1) Message boards : Science : How does Universe@H's BHSpin application differ from the new project BlackHoles@H? (Message 4717) Posted 1 Jun 2021 by Aurum Post: I installed it but there wasn't anything to run. Best I can tell is it's for developers. http://astro.phys.wvu.edu/bhathome/download-en_US.html
2) Message boards : Science : How does Universe@H's BHSpin application differ from the new project BlackHoles@H? (Message 4715) Posted 31 May 2021 by Aurum Post: BlackHoles@Home analyses actual data from BH collisions, as detected from the LIGO detectors in the U.S., and presumably others around the world. It attempts to recover various parameters of the BH, such a spin, with higher precision than is now possible. When two black holes collide they're travelling at about c/2. Only during the last quarter of a second of this collision is a gravitational wave of sufficient magnitude generated to be detected by LIGO. Has anyone installed this and run it yet?
3) Message boards : Number crunching : Double your task throughput on Linux (Message 4646) Posted 25 Feb 2021 by Aurum Post: Thanks Keith, ULX & BHspin are running at speeds similar to reported here.
4) Message boards : Number crunching : Double your task throughput on Linux (Message 4644) Posted 25 Feb 2021 by Aurum Post: Just checked Linux Mint 20.1 (Ubuntu 20.04) with the latest kernel 5.4.0-66-generic x86_64 and it installs glibc 2.31. But when I checked https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ it says they've released 2.33. The Synaptic Manager does not list glibc so I don't know what package includes it. When I searched for how to get LM to upgrade to glibc 2.33 I didn't find anything but did see a warning not to try it since stuff will break. Is glibc 2.31 sufficient or might glibc 2.33 give better throughput???
5) Message boards : Cafe : Website has expired certificate today (Message 4386) Posted 8 Jul 2020 by Aurum Post: I've noticed several web sites that behave the same with chrome today.
6) Message boards : News : New ULX's (Message 4068) Posted 19 Mar 2020 by Aurum Post: Some of these ULX WUs are taking 9 hours. The scoring should be proportional to the CPU time and not just a fixed number.
7) Message boards : Number crunching : ULX and BHSpin on Linux needs libmvec.so.1... (Message 3780) Posted 5 Sep 2019 by Aurum Post: I don't have this problem using Linux Mint 19.2 Tina.
8) Message boards : Number crunching : ULX needs fixing (Message 3774) Posted 5 Sep 2019 by Aurum Post: I have my BOINC cache set to 0.1/0.1 days and you sent me 557 ULX WUs for 61 days. I'm glad to run them but please play nice with others as Universe is not the only project I support.
9) Message boards : Number crunching : Negative Credit ? (Message 3772) Posted 4 Sep 2019 by Aurum Post: You ran a new ULX WU, in an alternate universe.
10) Message boards : Number crunching : No WUs right now? (Message 3697) Posted 12 Aug 2019 by Aurum Post: I saw Universe ULX has 370 unsent and none in progress. I haven't run this before so wanted to give it a try. I saw your post above about accidentally creating 2.2 million and overloading the server. I'm in no hurry, just wanted to let you know in case you hadn't noticed.
11) Message boards : Number crunching : Burned up in the Sun (Message 3563) Posted 15 Jul 2019 by Aurum Post: Most WUs are 1 to 2 hours. Some run for a day or two. Is that normal or should the long ones be aborted??? Looking around for this but haven't seen it yet.
12) Message boards : Number crunching : Burned up in the Sun (Message 3512) Posted 27 May 2019 by Aurum Post: I flew past all the planets so fast I never even saw them. Now I've crashed into the Sun and turned into a plasma. https://signature.statseb.fr/index.py?badge=197
13) Message boards : Number crunching : "team creation disabled" (Message 3502) Posted 21 May 2019 by Aurum Post: Why is team creation disabled??? Let me know when it's fixed and I'll do some work for you.
14) Message boards : Number crunching : cheating? (Message 3431) Posted 8 Mar 2019 by Aurum Post: What's a "wingman" in this BOINC context??? TIA
