Thank you Ray Murray for the explanation ;) But i am sure we had duplicated tasks in the beginning because we compared the whole task name and it was the same.

We keep running but we need to do a restart after the weekend - maybe now it is fine because als PCs are registert in the database. We will see - i will keep you informed.

Okay - now we joined 16 PCs - all are working and running tasks - but, however, some running the same tasks. Some ideas here? We will keep it running to check ...

Edit: Just two from the news PCs are listed under active PCs

Is there a way to get the number of active PCs? Like you guys did it except from counting the list?

Thank you for you feedback!

We gave it a try with two rooms ( 85 PCs ) over night. I am amazed that everything is right now. But i am confused why it took so long?! Yesterday in the evening we had about 12 active PCs but 85 PCs online and connected and just a few tasks. But all PCs were running some tasks.

Is there a management server or sth. like this which checks the PCs e.g. every hour and check if same tasks are running on different PCs and reassign the tasks?

I am glad that it is running now but i can not explain why we need a while everything runs right.

We have two other rooms we will join today ( same procedure as yesterday ) so i will report!

Thanks & Greetings

Hi,

we have a univerity computer lab with about 120 computer and we would like to join LHC@home in the time the rooms are unused.

We use OpenSLX as a streaming virtualisation so for that we have a basic image. After a long time we configured, with help from some BOINC guys, to change the hostname to an unique one and register automaticaly the LHC.

Now, after testing on 5 PCs, we are running a test with about 20 PCs and run into a problem. Some computer are running the same tasks and are not showing in the computer list of our account.

Is there a limation for registations accoring to a time e.g. 5 PCs in 30min or is there another problem?

All PCs have own IPv4 Adresses, a unique MAC and a unique hostname. BOINC was fresh installed and not startet in the image. So each PC should be unique.

Some ideas? We are from Germany - so if someone like we can skype because our project here is a bit confusing.

Thanks!
