But unlike minecraft@home, PrimeGrid will run down to Fermi GPUs (400 series)

Thanks so much for your work boysanic it is appreciated.

My tasks have all run to 100% and then sit there awhile before they error out, but they do run, it seems to be a problem when the job finalizes and then reports.

Hey boysanic. If you need help on how to implement badges maybe you could reach out to some admin of another project such as Primegrid. They should know how to do that.

Hi Steve,

I visited their website yesterday but it was unclear to me how to export.

Can you point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to do it :)

Yup mine too, this is what I get in the STderr file:

<core_client_version>8.0.4</core_client_version>
<![CDATA[
<message>
WU download error: couldn't get input files:
<file_xfer_error>

<error_code>-224 (permanent HTTP error)</error_code>
<error_message>permanent HTTP error</error_message>
</file_xfer_error>
</message>
]]>

I too have the same errors under Windows 11 in all 91 wu that BOINC 8.0.4 has downloaded.

Unfortunately, all 1.04 tasks are erroring out on my Linux virtual machines.

Hi everyone,

I have updated future workunits for this project to award 50,000 credits per task.
Any that are currently running will remain at 2500 to avoid inconsistency issues with existing completed tasks or in progress tasks.
Please let me know if you notice any issues.

Thanks!

Other projects have no issues adjusting credits per task when new types of work are released. Doesn't cause any issues with the projects science results.

Doesn't hurt to ask 😀

C'mon Mikey. Show what you got (like I am :) )

A halfway reasonable loan should be possible without any problems.

Same seg fault in Linux as shown already.

Windows 10 access violations
-1073741819 (0xC0000005) STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION

I have created a comparison list with the credits achieved per second by my graphics card. Compared to even the currently worst project, it is still 50% lower.

Numberfield get 1.02 Cr/sec
Amicable get 97,6 Cr/sec
Einstein get 18,01 Cr/sec
GPUGrid get 32,4 uo to 229 Cr/sec
SRBase get 88,1 Cr/sec
Gerasim get 36,9 Cr/sec
Private GFN Server get 7,6 Cr/sec

Here is what you give us: 0,434 Cr/sec

Hi Folks!



Beyond this project, we may have one other lined up (much smaller in scope than this 17.1 billion workunit project) and an overall platform upgrade that I've slowly been widdling away at these last few months as I find time.

The Science Commons Initiative and the Microgrid Working Group are looking for a software engineer with a love of science and the desire to connect scientists with the compute resources they need!

You will need an understanding of Python and PHP (any c++ experience is definitely a plus), and loose familiarity with or a willingness to learn a bit of Blender.

In short, The SCI's Micgrogrid Working Group is developing a platform designed to connect researchers with compute needs to the distributed computing network BOINC. We will be interacting with researchers, discussing their needs, and designing and developing their computing applications that will run on the Microgrid platform.

Our MVP will be two applications that run on the BOINC infrastructure.

1. A prime number discovery application
2. A video/gfx rendering application

The SCI is a non-profit organization with limited funding, but we have set aside a small budget to get the Microgrid project off the ground.

If we successfully launch our MVP and a few subsequent applications, the project has the potential to turn into a fairly large OSS endeavor with long term positions available.

For science!

Why is there no new work for Windows?

Hi Neil, unexpected, but very nice to have a badge. One more for my collection.
Very cool.

Hey Mikey! I see we've both cut back on our crunching a bit.

It should be pretty simple to come up with an icon like badge without going crazy.

You have to be crazy to run BOINC. So that's checked.
Hi Mikey, all those familiar faces... ;-)
