Hello everyone!

Just a little something to let you know the Boinc project called Virtual-Prairie is up and running with a lot of work for more than a month now.

Canada team is not doing bad over there, but not as good as we could! For those of you who are looking for a new project to join, that's a possibility.

For more info on the project, click here.

You can join Canada on this project by clicking here.

Here's our stats:



Hope to see you there!

Looks like you've got half the teams credits yourself! I'll keep crunching it on one of my rigs until I hit 100K...

Just created account & added 5 rigs to project.

Thanks for the info. Started crunching it also.

And you're already the UotD on Oct 1st JPLiz!

Congratulations!

And yeah, I like this project pretty much. Nice to see new members contributing to the team total as well!Looks like Sirius will be team leader in no time at this pace! And it's only a small part of his farm

Hey thanks. I notice they only had 1000 wu's left. Hope they make some more or we wont be crunching long.

Don't think so for one, they have a significant gap between issues of wu's & 2, looking forward to getting reorganised here (Andrea has the lounge to herself for her tv & music - except when we have visitors & I have the 2nd bedroom as my computer room/study - NO customers allowed), & once done, will be really hitting the PotM's

Oh really... I crunched it for more than a month without recruiting here because I wanted to make sure they won't run out of WUs... I thought they had plenty of work.

I'll switch to the PotM if ViP runs out of work...

That being said... if you found that in the Server status page, under <Results ready to send>, it seems that the number is always around 1000. It goes down a little, then comes back to 1000 or so. I doubt it has anything to do with the real number of WUs available to crunch in the project.

Thanks for the info. I'll srick whit it untill it runs out. I like this project.

While I agree that this is a valid project (I have a BIL who works for the ministry here in Ontario and is very involved with this) - I find that the project itself is very memory intensive - akin to running cosmology - you need a fast newer machine with lots of ram or your system tends to bog down!
Going to keep this one running on one rig for now tho.

Are you guys still getting some work from VP?

Haven't got any work from them for a few days now and server status (http://vcsc.cs.uh.edu/virtual-prairie/server_status.php) shows no work. Looks like we may be in a bit of downtime here...

Just check also and I got 'vip_work_generator_9 vcsc Not Running ' message. I hope they are not going to OOW for a year like last time?)

Been getting work there again recently - let's hope it keeps up!

That was a quick return on the good track, I hope it doesn't go out of work again soon.

I crunched a couple days of WCG's HFCC to keep my cpu's busy meanwhile.

Just to let you know that Virtual-Prairie has new work available.

We're over 600K credits, soon enough we'll reach the million! Be there!

I already have a few running - thought it was a worthwhile project right from the start! Thanks for the update LePanda!
