Correlizer

[DigiK-oz]

One of my teammates came up with http://svahesrv2.bioquant.uni-heidelberg.de/correlizer/

In summary, we found that genomes show a complex sequential organization related closely to their three-dimensional organization, which has resulted in entire new insights into genomes. This is important for the general understanding of genomes, from which then new diagnostics and treatments can be developed. With modern high-throughput sequencing techniques now entire genomes are sequenced on a daily basis for a very low price. Actually thousands of completely sequenced genomes fill the public databases meanwhile. Consequently, the analysis of the genetic sequence gets more and more important as well.

Here we ask for your support by donating your computer resources for Correlizer, to reveal these mysteries further and thus lay the foundation for better diagnosis and treatment of diseases.

I understand about 3% of that, but it is definitely in the medical category .

Umiversity-run, seems pretty stable, ample workunits, decent checkpointing, relatively short WUs (15-20 minutes or so), stats being exported (currently, only once a day apparently). Forum is rather quiet, but admin(s) seem to react to questions/issues.

Anyone else?

[cswchan]

stable, fast...

just starting to investigate the project. (sorry, focused on RNA earlier)

so far, no problems.

Tried it for a day or so. No probs and nice runtime.

Second that.


Could use a friendlier URL, but google can find it quick enough.

Running it for almost a week now - happy with the client

I suppose wieferich stays out and perhaps now correlizer replaces it ?

[RHMash]

it's been running for about 12 hours or so now, no issues, plenty of work.... Validation is pretty quick compared to other projects....

[RHMash]

200+ completed tasks, have only noticed one issue, and it's nothing I haven't seen before in other projects. the time to completion is blank but still shows it is running and run time goes up but no progress is made. Suspend, resume, it returns to the last checkpoint. Only one task so far compared to the many times I've had to do it with WCG, and even then most wouldn't return to the checkpoint.

When can we expect Correlizer to join the Vault and replace wieferich?

I will set up a poll, and presuming the vote is positive (no negative assessments have been registered so far), it should be added shortly. ( I would have replied earlier but have been away).

On a separate note as as a user/evaluator ...

I ran correlizer for a couple of weeks on three machines. I noticed no real problems of note (i.e. no problems getting work, etc., no functional problems). It seems a good candidate overall.

On a more non-functional evaluation there are a couple of minor beefs. 1) Compared to most other projects, the points given seem a tad low. Ok, maybe a bit more than a tad. 2) This note is even more tenuous than the previous ... like many projects, here you need a wingman, and it just seems to take quite a while for that wingman to show up.

Neither of these comments argues against including the project (because all participants are subject to the same limitations), they are just that, comments.

Going to set up poll ...

As far as the points go, it gives about the amount of points that one would expect based on the good old BOINC benchmark. And as such is indeed lower than most projects. But for DC-VAULT this point is moot as you say, since it goes for all users. This project just does not participate in the "cross-project race"

As for the second point, the wingman sometimes shows up rather late, yes. But because of the rather short WU's, flow of points is still pretty steady.

So, I just voted YES in the poll.

Looks like the project has some WUs...

[cswchan]

Corellizer has been having a steady stream of work now for the past 1 week... As long as the WUs do not get hogged by certain individuals, it might be ok...
