1) Message boards : Number crunching : Upload data amounts (Message 27592) Posted 10 Sep 2015 by Snow Crash Post: Just a guess - I think that traffic may be from your participation in the vLHC project http://lhcathome2.cern.ch/vLHCathome/hosts_user.php?userid=12567
2) Message boards : Number crunching : a question about work distribution (Message 27349) Posted 9 Apr 2015 by Snow Crash Post: I think it is a standard BOINC mechanism that over the course of time will try all variations of an app that can run on a device to try and figure out which is the most efficient code set. Once BOINC has figured out which runs best it will still occasionally send a different version to check and see if anything has changed from a performance perspective. -Steve

5) Message boards : Number crunching : Available work? (Message 27268) Posted 3 Apr 2015 by Snow Crash Post: Thanks for the update ... I'm thinking of this as part of the big picture ... just like LHC needs to be calibrated before 'beaming', we're helping to calibrate the simulations and infrastructure <thumbsup>

9) Message boards : Number crunching : Running, high priority... (Message 25576) Posted 12 May 2013 by Snow Crash Post: couple of thoughts ... I believe it is the high cache setting that causes Boinc to think it has to run LHC tasks as "high priority" mode as it does not think there is enough time to finish. So if this is true turn your cache down to .5 / .01 and see if the status switches to "running". That being said, if you still have too many taks to complete in the time allotted you will remain in "high priority" mode. As for continually getting tasks even though you have it set to low resource usage, I'm guessing it may be a combination of a large "switch between tasks" time which tells BOINC to exactly that ... not switch of LHC and then every time a high priority gets reported, it pulls more WUs.

10) Message boards : News : Status and Plans, Saturday 29th September, 2012 (Message 24888) Posted 9 Oct 2012 by Snow Crash Post: I'm all for monster WUs ... bring them on I say! While it might be a fair amount of work initially to set up a second application for people to choose from it would give you the flexibility to allow people to 'opt in' and also give you a seperate queue for any future "odd" runs you might dream up :-) -Steve
