During downtime it should be manditory to freeze the creation of new users -- and existing users should be forced to logon and do limited and seletive account maintance. |

LHC group should lobby the MUON1 screen saver people over to BOINC
(Message 13454)
Posted 26 Apr 2006 by HireMe.geek.nz Post: The LHC group should lobby the MUON1 (nutreno reseach) screen saver people over to BOINC. This could solve the LHC "work not avalable" problem. MUON1 seems to be fully debugged -- just not fully compliant with BOINC technology. The changeover to BOINC could be trival for MUON1. The current X86-XP binary is under 250k. CERN should provision the moveover to BOINC as BOINC is better than 'homebrew' setups for distributed computing. BOINC's design flaws keep disappearing with new version upgrades -- albeit MAC and LINUX / UNIX versions are essentally free of overt design flaws. |
