1) Message boards : Web interfaces : Team - cross project (Message 4645)

I see sometimes a signup URL for a team, am I mistaken in believing that this will sign the user up to the cross project team for all the users other projects? Or is it only signing the user up to the projects' team- and thus the user would need to find and click on 11 other links if they were contributing to 12 projects before deciding to join a cross project team?

Re the stats pages, yep, I am an avid user of boicstats for example, however what I would like tho is some way of having a 'team' page on my own website populated with the details of the tems stats etc. I see this on a few of the _large_ teams' homepages like boinc UK or boinc Australia etc.

Thanks for your Help

Hello,

This is probably an easy question for someone, here goes:

1) I want to set up a team, anf this team would be a cross project one, how do I set one up?

2) Is there any php pages etc that display a teams stats? (I have looked high and low and cannot find anything, I think due to the fact that vast XML files would need to be downloaded regularly to keep it up to date). What I mean by a hph page is, something that could be put onto my own/the team website.

"Keep in mind that many 'spammers' systems are naive end users who don't know how to secure their systems properly."

If your house, car, computer or cell phone is being used for any criminal activity without your knowledge, the police will for sure (at least temporarily) confiscate it. Ignorance is bliss; not an excuse.


First off who are you quoting?

I dont know which country you are in but confiscate a house?! any crininal activity - better not park illegally then...

Is it possible get gain sight of the todo list?


Regarding the upload of data.
I have for example a completed work unit in my boic client. Looking through the messages tab there _is_ a message saying it has been uploaded.

07/05/2006 09:57:53|SZTAKI Desktop Grid|Started upload of 2c2d0a79-89c4-49be-ac4b-5340c28df44d_1_0
07/05/2006 09:57:56|SZTAKI Desktop Grid|Finished upload of 2c2d0a79-89c4-49be-ac4b-5340c28df44d_1_0
07/05/2006 09:57:56|SZTAKI Desktop Grid|Throughput 11029 bytes/sec


I guess this is a connection to berkley (none to clear on the wiki or in app where this connection is made to - and I really cant be bothered to be arseing around with netstat at just the right moment to assertain this simple fact)? Would be nice to have a more informative message in the messages tab - something like 'uploading results file to dodar.com'

Additionally I cannot see the point in not uploading the other half of the unit immediately to the project's server - especially since in my particualr setup it is decreasingly unlikely that there is benefit to waiting till more of the same projects work units are completed within a reasonable time - far more likely that other projects' workunits will complete - the resources in regard to my internet connection and the resources at the destination servers is the same in 99% of the time.

A full 2 hours plus change and still the result had not cleared from my client so I clicked update on that project:

07/05/2006 12:13:13|SZTAKI Desktop Grid|Sending scheduler request to http://szdg.lpds.sztaki.hu/szdg/cgi-bin/scheduler
07/05/2006 12:13:13|SZTAKI Desktop Grid|Reason: Requested by user
07/05/2006 12:13:13|SZTAKI Desktop Grid|Reporting 1 results
07/05/2006 12:13:17|SZTAKI Desktop Grid|Scheduler request to http://szdg.lpds.sztaki.hu/szdg/cgi-bin/scheduler succeeded

A sligthly more informative message but still not very informative.

nice idea - few problems tho.
Consider that if the server the spammers are on is a shared server?
Also consider if the bandwidth to the hosting center is maxed out and there are non spammers located there?

There is a thing called lad vampire - try searching on google.

If you were to ask scheduler to check it is not in the last few mins of completeing a unit I would agree with you.
I've had a unit interupted at 99.34% complete, 'To completion' 14s. As that project only gets a 28% resourse share it sat in that condition, in memory for over 3 hours before completing.

This very situation happens to my WU's too. Some workunits stop with 8seconds to go till completetion others say about 5minutes.

a) Is there some sort of new setting bveing made called 'endgame leeway' that will allow for the user to configure, and consequetnly the the boinc-client to complete a work unit in these circumstances?

another thing is that completed work units are not automatically uploaded immediately upon completetion. My comps - on+connected 24/7.

b) There seems to me a need for a setting to allow for the upload of work units immediately that they are completed.

I run 12 projects - some on 1% some on 50%.
