1) Questions and Answers : Windows : when more work will be coming? (Message 21301) Posted 10 Mar 2009 by Van Durrett Post: The administrators have stated that they are not planning on having any of the data generated by the LHC crunched through LHC@Home, due to the download size and OS requirements. They may have other projects run through CERN available at some point. This was a bug in the server code. It was fixed sometime ago, but admin haven\\\'t updated the code used by this project yet. Regards Michael I see, thanks. So is there no hope for this project to become a full fledged distributed computing project?

3) Questions and Answers : Windows : when more work will be coming? (Message 21291) Posted 5 Mar 2009 by Van Durrett Post: Usually we find out there is more work by seeing it in our queues. Is there any other way to know? An ETA of any kind? The people who administer this program I\'m sure have some idea of when stuff might be coming down the pipelines. There isn\'t any way to know I\'m afraid. The work is added by the scientists when they need it done, which could be a day away, a week, a month or longer. The project administrators have previously said that they don\'t have any prior knowledge of when the work will be submitted, as it is an automated process which doesn\'t require any input from them. Hope this helps Michael Thank you. I\'m hoping/assuming that when the LHC starts up in full later this year it\'ll generate some more work, lots more. It may be of a different nature though.
4) Message boards : Number crunching : WUs returning zero credit despite successful completion (Message 21267) Posted 26 Feb 2009 by Van Durrett Post: I don\\\'t know if this has been addressed before but I recently successfully computed a work unit and received zero credit for it. On the WU page it lists ~10 other hosts that tried to compute it but resulted in a \\\"client error.\\\" What\\\'s up with this? Is my aging 2.8ghz P4 more capable than other computers?! application SixTrack created 24 Feb 2009 16:35:42 UTC name w1_lhc_t1__44__s__64.31_59.32__10_11__5__30_1_sixvf_boinc3649 minimum quorum 2 initial replication 2 max # of error/total/success tasks 10, 10, 10 errors Too many total results Task ID click for details Computer Sent Time reported or deadline explain Server state explain Outcome explain Client state explain CPU time (sec) claimed credit granted credit 17843412 9779281 24 Feb 2009 16:35:49 UTC 24 Feb 2009 17:37:29 UTC Over Client error Compute error 0.00 0.00 --- 17843413 9686565 24 Feb 2009 16:35:49 UTC 25 Feb 2009 1:05:33 UTC Over Client error Compute error 0.00 0.00 --- 17846618 170783 24 Feb 2009 17:37:35 UTC 24 Feb 2009 23:41:40 UTC Over Client error Compute error 0.00 0.00 --- 17856074 9725950 24 Feb 2009 23:41:48 UTC 25 Feb 2009 0:42:53 UTC Over Client error Compute error 0.00 0.00 --- 17856417 9642525 25 Feb 2009 0:42:59 UTC 25 Feb 2009 0:59:14 UTC Over Client error Compute error 0.00 0.00 --- 17856504 9778786 25 Feb 2009 0:59:20 UTC 25 Feb 2009 22:12:34 UTC Over Success Done 1,078.86 2.64 0.00 17856532 9721435 25 Feb 2009 1:05:41 UTC 25 Feb 2009 1:36:15 UTC Over Client error Compute error 0.00 0.00 --- 17856658 9752441 25 Feb 2009 1:36:23 UTC 25 Feb 2009 2:22:28 UTC Over Client error Compute error 0.00 0.00 --- 17856831 75058 25 Feb 2009 2:22:37 UTC 25 Feb 2009 4:13:29 UTC Over Client error Compute error 0.00 0.00 --- 17857185 3171419 25 Feb 2009 4:13:37 UTC 25 Feb 2009 22:46:06 UTC Over Client error Compute error 0.00 0.00 --- 17868095 9758775 25 Feb 2009 22:46:13 UTC 26 Feb 2009 7:40:09 UTC Over Client error Compute error 0.00 0.00 ---
5) Questions and Answers : Wish list : Realistic Screensaver (Message 21257) Posted 25 Feb 2009 by Van Durrett Post: I\'m with the other two guys, the screensaver doesn\'t even really represent what the WU is doing. Don\'t get me wrong, it\'s cool as hell, but more information on what is actually being done/calculated/analyzed. I read somewhere that a different screensaver is/was being developed and I was wondering on the status of that side project.

7) Questions and Answers : Windows : HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP (Message 21190) Posted 18 Feb 2009 by Van Durrett Post: It would be nice if a note about this was put on the front page. I signed up and could not figure out what was wrong until I checked the server status.
