Posted 18 Jan 2008 by Richard Mitnick Post: I think I learned about "crashing into walls". In the LHC forum at allprojectstats.com, John Hunt gave a link to a bunch of YouTube videos about the LHC at CERN. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJPMfnz2E In one video, produced at Google, a woman from Berkeley is giving a lecture about LHC. She says that in a New Yorker article about LHC looking for Higgs, it will be like "finding a needle in a needle factory." I searched on the phrase with only the domain newyorker.com and came up with it. http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2007/05/14/070514fa_fact_kolbert?currentPage=all The author says that it takes 1800 times the energy to push as proton as it does an electron or positron, and that all particles want to go straight, so I think that very simply tells us why we are not getting a good result when the task experiences this result of "crash into walls." I recommend the videos and the article. >>RSM |

Posted 14 Jan 2008 by Richard Mitnick Post: O.K., I understand now, that the crashing has not to do with my crunching, but the project design of the task. So, I am sticking with it. I am interested in C.E.R.N. since 1991, when I watched a film, "Creation of the Universe", narrated by Timothy Ferris. It visited C.E.R.N. and FERMI labs and I was hooked. So, lets get somehthing going. >>RSM |

Posted 10 Jan 2008 by Richard Mitnick Post: They not reward for result that "crash into the walls" ; QUESTIONS What means "crash into walls"? I saw all of the failures in results, that is why I posted my question. What means " you put more then 1.5 seconds cpu time on your side for sure but you not going to be rewarded for it." I do not have any overclocking on my machines. >>RSM |

Posted 9 Jan 2008 by Richard Mitnick Post: I was very excited to get some tasks from LHC@home. I am running the project on two superb Core 2 Duo machines, and I saw tasks on both. Yet, I only have one result. I do not understand why other tasks failed. >>RSM |

First tasks from LHC@home
(Message 18791)
Posted 2 Jan 2008 by Richard Mitnick Post: So, I just got my first tasks from LHC, one each on two computers. I am thrilled to have these tasks. I first learned of C.E.R.N. in a video called "Creation of the Universe" on PBS in 1985. When I saw LHC@home, I just wanted to be part of it. Thank you very much. >>RSM |

Posted 21 Dec 2007 by Richard Mitnick Post: I can't seem to be able to change my Hey, I just signed on here, but that direction was a bit brief. Go to main page, then "Your Account"|Message Board Preferences. All I wanted to do was add a signature. But, you know, BOINC linked projects are a lot like the Wild West, build your team for each one, individualize yourself on each forum. Best, >>RSM |

Posted 21 Dec 2007 by Richard Mitnick Post: I just signed on to this project, then saw this blurb on the web site which reads, "Up, out of work 5224 workunits in progress 6 concurrent connections" So, I would like to know if in fact the project is sending out tasks. Thanks, >>RSM |
