I'll update this as our generation and testing of our first S5 workunits proceeds.
The names of these workunits are of the form h1_XXXX.X_S5R1x_* and l1_XXXX.X_S5R1x_*.
这些任务包的名字类似于h1_XXXX.X_S5R1x_*和l1_XXXX.X_S5R1x_*。
The application running these is called einstein_S5R1. This application incorporates many of the speedups and other code changes suggested by Akos. Note: please do NOT replace these stock executables with custom versions of 'albert'. They are not compatible.
处理新任务包的计算程序叫einstein_S5R1。其中已经采纳了不少Akos在速度及其它一些方面的建议。注意:请不要对这些任务包使用S4的优化计算程序(albert)!它们并不是兼容的。
There are two types of workunits: short and long. The short workunits have XXXX.X less than or equal to 0400.0.
有大小不同的两种任务包,小任务包中的XXXX.X不大于0400.0。
There are also two types of data files: short and long. The short data files (l1_XXXX.X) are from the LIGO Livingston Observatory, and are about 4.5MB in size. The long data files (h1_XXXX.X) are from LIGO Hanford and are about 16MB in size. Note: once your computer downloads one of these data files, it should be able to do many workunits for that same file.
数据文件也有两种:小数据文件(l1_XXXX.X)来自利文斯顿的LIGO观测站,4.5兆左右;大数据文件(h1_XXXX.X)来自汉福的LIGO观测站,16兆左右。注意:同一个数据文件可以被多个任务包使用。
We are switching to a new uniform system for awarding credits. All users on all platforms will claim the same credit for each workunit, with an amount of credit proportional to the length of the workunit: 'equal credit for equal work'.
新任务包将使用新的积分系统。同一个任务包,所有平台的用户都将申请同样的分数。
To try and increase the total amount of computing power available to the project, we have changed the target number of results and minimum quorum from 3 to 2. Only if the first two results from different hosts/users do not agree will additional work be generated.
为了提高项目可用的实际计算能力,我们已经将任务包的缺省计算次数由3改成了2。同一个任务包,只有在前两位用户返回的结果不一致时,才交由更多的用户来计算。
Please be patient with us if we have to sort out last minute problems or other issues. We have been testing this privately for some time, so we are fairly confident that there are no significant issues that remain. Nevertheless, several of us on 'the cutting edge' are rather short on sleep!
我们已经进行了一段时间的内部测试,相信新系统不会有太大的问题,当然如果碰到了问题,也请大家对我们宽容一些,我们中的好几位已经严重睡眠不足了:)
