ud官方新聞

最近總算有點閒   看版上水有點少
想效法一下對岸的論壇

他們有專門文翻譯ud官方新聞 雖然翻譯的不太好(很多地方跟本翻錯) 不過我覺得idea不錯
想在本區也發一帖方便沒時間上官網看公告的網友 順便練習一下自己破破的英文(有翻錯要指正喔)
先翻譯一下近五期的新聞 以後會隨這標題回文補上

Dear Members,

Here is the weekly status.

Rosetta (HPF) - The Rosetta job has been turned off. I wanted to leave this up to the individual members as to whether they still wished to run Rosetta (some like the screensaver), but some members were very vocal about having it turned off so that is what we did.

Cancer - As I mentioned before and someone confirmed with Inibox, we are rerunning the previous protein against the newest database from Oxford. This is not respinning old data for the sake of running something on Grid.org. I have deleted all of the previous jobs (1200, 600, 100 ligands) since they should have been processed by now. The newer 50 ligand WUs seem to be working for all. Some members have complained that they are processing too fast, but since we do not want to exclude members with slower machines, 50 ligands is what we are sticking with.

Thank you for your contribution.

rosetta任務已經結束了,我們之前留著是因為有少數用戶希望能繼續下去(有些人喜歡它的螢幕保護程式),不過在另一些用戶的強力要求下我們現在已將它正式結束

在癌症的部份,如同我之前所說的和一些人從論壇裡所確認的:我們現在重新運算來自牛津的最新蛋白質資料(譯注:這批新資料最早時被切成1200ligands發包 ,但是跑太久了,後來改成600ligands還是太久,甚至連100ligands也被抱怨太久,所以現在切成50ligands重新發包) 我已經取消了所有(1200,600,100)任務回報的得分計算,因為照理它們現在應該都已被算完才對,現在的50ligands任務看起來運作順利 有些人抱怨這些(50ligands)任務太快被算完,不過我們為了不想排斥那些電腦速度較慢的用戶,往後將會維持50 ligands的任務

There is not much to report on this week. We continue to process cancer data and I think this is working for everyone.

這周沒什麼好報告的,我們繼續運算資料而且看起來很順利

Cancer Job - We continue to process the previous protein against the latest data from Inhibox. This is going pretty smoothly so there is not much to report.

我們繼續運算這些最新的資料,看起來很順利所以沒啥好報告

Stats - The stats did not run for 9/15 as happens occassionally. I will manually rerun the stats job so hopefully these will be correct later in the day.

Connectivity - some members reported connectivity problems over the weekend. I am not aware of any issues that would have caused this. There may have been an issue with our ISP or something. In any case, everything should be working correctly now.

9月15的時候自動狀態統計發生異常,我將手動啟動狀態統計的工作所以今日稍晚應可恢復

周末時一些用戶回報了網路連接的問題,不過我沒有發現任何的錯誤,可能是我們的isp或其他什麼的造成問題,總之,網路現在應該是正常的

Things appear to working pretty smoothly at the moment. Stats are up to date and I have not heard any more complaints about connectivity. The cancer jobs continue to run without crashes.

事情一切順利,狀態統計更新正常而且已經沒有網路不能連接的問題被回報,癌症任務在沒有任何錯誤的情況下繼續在運行

Here is the weekly status.
Cancer job - Nothing new to report. We continue to crunch through the data. I uploaded a new batch today so there should be new workunits available.

本星期報告:
癌症任務 -無新事項報告,我們繼續消化運算這批資料,我今天上傳了新一批資料上去所以你們有些人應該開始算到新工作了

奇怪的是，我想進官版看統計資料......今天統計特別久？到現在還在算，不知道在算啥？！

對啊，奇怪
又沒說明，兩天了  

但國家的有，團隊的都沒進來
個人也沒影響

再等等看

Here is the weekly status.

Cancer Job - No change. I did upload some new WUs late last week. Everything appears to be running smoothly.

Stats - We still have an issue with a couple of days of team stats - 10/5 and 10/8. I am going to manually kick off the rollup script so hopefully both will be fixed by tomorrow. As far as exactly why this occurs, I am not a mssqlserver expert (by far). Occassionally the stored procedure that does the work times out and does not complete. Nothing is lost and it is a simple matter to kick off the procedure again by hand so members should not panic about this.

Thank you for your contribution.

有關癌症任務的部份沒有什麼變化,我這星期又上傳了一些新的任務上去,一切看起來都很不錯

狀態統計的部份-在團隊狀態統計我們仍然有些狀況還沒有解決-(10/5和10/8), 我將會手動重啟rollup的程序希望明天就能將這兩問題一併解決;我不是msql似服器的專家,我無法經確的說明為什麼會發生這種事,不過大致上來說這是因為某個儲存的程序工作逾時且未完成它的工作,沒有任何資料損失而且只要簡單的將此程序重開就可解決問題,因此各位用戶不用對此事太過驚慌

不知道到底找到了癌症解決的方法了沒

Dear Members,

Here is the weekly status.

Stats - We have an issue with stats currently. For some reason, the stats job keeps failing. We have not identified the problem yet. Nothing should be lost as far as points. We just need to get the job to run correctly to tally up all of the stats. I am not sure when this will be fixed so please be patient.

親愛的成員：

這是本週的情況報告。

統計--目前我們在統計上有一個問題。由於種種原因， 統計工作持續故障。 我們目前尚未找出問題。 在分數上應該沒有任何遺失。我們需要得到工作正確地跑相符所有統計。這部份工作我不確定何時可以修復，所以請耐心等候。

喵！

等了好久，終於有了回應
應該是網頁資料庫的問題
希望能早日修護

Dear Members,

As you are probably aware, we have had some issues with stats recently. After a few days of manually running all of the jobs, the stats appear to be caught up. We did not encounter any errors when trying to run manually which is strange. Tomorrow we will see whether the stats are able to run automatically after the manual intervention (and a reboot for good measure). If not, we will continue to manually run the stats as we troubleshoot the issue further.
親愛的用戶
正如你們所發現的,我們的狀態統計更新最近有點問題,在經過我們這些天的"手動"進行統計工作後,狀態統記終於趕上了,我們在手動更新的過程中沒有發現任何問題,明天開始我們會先停止手動更新-再試自動更新看是否正常,如果還是不正常我們未來會繼續執行手動跟新直到我們找到問題在哪

Greetings and Happy Holidays!

First of all, on behalf of United Devices I’d like to thank each and every one of you for your steadfast support of this unique, invaluable resource. For the last several years, Grid.org has played an important role in some tremendously important research and it is the largest and most respected volunteer-based grid of its kind in existence. None of that would be possible without all of you!

We have some exciting information to convey concerning Grid.org status and plans – but before I do that, please allow me to express our sincere regret for the frustrations that some of you have been experiencing lately. During the past year we have had technical difficulties with Grid.org that have contributed to your frustrations, but we have changes planned that should significantly improve your experience.

These are some of the plan highlights we have for Grid.org in the coming months:

We will migrate the Grid.org software to the latest version. Planning for this is well underway, and the migration will begin in the first quarter of 2007! In the first quarter (Jan-Mar) of 2007, we’ll begin a Beta Program (see below) in preparation for the final upgrade to the new release. We will perform the entire upgrade to the new version by end of Q2 of 2007.

The following new features will be introduced with the latest version.

- Support for multi-processor and multi-core machines
- Support for cache ahead so that users can request multiple work units
- Enhanced non-intrusiveness options
- The possibility for members to generate their own tools, GUIs, and reports using a new Grid MP Agent API
- New look and feel for the Grid MP Agent GUI
- Improved support for Microsoft XP operating system – enhances support for multi-users and allows fast user switching
- Support for Microsoft Vista operating system (both 32-bit and 64-bit)
- Support for Microsoft Internet Explorer 7
- Overall performance improvements to the grid
- General defect repairs

Right now our outreach committee is actively working on reviewing and selecting new projects to run on the updated Grid.org software. The initial conversations we’ve been having look very promising and we should be ready to make an announcement about the selected project by end of Q1 2007, to launch in the May-June timeframe. Your active co-operation in the Beta program will be key toward expediting this process!

As mentioned above, we will implement a Beta program and ask for volunteers to help with Beta testing of the new system. This program will initially be implemented with a target of 100 volunteers as the first phase of the upgrade to the new version of Grid.org. The Beta program will run for several weeks and is intended to identify any deployment issues that might be lingering in the new version so we can resolve them prior to the upgrade of the entire member community. We will provide you with additional details and initiate a call for Beta volunteers shortly before we begin the program.

Thank you once again for your continued support of Grid.org. We’re looking forward to keeping you informed on status of the initiatives outlined above – visit this site regularly for more information.


Sincerely,

祝各位佳節愉快
首先,我要代表UD感謝大家長久以來堅定的付出你們無價的資源,在近幾年來,UD在這些巨大的研究計畫中扮演重要的角色,同時它也是目前最大的分散式運算計畫之一,當然 沒有你們的付出這些都不可能會達成!


我要傳達一些有關UD令人興奮的消息,但在那之前請容我向你們說聲抱歉,在過去的幾年我們碰到了技術上的困難造成你們對UD的失望,但我們現在調整了策略應該不會再讓你們失望了

以下是最進幾個月就會實行的幾項要點
我們將會更新目前的UD程式至最新版!
這項計畫已經正在進行了,預計2007年第一季測試版就會出來,在明年的第一季我們會完成測試最新的版本並在第二季之前完全更新完畢
以下是新版程式的新功能
1.支援多處理器和多核心
2.支援快取讓使用者能下載更多任務備用
3.增強non-intrusiveness 的選項   (譯按:不懂non-intrusiveness是什麼意思)
4.提供API 可支援使用者自訂GUI畫面或自己的外掛小程式等等的到UD程式上去
5.新的GUI畫面
6.支援XP系統-允許快速切換使用者
7.支援VISTA-32bit&64bit
8.支援IE7
9.整體效能改進
10.修補前版缺陷

同時我們的委員會也正在審查要放在新版軟體上跑的新的PROJECT,我們將會在2007 Q1一起宣布是哪個新PROJECT被選定,然後在五到六月會正式丟下去RUN,你們在BETA版程式所給的意見會幫助這程式的改進

如上所述,我們需要自願者來幫忙測試BETA版的程式,第一階段我們預計招募100名自願者協助測試,越早把問題測試出來就越可能在程式正式給全體用戶RUN之前就把問題改進,我們會提供自願者額外的細節幫助他們測試

再一次謝謝你們的貢獻

最近看到這消息
心想總算知道要更新程式了
2002年的版本還在用它打天下?
它程式中給分基準的CPU-P4 1.5G現在不知道還有幾個人在用...XD

不過話說我也好久沒碰UD了,都在跑另一個BOINC....

其實不管新舊的本版
我在意的是找到癌症解決方法沒
