<p>Version 0.5</p>
<p>You now have two choices of how to choose which projects to display:</p>
<p>1) if you use the no setting on the parameters, you choose not to display those
projects, but any new projects added to the script will automatically be displayed
as well as the current ones you left displayable<br>
2) if you use a yes setting on the parameters, you isplay only those projects
selected - any new projects added to the script will remain hidden</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<p>&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.esea.dk/esea/boincschedulers.php&quot;&gt; will
still display all projects supported - like this:</p>
<p><img src="http://www.esea.dk/esea/boincschedulers.php"></p>
<p>&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.esea.dk/esea/boincschedulers.php?pred=no&amp;ein=no&quot;&gt;
will de-select predictor and einstein but display all other supported projects,
including future projects</p>
<p><img src="http://www.esea.dk/esea/boincschedulers.php?pred=no&amp;ein=no"></p>
<p>&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.esea.dk/esea/boincschedulers.php?pred=yes&amp;ein=yes&quot;&gt;
will display only predictor and einstein, and even if new projects are added
they will not show up</p>
<p><img src="http://www.esea.dk/esea/boincschedulers.php?pred=yes&amp;ein=yes"></p>
<p>As you can see, there's a small issue with the size, but I'll work on that.</p>
<p>Another new feature is the ability to change the background color. Add the
parameter backcolor and choose a color name from <a href="http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/wdnut/excerpt/color_names.html">O'Reilly's
list</a> (I'm adding all colors alphabetically, last one this minute is cyan,
but I'll continue to add colors 'till they're all there right after posting
this).</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<p>&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.esea.dk/esea/boincschedulers.php?pred=yes&amp;ein=yes&amp;backcolor=aquamarine&quot;&gt;</p>
<p><img src="http://www.esea.dk/esea/boincschedulers.php?pred=yes&amp;ein=yes&amp;backcolor=aquamarine"></p>
<p>&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.esea.dk/esea/boincschedulers.php?backcolor=cornsilk&quot;&gt;</p>
<p><img src="http://www.esea.dk/esea/boincschedulers.php?backcolor=cornsilk"></p>
<p>Please let me know if a color doesn't work - I'll propably make some typo's
here and there.</p>
<p>Next the textcolors will be changable - same color names ;)</p>

<p>New version 0.4</p>
<p>First of all the URL has changed.</p>
<p>And now you can choose which projects to display by selecting the ones you
don't want displayed.</p>
<p>&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.esea.dk/esea/boincschedulers.php&quot;&gt;
displays all supported projects like this:</p>
<p><img src="http://www.esea.dk/esea/boincschedulers.php"></p>
<p>To select not to display a project add a parameter for that project, ex.:</p>
<p>&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.esea.dk/esea/boincschedulers.php?seti=no&quot;&gt;
- looks like:</p>
<p><img src="http://www.esea.dk/esea/boincschedulers.php?seti=no"></p>
<p>For each additional project add more parameters with &amp; as in &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.esea.dk/esea/boincschedulers.php?pred=no&amp;burp=no&quot;&gt;
which would look like</p>
<p><img src="http://www.esea.dk/esea/boincschedulers.php?pred=no&amp;burp=no"></p>
<p>Parameter list:</p>
<p>SETI@home: seti=no<br>
Predictor@home: pred=no<br>
climateprediction.net: clim=no<br>
LHC@home: lhc=no<br>
Pirates@home: pir=no<br>
Einstein@home: ein=no<br>
BURP: burp=no</p>

&gt; Bruno, thanks for the tool.
&gt; I may save a lot of ever-repeating questions.
&gt;
&gt; Can we you it on other forums/web-sites as well?

yep, you can use it where you want (for now at least, I don't think it impacts my bandwidth too much ;))

I thought there would be some website owners out there who wanted to be able to display online status of the boinc projects schedulers.

So I created this little script that does exactly that. It looks like this:

<img src="http://83.72.130.163/esea/boincschedulers.php">

Now, Boinc Online Schedulers (BOS) version 0.3 is pretty much still an alpha version, but it looks to work pretty good.

All that's needed is to make an image tag on the page you want to display it at, like this: &lt;img src="http://83.72.130.163/esea/boincschedulers.php"&gt;

It's updated every 5 minutes. Future plans for it includes:

- choice of projects to display
- choice of colors to use

59) Message boards : Number crunching : CPDN grants more credit than Predictor (Message 10858)
Posted 14 Mar 2005 by Profile old_user2275
Post:
&gt; &gt; One of the main differences from cpdn to the other projects is that cpdn
&gt; is currently the only one that doesn't send the same wu to more participants
&gt; and compare their results. This means if your host claims an amount of credit
&gt; for cpdn work, that amount is what is granted - which is not the case per
&gt; definition at the other projects.
&gt;
&gt; That's far from accurate. CPDN does resent some WUs of re-check consistency
&gt; among different platforms.
&gt; What it doesn't, is the concept of claimed/granted credit. Credit is granted
&gt; upon actual work being done, not some synthetic benchmarks and others
&gt; not-much-sayings numbers.
&gt; You finish whole model, you get 6805.26 credit. As simply as that; no
&gt; horse-trading.

I wasn't too clear here ;)

What cpdn doesn't do, like the others, is to send out the same wu to several participants, wait for the participants to return the results, compare them, and then grant credit by evaluating claimed credit - that is granting the lowest value, the middel value or whatever scheme is chosen.

Any comparison that may be done between wu's does not in any way affect the credit system - and I view it from the credit systems point of view in this thread ;)

&gt;
&gt; I've found that CPDN grants ~50% more credit per second of CPU time than
&gt; Predictor does, on the same computer. Is there any way this bias can be
&gt; fixed?
&gt;
&gt; Across projects, my impression is that CPDN grants more credit than LHC, SETI,
&gt; or Einstein as well.

Have you checked out how much credit your hosts claim at the other projects? It may be higher than what is granted. One of the main differences from cpdn to the other projects is that cpdn is currently the only one that doesn't send the same wu to more participants and compare their results. This means if your host claims an amount of credit for cpdn work, that amount is what is granted - which is not the case per definition at the other projects. As far as I can tell from Andrews link, it would seems that on cpdn there is not even such a thing as claimed credit.

Well, in either case, cpdn is not very comparable with the others as it is very different in how it works.

&gt; Hi,
&gt; I´m looking for a CPDN-Team with some nice people to join. Are there people,
&gt; who need some credits and have fun to crunch together?

There are always teams that look for new members :D My team is one of them - only it's in its infancy so it may not be so attractive for some people yet ;) But I'm working hard on it, missing sleep, learning php and mysql from scratch just to build the features I want for the members :)

this is the second time I've noticed this. For some reason I need to close down BOINC - but hadsm3 4.04 still runs... First time was a while ago with BOINC cc 4.19 and now with cc 4.25 too (win xp). Naturally I just end the task from the processes list - but I'm not too sure if this action might in some cases f*ck things up

right. Aleays be careful editing the client_state.xml file - that can't be emphasized enough

&gt; I will check it out when I get home from work
&gt; I suspect it does as the projects tab shows two cpdn projects running one
&gt; with 114562.5 of credits which is seti
&gt; the other with 7088.81 which is correct for cpdn

If that is the case you should be able to correct it manully. First take a note of the credit amount listed on the projects tab for the seti project. You would then need to close the BOINC client while opening client_state.xml in a text editor (not Word or something like that, use notepad or similar). Make a back-up of the file just in case.

Search for the occurance of the credit amount. If you find it next to a string that says user_total_credit&gt;, you have found the seti project settings.

A little above the total credit amount you will find a string that say master_url&gt;

If it is followed by http://climateprediction.net/ it should be changed to http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/

The line just below is project_name&gt; - if it is followed by climateprediction.net it should be changed to SETI@home

A bit further down, below the user credits, you will find a string that says scheduler_url&gt;

If it is followed by http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc_cgi/cgi then it should be changed to http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah_cgi/cgi

This should help - if it doesn't, close the BOINC client emediatly and restored the backed up client_state.xml file.

&gt; Thanks Nick I will when seti is up again
&gt; It didnt work with predictor though

propably an error in the client_state.xml file. Does the client show the correct amount of credits for the renamed seti?
