Projektnews LHC@home: Status and Plans, Sunday 4th November

[P3D-Bot]

First service continues to run well; the first intensity scan is nearing completion with well over a million results in 15 studies successfully returned. Just a couple of hundred thousand more!
(Sadly no one study is complete but a couple are very close and I shall start post-processing and analysis soon. I am still reflecting on the thread "Number crunching; WU not being sent to another user".
This is not easy, trying to get studies complete, but keeping the system busy. I am the "feeder" and since in the end I need all the studies I am rather prioritising keeping WUs available.)

Just checked and we have over 80,000, yes eighty thousand WUs active and this is a new (recent) record.

Draft documentation of the User side is now available thanks to my colleague R. Demaria. If you are interested
http://sixtrack-ng.web.cern.ch/sixtrack-ng/
and I hope you can access it (otherwise I shall put a copy to LHC@home).

Right now I hope to try new executables with new physics on our test server and I mght shortly appeal for some volunteers to help (and also to run a few more 10 million turn jobs). I do NOT want to risk the production service while it is running so smoothly.

Otherwise (At Last!) I shall start writing my paper on how to get identical results on ANY IEEE 754 hardware with ANY standard compiler
at ANY level of Optimisation. Thanks to all. Eric.
