The workunits for the about 400.000 new protein sequences (for the May release of SIMAP) will be available from Mon, Apr 30 (morning). We estimate that the May batch will need about one week of work.
The workunits for the about 520.000 new protein sequences (for the June release of SIMAP) will be available from Thu, May 31 (morning). We estimate that the June batch will need about one week of work.
Due to general maintenance of the electricity network of our building we will have to shutdown all our servers from June 7, 4 p.m. UTC to June 8, 4 p.m. BOINCSIMAP will be completely offline during that 24 hours. We apologize for any inconvenience. We assume that all workunits will have been distributed at that time.
The workunits for the about 380.000 new protein sequences (for the July release of SIMAP) will be available from Sun, July 1 (morning). We assume that the July batch will need about one week of work.
The workunits for the about 480.000 new protein sequences (for the August release of SIMAP) will be available from Mon, Jul 30 (morning). We estimate that the August batch will need about one week of work.

We are starting the integration of new metagenomes such as from the Human Microbiome Projecte into SIMAP. This will require additional SIMAP calculations for two subsequent stages of processing. We will start with a batch of workunits that will need about 2 weeks for its calculation. Further batches will follow after the regular workunits in the beginning of September.
SIMAP workunits from environmental sequences and metagenomes are characterized by shorter average sequence lengths. Therefore more sequences are packed into each workunit, resulting in longer calculation time and higher credits per workunits.

The workunits for the about 830.000 new protein sequences (for the October release of SIMAP) will be available from Mon, Oct 1 (morning). Additionally, we will calculare further workunits of environmental sequences. We estimate that the October batch will need about three weeks of work.

The workunits for the about 720.000 new protein sequences (for the November release of SIMAP) will be available directly after the last October batch has been distributed. Additionally, we will calculare further workunits of environmental sequences. We estimate that the November batch will need about four weeks of work.
Due to server maintenance the whole project will shut down on Friday, November 23, from about 7.30 to 8.30 UTC. All parts of the project including the web portal will be affected. Sorry for this, we will keep the downtime as short as possible.

We have upgraded the server-side BOINC software in order to fix several recent security issues. If you should notice any problem with the server, please inform us through our message boards (forum).
The workunits for the about 1.9 million new protein sequences (for the May release of SIMAP) will be available from Thu, Apr 25. We estimate that these regular workunits will need about 5 weeks of work. After completion, the calculation of environmental sequences will be continued.

The BOINC Pentathlon of seti-germany.de has selected SIMAP as a marathon discipline. The Pentathlon will run from May 5 until May 19, check the Pentathlon 2013 website for more information.
