Hi all,
First, let me say that this project has certainly -NOT- been abandoned. In fact, it is looking increasingly likely that the Lattice Project will be the basis for a campus-wide Grid computing system at the University of Maryland. These kinds of systems have traditionally used trusted University resources like clusters and so forth for the bulk of computations. I think less people are aware of the success of our BOINC testing, and they are also unaware of the vast amount of work that can be done by hordes of faithful crunchers. We have a big demo of our system coming up, and I am going to make a point of highlighting the success of our alpha test. These presentation materials will be made available on the Lattice website in short order. In the next few days, I will be pumping some work into the pool to wake up some clients and ensure that we have some ready for the demo so that the University bigwigs and Information Technology folks can see how all of this works in real time. These jobs will be short test jobs, and will probably be a mix of applications. In addition, with the new school year approaching, it is likely that our researchers will have more work for the system. We'll have to see how it goes, but the point of this message is that the Lattice Project is really just getting started. Thanks to everyone for your continued support in the coming months and I promise to keep a closer eye on the boards ;)
Adam
