Also, I'm looking into crunching on my nvidia graphics card. Looks feasible. http://www.gpugrid.net/ Done. It's up and running. Not all that hard to set up. Especially for someone more technically skilled. Apparently you get great gains in points. AWESOMENESS!  |

Hey all, I'm thinking about moving my laptop over to QMC just to try out another project. The quad stays with WCG as do my roommates' computers. And after all, our BOINC stats need some boosting! That would be great Jonathan. I would suggest, however, that you also run another project on it too. QMC sometimes has no work to send or a server is down. It is always good to run two (or more) on each machine. That way you don't loose any time. QMC has been very stable and the credits are good.  I had no idea I could do that. Maybe I'll keep the laptop on 50 50 WCG and QMC. You can run multiple projects under BOINC quite easily. You'll find the web sites for other projects a bit different from WCG's so be prepared for a few adjustments. You'll also find that the way many of the other projects are run a bit different from WCG as well. Many have minimal, if not skeletal, staffs and outages, scheduled or not, are more common, less planned and more on the fly, and a lot less organized. I think some projects are run under the "auspices" of the professor in charge but left in the hands of a grad. student to manage and operate along with everything else they have to do. How you "prioritize" projects is handled thru how you set the Resource Share for each project. That's just a number that determines its proportional share of crunching time. The numbers are not percentages but setting them across your projects in a way that lets you see them as a percentage can help mentally understand and keep track of how you're "prioritizing". Three projects with resource shares of 100, 100 and 100 each will each get one-third of your crunching resources. Setting them at 33, 33 and 33 makes that a little easier to understand. You'll also want to acquaint yourself with the type of work each project has and the deadlines they set. BOINC strives to do the work due the soonest for the most part so a project that tends to run with five day deadlines together with other projects that tends to run with eight day deadlines will tend to go to the front of the line when you get work from it. Again, that project will not run roughshod over your other projects as BOINC will use your resource shares to help determine which projects it will request new work from. As for the projects MOT has a presence at, Rosetta, Poem, Einstein, SETI, Spinhenge and Malaria Control normally have a ready supply of work at any given time and tend to be well managed. TANPAKU falls into that group as well but is currenty dealing with what seems to be some very major server problems. They've been dead in the water for about three weeks now. I have to wonder what, if anything, they had in the way of backups/disaster recovery plans and clearly they have dropped in my mind in terms of how I rank them as a quality project. The ones I mention above, along with WCG, are the top tier. TANPAKU is now a second tier project in my mind. Climate Prediction (CPDN) is also a top tier project but the VERY long duration of their WUs makes them QUITE unique. They do grant credit for work as you do it and don't wait until you've crunched for months so that is a real plus. The other projects we have a presence at are second and third tier projects. Some are sporadic with having WUs available. Some are more problematic in terms of outages or lack of work. What tends to separate the second from third tier projects is the effort made by the project admin. DM is right in that you can attach to the project from within BOINC itself. However, once you do, you definitely want to go to the project website and complete the rest of your profile and of course join MOT at that project. I would suggest taking a look at the websites of the projects you are interested in first, decide which ones you want to give a try, then attach to them one by one giving yourself a couple of days between each to give yourself time to get familiar with each. Edit: The other projects where MOT is at are: Proteins, SIMAP. Lattice, MilkyWay, QMC, and Cosmology. ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by keithhenry at Sep 8, 2008 4:59:19 AM] |

On Order! Thanks for the heads up Dataman! That's great Dave ... this old team is 'movin' on up".  And Keith will be adding one too. Which KVM did you choose? I'm so anxious to get mine tomorrow I've even dusted the cables.  Now if I would just do the rest of the house. I ordered this KVM switch. Three new quads -- about 24K points/day added to daily totals for team ya think? You're adding three quads to what you have? WOW! I'm jealous! |

Keith is going to have to start tracking BOINC Credits at the international team level. But we will not bug him about that until after the WCG "dog point" conversion to BOINC credits.  Yes, that's definitely going to be a task that will have to be fully automated. Manually tracking stats across 15 projects is just not practical. |

One other note, I still need someone to capture the team stats each day starting this Saturday (13th) thru the following Saturday (20th) inclusive. It should only take a minute or two of your time and is extremely simpe. You don't have to do it right after the stats update at the end of the day as the team stats only update once a day. Waiting until the next morning is quite fine. I'll be able to provide stats either way but without the daily data, I can only do stats for the nine day period and not each individual day. More of a problem is a month from now when I am posting the daily stats but don't have the daily stats for the 30 day prior baseline. Not sure how I can deal with that as I've not had to before.
