Badge system up and running!
You are seeing it :). Check your Account page too. 23 Jan 2012 | 12:30:50 UTC · Comment

Ladies and gentlemen, the GPUGRID Badges!
The Amino acids, components of proteins, the main characters in GPUGRID simulations. Given per total number of credits and milestones in 20 levels, the number of amino acids encoded by the universal genetic code (ordered by molar mass ~weight). Amino acid/credits equivalences below.

The Waters, basic component of life and a distinctive trait of our long and accurate simulations. 7 levels (Plastic, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Ruby, Emerald, Sapphire) to represent relative contribution to our scientific publications. Each water badge will be linked to the corresponding publication and Science topic. Water/percentage equivalences below.

The donor badge is changed to the crown

The complete information is available in the Volunteers page. We will update the server at the start of next week! 20 Jan 2012 | 14:52:37 UTC · Comment

More workunits in the long queue
Dears, we're sending 1000 more WUs related to the modeling of neural system.

These are named TONI_FAAEAC1 and TONI_FAAEAN1. They should give out 47700.9 and 36228.6 credits respectively.

As always, make sure you disable the "acemdlong" app in your GPUGRID preferences if you don't have one of the latest cards.

GPUGRID's new Badge System coming soon
This is the first formal announcement for the new Badge System. Next week, we will unveil the badge images, although the final implementation may still take two or three more weeks. We can already tell you that there will be two types of badges: one for the total number of credits (one badge per user) and one to acknowledge the relative contributions on our publications (one publication, one badge). More soon! 13 Jan 2012 | 17:33:54 UTC · Comment

HIV research update
There has been further project development in the HIV research line which you may find on the Science page of the website.

I would also like to personally thank all volunteers for their continued support of this research. Thanks to your crunching we have been able to uncover one of the fundamental processes in the maturation of HIV. Some further computing is required to complete the work (Tag: HIVPR) and we look forward to your continued support in the future. 20 Dec 2011 | 14:21:01 UTC · Comment

GPUGRID has a new website!
Guys, you are seeing it.

Thanks to the awesome work done by Ignasi, GPUGRID.net has a new, stylish, (even steelish :-) appearance. The redesign affected essentially all the areas of the website.

We (well, Ignasi) has paid especially close attention to the "Science" section - it's completely redesigned, and includes visual cues of the each major area we are doing research in. We hope you will enjoy it!

Needless to say, the forums and user/task/WU/server status pages are also updated and in sync with the new style, but they maintain all the old functionality. The BBCode thing is now functional. For more details, comments, etc., please refer to the "server and website" forum.

A whole-hearted thank you to Ignasi for this Christmas present to the group.

(Another) New publication: optimized methods to compute binding free energies
May the party continue with our second publication from GPUGRID computations! The work, also to be published at the Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation, presents the optimization of a previously developed protocol to accurately compute binding affinities between proteins and small peptides. Such methods may be employed in the future for drug design studies. WUs related to this publication are all the *pYEEI*. Congratulations to you all!

New publication: free energy of ion permeation through gramicidin A
Dears, we are happy to announce that the results of various GPUGRID-enabled studies were recently published in high-impact journals.

The first one I'd like to mention is "A high-throughput steered molecular dynamics study on the free energy profile of ion permeation through gramicidin A". The paper is a numerical investigation on the convergence of a molecular dynamics (MD) technique called "steered MD" (SMD), which is used to obtain free energy profiles (i.e. probabilities of occurrence of certain biological events). The SMD technique is essentially based on statistics: one has to repeat the same experiment (computational or otherwise) over and over, many times, until a reliable result is obtained. How many times, and how reliable? Up to now, studies performed SMD on biologically-realistic systems were limited to just a few (~10) trajectories, and the corresponding error was therefore hard to assess. We used GPUGRID to perform increasing number of pulls, up to two thousands, to verify how much the precision of a free energy profile was gradually improved as a consequence. (The answer, if you were wondering, is that one needs quite a lot of simulations).

T. Giorgino and G. De Fabritiis, A high-throughput steered molecular dynamics study on the free energy profile of ion permeation through gramicidin A, in press J. Chem. Theory Comput. (2011).

Resuming long WU supply: ABxx
I am also resuming the supply on the long queue. They are related to amyloid proteins, involved in diseases including Alzheimer's. The new tasks took 11h on a test GTX 275.

Resuming WU supply: KKAL5
After hopefully settling the scheduler issue, I'm gradually reopening the WU faucets. I'll be sending KKAL5/6/... workunits in the standard queue, which take ~6h on a GTX275. In addition to belonging to a protein of great interest , they are also part of a new approach which hopefully makes the best use of the simulated time, re-evaluating each day (or so) the simulation threads that are more promising. (And no changes is required on your side.)

If you are not getting WUs, please post in the "server and website" forum. 22 Apr 2011 | 18:56:14 UTC · Comment

Problem with scheduler
In order to fix the problem that the scheduler was not releasing wus, we have switched two days ago to the matchmaker policy for the scheduler which is less strict. Well, it seems that it simply ignores all the rules, so we have now reverted to the old scheduling mechanism and will try some new fix.

On recent WU cancellations and redundancies
Yesterday we had to cancel several WU due to an emergency related to inherited problems from Easter's blackout and our efforts to improve our in-house developed submission system. In addition, the fact that the output of such cancellations wasthe same to that the 'redundant results' lead to some confusion between these two states. The GPUGRID team appologizes for any credit lost in the case of the emergency cancellations but reminds again its users that NO CREDIT NEITHER COMPUTING TIME is lost in the case of common redundancy in results. We refer to this post and [url=http://www.gpugrid.net/forum_thread.php?id=868&nowr ap=true#7762]this one[/url] for information information.
