1) Message boards : Projects : Welcome to Climate@Home Version 2 Message 77404 Posted 17 Apr 2017 by kai	Thanks. This is a short term project like QoS project for research. I am happy to give an interview and we can schedule a time for the interview. Could you help to add the project to the whitelist since I need more power for the research.

Actually the Climate@Home terminated about 3 or 4 years ago. But we still use it for our spatiotemporal computing experiments. I have added captcha to registration page, it is awesome. I use Godaddy to register the domain, however, it needs additional money to hide my private info and I didn't pay that additional money. So they put my info online. I fixed the SSL and URL issue. For the default apache page, it probably take a while for me to fix.

You can participate by downloading and running a free program on your computer. The initiative, called Climate@Home, is unprecedented in scope. Never before has NASA attempted to recruit so many people to help perform research vital to forecasting the Earth's climate in the 21st century under a wide range of different situations. https://www.nasa.gov/offices/ocio/ittalk/08-2010_climate.html https://www.giss.nasa.gov/tools/modelE/ *How to join Climate@Home Version 2?* Climate@Home uses BOINC, VirtualBox and Docker to support climate simulation. To join Climate@Home Version 2, you need to have: 1) x86_64 machine 2) Your BOINC client should be 7.6.33 and up 3) You have to install VirtualBox 4)If you are using Windows, your VirtualBox version should be 5.1.18; If you are using Linux or Mac, the VirtualBox version should be 5.0 and up *To join Climate@Home Version 2, please add this link:* https://climateathome.info/climateathome *What is the minimum requirement?* Each task needs one CPU core and 1024M memory. In addition, it needs 10 G Disk. To start the project, you will download a compressed vm_image.vdi, a docker image, related vboxwrapper and other small dependencies. The total size is about 1.1 G. However, the download only happens one time when you start to join the project. For each task, you will upload results file. The project create results based on months count in task, i.e., the months count could be get form the work unit file (e.g., 6months_wu.xml). Each month takes about 30 to 4o minutes. So for a 6months task, it takes about 3-4 hours. The size of each month's result is about 8.1 to 8.2 M. *How long does it take to finish a task and how much credit can I get for per task?* It depends on the task you are running. If the work unit is a 6 months simulation (6months_wu.xml), it needs one CPU core and 1024M memory and the estimate time to finish it is 3-4 hours. Your will get 180 credit for your: 1) computing contribution 2) network contribution 3) disk storage contribution *What is the speed to download the files and upload files* Don't worry about the network transfer speed. Climate@Home Version 2 has replicated files in following locations and it will select best endpoint to download and upload: climateinfovirginia.s3.amazonaws.com climateinfoohio.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com climateinfocalifornia.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com climateinfooregon.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com climateinfocentral.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com climateinfomumbai.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com climateinfoseoul.s3.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com climateinfosingapore.s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com climateinfosydney.s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com climateinfotokyo.s3-ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com climateinfofrankfurt.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com climateinfoireland.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com climateinfolondon.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com climateinfosaopaulo.s3-sa-east-1.amazonaws.com climateinfobeijing.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com Get started and help scientists to improve the climate change predictions.
4) Message boards : Projects : Need volunteers for Spatialtemporal QoS project Message 53538 Posted 7 Apr 2014 by kai	Dear all, I launched a new project Spatialtemporal QoS volunteer computing project. It is a research project founded by National Science Foundation (NSF). It uses Internet-connected computers to perform distributed web service evaluation so that more accurate service quality information can be delivered to end users. Currently it supports windows_x86_64 and windows_intel_x86. This project uses java to monitor the quality of OGC web services(WMS, WCS, CSW, WPS, WFS. etc), so please make sure your java has been installed correctly. 1) This project will use your location to monitor the accurate web service quality information. If you accept to run this project, the project will get your IP address. 2) To make sure you can run this project. Please make sure you have installed JRE. 3) The main page of the project is: http://climateathome.com/qos/ 4) If you have multiple hosts in same location, please register only one host to save the computing resource. Thanks, Kai Liu
