Project Neuron

[NeoGen]

http://neuron.mine.nu/neuron/

This project aims to provide a trial BOINC environment in which a set of dummy applications will run. The purpose of this being to record, observe and understand BOINC activity and data with a view to developing metrics that will establish or otherwise the quality/reliability/dependability of particular BOINC projects. A central reference point will be developed and updated automatically to which users can refer. User feedback may also be permitted at this reference point.

I think it's a kind of project to study boinc, somewhat like XtremLab, but not just around the machines resources.

Account creation is enabled for now, and our team has been set up:
http://neuron.mine.nu/neuron/team_display.php?teamid=44

This project was closed alpha for quite a while, so we're now trying to catch up on the lost time against other teams who got in earlier.

Join us quickly before account creation closes again!

I joined this one, luckily. The account creation is closed again now though.

looks like another one of those things that allows someone to learn something about boinc with everyone else providing electricity/clients/????

[NeoGen]

If that something means boinc projects getting more efficient I'm on it.

But alas, I think for that what would be needed would be some hardcore c++ programmers that could look into the projects source code and apply SSE/SSE2/etc instructions, much like askof did on Einstein. That would be great.

There is always someone who benefits on your Boinc computer time.
But if the Team is present in the project you can give it a test period.

I was lycky too get in . :D
The credit output is god at this stage. :D

Have fun and try too make the team reach the top

Hey B Johansson. Nice job taking over my 1st spot. :P

I have one WU thats been crunching for over 14hrs @ 67% done. No way I'm restarting my computer. :twisted:

EDIT:

September 24, 2006
Project Stage remains Pre Alpha. A small error has led to a big problem. Some WUs appear to be taking far longer than expected. This is a mistake. If you see anything taking longer than 120 minutes then that WU is probably faulty and should be aborted. This 120 mins in based upon a Windows XP 2.8 Non HT Intel. A large number of WUs have been cancelled to avoid them going out. 09:49 GMT

Damnit! :cry:

[NeoGen]

But I think they still award credits for those long running workunits

sorry gamer007

Well.. I cancelled it anyway.

I have a problem How can a "small error" lead to a big problem? It seems to me that the result of any error determines the severity of the error. Therefore big problem = big error.
