XtremLab is back!

[NeoGen]

After much work, and getting a new server, the XtremLab team is back on track! :D

http://xw01.lri.fr:4320/

XtremLab is a project using the Boinc platform. Contrary to other projects, we do not use grid for computations about physics, mathematics or biology: we study the grid technology itself. We perform performances analysis in order to find how to improve performances of all others projects.

(Don't expect a screensaver for it... :P)

You can attach through the boinc wizards, but if your nostalgic the menus are on the top right corner of the site. (Took me a little bit to spot them )

After registering, join our Team here:

Notes about the project:
Everything is back to zero again, so users of the first XtremLab run have to create new accounts once more.
The project is Linux only for now, but other versions are promised for soon.
The project takes almost no cpu. Workunits live on your system for about 10 minutes, during which time they only poll the machine for available resources every 10 seconds.

Have fun Linux members! :D

Dang.. still linux users? Oh well, might as well reserve an account for myself.

[NeoGen]

Say... anyone runs Linux around here? I'm feeling kinda lonely... :P

[NeoGen]

Can anyone here with a Linux box cover for me?

I am running it off a virtual machine, and that takes alot of RAM. I'm shutting it down because I'm gonna need all the RAM I got and the one I don't too!

[Brucifer]

My gut feeling is pi$$ on them................ I ran up a ton of points and put a ton of system time on the project. Then they jerk everything around and expect people to go back after that??? Running these boxes takes a lot of juice and it's quite rather irking to have them be so cavalier about other people's gift to them.


No thanks, I'll just stay with PSP.

[Brucifer]

Ah what the heck.............. while I'm on it, this is another of the reasons why I'm not doing squat on the boinc stuff anymore. Every Tom Dick and Harry outfit comes along and puts up a boinc project. No work, beta or alpha doesn't pan out, no resources behind them and they can't run backups worth a hoot, and the list goes on. And throw on top of it new boinc versions that come along faster than a 12 month old baby gets it's diapers changed. :mad:

Hi

Brucifer, you said it!

It is too bad that every new project use Boinc platforms. It was better before Boinc was launched. Will Boinc take dead of our interest for Distributed Computing?

I know, many are forced to run this platform even if they dislike it.
The Grid platform is the best.


Lagu :evil:

[NeoGen]

Yep, that's the price of open-source freedom. :roll:

[drezha]

I love the BOINC platform.

Though from now on I'm sticking to the more developed projects. :roll:

Saying that I'm nearly 100% QMC@Home ATM

I said it before, I'll say it again, I'm anti-boinc too. Not even the stats are stable. How many times have I shown that people LOSE points on boinc without any explanation.
