Sixtrack BOINC application on track to be ported to GPUs?

Posted 12 Mar 2023 by Chooka Post: It's been a while since I've run them using the VM sorry. I'll have to revist that and let you know. Essentially they got stuck. They would run for 12, 14+hrs and go nowhere. I ended up aborting them if it went longer than 10hrs from memory. It was a real waste of power for me and hence I moved on. I'm not a technical person. I like things that just work... ie - sixtrack with no VM. I'll revisit the work in the near future & let you know specific wu's when it happens :) Glad to see a great supply of sixtrack work atm. I'm still expecting it to dry up quickly though unfortunately. |

Posted 11 Mar 2023 by Chooka Post: xtrack sounds interesting. I like sixtrack work but the projects can't keep enough wu's sent to me. I don't run Linux so I have to use a VM to run the ATLAS tasks and they are a bit hit & miss. I can have wu's stuck for hours which need to be aborted and are a huge waste of my time & electricity so I try to avoid the VM/ATLAS work unfortunately. Keen to see how xtrack unfolds. |

Posted 8 Mar 2022 by Chooka Post: Why don't people just join a REAL team instead of Gridcoin! I have no sympathy for anyone who's a part of Gridcoin and it isn't working. BOINC should be "volunteer computing", not paid :/ |

Posted 4 Oct 2019 by Chooka Post: I know this has been talked about before but why isn't there a sixtrack badge? Can't be that hard can it to add one more badge? We all love badges :D |

Posted 5 Nov 2017 by Chooka Post: Hi maeax, Yeah I'm aware of using the virtual box but I've chosen not to use it. Probably more so due to a lack of understanding what it would mean using a virtual box. I'm happy to just crunch 6 track work.....when you can get it. |

Posted 5 Nov 2017 by Chooka Post: I like this project but its frustrating trying to improve your rank when it seems near impossible to get a constant supply of 6track WU's. Shame there's no badge system for sixtrack either. |

Posted 27 Jun 2017 by Chooka Post: Appreciate all your efforts in trying to solve this. I'm a bit of a layman sorry when it comes to the technical talk regarding all this...should I stop crunching sixtrack work? Hi Juha, Thanks for the clarification. I think you misunderstood me though. I have plenty of patience but the WU's on my old Q9550 are taking around 12 hrs to complete. That would have been a lot of wasted time if it was all for nought. I crunch more than just LHC ;) |

Posted 26 Jun 2017 by Chooka Post: HIGHLY IMPORTANT Hi Eric, Appreciate all your efforts in trying to solve this. I'm a bit of a layman sorry when it comes to the technical talk regarding all this...should I stop crunching sixtrack work? I have 175 invalid WU's. Will I eventually get the credit or am I wasting time, power etc when I could crunch another project until resolved? I only crunch 6track btw. No VB. Kind regards Andrew |
