1) Message boards : Number crunching : Host corruption solved? (Message 11044) Posted 26 Oct 2005 by Digitalis Post: Just manually updated the wu's from overnight crunching and host info is now remaining intact here after a credit update.
2) Message boards : Number crunching : Host corruption (Message 10890) Posted 25 Oct 2005 by Digitalis Post: Yep. Host location was gone. Reset to correct venue (home, school, work) and all came good. This corrected my problem also.
3) Message boards : Number crunching : Host corruption (Message 10883) Posted 25 Oct 2005 by Digitalis Post: This one, others seem to be ok. http://lhcathome.cern.ch/show_host_detail.php?hostid=22011 Boinc client is 5.2.2 and last contact was within the last 2 hours.
4) Message boards : Number crunching : When Will LHC Server Be Updated to Handle BOINC 5.1.*? (Message 10592) Posted 5 Oct 2005 by Digitalis Post: <blockquote>We are waiting to get another server which we will use for backup and testing purposes. We will install BOINC5 and MySQL4 on that and start alpha-testing. But I don't know when this will happen. Anyway, we are not in hurry with BOINC5. We let other projects experiment with it for a while and see how they are doing:) </blockquote> LHC is now the only one of five projects I run which is not v5 compatible and this version will become the standard soon I think. Any updates on this?

6) Message boards : Number crunching : The Great LHC Hold-Up (Message 8309) Posted 5 Jul 2005 by Digitalis Post: > Here's the link to the paper: > > http://www.fatbat.dk/thesis/ > > click on the THesis PDF download link to read it. > Yes lots of interesting reading there. This caught my eye. No need for optimised apps for LHC I think. "The LHC simulation that was chosen to be the basis for LHC@home was SixTrack. SixTrack has been developed over the last 20 years by Frank Schmidt, and is used by CERN and other synchrotrons3 around the world to do beam studies. Like much of CERN's older software it is written in Fortran. On the initiative of Eric McIntosh it is also used as part of the SPEC4 floating point benchmark. So CERN, when buying new computers, never have to estimate how well a new processor will run SixTrack, but can look it up directly. Another added benefit is that manufacturers will optimize their hardware and compilers to get the best benchmark score, so modern CPUs and compilers are directly optimized for SixTrack performance."
7) Message boards : Number crunching : new work is here!!!! (Message 8205) Posted 29 Jun 2005 by Digitalis Post: At last! Getting sixtrack 4.66 wu's on FC3 and 4.67 on Xp. And graphics on an ATI card. :)
8) Message boards : Number crunching : WU errors (Message 8016) Posted 8 Jun 2005 by Digitalis Post: Done, if its not correct let me know. Good luck with your project.

(Message 7133) Posted 21 Apr 2005 by Digitalis Post: Got 29 wu's on a Linux (FC3) machine over the last few hours, non for XP. The first three have completed in 10, 15 and 45 mins. The first 2 have shown up as pending but the claimed credit is small. I noticed the app has also updated from 4.64 to 4.66. No sign of a graphic in cc4.35.
13) Message boards : Number crunching : Welcome back LHC (Message 5834) Posted 22 Feb 2005 by Digitalis Post: Great to see the doors are open to the public at LHC again. But look at all those stern faces. :-)
14) Message boards : Number crunching : Unable to merge computers. (Message 5819) Posted 22 Feb 2005 by Digitalis Post: AFAIK this is how it goes. In order to merge machines thet must have the same cpu and operating system. BOINC has changed the description of Intel cpus from "Intel(R)Pentium....." to "Genuine Intel(R) Pentium...." hence they are treated as separate machines. Your total credits will still be ok.

18) Message boards : Number crunching : 3rd staus report issued, Liberto very happy (Message 5582) Posted 15 Jan 2005 by Digitalis Post: ;-)
19) Message boards : LHC@home Science : Is the project dead? (Message 5470) Posted 8 Dec 2004 by Digitalis Post: Looks like an improved project will be back in early 2005. See service announcements on Nov 01 '04 and Dec 07 '04.</p>
