CERN Summer Computing Challenge - beta testers please欧洲核子研究机构夏日计算挑战赛 (beta样品测试)
Late last year we ran the first CERN Public Computing Challenge to test several new technologies for volunteer computing. Now we are preparing the Summer 2015 edition. We've made many improvements so it needs some final testing and we believe that the T4T community is ideal for this. To help us, just point a Web browser to the URL http://test4theory.cern.ch/vlhc or go to the Challenge website http://test4theory.cern.ch/challenge and click "JOIN NOW" and "START COMPUTING".
去年我们开展了首届CERN公众计算挑战赛来测试一些新的技术。现在进行第二届竞赛,我们已经对样品进行了改进,现在是时候拿它们出来溜一溜了。
访问 http://test4theory.cern.ch/vlhc 或竞赛页面 http://test4theory.cern.ch/challenge 点击“立刻参与”以及“开始计算”即可。
What's new this Summer?
The new VM has several advanced features:
(1) It uses micro-CernVM which boots faster than CernVM, and it uses the new DataBridge to get jobs faster than CoPilot.
(2) it runs up to 4 simultaneous jobs. If you offer n <= 4 CPU's it opens n Linux containers and runs them all inside your single VM.
(3) It supports jobs coming from multiple projects, not just Test4Theory jobs, so there's an entirely new credit system included called "Credit-Piggy" which collects your credits from all projects into your personal piggy-bank.
To begin with we will be running standard jobs from the Test4Theory project with all results going to the MCPlots database. If you click on the small "BOINC" button at the bottom of the WebAPI page and set your BOINC T4T user ID, then in addition to your Piggy credits you will also collect MCPlots stats for your Billionaire's Club, etc.
Also note: the old Challenge VM was a copy of the current Test4Theory 32 bit CernVM image. The new one is 64bits which means you MUST have VT-x or AMD-V enabled! For help on this see: http://www.cern.ch/ben/64bit-VTX.html

Please give your feedback initially on this Message Board thread.
Thanks to everyone for supporting T4T and looking forward to your help and interest for our future developments.
The T4T and Challenge teams
