BOINC : alife@home

Post by maquejp »

Hello,

Do you plan to add this project also in the all-in-one stats?

Hi,

This is one of the projects that I have my eye on and that I am currently crunching for.

At this time XML stats are not available. These are needed by my services.

When they are available, I will add the project to my site.

Heh, let's keep this project a secret for a while longer, 'kay? For once my team is further ahead than the Knights Who Say Ni!

Thank you for the information!

And what about Lattice@Home?

Hmmm... since the page you give can't be accessed through the Lattice Project's normal home page, I think you've stumbled onto the development version of their soon-to-be-public BOINC site. You may want to keep this under your hat.

[EDIT: Of course, that didn't stop me from getting an account and creating my team! Now I'm ahead of both the Knights and PC FORMAT! ;) ]

Yes, this is also beeing watched.

I notice they now provide stats.

Raven, in response to you mentioning MundayWeb and BURP on the Lattice message boards, I only included BURP stats after I noticed the project was public.

I have posted a message on their forums about publicising their stats. I await their answer.

As with Alife, Neil, Lattice is a pre-Alpha project. Yep, they still take on Alpha testers, but don't expect too much credit in return. Lattice doesn't do checkpointing for units, so each time you reboot or exit BOINC, you lose your progress.

But you can enter on their forums yourself. As far as I know the account creation is still open.

Account created...

However, I can't attach to the project.

I am using version 4.25.

Any ideas??

I put a query on the Lattice Q&A board. Apparently, BOINC client 4.30 is the minimum required for it.

Since I have only just gotten to 4.25, and I don't feel onfident enough about the development versions, I'm not attaching to the project yet either.

[EDIT: Also double check that you're using the right URL. It's this one:

Ah... I thought it might be the version of my BOINC client.

Oh well!

Do know that if you update to at least 4.30, that Lattice doesn't do checkpointing. So read their mainpage well, you do need to keep all applications in the memory (page file), not reboot etc. while crunching the Lattice files.

It doesn't matter much for their CNS files, as they are short, but the MDIV files take up to 40 hours on a single crunching platform!
