This one is connected to LHC
This is a test project, to demonstrate the use of the CERN-developed CernVM and BOINCVM systems to harness volunteer cloud computing power for full-fledged LHC event physics simulation on volunteer computers.
It is the first of what is expected to be a series of physics applications running on the LHC@home 2.0 platform. These applications will exploit virtual machine technology, enabling volunteers to contribute to the huge computational task of searching for new fundamental particles at CERN's LHC.
Just in case anyone else (I did) misses this you must follow the instructions on site---
Before Attaching to us you must first have an up to date installed version of the VIRTUAL BOX software package To download Virtual Box if needed see instructions....

We've had a lot of new members with Test4Theory in the last 2 days, most new to the team but also many of them seemingly new to boinc.
Has there been some media coverage of Test4Theory recently ??

Could be this from the LHC site
05.08.2011 11:00 BST -
LHC@home 2.0 launched
We are announcing the start of beta testing of the first second-generation LHC@home project.
It is the first of what is expected to be a series of physics applications running on the LHC@home 2.0 Volunteer Cloud platform.
This is a test project, to demonstrate the use of virtual machines using the CERN-developed CernVM technology inside BOINC systems to perform fully-fledged LHC physics event simulation on volunteer computers.
All LHC@home volunteers are welcome to join the beta testing, which will initially accept about 1000 active helpers. Full information for joining is given at: LHC@home 2.0

It is LHC. You need to download
Oracle VM Virtual Box.
Then you need some WUs. :roll:

Blimey, 38 new members with this today
Welcome all

They have quite a few "Error while computing" tasks between them, like me they probably missed the VBox download required before attaching.

It would be nice to get some WUs. Haven`t got any yet. :angry5:

Does anyone know the Test4Theory invitation code?

You can sign up for an invite code now
http://boinc01.cern.ch/test4theory/foru ... uote]We've recovered from the initial tsunami of volunteer support last month – thanks, everyone, for your enthusiasm and patience! So now Test4Theory is opening gradually to new volunteers using invitation codes.
If you want to test the project, please, sign up for an invite!
If the number of requests remains very high, we won't be able to accommodate everyone, so we'll be picking users randomly each week and sending them invitation codes – an invitation lottery. Thus, if you want to try the project and help debugging it sign up and good luck!
