1) Message boards : Number crunching : Formula Boinc 2021: Sprint calendar (Message 641) Posted 18 Mar 2021 by Alez Post: Yes it's SiDock. Prepare for a similar if not bigger load on the server than during the Bam Challenge. Starts 19/03/2021 at 11:00 UTC Good luck everyone.
2) Message boards : Number crunching : BOINCstats BAM challenge has been called on your project (Message 597) Posted 14 Feb 2021 by Alez Post: I'd like to add my thanks to the project team for the effort put in during the challenge and a hugely deserved congratulations to P3D for an impressive display of teamwork and crunching power to win. Well done all.
3) Message boards : Number crunching : BOINCstats BAM challenge has been called on your project (Message 583) Posted 10 Feb 2021 by Alez Post: 6 hours left to go. Current GigaFLOPS 28362.45 Target: corona_PLpro_v2 (%) 84.612 The server has held up very well as has the supply of tasks.
4) Message boards : Number crunching : BOINCstats BAM challenge has been called on your project (Message 573) Posted 8 Feb 2021 by Alez Post: Almost 70% of the current run complete, another record day with Current GigaFLOPS at 24925.14. Planet 3DNow! have stamped their authority all over the challenge now. Just over 2 days left to run, can we complete this data set before the end ?

6) Message boards : Number crunching : BOINCstats BAM challenge has been called on your project (Message 555) Posted 6 Feb 2021 by Alez Post: You guys are now starting to pull away from us at a rate now. Best not let off the throttle though ..... Simply not enough members and not enough cores, there never is, always the story with BOINC. The project will certainly be the winner here. Another record day for GFlops ( 20568.84 ), over 50% of this run complete already and a good test for them when the Formula Boinc sprint comes up. For a recently started project I can only compliment the guys and girls making it happen for how things have run. Personally, so far so good and the Pirates aren't in last place :) 4 more days to go and the fat lady hasn't warmed up her vocal chords yet . We'll see you guys at the finish line for a virtual beer !
7) Message boards : Number crunching : Tasks @CurieMarieDock not starting on Linux (Message 553) Posted 6 Feb 2021 by Alez Post: Glad you're up and running now with no errors. Happy crunching ! I think Ubuntu 18.04 and above are the requirements to have Glibc 2.27 or above. I think it was released start of 2018 so really you want a version of Linux after that to support this project without loads of hassle trying to force the newer Glibc onto older kernels and linking to BOINC etc.

"Throwing a few AMD Epyc 7V12 in" Greetings from Planet 3DNow! Yeah, I'm not sure those of us on The Scottish Boinc Team can hold you guys off for much longer, but it's been a good fight so far. We're trying our best :)
9) Message boards : Number crunching : Tasks @CurieMarieDock not starting on Linux (Message 538) Posted 5 Feb 2021 by Alez Post: sudo apt install boinc-client boinc-manager Won't help if it's 32 bit linux or if the native version of GLIBC is below 2.27 in the linux version. The required libraries are part of the Linux package, not part of the supplied BOINC package. Alternatively, run RxDock only as it doesn't require the GLIBC_2.27
10) Message boards : Number crunching : Tasks @CurieMarieDock not starting on Linux (Message 532) Posted 5 Feb 2021 by Alez Post: From your tasks you are throwing an error due to a missing library. 15:52:40 (22727): wrapper: running /home/antonio/Software/BOINC/slots/0/build/cmdock (-r target.prm -p "/home/antonio/Software/BOINC/slots/0/data/scripts/dock.prm" -f htvs.ptc -i ligands.sdf -o docking_out) /home/antonio/Software/BOINC/slots/0/build/cmdock: /lib64/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.27' not found (required by /home/antonio/Software/BOINC/slots/0/build/libcuriedock.so.0) Are you using an old version of Linux or a 32 bit version ? Either upgrade linux, search for the lib in your package manager or install it via the command line. ie on Ubuntu sudo apt-get install libc6 libc6-dev libc6-dbg
11) Message boards : Number crunching : BOINCstats BAM challenge has been called on your project (Message 529) Posted 5 Feb 2021 by Alez Post: Nice run. We are at Current GigaFLOPS 18775.44 (new record), and server is still alive ;-) For your first experience of a challenge being called on the project I think things are going very well. Thank you for making extra tasks available, I suspect they will take quite a hit before the challenge is over. I know some people have moved some serious power over to your project for this. Best of luck.
12) Message boards : Number crunching : BOINCstats BAM challenge has been called on your project (Message 516) Posted 4 Feb 2021 by Alez Post: Current GigaFLOPS 16688.58, I'd guess that's a new record for this project. Plenty of tasks so far and the server holding up fine. an extra 12% of Target: corona_PLpro_v2 (%) crunched in 24 hrs
13) Message boards : Number crunching : BOINCstats BAM challenge has been called on your project (Message 501) Posted 31 Jan 2021 by Alez Post: Also if anyone wants to take part in the challenge but doesn't have a team, or their team is not taking part, either The Scottish Boinc team https://www.sidock.si/sidock/team_display.php?teamid=43 or Anguillan Pirates https://www.sidock.si/sidock/team_display.php?teamid=44 will quite happily host you for the duration of this challenge should you wish. Good luck to all taking part.
14) Message boards : Number crunching : BOINCstats BAM challenge has been called on your project (Message 500) Posted 31 Jan 2021 by Alez Post: As a reminder from a previous post. I hope that you are aware that a BOINCstats BAM challenge has been called on your project. https://www.boincstats.com/stats/challenge/team/chat/1086 It will start 2021-02-03 14:15 UTC . You may find that you will receive a higher load on your server and a greater demand for tasks. If teams have been bunkering for a few days prior, you will receive a large amount of uploads within the first few hours of the challenge starting. Hopefully this will all be a boost to the project and will have no ill effects. It might be a good idea to have extra tasks available for the duration.
