Reduced HFCC project priority
Due to a temporary problem sending results back to one of the Chiba server's we've reduced the feeder priority for HFCC to prevent a large backlog of results. Users with only HFCC selected should be able to continue to get HFCC work units, but users with multiple projects selected will see a reduction in the number of HFCC work units downloaded.

由于千叶的一台服务器出了问题，无法上传结果。为了防止结果文件囤积，我们临时下调了HFCC的发包优先级。

Computing for Clean Water project temporarily stopped
We have temporarily stopped the Computing for Clean Water Project because the research server that batch results are sent to is unavailable. We will resume the project once this issue has been corrected.

由于结果文件接收服务器无法访问，我们计划暂停清水项目，直至问题解决。
译者注：抱歉，之前理解错了，翻译有误。应该是说清华的服务器无法访问了，所以为了防止结果积压，才临时暂停项目。希望不是被我朝，‘萎大的墙’给拦了，那样就悲剧了的说。

HCMD2 has also been fixed. Work should start flowing again in about two weeks (8/11/11) After they clear some of the backlogged results.
小道消息1：HCMD2预计将于11月8日恢复。

Oct 26, 2011 12:04:26 AM
The research team from Tsinghua University has estimated that the server should be available to us again 7-10 days from today. Please keep in mind this is only an estimate.

小道消息2：清华说预计7-10天恢复。

Oct 26, 2011 2:09:49 PM
We are turning on C4CW so that the work currently loaded into the system is able to complete. We will not be loading new work in until the situation is resolved.
小道消息3：开启发包，先把剩下的任务发完。不过没有新任务，只能等清华方面恢复了再说。

Beta test for new project
We have released new work units for beta test for a new project using Vina. We are sending out 1650 work units. These will be sent out with a quorum of two for a total of 3300 results.

The memory requirements will be around 200MB for this test. Disk usage is very small, less than 10 MB. Uploads are about 100KB and downloads are about 300KB.

Please let us know in the other forums if you encounter any issues.

Thanks,
Seippel

Excessive Credit Awarded for some Help Fight Childhood Cancer results
Nov 7, 2011 6:13:57 PM
Due to an error in the validation logic, there were over 200 Help Fight Childhood Cancer results that were awarded significant excess credit (in some cases over 10,000,000 points). We are in the process of correcting this now and adding logic to prevent this error in the future.

We started the stats a short while ago and when that completes the issue should be resolved.

However, as part of the cleanup due to this issue, some devices, users and teams have had their expavg_credit reset to 0 on the BOINC database. This will only have an impact on external statistics sites and aggregators. The expavg_credit is a time decayed value. As a result, these values will largely recover within a week and completely recover within a month. We apologize for this delay in returning to normal.

Nov 7, 2011 7:22:39 PM
The statistics run has completed and they appear correct. We will monitor the threads and system to see if any more discrepancies are reported.
大意：
由于验证逻辑有误，有两百多个HFCC任务给分超标（有些给了1千万分），我们对这部分任务重新打分，并修改验证逻辑，以避免此事再次发生。
我们将对部分用户、团队的expavg_credit参数清零，这会对外部统计系统造成短期显示异常，不过1周~1月内这个值将恢复正常。

Reduced HFCC project priority
We have reduced the feeder priority of the Help Fight Childhood Cancer project as the current target is reaching it's conclusion and the new target is not yet available. Users with only the Help Fight Childhood Cancer project selected should be able to continue receiving work units while users with multiple projects selected will receive Help Fight Childhood Cancer work units less often. Reducing the project priority allows users with only the Help Fight Childhood Cancer project selected to continue to receive work units for a longer period of time.

大意：
因为当前任务快算完了，而新任务还未就绪，所以暂时下调HFCC的发包优先级。

Please Check Your Setting for Number of Clean Energy Workunits Allowed
The Clean Energy Project can cause disruptive disk usage on some computers. As a result, we set the project to only issue one workunit at a time to participating members computers. We also created an additional setting that allows people to override that setting and accept however many workunits at a time that they want.

Unfortunately, due to a bug in the website code when we released the GO Fight Against Malaria project today, many people were set to accept 12 workunits at time. Since this can cause issues with some computers, we had to update the profiles to remove this setting. As a result, some people who had changed this setting to accept more workunits for The Clean Energy Project have been reset to the default value of one workunit at a time.

If you had changed your setting from the default, please go check the setting to see if you need to restore your custom selection. You can do this by going to:
https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/ms/device/viewProfiles.do

Then select one of your profiles. On the page that is shown, choose the radio selection next to 'Custom Profile'. Almost at the bottom of the page, there is the option "Number of workunits per host for The Clean Energy Project - Phase 2?". Check that this is set to your desired setting.

Only those people who had changed the setting away from the default need to check. People who were using the default value will still be using the default value.
大意：
由于CEP2对硬盘的压力很大，所以在官网加了个"Number of workunits per host for The Clean Energy Project - Phase 2?"设置，可以设定同时运行的cep2程序的个数（默认为1）。
不幸的是，今天我们发布了GO Fight Against Malaria项目，但是由于网站代码的问题，所有用户的cep2的同时运行参数被改成了12，这会对系统造成很大影响，为此我们把所有用户的这个参数复位为1了，如果你需要修改这个参数请登录网站修改。

Launch of the "GO Fight Against Malaria" Project
World Community Grid is pleased to announce the launch of the "GO Fight Against Malaria" project by researchers from The Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, California, USA. The researchers and World Community Grid members are working together to evaluate millions of candidate compounds to advance the search for new drugs that can cure patients who are infected with multi-drug-resistant mutant "superbugs" of malaria.

We are going to start sending out some new work for GFAM on the BETA.

This is to test a new version of the VINA application with updates to correct the check pointing issue.

There are 5000+ results involved in this test.

This will appear as version 6.10 within your BOINC agent.

Re: Reduced HFCC project priority
