Hi Everyone,
Was wondering if the old Team Ninja BB is active or who's running the BB now-a-days? There were quite of few people from the very old days of Team Picard that migrated to that site during the 'great rift'. I liked the idea of the super stat, but maybe with some tweaks... Maybe we could help out or something.
Does anyone know of any good CPU based distributed computing projects? I've got a an old Tyan SS8812 with 4 CPU's just gathering dust, it's pretty lousy on F@H given the power usage.
Thanks,
Prok

Hi, It looks as though Team Ninja lost their .com domain, just like us - but I found their forum here.... www.team-ninja.net/vbulletin/They are contributing in WCG and Folding - but again just like us, in smaller numbers than they used to. I recognised a few names in the stats...... stats.free-dc.org/stats.php?page=team&proj=bwcg&team=2522
Ah yes "The Great Rift", one of many that the team went through over time. On the old forum someone wrote a team history and it made interesting reading - we spawned a few other teams through the years.....
I'm a bit out of touch with the other projects though, so I cant really help with your old Tyan motherboard.

Funnily enough I was looking on there last week for the first time in a long time , didn't actually log in (good folding at home threads if you want to read them x2 - I took them on in a vain attempt trying to hold them off. we are way past them now BTW). As far as i can tell from the front page nobody seems to post apart from the odd remove a project/add a project post in the DC vault forum and they are mainly users from other teams. CPU projects - you could do a lot worse than chip in with Rossetta@home or give Cramnoly a hand with universe@home where he is doing a cracking job , not run that one myself but as far as i know it is cpu only. There are always odd projects like lHC@home which i think was cpu only but to be honest will need to revisit some of the them and check again. WCG is very popular and they have sub-projects which may well appeal (such as covid) Gibson would have been the best person to advise as he run everything but despite a pm on einstein I dont think he has found us us since moving to TSBT due a lack of forum. There are many teams where we no longer have any active members - perhaps pick one of them that appeals? edit: Campion has run most things so if your viewing , please register and offer you suggestions  |

What is/was DC Vault? Another BOINC-like distributed computing infrastructure? Or a stats aggregator? Edit: Regarding CPU-only projects, when SETI@Home went into hibernation I switched to 50% ClimatePrediction (climate modelling; they only rarely have tasks ready to send), 25% Rosetta@Home, and 25% WorldCommunityGrid (projects: OpenPandemics - COVID-19 and Africa Rainfall Project). |

Just a bunch of stats across the various projects, they kinda assign ratings to them and work out who top teams are - i got fed up requesting our missing teams across the prjects to be added and never looked there again |

Hi Guys,
I'm sorry for the uber late reply, really overloaded at work, 12+hrs days. Anyway, thanks for the suggestions. I'll definitely look into Rosetta@Home and the WCG looks interesting as well. Are either of them friendly to Linux? I ask because Windows wants and arm and a leg to allow more than two CPU sockets.

In fact its supposed to get slightly better performance on 64bit Linux distros than on Windows. I run mine on Debian 10, on a Proxmox Virtual server and it runs well. I'll have to start it up now that the weather is cooling down......  |

Hmmm, thanks guys. May try the WCG first, will look up dual boot setup on existing Window 10 system. Will check out Debian distro.

Came across this - you briefly gave rc5-72 a go but not for long prokaryote 08-Dec-2002 26-Jan-2003 you lasted longer than i did ....... Bozo 25-Nov-2012 27-Nov-2012 (pretty sure it download a unit as I was trying to configure it for ogr-27) |
