Even if it were in flashing colours with arrows pointing at it, people would ignore it or just know better than all the rest. We have a manual, with a FAQ, I have the BOINC FAQs, it doesn't matter. You can't make people read it. |

The FAQ, useful though it may be, is a bit obscure. You could just link to the sticky and be done with it, if you want to. Or you could just ignore them without guilt. If they can't find it, they probably won't understand it anyway. Your time is valuable too. |

Nick Name mentioned BOINC@TACC. Here's an article describing the University of Texas at El Paso’s School of Pharmacy running simulations through the Texas Advanced Computing Center, which this Boinc project supports. UTEP School of Pharmacy developing COVID-19 Vaccine, drug treatments using supercomputing Here's part of a Boinc@TACC thread on this project. https://boinc.tacc.utexas.edu/forum_thread.php?id=44&sort_style=&start=40 Main web page https://boinc.tacc.utexas.edu/index.php |

A list of the projects we're aware of is here. Another non Boinc App which startet a COVID-19 reasearch is DreamLab its available for Android and IOS |

A list of the projects we're aware of is here. Thank you very much. I think someone mentioned that to me on Twitter but I forgot about it. I've added it to the list. Speaking of the list, it's getting a bit cluttered. Time to fix that. Team USA forum Follow us on Twitter Help us #crunchforcures! |

A little warning for those of you running Rosetta on Android devices: check your device regularly, that it isn't stuck or waiting for you to clear (storage) memory. Don't just check the device on the website to see if it is still contacting the project correctly as that may give false information. My old Huawei P9 Lite is running several projects, among it Rosetta. I just today checked the phone itself to find that although it had contacted Rosetta the past days, it wasn't doing anything because the 4 Rosetta tasks on the device were so big they had gobbled up all storage and the phone was waiting for me to clear space (16GB storage, 200MB free). After uninstalling everything I didn't need on the phone, it's now crunching Rosetta's again. I also set the Target CPU Time in Project Preferences to just 2 hours (was default 8.) as this gives smaller tasks. |

Ibercivis re-opens, with a project on Covid-19. |

Not a BOINC or Folding@Home project, but useful anyway: https://fold.it/ We recently kicked off a new challenge in the fight against coronavirus: design a protein that might help keep a person's immune system under control. In this video, we are joined by Umut Ulge, MD PhD, who explains what can happen to somebody's immune system after they get sick with COVID-19. |

And here's a link to the announcement, which links to the project itself: https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=13709&postid=98509 |

I checked memory requirements of a few work units, quite a difference. Ibercivis 77 Mb Open Pandemic 186 Mb Rosetta Covid 700 Mb Folding@Home Covid - maybe someone else can advise If you're crunching multi-threads of Rosetta and finding your system bogging down (as I did even when Boinc is idle), try switching to the other projects. |

Folding@Home Covid - maybe someone else can advise Running the Folding CPU client on my Ryzen 3950X (all 32 cores, Ubuntu 18.04.4), the FahCore_a7 is using 1.6% of 16 GB memory, or 256 MB. Running the GPU client on an RTX 2060 (Ubuntu 18.04.4), the FahCore_22 is using 1.1% of 32 GB memory, or 352 MB. In all my years on Folding, no one has ever complained about high memory usage. |

Rosetta Covid 700 Mb The Rosetta work units can take a lot more when they are under development; up to around 3 GB. I currently have one running under Win7 64-bit at 2.5 GB. And about half of the ones running on my Ubuntu machines (around 70 cores) are between 1 and 2 GB. In a few days, they will settle down to less than 500 MB. But memory problems tend to surprise new users (and even some old ones) on Rosetta. |

Hola a todos: Me instalé hace algunos días BOINC para el proyecto Ibercivis y todavía no funciona y no sé si ese proyecto sigue vigente porque aunque le he dado margen para que realice trabajos en mi iMac desde las 7 AM hasta las 23 PM, el salvapantallas me dice siempre que el proyecto no funciona y en las preferencias dice lo siguiente: General URL https://boinc.ibercivis.es/ibercivis/ Nombre de usuario: [Fco. Javier García Segura Nombre del equipo Asignación de recursos 100 Uso del disco 0 bytes ID del ordenador 3011 Suspendido mediante interfaz gráfica (GUI)no No solicitar tareas no Ubicación del host predeterminado Tareas completadas 0 Tareas fallidas 0 Crédito Usuario 0 total, 0.00 medio Ordenador 0 total, 0.00 medio Planificando Planificando prioridad -0.00 No solicitar tareas paraAMD/ATI GPU El proyecto no tiene aplicaciones para AMD/ATI GPU Última respuesta del planificador 2020 May 21, Thursday 07:35:35 No entiendo el motivo por el cual Ibercivis no hace nada ya que tengo otro proyecto en marcha llamado Einstein@home y ese sí está funcionando perfectamente y por eso os pregunto si hay algún problema con el proyecto Ibercivis porque soy un novato en este tema. Os agradecería cualquier información sobre este asunto. Un saludo muy cordial. |
