KWSN Orbiting Fortress

LanDroid · Posted: Mon Dec 27, 2010 8:57 am Post subject: PotM January - Planning

Here's the list so far - I deleted Eon and added Edges. What about Cosmology? Doesn't look like Orbit is ready yet - 6 WU's in progress and 0 to send out. Anything else to add or delete? Need to get this going quickly...

ABC
Climate
Einstein
Edges
Majestic 12
Malaria
Milky Way
Muon 1
Prime Sierpinski Problem / Non-Boinc
Rosetta
uFluids
Vacation / No PotM

How about RNA World.

Its in Beta stages ATM. However we probably have a chance to fly up into Numero Uno position from 81st within about 6 days Razz

Curerntly the leading team Planet 3DNow! have 22.6 mill shrubs and are munching up about 385k per day.

What about Docking@Home and QMC@Home?

Well I'm trying to have KWSN crunch all worthy projects as PotM at some point, we have already done Docking and QMC. We could open it back up to all projects - not sure there's as much excitement with the remaining projects as there is with others...

Although RNA World is beta and not in the DC Vault, it might be worth trying - looks like they have lots of work available and phenomenal stompage.

RNA World is a blast from the past.

Climate is only updating stats a couple of times a week at the mo (though that may be an Xmas related thing).

uFluids seems to have just about given up the ghost, very limited WU availability (see their forum).

I ran a bit of RNAWorld a couple of months back, but gave up because of the large (50%-ish) error rate.

We could also consider RSA Lattice Sieving, distributedDataMining, sudoku@vtaiwan and VirtualPrairie (this one has work at the moment, but when that runs out they take a few months off to grow some plants and check their model).

I see only one recent complaint about errors in RNA World in their forums. However looks like they have a few WU's that take 1K hours and folks complain they can't meet the deadline. Hmmm 6 weeks 24/7 for a WU?

uFluids web site is down so can't check that now.

Virtual Prairie had work a few days ago, but none now? There's an email subscription to be notified when work is available. Doesn't look steady enough to support PotM.

Should we add Eon to the list? I see one complaint in our forum...

OK here's a revised list, I'll research it a little more and post the ballot in the morning...

ABC
Climate
Distributed Data Mining
Einstein
Edges
Majestic 12
Malaria
Milky Way
Muon 1
Prime Sierpinski Problem / Non-Boinc
RSA Lattice Sieving
Rosetta
Sudoku@vtaiwan
Vacation / No PotM

Climate has a similar situation with long WU's. Got 2 ATM that I am trying to find the time to crunch. Both are 1250 hrs plus. Errk.

As I understand it we can set BOINC to stop big WU's from getting onto our systems. Yet to find the buttons for that

Oops - a bit of brain-fade there (not uncommon these days Embarassed

).

It was PrimaBoinca that I gave up because of errors; RNAWorld was for it's low scoring.

Sorry, LanDroid, hope you didn't spend too long forum-trawling.
