Join BAUT teams for BOINC(Einstein-,SETI-,LHC-,...) - Page 14

The number of BOINC-projects to choose from has been rapidly increasing.

On several of the ones I picked I can't join BAUT-team because the team isn't registered there.
It turns out that there is now an easy fix for that problem.
The BOINC-wide teams: A 'BOINC-wide team' are teams that exist on all BOINC projects, present and future, with an identical name and founder email address.

So, azazul... there are credits going to waste.

Thanks for bringing the BOINC-wide teams to my attention. I have created the BOINC-wide BAUT team. I am not sure how long it will take for it to be added to all of the projects, or how long before everyone's accounts are added to the team.

BAUT-team is popping up all over the place.
But some projects seem to be non-compliant.
I'll drop them a hint.

Re adding ones account to the team: I think that that still has to be done separately for every project.

Worst thing is that BOINC is making the comp. running slow and sometimes i expirences that the comp. freezes. I changed from IE to Mozilla, and it helped a lot. But maybe BOINC had something to do with it aswell.

I joined BAUT for S@H and LHC@H, you guys have me crunching full time until Folding@Home releases its GPU client, after that I will give BAUT every SAT/SUN.

Folding@home?

Kinda like rosetta.

Oh yeah, F@H released its nVidia GPU client and it's fast, doesn't even cook my video card, sits right at 58-59c.

Thanks.

Too bad there aren't more physics projects, that's what i'm looking for.

drainbread · #**399** (**permalink**) 02-August-2008, 10:35 PM

Yeah, the LHC project is the one I really want to donate cycles to, but ET and proteins are a good "fix" for now.

Crunching my first Orbit@home WU.
145+ hours runtime...

Sporally · #**401** (**permalink**) 18-August-2008, 04:29 AM

Really? I would love to do orbit@home WUs, but my comp. is generaally running bad with BOINC installed, so it is not installed right now unfortunately.

I just finished it. Took 280 hours to complete...
Good news from Orbit@home:

The Minor Planet Center has released today the data relative to the sky coverage of many of the NEOs surveys. This is very good news, as we get one step closer to applying the results of our research to real telescopes.

What are your problems with running BOINC?

Sporally · #**403** (**permalink**) 08-September-2008, 10:43 PM

I know BOINC is suppose to utilize the part of the comp. that isn't being used. When i run it on my laptop it makes a lot of noise and i doubt that it always shuts down when i need the comp's. processor. But the noise is really irritating from a laptop like mine. It is a pretty old one and the comp. i use the most. Do you think this could be a problem with the exhaust of my laptop or does anyone else expierence a great noise when the processor is running at full speed constantly?

Is it the fan coming on? That was common for me back when I ran SETI@Home. A busy processor is a warm processor, and warm processors need cooling. If your ventilation path is inefficient or blocked, cooling isn't happening like it needs to.

I take my laptop outdoors several times a year and blow out the intakes and outputs and it's amazing the amount of dust that flies into the air. Fan always runs less after that. Someday I should disassemble and thoroughly clean it -- or train a cockroach to go in and clean with a tiny feather duster.

Came here mainly to point to non-astronomy BOINC project described in BAUT Forum topic QCN - Quake Catcher Network (BOINC).

Thats the CPU/Graphics Fan coming on.
On laptops that nothing unusual. My FSC notebook gets really loud when running DC-Projects. Which is why I do not run these on it. On my Dell it gets not too loud.

BOINC indeed does only use the not used part of CPU cycles. But these to 100%. So, usually, the running project is always using CPU time.
I have never experienced or heard of any problems with BOINC slowing other programs with the only exceptions that some projects use a decent share of your RAM.

OK, i guess i will only use my desktop for it then. At least it has got a good exhaust. And then i see RAM is another factor here - how much RAM does it use as far as you know?

The RAM usage depends on the running project.
Most Projects use about 30-100MB per process.
But some, like Magnetism@home like to claim up to 750MB peak per process.
But this is rather unusual.

Could you give an estimate on the different astronomy- / physics-projects like Einstein@home, Seti@home, LHC@home, aso.?

What is the Magnetism@home-project? That sounds interesting, but must be a pretty new one since it wasn't available when i was running BOINC projects intensely.
