Looking for a little more detail about what we are actually doing and who is in charge. Thanks. |

We've updated the main page of the project, so now you have information on our publications and related grants. |

Is there someway to view the completed portions of the 3D model we are rendering? The whole model? Will the model be made available for public use? |

Good questions ... I also would like to know that. -- benDan |

Im interested to, i crunch for science but i would still like to see what im crunching. (3d model of the milky way would be nice) |

I think a 3D model will make it much easier for us to actually navigate through it, when that time comes. Mark Stouffer www.valuecrisis.com |

yes, I would like to know this |

Yea, I had a similar interest. It's nice to get all the technical information, but a down to earth explanation of how this will be used in the end would be nice. Will the public ever see this model? What will be the benefits to science (in layman's terms) Thanks |

We've updated the main page of the project, so now you have information on our publications and related grants. And that article was written/published in July 2008. Imagine how many BlueGene's we're up to now!!! Calm Chaos Forum...Join Calm Chaos Now |

And we're not even using the genetic search anymore. Travis has mentioned that the fitness numbers we've been seeing are the best he knows of. |

the 1024 processor partition of the BlueGeneImagine how many BlueGene's we're up to now!!! Dont forget the BlueGene/L is a 100k processor machine... so a 1024 processor partition = 1000 MW users is essentially a 1:1. BlueGene/L does ~500TeraFlops per the LINPACK test (a single precision test iirc). The new RoadRunner supercomputer has just under 130k cores, though you're looking at main cores and PPEs (like the Cell processors), and does 1.46 PetaFLOPs peak, 1.1 PetaFLOPs sustained. Consider the AtlasFolding 20 GTX295 farm, as I posted here: http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/forum_thread.php?id=789. The estimated throughput of this beast is ~26 TeraFlops single precision. So theoretically a 1120 GTX295 card farm (2240 GPUs) would do roughly the same as RoadRunner. At £430 each, that's still only £500k, plus another 100k for the overhead of the systems, and you're looking at a supercomputer for less than 1m. RoadRunner cost $133million, so do the math :) (I know that there's a lot more involved with a supercomputer than just buying parts, but the scale and cost difference compared is extraordinary. Even if you go 30x over budget on GPUs, it's still below RoadRunner. Also, you can use CUDA, rather than program specifically for RoadRunner - though OpenCL might change that soon.) |

Is it normal recently going workunits to contain three streams, two of which have exactly the same definition? An example workunit is 91405739 where the first and the second stream in parameter_212F5_3s.txt are equal. |
