Is there something you can do if you DON'T want it on every core?
Project Name: Pi Segment
Projcet's Home Website: http://pisegment.vicp.net/index.aspx
From the Pi Segment website:
To download the latest client please visit: http://pisegment.vicp.net/project/projectpart.aspxWhat is the purpose of this project?
The main purpose of Pi Segment is to propagandize distributed computing in China and to try to encourage making full use of computational resources on personal computers. China has started researches in distributed computing long before and has obtained some achievement, for example the China Grid. But so far, there isn't any formal distributed projects for the public to join in. Obviously, that's really a waste of computational resources. We hope that the public would get to know about and join in distributed computing, through the propaganda of this project.
What is Pi Segment?
Pi Segment is a distributed computing project held by a university student. It aims to propagandize distributed computing, encourage people to make full use of their computational power and challenge the world record of calculating Pi. There are many popular distributed computing projects in other countries, but there's none in China. We hope that Pi Segment can change this situation. For more information, please visit the Introduction page of the project.
The client is very simple to work with, much like the Seventeen or Bust program. The client has built-in support for multiple CPU detection so you don't have to install X amount of copies to have one for every CPU. Registration is done through the client and then you can goto the main website and login then join a team.
If anyone needs any further help (it's pretty much just install->register->run) then please feel free to ask!
Happy Crunching!

Hello guys!
I'm the founder of this project. Thank you for testing it!
Since we are in BETA test section, any suggestion is appreciated.
Just click the "Stop" button in the corresponding CPU pageOriginally Posted by jasong
Thanks for stopping by.
I've been meaning to mail you today regarding the stats, just got a little busy...
What I need ideally is some file which holds the following.
name, team, score, downloads, uploads, etc etc
it can be in xml,csv,txt or whatever...
I'll try and email in the morning if I get time (got a flight to catch to Chicago at lunchtime)

ya, I'm planing to do that.Originally Posted by Bok
But since I have a little knowledge in XML, I may need some time to learn it.
Could you give me some examples on other projects?
Thank you!
Sure, take a look at the file SeventeenorBust releases for an example.
here
That is in a format say where it is user that has
user,$name,$nick,$signup,$teamid,$totaltests,$lastdaytests,$pendingtests,$totalwork,$lastdaywork,$fi rstassign,$lastreport
Probably overkill too, so all I would need is
userid,name,team,download,upload,etc etc in this raw form, then I can parse it very easily and generate all of the user and team stats from that..if you wanted to do teamstats with their totals within this file as Sob have done, I can use that otherwise I;d just calculate them from the sum of the users scores.

@JUST
I saw your notice about changing things for the client. As this is super easy to do and whatnot I suggest you release a new client version (maybe 1.0.6.1) that has the modifications done already so all you have to do is post on the main site "Having trouble downloading and uploading work? Get the new client version!"
That will ensure that everyone knows that they need to upgrade (for the files to be right) and you won't get bombarded by "What the hell happened to PiSeg!?!?!"

I have seen that. It's easy.Originally Posted by Bok
I will seperate individual stats, team stats and region stats into three files because they have different properties and I think it will be easier for you to parse it.
I have to take some examinations recently. So I will do that two days later.
ya, you are right. I will follow your way next time.Originally Posted by CaptainMooseInc
Thank you!
P.S. I updated the website and now you can merge your duplicate devices in "My Devices" page.
Bok, have you recceived my email?Originally Posted by Bok
It has URL for XML data.
I haven't. I'll PM you here with an alternate email address.

I don't know if there's something quirky about my setup, but when I attempted to install PiSegment, I knew I'd crunched it previously, but I didn't know the password. I decided to guess, which was a really, REALLY bad idea.
Word of advice: If you don't get the username and password right on the first try, it's probably best to wipe the installation and start over. The other settings seem to be okay, but the username and password settings should be messed with as little as possible. Not a big deal if you're aware of the problem, but if you're not it can be VERY frustrating.
