I activated my LHC@home on my Linux BOINC client last week, but so far I haven't received any tasks. Is the project still active or is there something wrong with my setup? I already have most applications enables. My other projects such as SETI@home are working fine. How do I debug this? Run only the selected applications SixTrack: yes sixtracktest: no CMS Simulation: yes LHCb Simulation: yes Theory Simulation: yes ATLAS Simulation: yes ALICE Simulation: yes Benchmark Application: no If no work for selected applications is available, accept work from other applications? yes |

Oops, seems like there's already a thread on this topic... |

You will get better advice if you make it easy for other volunteers to help you. With your hosts hidden it's difficult to taylor advice to your computers' capabilities. Exposing your hosts does not expose enough info for anybody to attack. |

Welcome back, Wenzao, You joined a long time ago but maybe haven't been active for a while so you might still be attached to the old url? At your convenience, detach and reattach to https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome Sixtack work supply is always sporadic but there is usually plenty of work for the VM apps, for which you need to download VBox. Start with only allowing Theory as they are the most gentle. Check out Yeti's checklist to ensure smooth running of the more resource-hungry apps. My own boxes will only run Theory successfully, or LHCb if I limit them to only 2 tasks running. I tried Atlas again recently and find that I can only run it as a single core with nothing else. As Bronco says, with your computers being hidden, we can't tell what resources you have and, therefore, if that might be the issue. Come back and tell us how you get on. |
