LHC@home

Same problem here. This is my first LHC@Home unit so I don\\\'t have any \\\"it worked before\\\" to benchmark against. As I\\\'m writing this the work unit has been at 100% for 1hr 20mins and does not seem to be using any CPU usage on the WindowsXP task manager. However nor is it completing the task and other BOINC projects are waiting for it to finish.

I suppose if I has multiple processors I might not have even noticed this.

So essentially what MSeery is saying is that this project is entirely useless and will never get work.

I have been subscribed to this \"project\" for an eternity and never got any work from it. If this project has nothing to do it serves no function and should be shut down. I think BOINC users has much more important things to do then waiting for never arriving work. And the most irritating thing about the LHC@Home is that there is no real information that this project is just a wall of air. you have to poke around in the forums before you get the message. I suggest this project gets something to to or disappear into a black hole.

I'm a bit confused here. I upgraded to 6.2.18 since I was having some vista issues with 5.x, and as we speak it seems to be happily churning on LHC WU's (I've even completed a few and gotten credits for them). What exactly is the problem with 6.2.x?

Today I joined LHCatHOME . But I\\\'m getting following error.

Server Message: Can\\\'t attach shared memory.
Why?
When it will be solved

Hi all. As a new user I get the message

Server error - can\\\'t attach shared memory

Is there no work?

What does this mean? Is it a problem on my
end or is it with the server?

When, if ever, will LHC@home be crunching actual LHC data in WUs?

Not a chance, a single dataset which a machine needs would be at least 1 gigabyte of data and your machine would have to download that before it could do anything else. We are TRYING to find something from the analysis of real data that will port but the big four have told us that the code is too, lets say, verbose.

We have a second project it\'s called the Grid. The LHC\'s computing needs are being fulfilled by that IF we can get something ported to BOINC we will but I reiterate we have no money. Also it\'s not just the download are you all willing to have large, hard drives, massive broadband connections and run only Scientific Linux (CERN edition) and not use your machines for anything else?

However this would require a person to port the software from the current Grid setup to BOINC and for the Grid software to be actually portable. Not only do we not have this person (see the money issue above) we have also been told that there is no way the applications the Grid runs are lightweight enough to be ported to BOINC. We keep prodding and asking about simulation applications/other experiments etc but nothing so far.

Hey,

Well pending the black hole about to be .. kidding.

I thought i would help out a bit but i get no workload? Yet there seem to be about 260 pending projects on the server?

Hi,

I noticed that many among the latest WUs my hosts processed lasted no more than 10 seconds (mostly much below that).

Is that normal?

If I set LHC at a low priority, when there
is no work for LHC, does my other project run
at 100% or at the reduced proportion?

Also, does this affect how much work I get?

Lastly is it 10 per user or 10 per computer?
I've kept my slower machines off LHC< but
since the WUs are small, 10 per machine
won't eat into my other crunching too much.
Advice will be appreciated.
Thanks. - KEEP ON CRUNCHING.

please help me

I'm running Mac OS X 10.4 (tiger), and have heard that OS X is basically the same as UNIX. My BOINC client, however, has recieved no work, even though it should. Any ideas?

I understand there's still no or little work, right?

As the turn-up of the LHC is imminent now, are there any plans to use the help of the LHC@Home Community for doing the real science on LHC?

I have two accounts. Both have the same name and same password. One has my current and correct email address, the other has my old email address. I have tried several methods to get these two merged but nothing seems to work. Is it possible and how would I go about it? Thanks

Why are work units and results disappearing?

i would like to know why i get no wok for my computer ? i run 7 projects all are doing fine except lhc...what csn i do?

this is becoming a huge wast of time for me.....i can do a different project easy enough.... so i give till morning to get work instead of messages or i go elsewhere lhc is a huge disaster for me....i really wanted to be of service........adios

I want to reinstall LHC@home (after I lost everything due to a lightning strike), but the BOINC Manager "attach to a new project" button requires me to enter an "account key"

Q. How do I get the account key resent?
