New Projects

Doable as a sticky I'm sure.

Sync(Boinc Projects.thread(this), Stats.thread('new projects');

[Bok]

The stats pages all have links to the projects.. perhaps a small 'home' icon could be placed on each row on the index page which links to the project home ?

[gopher_yarrowzoo]

I suppose that's possible a little icon all depends on the size of it really, hmm
dang just checked to see if there was a web / wingdings "character" we could use nope...

I'm running it on one machine..

No xml is being exported so it can't be added yet..... but I'm watching it along with a few others.

Goldbach is just sending out useless UpperCase WUs en masse, to keep such a destructive project in the stats is imho a bad sign.

It's OK for projects to do some initial testing "in the wild" with UpperCase, but after a few thousand, at most for about 1000 credits, it's just wilful stealing from other projects and it's obvious that the project is just a scam.
Even BelgianBeer needed only ~650 credits to get it all running smooth and rightfully stopped than because nothing useful was developed. Goldbach has so far crunched nearly 600.000 of the useless stuff, 1000x of what was needed by the total amateurs of BelgianBeer.

IMHO a stats page that includes such scam-projects isn't a good stats page.
You can argue whether the science behind some projects is something worthwhile (imho prime search isn't worth a single CPU-second), but at least they are doing science, Goldbach is doing nothing!

[Bok]

I agree they are doing useless work, which is why I have it attached to one machine with a low resource share and that's exactly how it should be in my opinion. Let the users decide what they want to run, they can make their own decisions after all - who are you or we to 'police' this. My policy is to display the stats not pick and choose which ones I feel are correct and should be included. I do not condone an 'overseer' approach. If we start down that path, then where does it end... ? Should we dilute the ridiculous amounts of credits that MilkyWay gave out ? Cosmology? Even Primegrid manual give out pretty high credits.. No, I'm not going down that path, I much prefer to let users decide on their own.

Isn't that very nice coming over here and telling us we have a 'bad' stats page.

Hello and thanks for your interest on Neurona@Home.

Please use the code

<Code removed by Bok - PM myself or Nebojsa if you want it, I just did not want it public for anyone at all as I know they do want to limit membership somewhat while it's still beta>

to subscribe to the project, and feel free to give the code to anyone of your team if they want to join too.

What type of computer do I need

[NEBOJSA]

Lauren I think that you need win64 and at least 4gb of memory.

Well I guess that leaves me out in the rian

The Van Der Waerden Numbers project (vdwnumbers.org) aims to find better lower bounds for these numbers. The sequence of colors BRRBBRRB (where B is blue and R is red) does not have an evenly spaced subsequence of length 3 that are the same color. However, if you add a B to the end, you get BRRBBRRBB, which has the same color blue in positions 1,5, and 9 which are evenly spaced 4 apart. If you add an R to the end, you get BRRBBRRBR, which has R at position 3, 6, and 9. In fact, with only two colors, there is no sequence of length 9 of Bs and Rs that does not have a subsequence of 3 evenly spaced of the same color. Van der Waerden's Theorem states that for any number of colors r and length k, a long enough sequence always has an evenly spaced subsequence of the same color. The smallest length guaranteed to have an evenly spaced subsequence is called the Van Der Waerden Number and is written W(k,r). For example, W(3,2)=9. This project aims to find better lower bounds for Van Der Waerden Numbers by finding sequences like BRRBBRRB using large prime numbers with special properties.

And it looks like stats are exported. Added.

[hmonroe]

Bok, will it create a problem if we announce the site with URL http://123numbers.org instead of http://vdwnumbers.org/vdwnumbers?

[Bok]

Not for me, I'd just need to change over the links.

But I know from past experience it will be a bit of a pain at your project to switch it over. There will be issues, but it's been worked through at other projects in the past.

Some of the stat page links work but give errors in the BOINC log . But I forget what ones they are
You would think the BOINC website would have a more complete list posted
The Free-DC stat index gives a better list then BOINC does

I couldn't find a thread for the GPUGrid@Home project. So I hope Bok or someone will start one.

I have put 4 260 GTX's on GPUGrid to try and move Free-DC above the 9000 point level in the DC Vault. I am hoping that people with available Nvidia GPUs will help the team move up a position or two.

I'm hoping we can get all DC Vault projects above the 9,000 point level.

Sorry, all of mine are commited to stomping Laurenu2 on Milkyway in a few days. You should also know that GPUgrid has problems with the GTX260s (at least the last time I checked) and credit is lower than Collatz or Milkyway.

How can you stomp me when your ahead of me thats a oxymoron

How can you stomp me when your ahead of me thats a oxymoron

I thought you were going to pass me before I finished my 100 Mil on Collatz. Or did I miss something?

Look under http://www.free-dc.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=137 PS3Grid/GPUGrid. The project originally ran on Playstation 3 running Linux; that's how I got my first 1.9 million on it. Then, they added support for CUDA cards; eventually they dropped the PS3 support.
