joined.

BOINC doesn't like my wussy GPU  :'( wont let me use it :p

Clock'd 0Ne

I thought it might notify me of new members, etc but apparently not. I can't even run the client yet as I need to reboot and have too much work open at the moment, so it'll have to wait until tomorrow now.

For some reason I thought Boinc would allow cross-project teams, apparently not. I seem to be a partisan faction running Rosetta@Home?

You shouldn't be as the team is set to be BOINC-wide, I think it can take a while for all of the projects to update their records though. According to the emails I'm getting the team has been automatically registered with a number of projects I didn't even know existed





Just a thought, have you tried using the team finder and joining that way if possible?


zpyder

I also don't get a join option on:

http://boinc.berkeley.edu/teams/team_display.php?teamid=2439

I do get a join link for other teams. only difference I can see between the above and a normal team is that they have the TYPE set to something, we have it set to "none".

Maybe it'll take time for it to get validated or something?

DEViANCE is on this team which was set up from Milkyway@Home first so I don't know how it works for him. They have structured the team/accounts section in a very odd way that makes it hard to guage what's going on, but I think it must just be that the Rosetta team hasn't been put in place yet.

I validated my email address last night so it would pick up then started getting all those new team emails. What team ID does it show for the Rosetta Tekforums team you said it splintered off?

zpyder

I've now joined the team, though this isn't reflected on Rosettas team thing. Maybe it's not propagated down.

Also concerned that I had to re-register on berkeleys boinc page to join the team. Hopefully it'll all sync up later!

Still nothing comes up if I search through rosettas page, only berkleys.

This is the only info they have on it on the Berkely site where I set up the BOINC-wide team after setting up the one on MilkyWay:

QuoteA 'BOINC-wide team' is one that exists on all BOINC projects, present and future, with an identical name and founder email address. This web site lets you create and manage BOINC-wide teams. To create a BOINC-wide team:

    Create an account and a team on this site. If you already have a team on one or more BOINC projects, use the exact same team name and email address.
    Validate your email address on this site (otherwise your team will be ignored).

The list of teams and accounts on this site is exported by this site, is periodically imported by each BOINC project. Teams and accounts that don't already exist on that project are added. If the team exists and is owned by you (i.e. its founder has the same email address), then its URL, description etc. are updated. It can take up to 48 hours for these updates to occur.

If some BOINC project is failing to import this team list, please notify them. Ask them to read this page and to update to the latest server software.

A BOINC-wide team is exported only if:

-   The founder belongs to the team.
-   The founder's email address has been validated.

I've done all of that so I'm guessing we simply need to wait another 24 hours for it to all finish propogating like you said.

zpyder

Well, Tek has appeared in the Rosetta team list, though again no join link. Maybe that'll catch up later today!

zpyder

Ok, now it does have the link. I've joined. I wonder if/when it'll all catch up and list all the members from the different projects?!

Clock'd 0Ne

I'm glad its starting to come together, it will probably be a case that it only gets fully updated every 2 days it seems.

zpyder

Have to admit....this is making me want to build a computer again...

I was surprised by how "efficient" my work computer was, chugging away on it's Core 2 Duo. Only just checked the link to the Milkyway team and saw that you guys are about 10x ahead in credit, despite this computer running 24/7 since Monday, and using my i7 laptop and parents computer to boot!

(I've stopped using the laptop as it just couldn't cope, think it was the ram more than anything else. Parents computer copes, but is too slow.)

If I had admin rights on all the computers in the office though, they'd all be running it, as we're told to leave our computers on overnight due to IT rolling out patches and updates etc (though we're meant to be logged out heh).

I would actually consider building a computer if it wasn't for the fact I might be moving country in the next 12-24 months :(

lol I only started running it yesterday afternoon as well, I've not even compared the stats yet :) Mine will be running 24x7 though, I don't even notice its going on in the background. 8 virtual cores helps I think! Does the work credit work out the same regardless of project though (as I'm assuming you're on Rosetta and we're on MilkyWay).

It does at least look like we are all flagging up on a team, just not altogether on the main BOINC-wide team yet. Maybe it will take a little longer to feed through.

Where are you thinking about moving to?

zpyder

Don't really know to be honest. Canada, New Zealand, America, wherever Kathryn can find a decent post-doc position or something probably! Likely to go travelling first though, so again doesn't make sense to invest in a decent computer if it's going to be sat unused for months...
