How many of you are working on D2OL?

[Beerknurd]

It's great to have you aboard Dave. Load up D2OL and crunch away!!!!

I was just kidding. It is good to have you, but you can crunch whatever you want to...............

A somewhat 'out of context' question, but still worthy of posting I think.

Predictor is working on their 'phase 2' of the processing... It appears (if I understand the bioscience correctly) a replacement for D2OL which has no new work being done on it.

What do we do then?

BC, I think that Predictor, being run by Scripps, is a separate project and that D2OL will continue. Is there something I am missing ? Is Scripps associated with the Rothsberg institue ? not poking fun here.. I really don't know. A lot of these projects have affiliations that they don't put on their sites.

Another look at the stats shows we have lost a place to a Team of 1 "FBK" with "computers hidden". Thats probably enough crunch power to overtake vaughan at full throttle.

I was going to say I started running D2OL for the last few days because Predictor & SETI (BOINC) wouldn't give me work units each time I checked. Seems they under estimated the uptake and keep running out of targets. Just tried again and still nothing from SETI, but Predictor gave me another 3. They have added more targets. I'll crunch these and see what happens next. Remember that they are still in alpha stage so it's still a bumpy road.

OFF TOPIC - ClimatePrediction is going to BOINC beta, accepting interest by email - I have sent them my request for an alpha test:

I have requested formal alpha tester status from Predictor as well ... the project leader is leaving town this morning for trip (she says).. we'll see.
I've known about climate prediction for some time... it won't move until Seti is running... (nothing will according to rumor mill)

here is the main page to predictor... there is a lot you can read without signing up... They are associated with a lot of national stuff.. Dr. David Anderson, himself requested help getting this one going from what I was told...... unless you are he..... then i must have both feet surgically removed from my mouth and hand you your gavel back.... LOL

Our Predictor stats are 8th RAC and 8th Total... fairly midline on both, but not for long.... I will need help as our top members have gone inactive if we want any strong presense there.

If we say to forego Predictor, then I will re-prioritize and fire up D2OL to 100%.

*EDIT* --- I am spinning up on predictor and have 700+ pending and solid 200+ per day... that would help, wouldn't it? *END EDIT*

Ah the CASP connection. See what you mean.
No I'm not the good Dr Anderson.
And I didn't intend to sound off-hand.
200 per day is a mighty effort.
I can't make much of a dent in that.
I am on dial-up still (28.8Kbps modem).
D2OL gives me a nice amount of work.
Even though I have raised the #days work in BOINC it still only gives me 3 units so I have to keep connecting to feed it.
Costing too many calls. :oops: Phone bill went up. :!: Wife got pissed off. :twisted:
Will try to get a payrise & get onto Broadband then I can really help you.

As teammate I want you to crunch for D2OL, as a friend just crunch for Predictor, you could be there our top member.

i think we need to have one default project so that newbes will have a clear choice if they are unsure one which project to choose. this default project should not be a project that completed, such as ubero. these projects may be fun but the point of DC is to contribute to science, if the project is not doing anything whats the point.

Which projects do you think are most useful to science?

Sounds like you need the BOINC 3.19 client.... Reset your preferences to 1.5 to 2 days and update BEFORE you upgrade.

The executable, as distributed by SSL is at:

http://www.tumoeng.com/boinc_319.zip the exe is inside.

shut down all BOINC before upgrading... then upgrade. it will auto-benchmark when restarted.

Once you see how many WUs you get the first download, adjust accordingly..... you can stay disconnected while it runs and then 'un-disable network access' when ready to upload.


also do NOT leave the window open or minimized ... hit the X and close the window.. that frees up the Mutex inside and lets its run full speed.



enjoy

So is D2OL still our priority project. Or should we be spitting between Predictor and D2OL????
