Thanks for supporting SixTrack at LHC@Home and updates
(Message 34076)
Posted 25 Jan 2018 by noderaser Post: I'm very glad to hear that the relationship between the LHC personnel and the volunteer crunchers has improved to this level, where we are regularly updated on the project's status and kept in the loop about how our work is assisting yours. It seems like it was not very long ago, when this was not the case. I hope that this can continue, and that everyone is able to make contributions (even small ones) to the science. I anticipate sticking around with LHC as one of my go-to projects to keep my humble fleet of computers processing away, for the foreseeable future. |

Posted 4 Oct 2017 by noderaser Post: Yikes, it's been a few years since I had to use a metered internet connection at home; I never used 1 TB but that was five years ago! Have no idea how much I use these days. Yes, Internet access generally boil down to two options in most areas; either the phone company, or the cable company. And, there are only two or three companies in each category that get most of the business across the entire nation. In some smaller areas, you may only have one "option" for a hard-line service provider. |

VirtualBox Task Priority
(Message 28862)
Posted 14 Feb 2017 by noderaser Post: I guess I should have noted that I was looking at these stalled tasks using BoincTasks, which apparently can't handle the messages from BOINC Manager with Vbox. BoincTasks just says "Waiting to run", but when I checked another host from BOINC Manager directly, I got the message "Postponed: VM Hypervisor failed to enter an online state in a timely fashion". Manually installing the latest version of vBox (5.1.14) and restarting BOINC Manager, the tasks started running normally. I don't have one that has completed yet, but so far everything looks good! Thanks for the pointers! |

VirtualBox Task Priority
(Message 28847)
Posted 13 Feb 2017 by noderaser Post: I have VirtualBox up and running on my host, but none of my tasks seem to be completed on time; they are either completed after the deadline and dropped from the tasks page, or aborted by the server--can't really tell. But, whenever I have a vbox task, it only runs when there are no other tasks available to work on, even if they should be running as "high priority" because it's nearing or over the deadline. However, this only seems to occur with vbox tasks; SixTrack tasks run just the same as any other project. Any pointers as to what I should be looking into, to get the vbox tasks to run normally? |

(Message 27830)
Posted 21 Oct 2016 by noderaser Post: I think it would make sense to have them all under one roof, like WCG or the Citizen Science Grid. I would be happy to help CERN/LHC's other BOINC endeavors, but really don't want to add "another" project. You'd probably gain a few additional users as well, ones like me who don't have accounts at all the projects already. |

Posted 12 Jan 2016 by noderaser Post: I would also like to see any new endeavors added to the existing project, there are already too many LHC projects to keep track of! In fact, I would be in favor of them being consolidated, perhaps like the University of North Dakota did with its "Citizen Science Grid" and the old projects, Wildlife@Home, SubsetSum@Home, and DNA@Home. |

Posted 31 Mar 2009 by noderaser Post: Simply put, this message means that LHC@Home doesn\'t have anything for your computer to do. Right now, you are not along in getting this message. This project only gets short bursts of work, so you shouldn\'t make it your only BOINC project. |

Posted 28 Mar 2009 by noderaser Post: With the short bursts of work here, there\'s no way to guarantee that everyone will get some. Your hosts\' work queue scheduler requests might be such that they aren\'t asking for new work from LHC when it is available. |

I hope that this can be sorted out, with some tweaking on CERN\'s end and some updates to the webpage and forum, and I think the project will pick up and have resolve some of the negative impressions some people have about this project. |

Posted 3 Mar 2009 by noderaser Post: Dear volunteers, Who is this? Actually someone at CERN/LHC? If so, please stop by every now and then! Having interaction with the people who get the data our computers crunch makes the masses very happy, and might attract new users or increase your resource share. To be honest, I\'ve been thinking about dropping this project from my repertoire because of the lack of input from admins, devs and scientists. Side note: If there has been involvement and I\'ve been to stupid/distracted to notice, perhaps using the \"Project administrator/developer/scientist\" tags would help. I\'ve seen them in other project forums, although I\'m not sure if they are included in the version of BOINC that you\'re running. IIRC, Naesan has them but no one else. |
