The LHC group should lobby the MUON1 (nutreno reseach) screen saver people over to BOINC.

This could solve the LHC "work not avalable" problem.

MUON1 seems to be fully debugged -- just not fully compliant with BOINC technology.

The changeover to BOINC could be trival for MUON1.
The current X86-XP binary is under 250k.

CERN should provision the moveover to BOINC as BOINC is better than 'homebrew' setups for distributed computing.

BOINC's design flaws keep disappearing with new version upgrades -- albeit MAC and LINUX / UNIX versions are essentally free of overt design flaws.

Distributed computing has been around before BOINC has become stable.

I think they've already made a lot of progress so far, and that telling them to switch to BOINC would not be productive at his stage of research.



I'm not the LHC Alex. Just a number cruncher like everyone else here.

Why should CERN do this? Why would they want to?

There is no LHC work not available "problem".

Geek - you need to think before you post.

Oh - and btw I looked at your web site. From what you have posted here I can't imagine why anyone would employ you.

Hey Mike - why are you being aggresive?
Fool.

I think MUON1 should continue as they are. Their client is stable, highly optimised and does what the project admins want it to do.

I don't understand why projects should move over to BOINC - I think BOINC is possibly the worst project manager I've ever used. Personally, I prefer individual clients. The worst part about BOINC in my honest opinion is the credit system (we've all seen threads on project forums where arguments over credit has come up with fairness coming into the situation).

Simple solution don't use BOINC if your not happy with it
