Project Specific Information:

• [email protected] has three types of apps.
  • The Six Track tasks can be run on any x86 or x86-64 CPU without Virtual Box
  • Theory Simulation can be run on x86 or x86-64 CPU,  with VT-x or AMD-V enabled, and Virtual Box installed on the host system
  • The other tasks can only be run on a x86-64 CPU, with VT-x or AMD-V enabled, and Virtual Box installed on the host system

 

app_config.xml:

<app_config>
    <app> 
        <name></name>
    </app>    
</app_config>

*Note* app_config.xml is currently empty, and will be updated if there are any optimizations for the project.

[email protected] has been selected for Swimming.  Like [email protected] there are tasks that require Virtual Box and tasks that can be run with Virtual Box.

Currently there are no non-virtualbox tasks available.

Some of the virtual box tasks have huge file downloads, in addition to large memory requirements.  The non Vbox tasks are pretty tame.  I don't know which are most beneficial from a points perspective.
 

I got 3 in linux right after the project was announced just to see how it ran.  But I haven't tried to build up 5 days of anything yet.

I tired again and just got 14 tasks when I asked for 5 days worth, this is going to suck.

It is going to be interesting. In addition to LHC frequently running out of work, they just migrated all their sub-projects to a single site. Their new distribution system is going to get some rigorous testing.

Poking around their Website Atlas requires at least Virtual Box 5.1.16 and it's associated Extension Pack.  I wish I had anticipated this possibility ahead of time, I think I need to upgrade on one system that has a VM full of Cosmology at the moment.

This is what I'm seeing

The one listed in BM's project list is the old one and didn't work for me.

255mb, 1.6gb, 649mb, and 693mb initial downloads for the different apps! FYI. I think its the work files that are ~120mb for Theory simulation which is what I got. I'm downloading several of those.
