You're 1050Ti with 4GB is about 50/50 pass/fail so I wouldn't say 3GB is enough.

GPUGrid is NV only.

You'll want 12GB+ for the quantum app. This is the cheapest NV 12 GB card on newegg.

PDW reached out to WEP

Hi, WEP has been down for quite a while so I emailed James to ask about it last night, his final response said...


I do actually have reserve servers all setup and ready to go - some even significantly faster than the old server! However I wanted to stop mainly for two reasons - 1) I’m now in my late fifties, and my wife and I have both been planning retirement preferment this year anyway.
2) I think the algorithm I was using will work significantly better on bigger numbers, and I don’t think I’ve quite got the energy to make a fairly big change to the setup.
I’m probably going to be continuing manually (ie not BOINCified) with my own farm crunching on the Mersenneplustwo numbers tho, as that’s very easy to do…

It’s been a wild ride (at times) for 17 years, and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it!!!

>
> If it's dead I'll let other know, there's been no other communication to advise what's happening.

Thanks very much - feel free to quote anything I’ve written

Thanks for the update, Conan.

9 months and just 9 new apps. The projects continue to shut down faster than new ones come up.
6) Message boards : Number crunching : LHC Theory and Theory Native are being confused (Message 10432)
Posted 16 Jan 2024 by mmonnin
LHCb isn't listed at LHC app page, just like Theory Native as it is not an active app. The active app is Theory Simulation for all versions. Versions (plan_class) are not counted separately at WUProp.

VBox and Native at the same application, just different versions. The BLUE BAR is the app. They are:

SixTrack
sixtracktest (beta test)
CMS Simulation
Theory Simulation
ATLAS Simulation
ATLAS (long simulation) (beta test)


The same ones are listed here:
https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/server_status.php

Right under the words "Tasks by application"
Theory Simulation is the app. The vbox version contains all the setup that must be done to run it natively.

It's just some other detector made to work with BOINC.

We can just add hundreds of clients w/o actually have a device now?

A user with hundreds of clients. 7.7k hours would require 320+ devices.

YES as long as you are crunching the task, however long that takes the hours get counted. It's not about the Science in this case it's about the hours. They stopped this for awhile but now it's back on again, so if those numbers are yours get it up to 50k hours before they shut it down again.

Part of the problem could be that it's really hard to get a Detector and they cost more than most people want to spend when you can get one.


They have no device, get no credit at Radioactive and are not really doing anything. This is not the same as running multiple NCI tasks/clients on the same PC. A GQ GMC-300S is available for $68 from Amazon, not hard to get.

WUProp monitors at the application level. LHC Theory app has two plan classes, the vbox version and native version.

The blue bar on the application, not the individual version lines is what WUProp monitors.
https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/apps.php

IF WUProp did then we've have no entries for NV versions as well as AMD versions. Or SSE, AVX, AVX512, FMA versions of the same app.

I received 12 tasks the other day after the sticky post but nothing since. No validator yet for that app so there won't be credits for now.

I just got an Android phone off ebay, installed the latest BOINC version and it's screen doesn't need to be on. I did get an instance of it saying the battery needs to be above 90% although it was at 100%. It is on Android Android 7.1.1.

I see your hours, not sure if they were there when you posted. It has a red color as if it was inactive.

I had received some of the 1000 and 1018 tasks. Most were too quick to receive any credit to the hundredth place. Others were 0.01 to 0.04 credit.

0.15 and 0.02 WUProp hours between them. It probably took more time to setup BOINC(and incorrectly at that) then to just crunch the work yourself as a scientist.

The server status page keeps flopping from no tasks to validate/analyze to 108266 last I checked few minutes ago.


Yup, thats happened the last few times hours were not reporting. I saw zero each time I checked.

Hours are coming back now.

Looks like hours are not being added.
I don't always check the server status page but I see traitement_v4 and credit not running.

It's BS.

No tasks completed from WUProp users:
https://wuprop.boinc-af.org/active_projects.py

Free-DC was down for me this morning so some type of server issues.

Free-DC has no credit for years

I only see this entry in the client state files. This name is also 'inactive' here at WUProp with the red text but I am getting hours. I have over 2.5k hours for Gravitational Wave search O3 All-Sky #1 with more hours this week.
