Yes, but in this case he/her has accounts in more than one project. The user name is not a unique identifier in BOINC.

No, we need to review the results of these tasks. For a couple of weeks the work will not be constant.

Post:
Yes, for some simulations it is necessary much more memory. I will check if we can improve the estimation or we can reduce it, but not in the short term.

Yes, it is the same sofware (I have not recompiled it to remove the Beta information), but it has been tested enought and it can be considered stable.

Hi adrianxw,
I have written to the email of the account that you are not using. If you receive it, you will be able to know the email address you used to create it and recover the password. Once you will be in, you can transfer the permissions of the team to your real account.

They are stored there, but for sequrity the content of the folders now is not listed. You need to request the especific files. For example: https://denis.usj.es/denisathome/stats/user.gz

Getting tasks also, thanks for your hard work Jesús and keeping us updated.

Any Idea if work will be more consistent?

Regards
SV


Not at least during a few weeks. Later we hope to send tasks more periodically to maintain always task in the queue.

A bit sad but it is not the first time I notice such behaviour, maybe due to some compilation options ?


Maybe, we will check

I think the problem is solved, it started sending 80 tasks but later stopped. Now it is working.

Dear volunteers:
As we had indicated in previous messages, we had to stop fitting the model because there was an experiment that we could not fit well. After analyzing our results, we believe that one of the limiting factors could be in the number of simulations we do to fit the behavior of the model in the experiment. Therefore, before continuing with the model fit, we are going to do a new test to study this in detail. We just put in new simulations to help us analyze this experiment to see if we can improve the model and its fit.

Thank you for your patience during this break. After analyzing the results of this experiment we hope to be able to resume the simulations.

Best,
Jesús

========================================

Estimados voluntarios:
Tal y como os habíamos indicado en mensajes anteriores, habíamos tenido que parar el ajuste del modelo porque había un experimento que no conseguíamos ajustar bien. Después de analizar nuestros resultados, creemos que uno de los factores limitantes podría estar en el número de simulaciones que hacemos para ajustar el comportamiento del modelo en el experimento. Por ello, antes de continuar con el ajuste del modelo vamos a hacer una nueva prueba para estudiar esto en detalle. Acabamos de poner nuevas simulaciones que nos ayuden a analizar este experimento para ver si podemos mejorar el modelo y su ajuste.

Gracias por la paciencia en este parón. Después de analizar los resultados de este experimento esperamos poder retomar las simulaciones.

Un saludo,
Jesús.

Hi!
We have returned from vacation this Monday. Before next Wednesday, we will launch a group of simulations again.

Thanks for waiting.

Dear volunteers,
Due to work overload in other projects we will not be able to restart sending tasks until January. Sorry that this break is taking longer than expected, we want to get back as soon as possible.

All the best,
Jesus.

====================

Estimados voluntarios:
Debido a sobrecarga de trabajo en otros proyectos no vamos a poder relanzar el envío de tareas hasta enero. Disculpad que esta pausa esté siendo más larga de lo esperada, queremos volver cuanto antes.

Un saludo,
Jesús.

Hi Greg,
I answer your last questions:

So your saying essentially is one of the data points is not conforming to the science.

The result of the model is not conforming to the experiments. No model is perfect, we are always trying to get better models, but there will be always things to improve.

Maybe it would be faster to just drop that problem and send us the rest of the data.

The process is iterative: we send you 1000 combinations of parameters, and using this information we try a best set of 1000 combinations of parameters. The decission of removing one experiment affects to the next combinations.

Is this your only distributed computing project?

Yes, this is not the only research we do, but we have only one BOINC project.

Do you have something else you can send out to keep the project going while you figure out what's going on with the current project?

No yet, we have some ideas but we need to prepare them.

I just suspended your project for now and will check back end of the month.
But a project with a month of no work, people may leave and may never come back

Possibly, we are aware, but we cannot work faster. As has been said in another message, we trust that you will come back and as soon as we are going to launch simulations again we will also notify you from the client.


Thank You Jesus

Thank you!

Hi all,
It is taking us a little longer than expected to analyze the problem.

It is not easy to explain it, but broadly speaking it would be the following:
    1. To improve the model there are a series of parameters that we can modify.
    2. The simulations that we send to your computers replicate experiments that have been carried out on human ventricle cells and that have been published.
    3. Every simulation runs a different protocol with a different combination of parameters.
    4. With the results that you send us, we analyze them to calculate the same markers that were calculated in the laboratory with the experiment you have replicated.
    5. With this we obtain about 100 markers for each combination of parameters that we can compare with the experimental results.
    6. For each combination, it is scored with the differences between its results in the model and the experimental values.
    7. We have an optimization algorithm that tries to find the combination of parameters that gives the best score (which would be the closest to what has been seen in the experiments).



There is one of those 100 markers that is not getting anything like what has been seeing in the experiments and no matter what we modify we do not get it. We need to check carefully what it happening. It could be:

    a) A limitation of the model that is not able to reproduce it (in this case we will probably leave this marker temporaly out and address it in the next step of the investigation)
    b) Some kind of error in the calculation of this marker in step 4.



Another limitation at this moment is also time, finding this problem has been combined with a moment in which we have little time available to dedicate to this project (we have others underway and at this moment, this one should advance a little more autonomously). I'm the first who wants to clear up this question (I can't get it out of my mind), but we'll have to delay a couple more weeks.

I don't know if the explanation is good enough, or if it was understood. I can give more details but I don't want to lose you among more complex things. If you want to known more, ask and we'll continue talking about the marker.

Thank you for your patience and for your interest.

Best,
Jesús

Hi Greg_BE,
We are still analyzing the problem. At least one week more.

Hi LM,
Thank you for join the project. The project is not down but we will stopped for one or two weeks: https://denis.usj.es/denisathome/forum_thread.php?id=242#1924

Tasks will be back soon.

Best,
Jesús.

Hi!
I'm sorry for the late response. I have posted in news explaining it: https://denis.usj.es/denisathome/forum_thread.php?id=242#1924

Tasks will be back soon!
