Team England has decided to take part in one of the regular competitions at WCG –
Christmas Race 2008



A list of the ‘runners’ can be found here –
http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/team/challenge/viewTeamChallenge.do?challengeId=1721

The race runs from 1st December through to midnight on the 24th December.
All team members are invited to take part – the more the merrier!
The team has the opportunity to improve both UK and World rankings on this worthwhile project. All it needs is a small contribution from everyone in the team – perhaps one or two WCG WUs each day while continuing to crunch your own projects. There is a thread in the Team Forum where you can follow progress or find out how to ‘tweak’ your project settings.
The WUs can take up to 8 hrs and the time for validation, strangely enough, is quicker than SETI even though WCG WUs ask for a quorum of 10 or more!

Another milestone for Team England (Boinc) -
40 Million Credits!


The team has a presence in 56 Boinc projects.
As this milestone is passed on 11th June 2008 -
In 50 of the projects, the team is in the Top 10 UK ranking.
In 16 of the projects, the team is in the Top 50 World ranking.



Overall, the team is No. 7 in the UK and No. 105 in the World.
Not long to go until we reach the Top 100........




Be there with us when we reach the Top 100!

Calling all Team England (Boinc) members!

The team forum is back online after a lengthy absence due to technical problems.
The whole board has had a bit of a \'spring-clean\' and there is a new \'Members Only\' section where team members can really get to grips with BOINCing in general and the Projects in particular!
The Castle Cafe is open for business with the usual forum games to help you unwind.

And of course - we always welcome new members........

This delay in credits granting has happened before but it always works out eventually - all that happens is you get a large award of credits on one day.

I\'ve been eagerly awaiting a milestone on CPDN - 100k credits - for the last couple of days now....

I have a WU on my quad which is showing some strange (?) behaviour -
CPU time is 270 hrs and rising, time to completion is 7 hrs and static. The % complete is very slowly rising, about .01% per hour, currently at 97.5%.

Any ideas, anyone or am I worrying un-necessarily?

Calling all members of BOINC@AUSTRALIA!

You may be aware that Aussie Assault 7 is due to begin (on 01 June) and will run until 14 June.
The target is WCG - World Community Grid. This project actually crunches four separate causes:-
1) Fight Aids at home
2) Genome comparison
3) Human Proteome folding
4) Help cure Muscular Dystrophy

WCG is slightly different to the other BOINC projects. If you have any difficulty attaching, check the team forum.
Help is available!

Any other \'homeless\' crunchers out there who would like to join in the fun, feel free - we are the No.1 Australian team,
currently in 18th position Combined Boinc World ranking.
Visit the team forum here for more details about the team.

I think John, who\'s a wealthy Insurance Executive 8O and part time spy ;), should buy another 512M stick of RAM.


Definitely not wealthy! I\'ll have to put in a bit of overtime to fund a RAM upgrade.
This is the 3rd time I\'ve had the problem of \'not enough memory\' -
1st - I couldn\'t do SAP (when it was still going)
2nd - Some of the WCG WUs need 1G to run.
3rd - now I can\'t run CPDN alongside other projects as I have done in the past.

Looking on the positive side though - this old machine of mine hasn\'t done too badly. I\'ll do the upgrade as a reward for when it passes the quarter million credits......

Thanks everyone for the help here.
Two things mentioned by mo.v that probably caused this morning\'s crash -
1) Yes - my machine does an automatic AV scan every morning at 0900 GMT.
2) My PC is a Pentium 4 H/T and it was running ABC alongside the CPDN model with no problems. It must have been the addition of the AV scan that tipped it \'over the edge\'.
3) (For fun....) Is there really a screensaver that you can see on BOINC projects?

G\'day crunchers everywhere!

We are now starting Aussie Assault 6 (AA6). After being runner up in the last few polls for the AA, Einstein has been chosen to be the project which will receive our concentrated attention for the next few weeks.

Bruce Allen who is the Forum moderator, Project administrator, Project developer and Project scientist for Einstein has agreed, after much persuasion from members of the Team, and instigated by Mike Mitchell, to crunch Einstein for our Team. He has started this already and his numbers are very impressive.

The Aussie Assaults are a regular team-building exercise we run here at BOINC@AUSTRALIA - the results are always impressive and we have great fun at the same time. In the last Assault (on ABC@Home) another team - l\'Alliance Francophone - learnt how much fun these assaults can be and helped both BOINC@AUSTRALIA and the project itself achieve spectacular results.
(overview of that assault here.)

So - Gentlemen - START YOUR ENGINES !!!

*** UPDATE TIME ! ***

Almost two weeks have passed since AA5 on ABC@Home drew to a nail-biting close.
Both teams - BOINC@AUSTRALIA and l\'Alliance Francophone gained a lot from the two weeks.

We have also gained ground in combined ranking - now placed 25th overall in team ranking.



Some of the guys are having a \'mini-assault\' on one of the \'medical\' projects - why not visit our forums and see if you can find out which project?
All of the individual project sub-fora are open to public view.

The Aussie Assault on ABC@Home is coming to an end and it has been a fantastic experience for all involved.

l\'Alliance Francophone ran up nearly three million credits and us Aussies are just creeping up to the two million mark now.

At the end of the day, though, it\'s not just the credits - it\'s the enjoyment of competition, team spirit and understanding different nationalities/cultures.
The guys at AF now realise exactly what we try to achieve on these Aussie Assaults and have thanked us for showing them something extra that can be gained from BOINCing.

The head honcho on the project - Hendrik - deserves a special mention for keeping everything together while two teams of looneys went at it hammer and tongs!

Looking forward to Aussie Assault 6..........

Well, we\'re at it again! AA5 has been mounted on http://abcathome.com/
and it has turned into a fantastic struggle - BOINC@AUSTRALIA versus l\'Alliance Francophone.



Here\'s a clip from the project news section;

06 February, 2007
It\'s been a while since the last news. Everything is running pretty good, and we\'re very satisfied. Currently there is a friendly exciting competition going on between Boinc Australia and all french speaking persons gathered in l\'Alliance Francophone. Who will win is an interesting question, the French speaking guys have assembled an entire army, but the Australians are tough! Or will a third team arise and claim victory? Further more, today I rewrote part of the stats daemon, I hope it will be implemented tomorrow: stats can be updated more frequently and it contains a few bug fixes.


....and you can follow some of the battle here -
http://abcathome.com/forum_thread.php?id=76#1638

AA5 is scheduled to run until February 14th and it will be interesting to see the final result
of this David vs. Goliath face-off!

Of course, anyone can join in the fun - it\'s not just the race for No.1 !

Thanks for the info, Les!
(I like this place; somewhere finally where the admins care and respond to the crunchers. A few of the projects, which shall remain nameless, do not show this level of support for crunchers.)

I won\'t be able to run CPDN exclusively 24/7 but I will certainly give it a good proportion of my CPU output in future.

Now I know what to expect next time I run a CPDN WU.

I\'ll be taking a break from CPDN for a few weeks but I\'ll return refreshed and ready to go on a new WU.

Is it true the new TCM models take twice as long as a Sulphur model? The sulphur model I\'ve just completed was around 7 months in crunching so I would be in danger of going over the deadline if it is still 1 year......

Here\'s a mix-and-match triple milestone.

A day or so ago I hit 30k on Einstein,
Yesterday afternoon BOINC@AUSTRALIA moved into 29th position BOINC Combined,

and last night I completed a sulphur WU !!!!!!

Thanks for the prompt reply but the WU is still not finalising and uploading.
Continuous hard disk activity still there so I\'ve suspended again.
BOINC Manager now states CPU time 1462.51.33, Progress 0% and To Completion = 1618.48.57.

This WU -
http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/result.php?resultid=1921937
reached 100% completion half-an-hour ago but my hard disk is still working franticly. BOINC manager states WU is still running, CPU time 1462.51.33 , Progress 100% and To Completion = 0.00 .
No other messages appear in BOINC manager.

Any ideas anyone?
(to stop the hard disk activity, I\'ve now suspended the WU)

Look on the bright side - it\'s all credit in the bank. As soon as things get back to normal, credits will be granted. (In my case, as I post this on a Sunday afternoon, that\'s 4 trickles to be credited...)

Hi guys!
I've re-attached to the project now and things are going OK at the moment.
Work unit no. 411250 was downloaded OK and has been running on my machine for the last 20 mins. or so with no problems!

Please, everyone, accept my apologies for the false start on this project a week ago - I'm afraid I have "killed" two work units - 400319 & 400591.
If any admin see this, is it possible to re-issue them and clear them off my account?

Regrettably, I've just had the same problem.
I have been with Boinc/Seti for some time; yesterday I added Einstein@home and today I added CPDN.
On the first attempt at running CPDN, my PC didn't want to know - and neither Seti or Einstein would run either.
I've had to detach from the project until I can sort this out.
Seti and Einstein both working OK now that I've re-started PC......

(edit) should have mentioned - Windows XP Home + SP2 running Boinc 4.19.....(end edit)
