The new keys are now properly signed. Sixtrack version 4.64 for windows is also released. The only change is that all the related files are now signed so using BOINC core client v4.22 and newer should work.

Your BOINC was still trying to download the Sixtrack 4.63 (the one that won't work with BOINC 4.2x). The Sixtrack 4.64 will probably only come with the WU they said they were releasing today.

thank you for the info. I was having the same problems and was going to post a question about it. I guess I don't have to now. :)

Well now, they have created some more WUs now, but I'm still getting the old client:

The old application will continue to try and download as long as there's work units created to be crunched with that application. Once the queue sends all of the older work units out, the new ones will start.

Yes I was assuming that, but they said 'no work' all a.m. and then they came up with a bunch of WUs and it would still d/l the old client......

Any idea on timing? Today, tomorrow, next week....? It is frustrating to keep getting the same error messages again and again, and knowledge of when this might be resolved would help. Thanks!

I think this "old" WU's (sixtrack_4.63_windows_intelx86.exe) are resent WU's from the stormy restart, where near everybody had to detach / attach.!
So it seems That they who have troubles yet must wait until the new sixtrack_4.64_windows_intelx86.exe - release, or downgrade to CC 4.19.

For me it is working fine now (both machine(one with CC 4.62 and the other with CC 4.19) have the daily quota to crunch)!

I have discovered to predict if WU will take the full run or if it will leave the simulation by error (when particles colide or leaving the colider-area).
If there is an interest, I will post my expiriences.

Hey there!

I would like to know how you can tell that and how you figured it out...

@ Jim, Vid Vidmar and all others who have respective interests of the parties concerned:


On "show graphics" (not the screensaver) you can toggle the "F" - key. On the right appears 3 lines, marked TPS: #, max. TPS: #, FPS: #. (my interpretation: TPS=Turns Per Sec., FPS=Frames Per Sec.).

Now: If the TPS is higher than max.TPS, the run will abort between the next 0.01 to 10 minutes). I call them "fast" WU's in the future
if TPS is equal or lower , then it will take the full run:

"normal" TPS's for my machines: 22-24 and 1Mio.turns will take about 9 to 12 hours (formerly known as 'tunescana', now 'boince6..')
33/34 TPS and 100000 turns will take about 45 to 65 min.

and general : if max.TPS is higher then 100 (for example:256) , this simulation will crash, the TPS mount and mount...WU finish-next WU

I made this expiriences last year and I wanted to post them, but then the project stopped. Now I have noticed the same.

If I'm in some sort of explaination wrong; say it to me

[BTW]please don't abort this "fast" WU's; they are valuable for science(IMO)!!!
Sorry that this thread take a complete different direction from where it is/was started!

Q.:how you figured it out?
A.:watching and observing the graphics (that mean: empirical (german: empirisch)), this let your brain working...:-)

Oops, I just realized that we didn't restart server processes since releasing the version 4.64. That means that the new version wasn't actually available.

Well, now it's reset, so please try again...

It's possible that if a work units were all assigned so there were no available work to crunch and errors were reported with those work units, new work units would be sent out using the same application.

But from Markku's post above, that isn't what happened here. :)

Hi Jim , Vid Vidmar and others

in addition to the reply for VV:

What "fast" WU's are and how important they are!


Typically SixTrack simulates 60 particles at a time as they travel around the ring, and runs the simulation for 100000 loops around the ring. That may sound like a lot, but it is less than 10s in the real world. Still, it is enough to test whether the beam is going to remain on a stable orbit for a much longer time, or risks losing control and flying off course into the walls of the vacuum tube - a very serious problem that could result in the machine being stopped for repairs if it happens in real life. By repeating such calculations thousands of times, it is possible to map out the conditions under which the beam should be stable.


Hint: Did you remark 10s (10 sec.) and the results -name #s, combine yourself...

Note: I needed to Detach and then Attach to the LHC project again, before I could download work. :)

Just a side note, I added the "Fast WU" as a question in my FAQ. The first LHC@Home entry (and it is pretty lonesome all by itself).

If there are topical questions that should be added, drop me a line ... or add the question yourself to the FAQ ... though if you also have the answer, it would be better by e-mail ...
