LHC@home

Heres a few Projects Missed so far ( and maybe why )

• if You run linux or have odd hardware and software Proteins
  
• if You have an interest in the workings of boinc BOINC Alpha
  
• if You don't mind waking up/coming home to hung/crashed pc's Predictor RALPH
  
• if You don't mind ocasional 36 hr 8 c.s. wu's (on a 16 c.s./hr machine) Sztaki
  
• if You enjoy watching boinc freakout (6 wu under 2 seconds then 2 over 48 hours) uFluids
  
• if You don't like much work Chess960 Simap Pirates BURP Neuron Nano-Hive
  
  
• if you dont mind waiting to join (or startup) ABC Depspid Lattice Malariacontrol Test Project Orbit
  
  

ha ha looks like i whine alot. I'v had no problems with Tampaku (not just saying that because i'v been their uotd 13 times)

VTU Xtrem & Prime Grid I'v had no problems with either
and Docking is too new to tell

Why does everybody need to rant before going? If you aren't comfortable with the project, and you really think you need to go, well just go! No need to post about it.

Hey there River~~

You seem quite up to date on all the different programs out there, maybe you could answer a couple of questions that I have ---

Has the ROSETTA program fixed their software where it will work well with others? I seem to remember a while back, they had major problems with starting and stopping in a shared environment.

I notice on your listing the program "WCG" -- what can you tell us about it, and what is the URL for the site? The same question goes for "LEIDEN", which I suspect probably has a lot to do with electrical engineering research ....

Thanks

Hi,
interesting question - good awnser.
Could you place this on a more obviouse place at the homepage? I guess many users have the same question. And two sentences well hidden under "technical callenges" are not enough information to cure curiuos spirits.

I wondered myself several times about why nothing seems to happen at the project and didn't even find really helpful information here in the discussion board (By the way - the FAQ-link doesn't work).
The newsboard is outdated and one can easily get the impression the last thing that happened in that project was a computer crash.
Contrary to other users who wrote in the forum I don't mind having a project on standby, waiting for work most of the time - it's not the only boinc project. But I need to know if the project still works and why I am on standby.

Think about this: A computer grid consisting of 6000 computer needs technical maintenance. But this grid also consists of 6000 computer owners who are willing to donate their CPU time to you (which is and at the end of the day real money if you take into account that energy consumption of newer CPU depends on the workload). They also need some "maintenance" if you don't want your grid to break into pieces sooner or later.
Just tell us whenever new work was sent out in the news board and maybe if new work is on the way. Just to let us know we are still needed.

How about adding a link to the server status page, http://lhcathome.cern.ch/server_status.php in the main page?

Or you could get Boinc Debt Viewer . It has a feature that allows your to reset your debts with the click of a button.

That utility sure does simplify that process. It's kinda cool for those who need it. :)

Look at that ShanerX

Message to Mods : please delete this thread .
Ps :Nightbird tu ne pourrais pas faire qqchose comme chez nos amis de Sztaki ?

Same guy, same propaganda (proselytism or spam)
A former thread from this guy has already been removed from different places
(Einstein, QMC...) a few weeks ago.
I won't be surprised to see it somewhere else in DC forum.
Sad.

LHC@Home models are the hardest probably to get validated because of the accuracy requirements.
