Post: Seems to be working properly here too ... but I have run into issues before where a specific project just doesn't seem to "play properly" with certain other projects. Suprisingly, it's SETI that gives me the most problems in that area (completed work not uploading) |

(Message 23788)
Posted 23 Dec 2011 by Ocean Archer
Post: I did find this note posted on the Test4Theory main page: "News CERN end of year shutdown Starting tomorrow, December 22nd, CERN closes for the holiday period and reopens on January 5th, 2012. During this time, our project will operate on a "best-effort" basis. No special action is needed by volunteers but the flow of jobs may be interrupted and the T4T web site itself may not respond in the case of power cuts. We send our holiday and New Year greetings to all our volunteers and thank everyone who contributed to T4T's very successful first year of growth and development. We have a New Year present ready to announce when we come back: a major T4T revision including much more detailed information for volunteers on the CERN jobs they are running. See you next year, The team!" Since I don't have any of the virtual Machine software loaded on my machine, I won't be joining Test4Theory. |

Actual LHC data to crunch?
(Message 20380)
Posted 15 Sep 2008 by Ocean Archer
Post: Dagorath -- Is it possible that the fourth and fifth crunchers are not continuously attached to the Internet? Perhaps they connect only once a day, or maybe even once every other day, because they utilize a dial-up connection. I grant you, that the method being used may not be the most efficient, but it does work (most of the time). Like you, I do not get all the WUs that I can handle, but I do get some, and remember, I FREELY DONATE MY TIME TO THIS PROJECT (among others). Last time I looked, there is nobody holding a revolver to my head, and forcing me to make time available on my machines. I am here BY MY OWN CHOICE. If I feel at any time, that my services are being mis-used, there\'s a button on the PROJECTS page of BOINC called DETACH ... I understand it works very well |

(Message 19912)
Posted 12 Aug 2008 by Ocean Archer
Post: Dagorath -- I can only comment on the ones I received, and they were a mixture of packets running SixTrack 4.67 I say "mixture", because the WUs took anywhere from a short time of less than 3 seconds, to a time of over two hours, depending on machine and content. All in all, I received 12 packets on 10.8.08, 18 packets on 11.8.08, and so far, 5 packets today (spread across my six machines --> about 2 or 3 per machine per day) |

Posted 12 Aug 2008 by Ocean Archer
Post: Kibble, Dagorath, et.al. -- I too would be upset by finding the WUs my machines worked on had been designated "redundant", but looking back over several months, I don't find that to be the case. Of course, most of my machines are of the older P III (coppermine) type processors, running about 950mhz speed, so I keep my queues to a minimum. This enables me to return the work in a timely manner. I suspect that those who run queues that are several days in size run a greater risk of having their packets cancelled due to others completing them and returning them sooner. Like you both mention - the discussion of initial replication is one for another thread, but for a 'junior cruncher' like myself, it works ... |

Post: APoch-- Be very, very glad you didn't get any of the nearly 1500 Work Units from the other day -- it appears that every one of them got hung up in the transmission stage, and are now taking up space on hundreds of machines ... unable to be processed. I don't know how long it will be before the error is fixed, but I have found out one thing here on LHC@home ... patience is a virtue |
