"CompositeGrid" is a totally bogus "project". I should know -- I run it. | |

"CompositeGrid" is a totally bogus "project". I should know -- I run it. Just wondering why you don't use the power of the crowd to test whatever it is your testing. David Anderson uses the power of the crowd to test new versions of whatever on the BOINC test server and that achieves just as little science as you're claiming. Yet testing is a valid activity. Whatever your purpose, a test IS useful else don't bother. We're all more than happy to test systems, apps, configurations. For the most part we're adults capable of making our own decisions. Plenty of us are delighted to help out on the non-science and we'd like to help you. Why not? What have you got to lose? | |

 Because sometimes we test things. Sometimes privately. Sometimes publicly. Either way, however, if WUProp is running on the computer that is connecting to the test server, it's going to report those tasks to the WUProp server, which automatically posts forum announcements here. | |

Just wondering why you don't use the power of the crowd to test whatever it is your testing. David Anderson uses the power of the crowd to test new versions of whatever on the BOINC test server and that achieves just as little science as you're claiming. Sometimes we do just that. It's certainly helpful when we have something that we think is production-ready and want to give it a thorough shake out. Having real users access the server often reveals problems we didn't think to look for. But if we've got something that we know doesn't work, and we're trying to fix it, having a crowd grabbing thousands of tasks when I only care about what happens to ONE task is harmful, not helpful. It hides the information I'm looking for in an ocean of irrelevant data, and it also means I need to make the server robust enough to serve an unexpectedly large number of tasks. Not to mention the time wasted trying to figure out why there's thousands of tasks going out instead of just 1. | |

 Yes I've found a few people are still running the CompositeGrid Project here at WuProp. Not me though, I'm not one of the fortunate ones to be allowed to run it. If a project isn't a open Project then I think it should be completely removed from the WuProp data base as Michael Goetz requested some time ago. | |

COMPLETELY AGREE - This project's info should be REMOVED from WuProp's database. SEE Message 3969 - Posted: 9 Jul 2016, 22:51:20 UTC Michael Goetz wrote: "CompositeGrid" is a totally bogus "project".

Well, I just found out that some tasks my comps did run from CompositeGrid were finally zeroed out here. STE\/E wrote:
I thought everyone attached to PrimeGrid could actually do CompositeGrid since they have the same accounts, or not? Maybe that changed, don't know. So it WAS an "open" project somehow. As an ATA I always liked to test stuff to help project people, but if we as test users are not desired and more or less "hardly" earned hours here are not "honored" or allowed for us testers then that's it. I'm detaching my clients from there now. ____________ Life is Science, and Science rules. To the universe and beyond Member of BOINC@Heidelberg My BOINC-Stats ![]() | |

I was just about to ask if Charity Engine was able to be attached to a client. It won't attach for me with user or email. | |

You have to use the Charity Engine Client to attach, I haven't been attached to them for quit awhile now because they seem to try & take over your BOINC Client so I avoid them now. | |

I was just about to ask if Charity Engine was able to be attached to a client. It won't attach for me with user or email. Email confirmation said the BOINC client could be used. Looks like it's not attached as a project but as an account manager. It seems to not be it's own project but just sends work from other projects? If it wasn't in the BOINC client how would WUProp monitor it? http://www.charityengine.com/node/792 | |

I was just about to ask if Charity Engine was able to be attached to a client. It won't attach for me with user or email. Since pretty much day one, CharityEngine allowed people to use the BOINC client by merely using it as the account manager. I had never used their client. And yes, this is how WUProp gets the info unless there was some oddity where WUProp was in the BOINC client also pulling from another clients info. If that is the case, then would be a huge privacy concern... ____________ ![]() | |

This project still showed up yesterday. The block on "CompositeGrid" appears to have been lost during recovery from the recent database problem here. I suspect the block will be reinstated at some point, at which point all the CompositeGrid WUProp hours will vanish again. This is out of my control. I don't recommend running CompositeGrid, unless you are actually doing PrimeGrid testing. (There is currently no testing right now.) ____________ Want to find one of the largest known primes?

Mike, what about the Multithreading test, does that count? | |
