Previous Model vs New Model
(Message 1676)
Posted 8 Jul 2022 by Yavanius Post: Jesús, Can you simplify the differences (layman terms) the difference between the new model and the previous model? At a glance, it seems the newer model allows a greater range of options in your experiments than the previous model. it's a bit late, so the mind isn't quite grasping the difference between the models. :) TIA, Yav |

Posted 7 Jul 2022 by Yavanius Post: The first batch has gone at the speed of the light. Just looked at server status, there's several thousand WUs available. Maybe they released another round of work? I got 3 on my computer and see one has completed. |

Posted 7 Jul 2022 by Yavanius Post: I didn't even know you had a holiday coming up. I was just realizing that July 7 is earlier for you than us in the west, you being in Spain. Sometimes we forget where the projects are. ^_^ Looks like WCG kind of beat you to having WUs again, although it was only a test run. I was hoping you'd come back soon so I could dedicate some time just to DENIS before WCG resumed fully. Cheers, Yav |

Posted 6 Jul 2022 by Yavanius Post: Well, we would ask on the forum if the forum wasn't broken during that time. ;) Looks like you managed to iron a few bugs out... although doesn't ruin the iron? BTW, I was just thinking, is that July 7th in Spain that you will (hopefully) relaunch? Cheers, Yav |

Posted 10 Jun 2022 by Yavanius Post: I'd like to suggest reaching out to various educational institutions and have them share DENIS@home with relevant study students. I don't know if BOINC forums are robust enough, but have discussions about the science on a more technical level than your average BOINCer. They don't have to run BOINC to participate (they can do Science United if they just want to participate without the credit), but they will have to create an account to participate in the forum. |

Posted 10 Jun 2022 by Yavanius Post: Are you gonna restart with BOINC/Science United first and then look to other avenues? If so, do you have an anticipated date yet? |

Posted 19 May 2022 by Yavanius Post: The reason I ask for Android is I got a number of retired devices that were crunching for Cancer on WCG (doing Universe and Einstein in the interim). Be nice to have another project to contribute to. The only other things available are math related which don't really interest me. Vodafone Australia collaborates with Garvan Institute on the Dreamlab DC app for both Android and iPhone. https://www.vodafone.com.au/foundation/dreamlab Unfortunately, the only way to see what projects they are doing is to download the app. Also, the only tracking (last I checked) is on a per device basis. Samsung does something too with a bunch of different causes you can contribute to, although I haven't checked it out and I'm not sure if it's actually actual distributed computing. I don't know where else you could look too offhand. I haven't researched any other public DC sources in a whiles. Possibly some bitcoin type oriented research organizations. You'd have to see what kind of actual reach they got. ~Yavanius |

Posted 17 Mar 2018 by Yavanius Post: DENIS is still listed with BAM! (BOINCStats). It appears the URL has not changed as I successfully added it on to another system that never got work from it before via BAM!. |

Well, your upfront out-of-pocket is less. Your cost is still the same. It's like buying a car and making a down payment. That Camaro is still 20 grand even if you only put down 5 grand upfront. ;) Incidentally, ARM devices in general, particularly Pi type devices, are seeing all kinds of people doing new things with them. Folks are even doing clusters with them and they work amazingly well. They're no supercomputers but are proving quite versatile...[/b] |

Posted 7 Apr 2017 by Yavanius Post:
An i7 doesn't fit in your pocket making really hard to lug around to make calls never the problem of needing a socket when you need to make a call. (Okay, granted some of these monster phones don't either...but that's whole other discussion.) You might have one i7 desktop but 4 phones in a household. Even with 4 phones, you're using maybe a 1/10th the energy of a desktop... Folks who don't understand computing on Android don't seem to realize that the desktop market is at best, zero growth (sofar as I know, it's still on the negative side). People continue to buy/get new phones so now you don't just have one phone, you have two phones. Now the second phone is doing nothing so you can just plug it in and start crunching for less than the cost to run a fluorescent light bulb with negligible head waste and zero noise. Android devices are actually rather powerful and comparing them to PCs is more like an apple to orange comparison. They're intended as mobile devices but they gotten more powerful and apps have gotten better that they are replacing PCs for productivity. The lines are getting more blurry each year between an Android device and PCs (can we say tablet like Microsoft Surface and also there's Netbooks). Yeah, the $500 i7 system is going to run circles around the $500 Android Phone... but then you just spent $500 for a system to run BOINC all day. The other guy got a sweet phone he can talk, send messages, browse the web, play games, check the weather...and when he plugs in, run BOINC. Heck, he could get a $400 phone, get a $50 power pack and run BOINC on the go. New phones have these quick charge features so even if you have to wait to plug in you are running BOINC very soon... |

Posted 17 Jan 2017 by Yavanius Post: As noted before, taking advantage of various ARM optimizations would benefit an Android app. It's no different than taking advantage of optimizations on Intel/AMD chips. Right now, on a 2nd gen i5, your WUs are currently less than 4 hours with a one week roughly deadline. Assuming a WU took 3x longer, that's about 12 hours... so that deadline still doable in a week even in a limited time on ARM devices, even 4x longer / 16 hours. That's allowing for 4 hours of computation per day. Being plugged in is pretty much a factor of all DC projects on Android. But computers are plugged in, so... :) That all said, if it's not critical WUs be returned in a 1 week timeframe, you can adjust out the deadline. Might I suggest a beta release when ready to test it out. I'd put out the usual clause though about the beta not being a finished project and if you don't understand the nature of beta testing, you shouldn't be running it... I'm not familiar with the details of what needs to be crunched, but perhaps Android clients could do a Phase 1 analysis and later Phases be regulated to computers. BTW, Octa-cores (they're not true 8 cores ... they are 2 x 4 cores) are becoming increasingly common on Android devices. |
