Hello all BOINC´er, The Server on LHC is still down. Do anyone know more about this Problem?? TEAMLESS?? Drop by ours and have a look Boincsynergy |

Big back log of pendings though. Account frozen... |

Hi All, You might want to read the notice posted on the LHC home page. LHC will be shutting down sometime mid November until late December or early 2005 to upgrade to a Advanced Server System. They have decided to make Boinc a permanent Part Of CERN. So work will probably be slowing down here real soon. Reagrds, Rocky www.boincsynergy.com |

here's the status report posted on LHC (mirrored here in case their site goes down) http://lhcathome.cern.ch/announcement1.html _____________________________________________________________ STATUS REPORT FOR THE USERS OF LHC@home November 1, 2004 Since mid-August, when LHC@home opened at CERN, it has passed from an alpha test phase (thanks to about 30 experienced BOINC users), through a beta test with 2000 users during September, up to a pilot production deployment with a present limit of 6000 registered users and about 7500 active computers. The CERN team, without any previous BOINC experience, has learned a lot during this time. Never has so much CPU power been available to support accelerator beam tracking studies. New ground has already been broken in understanding both the stability patterns of the LHC machine as well as some subtle numerical effects of running on a whole variety of hardware and operating systems. Around 500,000 jobs have been successfully run so far. However, the infrastructure for supporting all this, particularly our job management system and the analysis of work submitted and returned, has been strained to the limit. If you like, we are victims of your success! The very positive results of what was initially an experiment (and part of the CERN 50th anniversary celebrations) have impressed many people here. So the decision has been taken to make BOINC a more permanent facility at CERN. For this to occur, we will soon need a pause to install a modern hi-tech server system (replacing our two old borrowed server machines). We will redesign our job management system and fix problems causing small numerical differences and some strange runtime errors. A new and improved optical model of the LHC accelerator is also being prepared. The most likely timescale for this shutdown will be from mid or late November, coming up again with the improved system in December or early 2005. This seems a good time to thank the team that has created and staffed LHC@home. Most are students who have been passing time at CERN as part of their studies elsewhere. Some contributed time over months and others for a few weeks, but all were essential to the project. Sadly, almost all have left to return to their universities, or soon will. They are listed in rough chronological order of their coming to help us: Jakob Pedersen ("Girlieman") - University of Copenhagen Christian Soettrup ("Chrulle") - University of Copenhagen Karl Chen (lent by SETI@home) - UC Berkeley Kalle Happonen - Helsinki Institute of Physics Markku Degerholm - Helsinki Institute of Physics Jasenko Zivanov - University of Basel >>> IDEA |
