BOINC Pentathlon 2019

Go to solution Solved by jakkuh_t,

Seems like the easiest way for most people to help out is in the Marathon.

 

This involves downloading BOINC, selecting the "World Community Grid" project, and then selecting the sub-project "OpenZIKA".

 

1. Download + Install BOINC (https://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php) 

2. Open BOINC and click "Add Project"

3. Select the "World Community Grid" project, and then click on their website url. (https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/discover.action)

4. On their Website, click "Join Now" at the top left or right depending. Enter your information and Register.

5. Once presented with the Sub project selection, choose "OpenZIKA" and click next. It will download a program, but you don't need it.

 

6. Go back to the BOINC app and click "Next >". Login with the World Community Grid account that you just signed up for.

 

Your BOINC app will now benchmark your system, and then start running. 

 

BUT, you still need to set your team to the LTT forum one.

 

7. Navigate to the team selection page, and login if you aren't already (https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ms/team/viewMyTeam.do)

8. Type in "LinusTechTips" in the "Contains:" field.

9. Click on the "LinusTechTips_Team" result that shows up. Once the page loads click "Join Team".

 

You will now be BOINCing for the LTT team :D

 

This is the easiest way to help out the cause, but there are more beneficial / advanced ways to do so if you're interested. Refer to the OP for more information.

 

Message @Ben Quigley if you need assistance.

Wanted to help out, so i put my 2 servers on the OpenZIKA thing. Dunno if its still relevant, haven't been into BOINC in a LONG time. Don't know the lingo either :P.

 

anyway, its a Xeon E5-2620v4 and an AMD FX8350. I hope they're useful, otherwise ill just shut the BOINC down :P

 

Funny thing with the worldcommunitygrid though, i couldn't sign up with my name hehe, hell is not allowed in the name ?

I have no signature

Everything helps and we are extremely close to the 2 teams above us in the marathon, they've also noticed we started to catch and increased their output so we need absolutely everything we can get.

I tossed in most of my hardware towards Zika a couple of days ago and started Einstein on one machine earlier. My main machine with my Vega 56 didn't like Einstein in Linux though, which is where on spend most of my time.

 

Ryzen 1600 in my main machine going to Zika.

 

Ryzen 2400G in an off machine also going towards Zika.

 

i7 6700 with some spare GPUs going to Zika and Einstein. AMD RX480 and Nvidia GTX 750ti.

 

edit:

Also got an old Android phone and my current Android phone going to Zika too.

Looks like L'Alliance Francophone have shifted resources to bunker the sprint

They are down 250k hourly output from last update, seems like our best chance to pass them now.

Please note that some of the applications on LHC@home requre Virtual Box to be installed.

At least it says "some" so hopefully there's enough work that doesn't require it.

 

Edit: I'll try to pre-test somewhere.

Running it now on my gaming desktop, no virtualbox. Not sure how we are going to know which is the best project task to run, anyone know?

 

Edit:

Also LHC is having some technical issues and will be fixed in a few hours, don't worry if you get on tasks atm

Did i quick search, there seems to be a lot of problems with running virtualbox on a machine that's already running hyper-v. So i wouldn't be able to have my servers join that, as they both run hyper-v.

Sprint has been announced. What's the plan?

I've just got home, we have a decision to make, keep trying to grind in the marathon or make a push for sprint. Personally I think we will get more overall points out of sprint then gaining 1-2 places in the marathon.
