Hi all, After many years at CERN I am moving on to a new job, so I will no longer be in charge of the ATLAS part of LHC@Home. It has been an great experience working on this project and I would like to thank you all for helping to produce extremely useful physics results for the ATLAS experiment. I would also like to thank the many people who give help and support on this forum even though ATLAS is one of the more challenging BOINC apps to run. Someone else will take over from me soon (the hiring process is on-going) to develop things further but in the meantime there should continue to be a steady stream of tasks available. I also hope to continue crunching for ATLAS as a "normal" volunteer. Best regards, David PS Quick advert for my new employer :) https://proton.me/ |

This is a good news for us to see you in the future as a part of us volunteers again. David, thank you so much for your time and knowledge for us. |

Hi all, Thanks David, always was good working with you and talking over the years and hope you are moving on to what you will enjoy and be what you want to be doing. Best regards, - Samson Volunteer Mad Scientist For Life |

Where is replacement and when will they be here? |

It seems there was no replacement, on the LHCdev forum, computezrmle recently posted that Since David Cameron left CERN there's no BOINC development for ATLAS. Someone asked if this was also valid for LHC prod (here) but no answer so far. |

Given the sporadic nature and different characteristics of each batch, I'm hopeful that the prod jobs are released by human for actual science. Would be good to confirm for sure. |

Do we have any confirmation if Atlas tasks on LHC main project (here) are doing anything useful from a scientific perspective ? |

You don't see an empty ATLAS queue here, do you? That means scientists submit work to LHC@home. Lots of work as can be seen here: https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/atlas_job.php The details of the campaigns are usually not explained here. So, guess they don't submit work just for fun. |

Toujours aussi charmant ce mec... faudrait penser à enlever le parapluie du fion. Translation : thanks a lot for this nicely explained information. |
