I forgot to post this with all of the excitement of the WCG Birthday Challenge going on. The seventh Challenge of the 2017 Challenge series is a 3 day challenge to celebrate Pierre de Fermat's Birthday! The challenge is being offered on several Generalized Fermat Prime Search Projects. All the...

Looks like DC-Vault might be done. here is why. Earlier this week the domain name expired. So, I had Rusty look into it. I have no idea if this means he will just get a new domain and let it continue to limp along or just let it die as it has lost its popularity over the years due to the main...

I figured I would mention a few other distros being put out in the world to simplify things for others or possibly add options that others may not have. http://www.boincitaly.org/supporto/boinc-distro.html#eng https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=11961

https://boinc.drugdiscoveryathome.com/forum_thread.php?id=2108 They have a new Gromacs application for Linux and Windows that they are testing. They are still in testing, but this makes another Bio/Medical project on GPU's.

https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/team/challenge/viewTeamChallenge.do?challengeId=8617 I have signed the team up. It will go from 11/16-11/22. This challenge is points based. Only work units that are turned in and validated during these dates will count. More information and statistics...

I thought maybe people would want to make a list of the times they see on different hardware here. Device Run time Cpu time Credit application NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS (512MB) driver: 34201 - 103,458.71 - 865.25 -...

So, I received this today over at POGS

WCG has a new sub project called - Microbiome Immunity Project! https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread_thread,40248 I gave it a thread of its own for more potential exposure. Overview of the sub project - https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/research/mip1/overview.do

Since I am an admin at DC-Vault I need to make it very clear up front. I will NEVER suggest adding nor removing projects simply to improve our standing. When it comes to this, I make those suggestions for the sake of bettering the competition even if it hurts us. History will show that I have...

Does anyone here have experience with using Docker that might be able to get it working with multiple boinc clients? I currently have a how-to in the guides section for running multiple clients within Windows, but wonder if Docker would be a better option. Thoughts? And this may help for...

So, I set up a 20GB Ramdisk to put a ton of multi clients into. Loaded up the first 700 in 100 increments and it kept the full 8 total cores at full load... And they were erroring out. Will try loading up in 100 increments again but checking them with each step to see how it goes. I did the...

http://xansons4cod.com/xansons4cod/index.php They now also have multi-threaded apps available for CPU. This was previously pretty much GPU.

http://boinc.gridcomputingcenter.org/ On top of running the NCI applications from GoofyxGrid, it appears that they are now testing some cryptocoin generation options to fill the place of BitoinUtopia. Apparently you will be able to mine XMR from the project if you opt in. Currently only AMD...

I now have the first badge level -

I used to keep this via a PM, but should better suffice here. Today I am noticing Citizen Science Grid paying out rather high. My borgs have been running the current EXACT MNIST Batch Norm CNN Trainer v0.30 work units and seem to be earning around .219 points per second per thread. It may be a...

After 40 years the mystery of the "Wow!" signal may have been found, and the answer is a bit disappointing. A little history, In August 1977, the Ohio State's "Big Ear" Observatory picked up a radio transmission from the Sagittarius constellation that was so strong it inspired the astronomer who...

ChristianVirtual's request in the WCG recognition thread inspired this thread. I didn't really want to discuss it in open forums due to some of the tips not being always looked upon as fair. Sometimes work units are hard to come by, are set to a lower priority, and are gobbled up as soon as...

Guys (gals?), I will be winding a lot of my production down for the summer. This will be the first summer I have done a major cut. I will be focusing mostly on projects that need testing, new projects I haven't hit 1 million points in, and the occaisional challenge. So, please do not think I'm...

6/14-6/21 - Amicable Numbers - Amicable Numbers Stress Test for inclusion in the DC-Vault - https://boincstats.com/en/stats/challenge/team/chat/935 This project is both GPU and CPU. It scores well even on CPU. CPU work units are multi-threaded.

There was no announcement, but it seems the work buffers have ran dry for all sub projects. If anyone notices their rigs run dry, be patient. I'm sure there will be a post addressing the issue. I'm doubting it is related to the Pentathlon and more than likely part of preparations for their...

Amicable Numbers now has badges - https://sech.me/boinc/Amicable/forum_thread.php?id=14#194 I have this one - These are based on how many pairs you have found.

Drug Discovery now has badges - https://boinc.drugdiscoveryathome.com/forum_thread.php?id=2083#4771 I have this one for 10k -

GoofyxGrid is a non-CPU intensive project. At least for now it is. However, some people would like to run more work units on their machines to better support the project. In this event, you would either need to run virtual machines, multiple clients, or both. I recommend if running Windows to...

Amicable Numbers - Current goal of the project is to find all amicable pairs with smallest member < 264. All new findings are published regularly on the Amicable pairs list page. https://sech.me/boinc/Amicable/ Team link - https://sech.me/boinc/Amicable/team_display.php?teamid=1999 This project...

AgrFan already posted this in the WCG thread https://hardforum.com/threads/world-community-grid.1833345/page-6#post-1042781874 but I figured it may get more exposure with its own as an announcement of sorts. https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/research/scc1/overview.do

This project just got re-vitalized. The page is still under development so some links aren't working. However, they are working on both CPU and GPU work units. It's always nice to find another bio/medical GPU project. Crossing my fingers. https://boinc.drugdiscoveryathome.com/

Since I didn't have access to the website at work, I copied this from OcUK's post. Thanks hanluc. New season has started and along with it new rules. Also this year, in addition to the usual FB scoring (called marathons now) there will be a sprint discipline. Sprint : 20 events of 3-days...
