the singular reason to switch Windows machines from VBox to Docker, which is unnecessary anyway, would be to shut you up.


Please, admins, could you suspend this account?

You consider that a "vast" difference. That pretty much settles the validity of the rest of your complaint. Enjoy your whinge.


Oh, my gosh.
I'm NOT whinging.
I'm only saing that in the vast part of the Boinc projects, the majority of computational power comes from Windows machines.
This is a FACT. Is it a problem for you?

But it is only a secondary point and, again, you're OFF TOPIC.
The thread is about Docker and the advantages it does.

Not even "ultra-vast majority".

Yes, it is. But i think this is not the topic of the thread.

You know all those VBox apps are running Linux inside the VMs, right.

So? Do you know the difference between VirtualBox on WIndows and Docker/WLS on Windows?

Personally, I run the Native apps.


You are a lucky man.
I have only Windows computers.
And, if i can give more computational power to the boinc project only with simple change of the virtualization platform, i'm happy...

Ok, not all, but the ultra-vast majority.

Simply not true for LHC@home. See statistics page.


Only for LHC.
If you see ALL others Boinc project, are ALL windows majority.

P.S.
By the way: what's the problem with Docker? it's a possibility that doesn't take anything away....

Virtualbox runs just fine. I see no need for Docker.


Do you see the benchmarks between VirtualBox and Docker? Don't you like to have access to gpu for vm? No? Don't you like that, at administrative side, it's easier to maintain?

This feature is for Windows pcs (that are the absolute majority), but it's also for linux machine (if you have NOT a native linux app).

Seems that the work is progressing...

- New philosophy: always query the presence of software (WSL distros, Docker)
even if client config doesn't allow its use.
Send the config info to scheduler, and enforce it there.
- New philosophy: allow running jobs in any WSL distro
except those disallowed in the config

- Add plan class support for WSL and Docker app versions

- client: query the libc version of WSL distros.
The plan class entry for a WSL app version
can specify a min libc version.

- wsl_wrapper: add --min_libc_version cmdline arg
(should match plan class spec)

Boinc developers are working to integrate natively Docker on Boinc platform.
Benefits: portability, faster, use of gpus, easier maintenance, etc

Are admins working with boinc developers to see if it is suitable for LHC@Home?

Sting Theory could be painful in theory


I think that ST is very interesting and deep.
But has nothing to do with reality.
During the years is become a new religion

As shown in Figure 2, the data are consistent with the background prediction.
The event yields in all search regions matched Standard-Model expectations.

From the latest ABP Computing Meeting:

• Development was completely on hold
• Needs to be reactivated soon (in light of resource issues)
• No showstoppers, essentially working prototype, only limitation is developer time
• IT is eager to have this activated, SixTrack has historically been a major job source

If its important to you you can make a pull request on Github and restart the development since its an open source project.


?? Why we have to "force" developers/scientists?
If they slowed down the boinc project, they had their own reasons
When they will release new work, we crunch it!!
