LHC@home

does anybody know if there is a newsletter, that is sent automatically once there is new work available? Either from lhc@home or from some team out there? Checking mail is easier for me than returning to the site each day. In periods of no work I usually disable work requests in BOINC and then it happens that I'm too late to get some work ;)

the best thing would be for them to post a news item that new work is available
if you don't want to have to visit the site to read news (or check if there are even any new items) then get a feed reader, such as SharpReader and add the LHC RSS news feed to it, then it'll be easy to check, as easy as email, but without the many problems associated with an email list/newsletter (for both recipients and the project staff)

also setting no new work means exactly that, no new work, the ideal situation is that a boinc client should be allowed to get new LHC work when available, and some other method used to reduce the frequency of the log entries

Dont know if this is right or wrong but having checked my team(Scotland's Seti) stats on LHC they show a total of 35,715.90.
However if i add all the stats for the team myself they show a total of 54,642.35!

Is there something wrong with the stats in LHC?

Or am i missing something altogether?

Not had any members left but have actually had a couple of new members but even at that it doesnt account for the difference in the totals.

I have four othe projects attacked but still no luck.
I have no work from any of them. besides one evey other week.

Einstein@home, Sztaki Desktop Grid, Rosetta@home, BOINC Simap, etc.

All of those have plenty of work.

With the new (v 5+) clients the CPID should settle down to the one currently held by your oldest (first to register) current (still downloading work) project - on older clients the rules were different.

ps - good to see you still around the boards here Peter ;-)

Simple question, can it be done? I would like to be able to link all of my stats together and this project has a different cpid from my others. I'm not really sure how it happened.

In any case, as you probably know, BOINC has no limit on duplicate names

Why are some people keeping enormous work caches? Like this guy in here One computer

A bit over 500 WUs on a Pentium 4 3.0 GHz. Is there any sense?

Well over a hundred (I stopped counting) will hit the deadline tomorrow and since he`s doing less than 10 a day!!!!!!!!!!. Maybe the admin people could stop this happening. Theres worse offenders in other projects, one in Simap with 1700 just timeing out while I wait (pending credit) for the wu to be re-issued.

Junk.

If the earth is growing, where is the matter coming from?

Why is it that the Pacific is shrinking measurably? Where is it going?

As I said: junk!

Chrulle said (elsewhere)

On a more personal note I will leave Cern at the end of the month. I do not yet know who will take over the day to day server administration, but i expect Ben will look in on the message boards from time to time.

I know some people have already expressed good wishes for your future, Chrulle, and I'd like to join in. I have enjoyed the fact that our paths crossed briefly on LHC@home and I feel sure you will be an asset wherever you go next.

All the best,

Why do i have so much pending credits ?
(Pending credit: 5,499.10)

Is the validator not working correct ?

ADMINS do something about this problem!!!!

Using a Watt/Hr meter, I estimate I'm using around $65 a month. But then I'm running nine computers 24/7.

I presume you (and most everyone else) has their monitors off?

Maybe they wait for 1000000 workunits a nice big number :-)

Let's hope than that those WU don't have an error and go ballastic.
