Post: There have been quite a number of Luck of the draw. It takes about 20k tasks before everyone gets some. Otherwise they tend to go before all the hosts can poll the server. |

Posted 7 Nov 2008 by Keck_Komputers
Post: Usually this is not possible at this project. Tasks are normally submitted by researchers directly to an automated system, the project admins usually find out about them at the same time we do. Or at least that is the way it used to work. |

only requesting 950 seconds of work
(Message 20684)
Posted 21 Oct 2008 by Keck_Komputers
Post: A 1 second request will still get the same tasks. Often what happens here is that the similation is unstable. |

(Message 20448)
Posted 20 Sep 2008 by Keck_Komputers
Post: The reason the sixtrack app may not use simd instructions is for compatibility. They need identical results. They do not even use standard math libs for this reason, since those can vary for each generation of CPU. |

LHC on nVidia GPUs
(Message 20319)
Posted 13 Sep 2008 by Keck_Komputers
Post: ive been looking for some time now. its obvious that GPU far surpass CPU when it comes to number crunching. Without buying a CUDA we\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'ll just need to wait for AMD\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s Shanghai. GPUs only surpass CPUs in special circumstances. They are getting better though. Some of the new ones can actually do double percision floating point math to the iee spec. |

Slow this train down
(Message 20235)
Posted 12 Sep 2008 by Keck_Komputers
Post: There is a good portion of tasks here that do not run to completion. Instead the beam is unstable and it crashes into the walls. These tasks are still valuable since they show things that should not be done in reality. |

Post: Read the line above that one. I bet it says something about not requesting work. The update button does not request work it just contacts the server and updates various things. |

(Message 19988)
Posted 2 Sep 2008 by Keck_Komputers
Post: This project will not show graphics with windows vista, or with any version 6 installation of BOINC. The science application needs to be upgraded before it will work in those configurations. |

The project giveth then taketh away
(Message 19898)
Posted 11 Aug 2008 by Keck_Komputers
Post: This is a feature which came with the new server code recently installed. Might or might not have been consciously activated by the admins. I hope it was activated on purpose. I have long stood behind the project's decision to issue extra tasks to increase turnaround. However I do not like my machines doing unneeded work. This feature allows the extra initial tasks without the unneeded ones. |

Posted 9 Aug 2008 by Keck_Komputers
Post: Will there be much more new work if the LHC starts finally working? Unlikely. The work we have been doing is about designing and building the LHC. The data gained from the working LHC will probably exceed the bandwidth capacity of the BOINC project. |

BONIC screensaver
(Message 19874)

Post: The LHC screensaver is one of the most attractive ones that there is. No it has not been changed, so it will not work with a version 6 client. |

Post: ... when they fire up the LHC next month the units will start pouring in wont they. ... Probably not. In it's current form this project is about designing and building the collider. So once it is active there will be less work for us. The data collected is likely to have too high a data to computation ratio to be send out using a DC project. |

Post: Pure luck. This project does not have a consistent supply of work. You should have at least one other project attached so your computer can keep busy when there is no work at this project. |

(Message 19791)
Posted 7 Jul 2008 by Keck_Komputers
Post: bump! I don't think there is anything you can do about it. Hopefully the back-end update will include a validator/assimilator that will spot the old tasks and move them to the next step. I don't know if the newer versions can find the old orphans, however they do create fewer so there is hope. |

lhc... has not given my computer any work for 2 days now what's up
(Message 19672)
Posted 26 May 2008 by Keck_Komputers
Post: This project rarely has work. It has had exceptionally large amounts of work in the past several months but do not get used to that. Due to the project's internal structure it is not possible to predict when or how much new work will be generated. The best advice for getting work is to set a small connect intraval and a large resource share. |

(Message 19640)
Posted 18 May 2008 by Keck_Komputers
Post: This project rarely has work. The past few months we have had a relatively constant supply of work, as in about once every two weeks new jobs are submitted. We usually finish it in a few days though. This still is not always enough to go around. In my opinion the best way to get LHC work is a short queue with a high resource share for LHC. |
