1) Message boards : Cafe LHC : Translantations to other langueges (Message 15818) Posted 14 Dec 2006 by Mchl Post: BTW: We've translated into Polish articles from 'About LHC@home' as well as 4 status reports and FAQ. They're all available here: http://www.boincatpoland.org/modules.php?name=Content&pa=list_pages_categories&cid=2
2) Message boards : Number crunching : Discepency in Credits? (Message 14156) Posted 24 Jun 2006 by Mchl Post: I told Willy at BOINCstats about LHC problems and he probably disabled importing stats from the project to avoid corrupted data. See here But indeed files in http://lhcathome.cern.ch/stats/ are dated Jul 21st 2006

5) Message boards : Number crunching : @CERN Staff-Thank you for-NOT-reset the credits ;-) (Message 3002) Posted 1 Oct 2004 by Mchl Post: >1.10.2004 18:24 UTC >We are sorry for not clarifying the credit question earlier. Because all the workunits processed by the beta testers have been of value to the project, we have decided to not reset the credits. Set, preset, reset or not. Thanks for making up your mind ;-)
6) Message boards : Number crunching : @mb-it is possible to start the CRAY XD1 to help crunching (Message 2999) Posted 1 Oct 2004 by Mchl Post: That seem sensible to me. I read that Cray's OS is not Windows (that didn't surprise me) nor linux (that was not a big surprise either) but something called Super Unix. A surprise to me is that sixtrack could run on it without any alterations in code. MB, did you get any output files from your Cray experiment?

That's wy it made me curious, when MB has written that Cray can crunch WU in 2.5secs. Maybe it has some system of 'merging' CPUs so they look like one for an application? I just can't believe that Opterons could be so efficient. I know these are state of the art CPUs, but I wouldn't expect such a difference.

I am sure folks there would be happy with some units actually finished. And we would now how long would it take for Cray to do one CPDN unit. Go for it! Do at least one run! ;-)

That would be strange at least.

12) Message boards : Number crunching : what is tunescan? (Message 2791) Posted 29 Sep 2004 by Mchl Post: As far as I remember there was a post about it. Someone reported same thing the staff said they're investigating it. Got one of these units. Can't wait to process it ;-)

Had to install .NET though I'am not really sure what it is. Now, lesse if I can translate this spy thing...

Could you please tell me where can I find info on how to run BOINC as a service?

18) Message boards : Cafe LHC : Sixtrack still in BETA (Message 2760) Posted 29 Sep 2004 by Mchl Post: So LHC@home is out of beta. Great. Yet we still use Sixtrack 4.46 which reports as Beta-release. Or has it been changed in version that is avilable to download now?
19) Message boards : Cafe LHC : HAPPY 50TH ANNIVERSARY (Message 2636) Posted 28 Sep 2004 by Mchl Post: Wszystkiego najlepszego! (In case you didn't get an idea, post 'Happy Birthday' (or whatever you find appropriate) in your language)
20) Message boards : Number crunching : New rules for forums (Message 2622) Posted 28 Sep 2004 by Mchl Post: One more thing. Now you have cleared most of the boards, yet on my account page the number of posted messages remains the same (though the link leads to the short list of non-deleted posts) <------- And look here! This number is also too high! Or should it be the counter of all posts, whether deleted or not? I have similar problem on S@H boards, but there the number is too low (and not updating) ;-)
