1) Message boards : Number crunching : Available work? Message 27628 Posted 4 Nov 2015 by alvin	Cant get any wus last 4 days :( hey, be optimistic. there are 40k tasks are executing right now for 9k users, so you possibly would have 5 tasks in average.
2) Message boards : Number crunching : Available work? Message 27608 Posted 11 Oct 2015 by alvin	Also some other projects like Atlas are out there too
3) Message boards : Number crunching : Available work? Message 27607 Posted 11 Oct 2015 by alvin	I saw 90 unsent wus at status page but no wus downlaod. boinc log like this. 11/10/2015 05:00:49 \| LHC@home 1.0 \| Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. 11/10/2015 05:00:49 \| LHC@home 1.0 \| Requesting new tasks for CPU 11/10/2015 05:00:51 \| LHC@home 1.0 \| Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks 11/10/2015 05:00:51 \| LHC@home 1.0 \| Project has no tasks available There is some delay in actual status refresh. We did a lot during upgrade stage, so hope more to come. You always could do Virtual@LHC which is Virtual Box based tasks cruncher. Just download big package http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/boinc_7.6.9_windows_intelx86_vbox.exe
4) Message boards : Number crunching : Upload data amounts Message 27594 Posted 11 Sep 2015 by alvin	naf. the difference is 50 times)
5) Message boards : Number crunching : Upload data amounts Message 27588 Posted 8 Sep 2015 by alvin	I have currently running this project and its all fine except one thing upload data amount here is monthly report address download upload total cern.ch 6.58 GB (1.5 %) 25.9 GB (29 %) 32.5 GB (6.1 %) as you can see it does 29% of my upload traffic and I have either terminate the project or ask you to pack results on client side if possible? And these numbers are only for small amount of tasks we've executed recently Could compressing data be an option in settings? I suppose all those years ages ago noone cares about those amounts, but why the difference disbalance between incoming data and outcoming data is so huge? Anyway I think some action either on project side or whole boinc side could be done to pursue the balance and minimise traffic.

Shed some light on us, we are starving How can you be "starving" when you participate in 21 Projects. I'm doing work for 4 and I always have enough work to keep busy. Granted, it's not always LHC Tasks but I just keep crunching away. LHC Tasks tend to be feast or famine. It's the nature of the work they are doing for the LHC. all boinc projects are ranged for me and LHC is one of top ones.

9) Message boards : Number crunching : sorry if this has been already covered...GPU? Message 27553 Posted 2 Jul 2015 by alvin	my wife is a physicist,LHC takes priority..but until GPU is available it will be doing SETI,CPU doing LHC(if they ever get more tasks up) :) as you can see by my results... oh it definitely will be more tasks - this project is about beam focusing and at least Atlas and vLHCathome projects you might be interested too
10) Message boards : Number crunching : sorry if this has been already covered...GPU? Message 27551 Posted 2 Jul 2015 by alvin	possible to use GPU to process LHC@home tasks? my crossfired 290x's are being used for SETI atm but id rather concentrate on LHC if possible.thanks So you don't want talk to aliens any time soon?
11) Message boards : Number crunching : Host messing up tons of results Message 27417 Posted 1 May 2015 by alvin	Some very strange though like this 4 executions, all sse2, 2 good, 2 bad http://lhcathomeclassic.cern.ch/sixtrack/workunit.php?wuid=31988591
12) Message boards : Number crunching : Host messing up tons of results Message 27416 Posted 1 May 2015 by alvin	Have bunch of inconclusives last days. Most of them PNI. Same tasks performed on SSE2 by others successfully completed. All desktops represented once as I see - so no issue with hosts, issue with tasks itself it seems.
13) Message boards : News : Upgrade of the look and feel of the SixTrack website Message 27408 Posted 24 Apr 2015 by alvin	width auto adjustment for all pages would be wonderful too for sure) the rest is good
14) Message boards : Number crunching : Host messing up tons of results Message 27391 Posted 18 Apr 2015 by alvin	half inconclusives, quarter invalids, only 10% valid http://lhcathomeclassic.cern.ch/sixtrack/results.php?hostid=10137504
15) Message boards : Number crunching : Host messing up tons of results Message 27387 Posted 16 Apr 2015 by alvin	check that you have enough space check there are no other cpu-consuming tasks after Eric replied to you you might also reset project, reinstall BOINC, etc.
16) Message boards : Number crunching : Host messing up tons of results Message 27384 Posted 15 Apr 2015 by alvin	new host generates inconclusives, mostly 2-10 seconds http://lhcathomeclassic.cern.ch/sixtrack/results.php?hostid=9934863 Grubix and this is yours http://lhcathomeclassic.cern.ch/sixtrack/results.php?hostid=9874961&offset=0&show_names=0&state=3&appid= lets see what could we do about it
17) Message boards : Number crunching : Host messing up tons of results Message 27373 Posted 12 Apr 2015 by alvin	to get about ~150 WUs and to ensure workload for an entire week why would you need that many? if router fails you will see it in day or two, not a week I guess? If units failed due to timeout you put other users job in waste bin as they lost their already executed tasks due to your timeout I think. Admins, correct me if it's not like that.
18) Message boards : Number crunching : Host messing up tons of results Message 27364 Posted 10 Apr 2015 by alvin	another host with empty results http://lhcathomeclassic.cern.ch/sixtrack/results.php?hostid=10297384 All (235) In progress (12) Validation pending (2) Validation inconclusive (0) Valid (14) Invalid (0) Error (207)
19) Message boards : Number crunching : Host messing up tons of results Message 27360 Posted 10 Apr 2015 by alvin	Eric so users do crunch x86 on their 64-bit PC right? isn't it possible incompatibility point?
20) Message boards : Number crunching : Host messing up tons of results Message 27357 Posted 10 Apr 2015 by alvin	here are more details about that other host with huge number or errors http://lhcathomeclassic.cern.ch/sixtrack/results.php?hostid=10301941 All (978) In progress (32) Validation pending (3) Validation inconclusive (2) Valid (47) Invalid (0) Error (894) GenuineIntel Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770K CPU @ 3.50GHz [Family 6 Model 60 Stepping 3] Number of processors 8 Coprocessors NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN (4095MB) driver: 347.52 OpenCL: 1.1 Operating System Microsoft Windows 7 Professional x64 Edition, Service Pack 1, (06.01.7601.00) assuming BOINC client has to be 64-bit and all tasks have all 64-bit too? or it could do both x86 and 64-bit? http://lhcathomeclassic.cern.ch/sixtrack/host_app_versions.php?hostid=10301941 SixTrack 451.07 windows_x86_64 (sse2) Number of tasks completed 228 Max tasks per day 7 Number of tasks today 27 Consecutive valid tasks 0 Average processing rate 20.86 GFLOPS Average turnaround time 0.44 days SixTrack 451.07 windows_intelx86 (pni) Number of tasks completed 910 Max tasks per day 38 Number of tasks today 0 Consecutive valid tasks 10 Average processing rate 9.20 GFLOPS Average turnaround time 1.20 days SixTrack 451.07 windows_intelx86 Number of tasks completed 20 Max tasks per day 48 Number of tasks today 0 Consecutive valid tasks 0 Average processing rate 6.02 GFLOPS Average turnaround time 3.99 days
