tomorrow. As far as exactly why this occurs, I am not a mssqlserver expert (by far). Occassionally the stored procedure that does the work times out and does not complete. Nothing is lost and it is a simple matter to kick off the procedure again by hand so members should not panic about this.

Thank you for your contribution.

有关癌症任务的部份没有什么变化,我这星期又上传了一些新的任务上去,一切看起来都很不错

状态统计的部份-在团队状态统计我们仍然有些状况还没有解决-(10/5和10/8), 我将会手动重启rollup的程序希望明天就能将这两问题一并解决;我不是msql似服器的专家,我无法经确的说明为什么会发生这种事,不过大致上来说这是因为某个储存的程序工作逾时且未完成它的工作,没有任何资料损失而且只要简单的将此程序重开就可解决问题,因此各位用户不用对此事太过惊慌

不知道到底找到了癌症解决的方法了没

Dear Members,

Here is the weekly status.

Stats - We have an issue with stats currently. For some reason, the stats job keeps failing. We have not identified the problem yet. Nothing should be lost as far as points. We just need to get the job to run correctly to tally up all of the stats. I am not sure when this will be fixed so please be patient.

亲爱的成员：

这是本周的情况报告。

统计--目前我们在统计上有一个问题。由于种种原因， 统计工作持续故障。 我们目前尚未找出问题。 在分数上应该没有任何遗失。我们需要得到工作正确地跑相符所有统计。这部份工作我不确定何时可以修复，所以请耐心等候。

等了好久，终于有了回应
应该是网页资料库的问题
希望能早日修护

Dear Members,

As you are probably aware, we have had some issues with stats recently. After a few days of manually running all of the jobs, the stats appear to be caught up. We did not encounter any errors when trying to run manually which is strange. Tomorrow we will see whether the stats are able to run automatically after the manual intervention (and a reboot for good measure). If not, we will continue to manually run the stats as we troubleshoot the issue further.
亲爱的用户
正如你们所发现的,我们的状态统计更新最近有点问题,在经过我们这些天的"手动"进行统计工作后,状态统记终于赶上了,我们在手动更新的过程中没有发现任何问题,明天开始我们会先停止手动更新-再试自动更新看是否正常,如果还是不正常我们未来会继续执行手动跟新直到我们找到问题在哪

Greetings and Happy Holidays!

First of all, on behalf of United Devices I’d like to thank each and every one of you for your steadfast support of this unique, invaluable resource. For the last several years, Grid.org has played an important role in some tremendously important research and it is the largest and most respected volunteer-based grid of its kind in existence. None of that would be possible without all of you!

We have some exciting information to convey concerning Grid.org status and plans – but before I do that, please allow me to express our sincere regret for the frustrations that some of you have been experiencing lately. During the past year we have had technical difficulties with Grid.org that have contributed to your frustrations, but we have changes planned that should significantly improve your experience.

These are some of the plan highlights we have for Grid.org in the coming months:

We will migrate the Grid.org software to the latest version. Planning for this is well underway, and the migration will begin in the first quarter of 2007! In the first quarter (Jan-Mar) of 2007, we’ll begin a Beta Program (see below) in preparation for the final upgrade to the new release. We will perform the entire upgrade to the new version by end of Q2 of 2007.

The following new features will be introduced with the latest version.

- Support for multi-processor and multi-core machines
- Support for cache ahead so that users can request multiple work units
- Enhanced non-intrusiveness options
- The possibility for members to generate their own tools, GUIs, and reports using a new Grid MP Agent API
- New look and feel for the Grid MP Agent GUI
- Improved support for Microsoft XP operating system – enhances support for multi-users and allows fast user switching
- Support for Microsoft Vista operating system (both 32-bit and 64-bit)
- Support for Microsoft Internet Explorer 7
- Overall performance improvements to the grid
- General defect repairs

Right now our outreach committee is actively working on reviewing and selecting new projects to run on the updated Grid.org software. The initial conversations we’ve been having look very promising and we should be ready to make an announcement about the selected project by end of Q1 2007, to launch in the May-June timeframe. Your active co-operation in the Beta program will be key toward expediting this process!

As mentioned above, we will implement a Beta program and ask for volunteers to help with Beta testing of the new system. This program will initially be implemented with a target of 100 volunteers as the first phase of the upgrade to the new version of Grid.org. The Beta program will run for several weeks and is intended to identify any deployment issues that might be lingering in the new version so we can resolve them prior to the upgrade of the entire member community. We will provide you with additional details and initiate a call for Beta volunteers shortly before we begin the program.

Thank you once again for your continued support of Grid.org. We’re looking forward to keeping you informed on status of the initiatives outlined above – visit this site regularly for more information.


Sincerely,

Mary Bass

祝各位佳节愉快
首先,我要代表UD感谢大家长久以来坚定的付出你们无价的资源,在近几年来,UD在这些巨大的研究计画中扮演重要的角色,同时它也是目前最大的分散式运算计画之一,当然 没有你们的付出这些都不可能会达成!


我要传达一些有关UD令人兴奋的消息,但在那之前请容我向你们说声抱歉,在过去的几年我们碰到了技术上的困难造成你们对UD的失望,但我们现在调整了策略应该不会再让你们失望了

以下是最进几个月就会实行的几项要点
我们将会更新目前的UD程式至最新版!
这项计画已经正在进行了,预计2007年第一季测试版就会出来,在明年的第一季我们会完成测试最新的版本并在第二季之前完全更新完毕
以下是新版程式的新功能
1.支援多处理器和多核心
2.支援快取让使用者能下载更多任务备用
3.增强non-intrusiveness 的选项   (译按:不懂non-intrusiveness是什么意思)
4.提供API 可支援使用者自订GUI画面或自己的外挂小程式等等的到UD程式上去
5.新的GUI画面
6.支援XP系统-允许快速切换使用者
7.支援VISTA-32bit&64bit
8.支援IE7
9.整体效能改进
10.修补前版缺陷

同时我们的委员会也正在审查要放在新版软体上跑的新的PROJECT,我们将会在2007 Q1一起宣布是哪个新PROJECT被选定,然后在五到六月会正式丢下去RUN,你们在BETA版程式所给的意见会帮助这程式的改进

如上所述,我们需要自愿者来帮忙测试BETA版的程式,第一阶段我们预计招募100名自愿者协助测试,越早把问题测试出来就越可能在程式正式给全体用户RUN之前就把问题改进,我们会提供自愿者额外的细节帮助他们测试

再一次谢谢你们的贡献

最近看到这消息
心想总算知道要更新程式了
2002年的版本还在用它打天下?
它程式中给分基准的CPU-P4 1.5G现在不知道还有几个人在用...XD

不过话说我也好久没碰UD了,都在跑另一个BOINC....

其实不管新旧的本版
我在意的是找到癌症解决方法没
