1) Message boards : Number crunching : Failed Data Unit Downloads (Message 24233) Posted 10 Jul 2012 by bill brandt-gasuen Post: I'm on this same train as well. Numerous download failures. As an example: Task 4040891 w1jul_niebb1d__30__s__64.28_59.31__11.2_11.4__6__41_1_sixvf_boinc53085_9 <core_client_version>7.0.28</core_client_version> <![CDATA[ <message> app_version download error: couldn't get input files: <file_xfer_error> <file_name>sixtrack_linux_sse3</file_name> <error_code>-224</error_code> <error_message>permanent HTTP error</error_message> </file_xfer_error> </message> ]]> Just checked and they are failing on winxp 64-bit and win7 64-bit systems also. bill brandt-gasuen
2) Message boards : Number crunching : wath If mine crunching-work lead to an important discovery? (Message 24048) Posted 4 Jul 2012 by bill brandt-gasuen Post: I have just read a preliminary announcement addressing your reference to the Higgs Boson. A fabulous achievement, the culmination of years of theoretical work coupled with tenacious physical experiments. It would be a perfect event if distributed computing efforts associated with the work at LHC played even a small contribution to the discovery. Since the onset of SETI@home it has been my belief that Distributed Computing will one day be recognized as an important milestone in the history of science, a linchpin of scientific method. Now maybe we can move on to the other 96% of the universe! bill brandt-gasuen
