1) Message boards : Projects : Need a new project (Message 107246)

Post:
Thumbs up to TN-Grid.

Another project not listed on the BOINC pages so likely to get overlooked.

You DO have to create your account by following instructions:
http://gene.disi.unitn.it/test/index.php and put in the invitation code.

You also have to have Boinc 7.16.20
2) Message boards : Questions and problems : Something changed? Boinc - WCG - Africa Rainfall Project laptop grinds to a halt. (Message 106415)
Posted 14 Dec 2021 by TRWeasle
Post:
Been using Boinc for a few years (!).
I migrated to Win 11 and dedicated all my cores to the African Rainfall Project which I know is pretty heavy but all was working fine and has been for several weeks.
Suddenly maybe a week ago (not sure on the precise timing) things ground to a halt. And I mean a minute to change from one app to another. I didn't even normally have it on "Suspend when Computer is in use"
I just let it do it's thing.
Any thoughts? I'm quite happy to throttle back ARP and mix with other projects from WCG, but something has changed recently for me and I'm wondering what.

My laptop is fully updated in terms of windows...
Obviously it has been hogging 6GB of my 8GB of memory, but everything was working okay, I don't do anything heavy on my laptop, a bit of word, excel, Facebook, that sort of thing. So if feels as though something has changed.
As an afterthought - I have downloaded Malawarebytes (as I did a clean install of Win 11) and it has found some Potentially Unwanted Programs...

Thank you, Jord. Much appreciated.
I guess I will hold off on the Chromebook for the moment. I have copied your answer on the WCG forums for their info too.

I'm really confused.
I did a forum search and came up with not 1 (one) thread on Chromebook or Chrome OS. -which I suppose gives me my answer.

I recently bought a Chromebook: Lenovo C340 11"
IntelĀ® CeleronĀ® N4000 Processor (1.10 GHz, up to 2.60 GHz with Turbo Boost, 2 Cores, 2 Threads, 4 MB Cache)
Chrome OS 83.0.4103.112 (Official Build) (64-bit) - as up to date as possible
Memory 4 GB LPDDR4 2400MHz (Soldered)
Hard Drive 64 GB eMMC

Boinc Android app 7.4.53 - newly downloaded

It accepts Android apps from the Google Playstore and I downloaded the Boinc Android App.
It installed and I was able to connect it up to World Community Grid.
Downloaded a Covid-19 WU and crashed.

Do I deduce that my Chromebook can't crunch?
Or is there something to tweak?
I'm a fairly confident user, but not a tech geek (no insults intended) and totally new to Chromebooks.[/img]

5) Message boards : Questions and problems : Changing a device name and boinc account (Message 92927)
Posted 24 Sep 2019 by TRWeasle
Post:
Very simple question: can I change the name of my device without causing trouble to Boinc and or BoincStats.
I always just left the default device name and am now having trouble working out which device is which laptop.

Second question: I just created an account to write this post... But the account I created is just for the forums right? I tried my standard user password and it told me it did not exist. I've been Boincing since 2007... I hope this isn't a problem.
