1) Message boards : Number crunching : not sending out SixTrack Message 28689 Posted 27 Jan 2017 by CoM	From time to time the server is very closefisted. More than half a million of sixtrack WUs, but not giving them away.
2) Message boards : Number crunching : not sending out SixTrack Message 28598 Posted 21 Jan 2017 by CoM	As off now there are 336,450 WUs of SixTrack supposed to be ready to be sent out, but my machines don't get any of them. Addendum: Now I am flooded with WUs :)
3) Message boards : Number crunching : Lots of Work! Message 27067 Posted 19 Jan 2015 by CoM	Oh my god!! More than half a million!!
4) Message boards : Number crunching : Is this legit? Message 27018 Posted 1 Dec 2014 by CoM	Argghh, I never been UATD so far? I am in the TOP100 and have a profile. OK, didn't modified is since a while.
5) Message boards : Number crunching : help Message 27016 Posted 29 Nov 2014 by CoM	How?
6) Message boards : Number crunching : Happy Crunching Message 26322 Posted 6 Apr 2014 by CoM	Now even: 399,999
7) Message boards : Number crunching : Happy Crunching Message 26320 Posted 5 Apr 2014 by CoM	I almost couldn't believe WU ready to send: 353,048 LHC@Home production run!! I need more machines ... Happy number crunching everyone.
8) Message boards : Number crunching : Long WU's Message 24619 Posted 16 Aug 2012 by CoM	I also had such a monster: http://lhcathomeclassic.cern.ch/sixtrack/workunit.php?wuid=2515279 Spending 110 hours (more ) on it and only getting 190.57 Credits. Thats not fair ;(
9) Message boards : Number crunching : Computation Error Message 24355 Posted 14 Jul 2012 by CoM	Igor, is the error with the SSE3 WUs now removed. See below that it effects mainly SSE3 WUs: http://lhcathomeclassic.cern.ch/sixtrack/results.php?hostid=9942772&offset=0&show_names=0&state=5&appid= CoM
10) Message boards : Number crunching : Computation Error Message 24334 Posted 13 Jul 2012 by CoM	13/07/2012 16:14:17 LHC@home 1.0 Aborting task w1jul_niebb1d__37__s__64.28_59.31__9.6_9.8__6__28_1_sixvf_boinc64820_1: exceeded elapsed time limit 18257.559888 Thats just one example of the error I get from my machines. I checked computers of other users and its the same. The only difference is the time after the error kicks in. Seems like it scales to the computer. The question is, why is there a time limit? REMOVE IT!! Please The crunching from hours (in case of my main machine 5 hours) gets wasted, without receiving any credit for that WU. I think I will delete all LHC WUs that now and check later, when the time limit gets removed. P.S.: After looking through several computers task I got the impression that this happens mainly to SSE3 tasks, some PNI, no SSE2 seen so far.
11) Message boards : Number crunching : Faulty Computers or Modified BOINC ?? Huge Credits Message 23807 Posted 6 Jan 2012 by CoM	Again, I demand the project admins to delete those credits granted to that users!!!
12) Message boards : Number crunching : Faulty Computers or Modified BOINC ?? Huge Credits Message 23747 Posted 27 Nov 2011 by CoM	I support everybody demanding the cancellation of the amount of credit granted to those users!! Most of us struggle hard to get some of the rare Work-unit so it takes weeks to get some thousand of credits.
13) Message boards : Number crunching : Too low credits granted in LHC Message 23418 Posted 9 Oct 2011 by CoM	A HINT TO ALL COMPLAINING ABOUT TOO LOW CREDITS FROM LHC@HOME: DETACH, SUSPEND, RESET, SET TO "NO NEW WORK", ... There are dozens of BOINC projects, so you are free to choose any.
14) Message boards : Number crunching : Waiting on Linux App Message 22603 Posted 10 Nov 2010 by CoM	I join you.
15) Message boards : LHC@home Science : [BUG] Task in pending since 24 Jun Message 22571 Posted 10 Oct 2010 by CoM	my oldest ist from: 6 Jul 2006 :)
16) Message boards : Number crunching : Confused on WU error Message 22480 Posted 17 Aug 2010 by CoM	Same here: 17/08/2010 19:18:56 lhcathome Aborting task wbnlaug10_DA-scaling-law1__1__s__64.31_59.32__76_78__6__78_1_sixvf_boinc1704_3: exceeded elapsed time limit 1352.531625 17/08/2010 19:18:56 lhcathome Aborting task wbnlaug10_DA-scaling-law1__1__s__64.31_59.32__48_50__6__6_1_sixvf_boinc830_4: exceeded elapsed time limit 1352.531625 Seems like they don't have much trust in the stability of their WUs. But there is also this error: 17/08/2010 19:19:01 lhcathome [error] Error reported by file upload server: nbytes missing or negative 17/08/2010 19:19:01 lhcathome Giving up on upload of wbnlaug10_DA-scaling-law1__1__s__64.31_59.32__48_50__6__6_1_sixvf_boinc830_4_0: permanent upload error
17) Message boards : LHC@home Science : Gravity ? Message 19249 Posted 16 Mar 2008 by CoM	Would the Earths own magnetic field have any bearing on the results. In so far as affecting the accelerated particles ? My reasoning behind these questions is would the experiments be more effective if conducted off of the planet ? The magnetic field of the earth, donÂ´t affect the experiment. The detectors use a magnetic field for impulse measurement, but it is orders of magnitude stronger.
18) Message boards : LHC@home Science : When to plan to start LHC again? Message 18949 Posted 1 Feb 2008 by CoM	At least two of the detectors have taken data already: ALiCE CMS (admittedly not from collisions yet...) Yes, almost every detector use cosmics for calibration. So even there is no beam you can test and check the detector. But there are some restrictions: cosmics mainly come down vertical, so you wont have tracks horizontal. The energy deposition is not much, it may be under threshold of some detector devices.
19) Message boards : LHC@home Science : When to plan to start LHC again? Message 18879 Posted 25 Jan 2008 by CoM	this link leads to the current schedule http://sylvainw.home.cern.ch/sylvainw/planning-follow-up/Schedule.pdf as u can see the first 7 TeV beam should be available mid may the real question is, when will the detectors start to take data. p.s.: everything is preliminary and CERN sustained some throwbacks in the last years.
20) Message boards : LHC@home Science : Is there a risk of the scientists getting impatient? Message 18453 Posted 29 Oct 2007 by CoM	I can imagine who, but thats not worth the work.
