Debugging application
Debugging application The modus operandi of this project is the following: 1. “Show graphics” button to see some images and other details of the running job from CERN. There are also useful log files of VM and CoPilot activity which help debugging. Examples…. 2. “Show VM Console” button to see the VM console via the

Test4Theory Timeline
Test4Theory Timeline Stage One The first stage of this project was to allow enthusiasts in all parts of the world to contribute to the development of the most accurate possible theory references for collider measurements by donating computing time to running collider simulations. The results of those runs is used to generate the tens of

What do I need to participate in LHC@home?
What do I need to participate in LHC@home? You need a computer connected to the Internet with at least 512MB of RAM and 9GB of free hard disk space. It can run Windows, MacOSX or Linux. To run any of our LHC@home applications, you will need to install BOINC. For other applications than Sixtrack, you

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

Does LHC@home support GPUs?
Does LHC@home support GPUs? For the moment LHC@home does not use GPUs for running the experiments. Additionally, the GPU code could not work as we are accessing the hardware via a virtual machine.

VirtualBox shows me the following runtime error message: “cannot access the kernel driver!” What can I do?
VirtualBox shows me the following runtime error message: “cannot access the kernel driver!” What can I do? (This is a Windows problem only).If you get that error it seems like your VirtualBox installation missed installing the vboxdrv.inf driver. Please first try to reinstall VirtualBox – if this does not solve the problem, go to C:\Program

Is it possible to configure the maximum amount of data that can be downloaded/uploaded by the project per month?
Is it possible to configure the maximum amount of data that can be downloaded/uploaded by the project per month? The BOINC transfer at most network preference is not supported for the moment. If your ISP has a limitation in the bandwidth that you can use each month, bear in mind that the virtual machine will

Can I simply shut down my computer or is a special procedure necessary?
Can I simply shut down my computer or is a special procedure necessary? We recommend to exit BOINC before powering off the computer, because the VBox Wrapper will capture that exit signal, and will try to save the virtual machine and avoid canceling the WU. This is not necessary when suspending or hibernating the computer.
