DO NOT use the “boinc development release” from the costamagnagianfranco PPA. It is causing problems and failed work on many projects. QuChem and MLC, which are both native Linux, all work fails. Also, any and all projects running VBox work, the VM’s won’t spin up and you’ll get a “can’t...

The PrimeGrid Challenge Series is an annual competition based on the results of monthly challenges. The purpose of the Challenge is to spotlight a specific project within PrimeGrid's family of projects as well as to offer a little "healthy" competition for PrimeGrid's participants. It is also...

New BOINC project located here: https://boinc.nanohub.org/nanoHUB_at_home/ nanoHUB is a research project, based at nanoHUB.org, that uses Internet-connected computers to do research in nanoscience and nanotechnology. You can contribute to our research by running a free program on your computer...

I couldn't find a dedicated thread for Acoustics, so I created one. Here are some average WU run times on Windows 10: (Hyper-Threading is enabled on all capable CPUs) TR [email protected] (DDR4-3200): ~40min TR [email protected] (DDR4-3200): ~42min [email protected] (DDR3-2133): ~51min [email protected]...

Calling all [H]eavy crunchers from the [H]orde! Currently, phoenicis and I are at the top of the hill. Come knock us off, if you think you're able. There are enough GPU projects with steady work to easily tie us at six, at the least. Fall is approaching (for the northern hemisphere, anyway)...

I'm thinking about being stupid and purchasing an i9 7940X from Silicon Lottery to use exclusively for BOINC crunching. Do you guys think 32GB is enough memory (I run many different projects), or should I spring for 64GB? Memory prices are ridiculous at this time, so I would prefer to purchase...

I have been getting some WU's from them for the last couple of days. Always a pleasant surprise. On a related note, I found this project didn't yet have a thread of its own, so I guess this can be its thread. I also couldn't find it listed in the All-inclusive Projects List; can you add this...

I doubt anyone noticed, since hardly anyone crunches this project, but it is currently down hard. Their website only displays a "project is down" message and a check of their stats at F-DC shows the last points for them were on 4/9. Might be another dead project at this point, or they may...

I'm sorry I missed this when it occurred, but DooKey recently passed 1 Billion BOINC Combined points! Congratulations to you on this awesome achievement!

Looks like I am the first to make a thread on this project... Do I win a prize? :cool: Anyway, I just wanted to warn anyone considering running this project that it currently uses lots of memory - upwards of 1.5GB per WU. Make sure you have plenty of RAM to run this project, or you limit the...

I wanted to make my fellow teammates aware of the excellent free program "BoincTasks," which allows you to remotely monitor and control all of your BOINC crunchers very easily and, IMHO, provides a much better interface than provided by the standard BOINC Client. I have been using this program...

After a long dry spell, I received my first WU from this project in a long time today. This is the first task I've ever received for the subproject Tsinghua Nano Tech Research. Looks like it is a long one: ~4.5 days on my 4.4GHz 4790K.

I have noticed that in the last week or two, CPDN has now begun providing stat updates daily (maybe hourly) to stats sites. Previously, they only provided stats updates sporadically - like once a month, or so.

There are sites that provide combined badges for use in forum signatures, etc. I thought it would be cool to start a thread where everyone could post their combined badges, since I couldn't find a similar thread here. Here are a couple of sites that I know of that do this: Free-DC...

I have recently noticed an issue with the Gerasim app and was wondering if anyone else has noticed this behavior as well? Basically, the app will hang up its thread at 100% utilization when the app gets suspended while the CPU crunches other work. I observe this regularly on all my Windows x64...

What's the consensus for DC'ing? I have kept it active on all my crunchers, but is it better to turn it off? What are the cons to leaving it on, if any? It appears WU's for most projects take ~75% longer with HT on, than they do with it off. Therefore, I believe I would get more WU throughput...

Just in time for the SETI.Germany WOW! event. :D http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=75391

For some reason, I have become addicted to DC'ing, BOINC specifically. Therefore, I have decided to add yet another box to my cruncher farm. I rarely game, so I have also decided to dedicate my GTX780Ti to BOINC. It will be going in my new rig, along with the GTX770 I had dedicated to BOINC...

Hi there. I have been on this board since 2006 with my current username. I just recently joined the [H] Distributed Computing (BOINC) team and would like to see if I could have my current username changed to my BOINC username - RFGuy_KCCO? Is that possible to do? I would really appreciate any...

Hi all! Just wanted to drop in and say hello and introduce myself. I joined the [H]ard|OCP team today because the team I have been in for a while was kind of dead and there was never any communication. I've lurked around on [H] for years and love this site. After seeing how much activity there...
