SIMAP will leave BOINC by end of 2014
SIMAP is currently moving towards new algorithms for similarity calculations and scoring. After extensive tests and evaluations during the last months it turned out that the best way to continue SIMAP will be to use dedicated local hardware in our institute. SIMAP will therefore use BOINC only to maintain the current SIMAP database until the end of 2014. BOINC clients for the new SIMAP database will not be released and there will be no workunits for SIMAP after 2014. After 10 very successful years of SIMAP within BOINC this decision was not an easy one for us. However, we thank all users for their support in the past and in the upcoming last period until the end of the year.
Cheers
Thomas

I know that is too early to post this, and SIMAP isn't retired yet, but i want to get you ready for that, it's a really important change on the BOINC's project list because SIMAP has been an old and important project since now
What do you think about that? Coment on this thread
P.S. Willy remember to retire the project when needed
