We launched the Mapping Cancer Markers project this week and accelerated the first batch so that we could check the results sooner for any anomalies. Unfortunately, we found a limitation with the default random number generator being used for the project. The increased volume of results revealed some duplication of computation due to this. That is, the results computed are valid and correct, but in some cases they are duplicated instead of exploring new regions of the search space. For this reason, we are temporarily pausing the project and making some code changes to improve the random number generator usage. We will run a brief beta test for this change and if all looks good, will soon (in a few days) resume the project at full speed. The nature of research is that it often contains unexpected surprises and this is just one of them. Members will receive the normal credits for the work already performed. Thank you for your contributions and support of the project and more importantly thank you for your patience with this.

Did wonder, in another post, how you were administering what was being computed.

I hope, this doesn't have any effects for those users, who downloaded a lot of Workunits and hold them until our birthday-challenge starts on 11/16/2013.

Unfortunately, we found a limitation with the default random number generator being used for the project. You're using the NSA-improved RDRAND instruction ? |

Ah well, just getting into my stride after the FAAH cache.
----------------------------------------I hope there will be nice long run of beta's to get that elusive silver beta badge.

Hello Viktors and Kevin,
----------------------------------------Do we have to cancel and discard the WU's which have not started yet, or it is useful for you if we finish them? Thanks and good luck Crunching@Home since January 13 2000. Shrubbing@Home since January 5 2006 |
