new work eta?
(Message 11443)
Posted 22 Nov 2005 by Robert Laughlin Post: Another small study (150000 jobs) was run last week, but people grab the stuff so fast that it never really showed. The last few results of that run returned yesterday late afternoon. I have been asking the physicist what is planned for the future, but no news yet. Maybe a break for the end of year?? regards Robert Laughlin |

Newbie Questions - Boinc 5.2.2
(Message 11129)
Posted 29 Oct 2005 by Robert Laughlin Post: No problems at all; up and running again. It took about 15 minutes to find and read instructions, and then perform them. E@H started straight up (screensaver working too); waiting for next batch of LHC@H to become available. Article is well written and easy to follow. Well ... boinc screensaver was working. Went away for 1/2 hour and returned to see my notebook screen being driven at a very high vertical sync rate - too fast for the video card. Back to "Blank" screensaver. regards Robert |

Newbie Questions - Boinc 5.2.2
(Message 11095)
Posted 28 Oct 2005 by Robert Laughlin Post: Sorry to burden with these questions, can't find simple answers anywhere. 1. Is there any advantage to this project (or E@H) in upgrading Boinc Manager from v4.45 to v5.2.2 ? 2. If so, do I need to select "No New Work", wait for WU's to end and then upgrade? Or can I upgrade on the run? Thanks in advance regards Robert Laughlin |

Pending Credit
(Message 10364)
Posted 22 Sep 2005 by Robert Laughlin Post: I have 5 or 6 WU's pending credit, and my only thought is "are they usable to the project?". Personally, I would prefer a simpler credit system ~ 1 point for usable WU results, 0 points for anything else. I can live with the fact that I dont own a farm of the fastest number-crunchers in existence; so long as I am contributing in a positive way to the project, I'm happy. I understand the Boinc method of levelling granted credit on the basis of machine configuration, and time utilised on the project, to encourage participants. But the scientific value MUST override all concerns, after all, why else were these projects started. regards Robert Laughlin |

Why just half the credit than the others in one result?
(Message 10306)
Posted 20 Sep 2005 by Robert Laughlin Post: <blockquote><blockquote>Don't forget that most AV packages also have a process running to try to stop in memory activity. I am not sure if Norton AV was causing my CPDN crashes as I have never uninstalled it to check ... hmmm, if/when I get time I guess I will have to try to remember to do that ... OS-X is pretty robust so the risk should be low I suppose ...</blockquote> My solution, do not use AV. Do not visit unknown websites. Do not use IE. Do not download software using filesharing utilities. Use webmail instead of a client. I check for viruses every 6 months or so (a quick install of Norton usually does the trick). I haven't had a virus since I got rid of my Amiga 1200 (>6 years ago). Just be careful out there1</blockquote> I thought Norton's WAS a virus .... (slows computer, creates unpredictable behaviour, crashes computer). |

Posted 11 Sep 2005 by Robert Laughlin Post: <blockquote>"So please be patient, and remember: this could also be a good reason to try Linux! As the knoppix website says: from zero to Linux in 5 minutes..."</blockquote> Thankyou for the timely information, and good luck with your coding. As for linux, if I had a spare computer I would try; I run too many windows apps to dual boot this machine. So I will patiently wait for the windows version and for registration to reopen. regards Robert |

Posted 10 Sep 2005 by Robert Laughlin Post: <blockquote>September 9, 2005 First application now available, for the i686-pc-linux-gnu platform only. We are generating WUs, and of course we are noticing a lot of problems, as expected. Please report any problem, using the forums. </blockquote> I notice the Create Account page has the following message "Account Creation is Disabled Sorry, this project has disabled the creation of new accounts. We plan to enable again account creation during the beta testing, probably in November 2005. Thank you for your interest in supporting orbit@home, we hope you will join us then." Will there be a Windows version available then? If so, will I be able to sign up in advance for that, either beta testing client or full application? regards Robert |

Posted 10 Sep 2005 by Robert Laughlin Post: Quote: A small percentage of WU's terminate very rapidly in the case where the particles are lost due to beam instability - which is very interesting for us if not for the donor's credit - sorry! The credits don't worry me, I was unsure of whether those low credit WU's were of value to your project - thanks for the report. Out of curiosity, why do the beam instabilities interest you? regards Robert |
