Hey All, We will have to clear the workunit queue for both separation and nbody. This will cause many invalid workunits. We apologize for this, as this is the only way to clear the system for it to return to normal operation. Thanks for your continued support, Jake and Sidd

We are ready to start another experiment on Escherichia coli, using the same expression dataset of the previous one but changing one of the algorithm's parameters. Execution times should slightly faster than the last one on Vitis vinifera.

Hi everyone, Over the last few weeks I've seen several forum threads concerning issues with a new update of Malwarebytes interfering negatively with POGS. If anyone is currently having issues, please see this thread for advice: [Link] https://pogs.theskynet.org/pogs/forum_thread.php?id=827&postid=5310#5310. The current going solution is to update Malwarebytes again to get past the version that was causing POGS issues. Happy Crunching!

As some of you already know, we just started testing of CUDA Gromacs application for Linux and Windows computers. To use it under Linux you should have Gromacs installed (apt-get install gromacs on Debian based systems). Under Windows you should have Nvidia GPU with CUDA 2.3 capability and AVX256 capable CPU. As apps are now under tests, only users with test applications enabled will get tasks. Also, ignore estimated running time reported by Manager as is currently set very high by me for testing purposes.

This morning we had a problem with our database. Therefore, I had to cancel the workunits of the latest Siever batch.Sorry for the inconvenience.

UND had to do some storage upgrades which took out most of our systems yesterday. I apologize for the downtime! This also created an error with the validator which I hopefully just fixed. Let me know if you are having any troubles uploading or downloading work!
