UK BOINC Team Forum

Hi all,

And yet another new project (and thanks to Mikee for the heads-up):

http://boincai05.cern.ch/CMS-dev/index.php

This project is PRE-BETA, so very much a "testing" project, and the admins would like feedback (on their message boards) on your experience of crunching some WU's. There could be some errors and periods when WU's are not available...so be warned.

This project also requires VirtualBox and the Extension Pack, so use with the relevant BOINC download.

Once again, an invitation code is required so PM me and I'll let you know.

regards
Tim

...and a 547Mb BOINC download and (on my system) 1.5Gb virtual disc image file! So make sure you have the room to fit!

Just installed it and it's running (2 minutes to do 0.1%) so at current rate it'll take 33 hours to do 1 WU! Hope there's lots of checkpoints as this PC goes off at night!

Yup - it's apparently quite memory and network intensive, so give it a short blast and see what happens.

I can't run VB on my main PC, as I don't have enough memory to really make it fly.
