As you now bring all LHC-Projects together it gets more and more needed: An entry on the Server-Status-Page (or a new separate page) that shows real Data that is available to crunch, but not only how much BOINC-Conatiner-WUs are available. Then the Users can avoid to try to crunch sub-projects that do not really have work At the moment I`m writing this people download and crunch LHCb-WUs, but it seems that there is no real work available. No user can identify if he has a problem or CERN has a problem and that is not really satisfying ! Supporting BOINC, a great concept ! |

Thanks Yeti, good suggestion. Sixtrack is on and off with batches of jobs, while our VM applications in principle should have work all the time. I have flagged the LHCb application as "Beta" for now, and the issue you mention should be followed up by our colleagues. |

For the moment, you can get the minimum number of queued CMS jobs (not CMS@Home tasks) on the CMS Jobs Page. If the number queued is less than ~1000, then that is all that's left in the queue and I need to submit more. If it's ~1000, there are an indeterminate number of jobs still waiting to go in the queue; if its more than ~1000 then there is another batch submitted, the excess being the number left in the current batch. I daresay Laurence can copy Andrew's technique for making these figures available when we transfer from the RAL HTCondor server to one at CERN (we're ironing out the kinks in my being able to submit to the new server at the moment). |
