Welcome to the Team jiggytom :D
Make yourself at home, and don't hesitate to post if you have any questions. :)
This is my first dip into distributed computing, so its all a bit new to me.
Though the BBC one is up and running (mostly happily) on my AthlonXP 2400+.
Have a pair of trickles so far, its taking a while, but I'll stick with it.
Do have one problem though.
A few days back, I had a Fortran Error, and my model appeared to die.
A restart of my client got it going again, but it also decided to download a brand new model, which I've attempted to abort. It now says 'Aborted by User' in the 'Status' column, but it hasn't been removed from my 'Tasks' list.
Is it possible to remove it?
Sometimes selecting the project and clicking on the update button on the boinc manager removes it. Other times it's more stubborn and you may have to close and restart boinc too.
I also had a problem that Boinc downloaded me another BBC workunit and I had to abort it. You should set BBC to not get new work (on the projects tab, select the project and click on the button "No new tasks"), so that it won't download any more workunits until you think you want/need more.
Hi, I just joined the team here :D .
This is my first time doing this also, so I hope to donate some CPU power to the cause.
Still have to figure out the program some more. Just started it 30 min ago.
Another one has joined the cause! :D
Welcome to the Forums nocturnal1! :)
The BBC project is getting a great support from all around the world. Few projects get this much computing power in such short time. Let's hope the climate predictions show us a good future.
In the meantime have a look around our little place here. We are working on over 40 other projects besides BBC, so if you ever wish to try new projects, we're in almost everything out there. From physics, to astronomy, to biology, to anything...
Don't hesitate to post if you got any questions. :)
Have fun!
hey...look at that...we are #2 already :)
This is actually my first time doing a distributed project! I really hope I can pull this all the way through...5 months seems like alot of time but I think its for a good enough cause!
Lets get our machine rolling people...#1 here we come!
hello, new here but i have joined ur team! got 2 amd's running :)
1 amd athlon xp 2800+ and a 3200+ 64
should go down well
just thought i would share it with you
Welcome to both of you. You've joined a formidable team. We're starting to go places.
Welcome to the Team markdeacon :D
If this is your first try in Distributed Computing, you're in for a ride with the BBC project! :cool:
Post if you got any questions about boinc/distributed computing/AMD/Intel/BBC project/other projects/... basically, whatever! Our small group of users here is always ready to help.
We sure appreciate all the effort everyone is doing! :) The BBC project is gonna give alot of work to everyone. It will be a stress test not just to the machines, but to their owners as well, because staying 4+ months running the same project is something few people have the patience to. (I know I haven't... :roll: I'm time-sharing it with Leiden, Ralph and Pirates at the moment.)
And by the way... any Intel users out there?? If you're feeling discriminated because there's no Intel Users team for you, then don't! We welcome you here in our little place too. :) Intels are also very good processors. (Especially on maths projects!)
Ouch..I just got back from class today...and I noticed i got knocked back to zero percent!!!!!! I was about 50 hours of computing (4 percent) into the project....why did this happen? On the results page it says client error! I don't wanna start from the begining!!!!!
