What is LHC@home?
This a volunteer computing project that uses Internet-connected computers to advance Particle and Accelerator Physics. Participate by downloading and running a free program on your computer. By default, you can run the classic LHC@home application Sixtrack, for simulations of accelerator physics, and help researchers at CERN to improve the LHC.
Other LHC@home simulations that utilizes virtualization to run applications for Theory and experiment simulations for ATLAS, CMS and LHCb are also available.
Please note that some of the applications on LHC@home requre Virtual Box to be installed. Please visit the LHC@home information site for more information. If you have any problems or questions please visit the Message Boards, Questions and Answers and FAQ.

Best wishes for 2022
The LHC@home team wishes you all a Happy New Year and all the best for 2022!
The simulations carried out under LHC@home contribute to improvements to the LHC accelerator as well as the experiments. The upcoming Run 3 of the LHC shall start soon.
Meanwhile you can take a look at this video with highlights from CERN during 2021.
Many thanks for your contributions and happy crunching!

Lack of CMS tasks due to a problem in WMAgent development
Unfortunately, I have been unable to submit new workflows to the CMS project since yesterday, and the job queues have now drained.
The cause is a change introduced in the development of the CMS work-flow management system. These changes are tested first on a development system before being moved to the production system. We currently use the development system to run CMS@Home, so the change is impacting us.
I'm trying to find out when a fix will be forthcoming, but until then set No New Tasks for CMS or switch to another project.
I'm sorry about this. I will let you know when I am able to submit jobs again.
