Virtual Prairie - INACTIVE

Post by UBT - The Prof.... »

Not sure if this is the place to put this link, or if its been posted else where before, but this project is available through Bam if anyone is interested. Link is http://vcsc.cs.uh.edu/virtual-prairie/
Seems to be plenty of wu's, though as they are short not a lot of credit. No progress shown, either waiting, running or complete, but had no probs. with the ones I've tried.

Having done a little checking, we do have a team for this project, but only 8 peeps running it atm.  :( If any one has a spare chip, try giving it a whirl, you never know, you might just like it  :!:

Anyone object if I become cheerleader for this, I seem to be doing it already anyway :!:  :?:  If no one objects, I'll ask he who shall be obeyed if its OK.

Have just put this on one core and everything seems to be running ok so far.

First WU completed in under 5 minutes and appears to have uploaded ok.

Will see how it goes.

S'pose that depends how you look in a short skirt and pom poms  :D

EDIT: After an ethusiastic start it all appears to have gone a little bit pear-shaped now as I am unable to download any more WU's  :cry:

I have posted about it on the Virtual Prairie message boards and will wait to see what happens
