Useful isn't it!

But they are exporting stats, so we need to stay in top 100 I suppose.......

It's an offshoot of the now defunct Zivis project I believe.
We already have a team created.

Just an update on the sheduling problems this project causes....

as discussed in the 100k-athon thread, Ibercivis is very buggy in that it downloads huge amounts of WU that can't possibly be completed within 24hrs. I had 196 WU downloaded before I hit no new work on a 3GHz P4HT.

Anyway, I just received a strange looking email. Expecting it to be spam I almost deleted it, but got curious, so using Thunderbird I inspected the email source.


This is what I found:

Dear all,

We have noticed that the current batch is not showing percent done. It is calibrated to fininsh in about 40-65 min in a last generation machine, and about 120-140 min in a portable with power-save options. In a machine not having the memory or power requisites, it will abort after a few minutes of calculation. Thus if the work has done about 10 minutes of CPU, you can be almost sure it is going to finish.

Usually this task is interspaced with docking, so the problem is not so noticeable. Now we are recompressing the docking molecules and only "materiales" batches are being sent.

If this subproyect is problematic, you can bail out from it, either at the corporate website (www.ibercivis.es) or at BOINC (registro.ibercivis.es). You can also get some feedback in our blog, ibercivis.blogia.com, or in the one of the subproject, http://materialescomplejos.blogia.com/ by leaving comments in some of the recent entries.

(by the way, you can also use the corporate site to "geolocate" your node)

Allow us to apologise again by this disturbance. We will recompile versions with the right "percent done" information in a couple weeks.

To opt out of future emails from Ibercivis, please edit your project preferences at http://registro.ibercivis.es/prefs.php?subset=project
Great, the email is entitled "apologizing" and it's from "WWW daemon apache", so easy to consider spam!

Anyway, if I read this correctly, perhaps the overloading may be fixed in a couple of weeks.
