Requests for invitation codes are trickling in, about two per day on average. Could new users please post a brief account of their first task(s) here so that we can check for problems in starting up?

Hi, Completed my first 2 tasks yesterday without a problem and got two more due to complete later this afternoon. Using the 7.5.1 Boinc client as Beauty has large files but files received for current CMS-dev tasks are only about 1.4Gb. All good so far :) ID: 387 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I looked inside the VM (as learned by vLHC) and it is saying something like: Begin processing the 6th record. Run 1, Event 906, ... So, I think all is running as it should ?

Cheers, Yeti Yeti....I thought you were already here.......must have just been from seeing you over at Atlas at the same time as I was stopping by here. Well I know you have plenty of cores especially right now with no Atlas tasks. ID: 420 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Cheers, Yeti Well I know you have plenty of cores especially right now with no Atlas tasks. Am I correct that this CMS is just doing test work and not "real" project work? I would add more cores if I knew we were working on the latter. Thanks! ID: 421 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Yes it is basically an alpha type development project and they are similar to the vLHC tasks of 24 hours each and one task per hosts (and credits) I just use my free cores on my quads and 8-core for these and they run with no problems.

Last modified: 8 Apr 2018, 16:24:13 UTC I didn't get any task since signing up for the LHCathome-dev project. Any explanation available ? Go to your account and in the Preferences set it to receive ATLAS tasks and then you will get tasks and the huge .vdi at the same time. (I guess I should add that Atlas tasks take 4GB of Ram at least to run a task and tend to use close to all 8 that you have on the one pc and these are multi-core) From all my thousands of tests I would not run these with less than 8GB ram and a fairly fast ISP ....and your Android will not work here at all.
