Continued NBody Runs (07/29/2020)

Hey everyone,



The last set of NBody runs have just converged beautifully. We are currently working on writing the paper to publish these results. In the meantime, we will be replacing these runs with another set:

-de_nbody_07_29_2020_v176_40k__data__4

-de_nbody_07_29_2020_v176_40k__data__5

-de_nbody_07_29_2020_v176_40k__data__6



Thank you all so much for your support. We would not be able to write this paper without your continued assistance.

New Runs for MilkyWay@home Nbody Simulations (07/29/2020)

Hey everyone,



I just wanted to let everyone know that new Nbody runs have been put up on MW@home. The last set of runs started converging nicely, so we are confident this next set of runs will converge as well. The names of these runs are:

-de_nbody_07_29_2020_v176_40k__data__1

-de_nbody_07_29_2020_v176_40k__data__2

-de_nbody_07_29_2020_v176_40k__data__3



Please let us know if you have any trouble with these runs. Thank you all for your continued support.

Scheduled Internet Outage July 28th,2020

Hey everyone,



On July 28th, our server will be temporarily inaccessible due to a scheduled campus-wide internet outage. As such, job queues may not update for the day. However, everything should return to working order by the next day. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

New Runs for MilkyWay@home Nbody Simulations (07/07/2020)

Hey all,



The last set of N-body runs we set up started converging to compact progenitors due to an overly restrictive data histogram. We have fixed the data histogram and placed new runs up on the server:

-de_nbody_07_07_2020_v176_40k__data__1

-de_nbody_07_07_2020_v176_40k__data__2

-de_nbody_07_07_2020_v176_40k__data__3



Please let us know if these runs cause any problems, and thank you all for your support.

New Separation Runs 6/19/2020

Hello Everyone,



I have put up the following separation runs:



de_modfit_80_bundle4_4s_south4s_bgset_3

de_modfit_81_bundle4_4s_south4s_bgset_3

de_modfit_82_bundle4_4s_south4s_bgset_3

de_modfit_83_bundle4_4s_south4s_bgset_3

de_modfit_84_bundle4_4s_south4s_bgset_3

de_modfit_85_bundle4_4s_south4s_bgset_3

de_modfit_86_bundle4_4s_south4s_bgset_3



And I have taken down the following separation runs:



de_modfit_80_bundle4_4s_south4s_bgset_2

de_modfit_81_bundle4_4s_south4s_bgset_2

de_modfit_82_bundle4_4s_south4s_bgset_2

de_modfit_83_bundle4_4s_south4s_bgset_2

de_modfit_86_bundle4_4s_south4s_bgset_2

de_modfit_14_bundle5_testing_4s3f_1

de_modfit_14_bundle5_testing_4s3f_2

de_modfit_14_bundle5_testing_4s3f_3

de_modfit_14_bundle5_testing_3s4f_1

de_modfit_14_bundle5_testing_3s4f_2

de_modfit_14_bundle5_testing_3s4f_3



The new runs are copies of the previous bgset_2 runs, in order to verify our results. Since the stripe 84 and 85 runs in the last set went a bit wonky after a couple weeks, I expect the same to happen here. I will keep a close watch on these forums, and when people begin to report errors from the runs on those stripes, I will promptly take them down. The errors that people are reporting on the bgset_2 runs should stop in the next couple days as the old runs all finish trickling in.



All of the testing runs have come down (there may be more in the future).



Thank you all for your continued support with this project. Stay safe (and sane) in these strange times.



Best,

Tom
