Twice as impressive in the "flesh" walking along a small corridor to open a regular sized door and be brought face to face with an 8 storey high particle detector in a massive underground cavern is mental.

That pic is now almost 3 years old, that area the guy is standing in has been filled in and closed off. It looked like this last summer

There are some webcams of ATLAS here and CMS here

CERN also have a massive library of images here of various things.

a) We don't need any calibration runs

b) There is work up and ready to be crunched on the server right now

That's all you do we're currently out of work (it happens see here). When work becomes available again (hopefully soon) your machine will automatically download some of it and start crunching away.

You replied to a 2 year old thread.

We have had WUs on and off for the last few weeks just none at the moment.

Also you are a member of the team Overclockers UK? If you are overclocking you will likely return incorrect results and not get any credit as LHC is very sensitive to overclocking.

70) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems fetching scheduler list over UMTS (Message 19057)
Posted 22 Feb 2008 by Profile Neasan
Post:
If I remember correctly, this site is not using the latest versions of the BOINC server software.

You remember correctly. It's three years old. I once managed to post on the forums under the admin's account due to security holes, but they still haven't upgraded, nor accepted by offer to help them manually patch the holes.



We know the code is old and all I am going to say is it is not my decision to not upgrade the code and it is out of my hands. I want to upgrade the code I will leave it at that.

p.s. the scheduler should work now fixed it Tuesday
71) Questions and Answers : Windows : DLL initialization error (Message 18958)
Posted 5 Feb 2008 by Profile Neasan
Post:
There does not seem to be anything you can do but there isn't much we can do. The problems stem from the latest BOINC client 5.10.30 and not from the SixTrack application. All the issues people have reported have appeared since the release of this latest version and affect a lot of projects not just ours. It appears that different combinations of circumstances mean that the heartbeat stops which the BOINC client, erroneously, calls a "DLL initialization error" in the current version and this causes problems and the slow down. This has been fixed since 5.10.30 but newer versions are still in testing so the fix hasn't been released.

The best idea is to stay disconnected until they release a newer client. I know this isn't a perfect solution but the issue is with the client not with the application.

Our application (of course) has had even more work put into it than the web pages, getting CSS compliance and XHTML compliance was child's play compared to the work that had to be done to get SixTrack to compute to the accuracy needed across heterogeneous platforms (and is partly the reason there is no Mac version).

This appears to not be a LHC@home only issue. A quick Google gives a few threads from other projects (SIMAP, QMC, Einstein etc) the only one which seems to give answers is:
http://boinc.bio.wzw.tum.de/boincsimap/forum/viewtopic.php?p=6974&sid=f37cff3ff96c8b9d361e79bc61cfd1ff

It appears to be a heartbeat issue, see if you can find the errors stderr.txt file and have a look at it.

75) Questions and Answers : Windows : Not Allowed to Manage Project; How Do I Detach From LHC@Home? (Message 18838)
Posted 14 Jan 2008 by Profile Neasan
Post:
a) What do you mean you can't manage it? i.e. you can't decide when you get work? that is not an LHC@home thing that is whatever client you use to run BOINC.
b) If you are using GridRepublic and that "is the only way to detach from LHC@home" (who told you that?) the it is a Gridrepublic issue.

Maybe some volunteers on here use GridRepublic and can help you but I just use the BOINC manager and if I need to detach a project I just tell it to detach

Just out of interest is anyone on here a teacher? I'm considering doing some work with schools and thought some contact with some Physics interested teachers could be useful(assuming you're interested in the LHC's science not just crunching something).

Ah no she's is referring to GridPP's Real Time Monitor (http://gridportal.hep.ph.ic.ac.uk/rtm/) developed at Imperial and shows the current state of the EGEE and EGEE compatible Grids. It is not a depiction of the BOINC work but is a great visualisation of what is happening on the Grid in real time.

Drop me a mail at n.oneillNOSPAM@NOSPAMqmul.ac.uk (with the obvious bits removed)

How about upgrading your server so that I can't do what I'm doing right now? --PovAddict

I now know what type of user you are and I really didn't want to believe there would be people like that on LHC@home but there are.
