What is VirtualBox?
What is VirtualBox? VirtualBox is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization hypervisor for enterprise as well as home use. A hypervisor allows your computer to host one or more Virtual Machines, running different operating systems than your own computer runs. This is essential for all our projects (except for Sixtrack). Not only is VirtualBox an

What is CernVM?
What is CernVM? CernVM is a Virtual Software Appliance for the participants of CERN LHC experiments. The Appliance represents an extensible, portable and easy to configure user environment for developing and running LHC physics software both locally, on Grids and on Clouds, independently of Operating System software and hardware platforms (GNU/Linux, Windows, MacOSX).

Why do we need a virtualization application?
Why do we need a virtualization application? All our projects (except for Sixtrack) run very large CERN software packages with complex dependencies that cannot be easily ported to all the volunteers' operating systems (Windows, GNU/Linux and Mac OS X). For this reason, we use a virtualization solution, which enables us to run complex codes independently

Why is the Virtual Machine not using all my CPU cores?
Why is the Virtual Machine not using all my CPU cores? VBoxWrapper does not support more than 1 core currently. We recommend you run multiple BOINC tasks, each with a single VM, to use multiple cores on your system.
