It's sort of in between beta and production. :)

They have been studying different models in the past and part of that is also the development of the proper executables.

I suspect they may be looking at the server system currently before releasing another batch.

For the moment, we'll have to wait till Jesús drops an update...

Believed it was mentioned in the Number Crunching section, but the last run was resulting in huge WU result backlogs too so folks were not able to upload results due to the server being all filled up with WUs waiting to be cleared.

Also, this isn't like SETI or Einstein where this is one of the primary roles of the researchers. They still have their daily duties they had to tend to which takes priority at times over the project. It doesn't mean they aren't serious, but this isn't a project with a large budget.

Einstein@home is a long running project... with SETI@home retired, it may now be the oldest project.
They ALWAYS have work for CPU and GPU. If you're not getting work, something may not be configured correctly in your client or the project settings.

Asteroids@home usually has work, CPU & GPU, but sometimes the work temporarily runs dry before they can restock.

DENIS@home is only doing beta work currently. They are testing out and then updating apps for a new model recently developed. The project isn't their primary focus. They have primary duties that can require their attention, although they do their best to keep working with the project.

World Community Grid is a crap shoot whether you get any work at any one time. They ALWAYS have issues and ALWAYS claim they don't need any help. You have to go digging for info on outages in the forums...when the forums aren't down too....

It's just the one page (that I can see, I haven't exhaustively checked each page) that has an error at the top.

The page DOES seem to be updating despite the error though as the backlog had dropped down to 4000 now from the 5 figures it was at...

Unlike some other projects, Jesus, the admin, has been very responsive to inquiries and issues throughout DENIS's inception.

A bit of patience and understanding is certainly reasonable here...

There's an error appearing at the top of the server status page

https://denis.usj.es/denisathome/server_status.php


set_cached_data(): can't open ../cache/f2/server_status.php_job_status


However, it's still showing all the information (although I don't know it that's current).

We should digress discussing this in the news topic lest we turn DENIS forums into WCG...

It is nice to see DENIS moving through being full-time active again. We're not there yet, but last few weeks there's been a fair amount of work often available.

If you want a non BOINC GPU/CPU program to run for science, then download Folding@Home. They often run stuff that was designed by Baker Lab and take stuff from many other sources that are looking for a home in the DC world. Don't think their tech requirements are to strict.





Folding heavily favors GPU in preference and in terms of credit and while not exclusively GPU, that has been their focus for a whiles. If you're a GPU cruncher then Folding is definitely a good project to run.

Folding@home let's you choose a preference on what to work on, but ultimately the workload determines what you receive. Even within the categories, there are different studies going on so what your computer is working on one day may not be the same next week even if it's the same category (and the same study may not be both on CPU & GPU). For some folks, not being to specifically crunch for your preferred category may be a deal breaker.

Neocortix spent a lot of effort helping Folding@home (got to avoid calling it Stanford as it's not Stanford anymore) develop a new Android client then just decided to abandon it. (Neocortix also worked with Rosetta for the Android platform.) The project seems to be ignoring posts in regards to Android support. Their love is GPU.

Thanks for the update!
But due to bad experience at the World Community Grid (which, with their handling of their projects, has probably driven a lot of folks over here in recent months, including me), PLEASE, even if things go bad, which is something that can always happen, try to post some update quickly about what is going on. And if the forum is taken down as well, put it up on your FB site or X.



DENIS doesn't have nearly the number of folks WCG SUPPOSEDLY has. It's a small project in terms of resources. Keep that in mind. The irony is that Jesus is quick to respond to things as soon as he aware of them. I have let him know a few times when the project was down for an extended period and he's been pretty quick to take care of things once he received the message. He's also been fairly responsive to inquiries in the forums.

I still run a little WCG, although since they keep running out of work or it's allocated to other OS, my systems don't hit them often. It use to be my main project as cancer is a close to home interest. But it's all turned out too little too late. The icing on at all is turning down volunteers and then be unable to report in / respond to the volunteers.

Have you thought about creating a screensaver of some kind. Doesn't have to be elaborate, but maybe some kind of simple simulation? Take for example the World Community Grid screensavers. They aren't elaborate, but show a type of simulation of what is being studied.

I thank you for keeping us updated and we appreciate your active engagement. With things constantly changing it's hard to put everything together to understand the different things you are studying and the methods.

It also be a chronicle of DENIS@home journeys. In 2022, after a long absence DENIS@home relaunched. The first things we began to study were... we discovered that y performed better than x in chronicling abc. We further refined... etc, etc.

Very best,

Yav

Jesús,

When you have a chance, could you make an article explaining the different works you are studying and the approaches? As time passes, you can just update that article or reference other articles on how those studies/approaches how worked out... The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly. ;)

Thank You. :)

It probably be more useful hitting the active forums devoted to BOINC out there and letting folks know. Lot of folks still don't know DENIS is still back up. I've posted a couple of times at BOINCStats.

It is listed on the BOINC projects page.

All out of love (WUs)...

I turned work fetch off hoping WCG was going to have some work going today, but alas no and I burned through my cache. Ah well, I'll run some TN-Grid.

Notice DENIS (project and website) was mostly down last night in late evening out here California. Thought maybe the server was overloaded. All seems to be functional again this morning.
