BOINC Migration Announcement
by bbover3 on Aug 17, 2007 4:13:15 PM
World Community Grid is pleased to announce our BOINC migration plan. BOINC (Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Networking Computing) is a software platform for volunteer computing and desktop grid computing.
World Community Grid members currently have the option of participating using either the United Devices (UD) or BOINC clients. While approximately 67% of devices are running on UD and 33% on BOINC at this time, this mix is changing with a greater proportion of new devices registering using BOINC (80%) than UD (20%).
当前WCG的UD和BOINC的用户比是2:1，但新用户里的比例是1:4。
The UD software helped launch World Community Grid with MetaProcessor 3.0. However, this version is no longer being supported by United Devices. Over the past 18 months we’ve been developing our BOINC strategy to ensure a secure, trouble free and user friendly environment for World Community Grid.
因为WCG使用的UD软件版本已经不再被UD公司支持。过去的18个月，我们为WCG引入了安全、健壮而且用户友好的BOINC。
As part of this planning, you may have noticed many BOINC enhancements and new functionality on World Community Grid including: the BOINC simple GUI, the results status page, the ability to conduct large scale Beta testing with volunteers, the ability to select preferred projects, and the ability to control the CPU throttle via the website.
列举BOINC的若干优点...友好的简易视图、可查看计算结果的详细信息，可进行大范围的Beta测试，可选择优先项目，可控制CPU占用率等等。
We would like to announce, effective immediately, that World Community Grid is migrating fully to BOINC. BOINC is a vibrant open source platform and should provide many years of service to World Community Grid.
正式宣布WCG将全面迁移至BOINC。BOINC是充满活力的开源平台，将能够长期为WCG提供需要的服务。
Elements of the migration plan are as follows:
迁移计划如下：
UD Platform:
1. World Community Grid’s two active projects, FightAIDS@Home and Human Proteome Folding 2, will continue to run on UD (in addition to BOINC).
2. Our plan is to run these projects on UD at least through the end of 2007 but no later than mid-2008.
3. No new projects will be available on the UD platform.
4. Before the end of October 2007, we plan to remove UD as one of the registration options.
UD平台：
WCG的两个活动项目FAAH和HPF2，将继续运行在UD平台至少至07年底，但不会晚于08年中（同时也在BOINC平台上运行）。
新的项目将不会出现在UD平台上。
到07年10月底，将取消UD平台的注册功能。
BOINC Platform:
1. FightAIDS@Home and Human Proteome Folding 2 will run on BOINC until each of these projects end (in addition to running on UD).
2. All new projects will be available on BOINC Windows, Linux, and Mac.
BOINC平台：
FAAH和HPF2将一直运行在BOINC平台直到项目结束。
所有新的项目将只出现在BOINC平台上，包括Windows、Linux和Mac版本。
Migration from UD to BOINC:
World Community Grid is asking members with devices on UD to begin migrating to BOINC at their convenience. The steps involved in migrating from UD to BOINC are as follows:
1. At the present time:
a. Uninstall UD:
Right click on World Community Grid’s icon in the lower right corner of your desktop tray and select "Exit.” This will stop the agent. Then you should be able to use the Windows Add/Remove program to remove “World Community Grid Agent”.
b. Register on BOINC:
• Go to World Community Grid’s home page and make sure that you are signed in.
• Click on the Join Now button.
• On the download page, the "BOINC for Windows" has been preset as the default. Scroll down and press the "continue" button.
• Follow the installer instructions.
WCG请求UD用户开始迁移至BOINC，目前阶段的步骤如下：
先卸载UD程序（右击屏幕右下角的WCG运行图标并选择Exit以退出该客户端，然后在添加删除程序里移除World Community Grid Agent），然后再注册BOINC（在官方网站的下载页面选择BOINC for Windows即可，然后根据提示信息进行安装）。
2. After we modify the installer:
To simplify the migration from UD to BOINC, World Community Grid is modifying the installer to automatically uninstall UD from the device being registered as part of the BOINC registration. This feature should be available prior to the end of September, 2007 and will provide an easier migration path for members. We will let members know that this is available via the forum and a newsletter.
为简化迁移过程，WCG正在修改安装程序以做到自动卸载UD，该安装程序将在07年9月底前可用，届时我们将通过邮件和论坛通知各位会员。
Mass Installations:
Members who have multiple devices installed on UD will be provided with documentation about how to do a mass-installation using BOINC. This document will be posted to the website prior to the end of October, 2007.
针对那些有很多台机器上安装了UD的用户，我们将于07年10月在网站上发布相关文档，介绍如果使用BOINC进行大量的重复安装。
Communications:
The BOINC migration will be communicated to all members through a number of vehicles. It will be described through World Community Grid’s newsletter, which will be published in September of 2007. The newsletter article about the migration will target UD members and will provide them with information on migrating themselves to BOINC.
After September, 2007, we will continue to mention the migration in all World Community Grid email communications until all members are off of UD or until UD is no longer supported on World Community Grid.
During the first half of 2008, we also will send periodic reminders to members still returning results on UD that they need to migrate to BOINC. This communication will tell them the name of the computers running UD and the time that the last result was returned.
为将这次迁移的相关信息传达至所有用户，我们准备进行如下工作。
07年9月份的邮件通讯将谈到这次迁移，主要面向UD用户，将提供他们如何迁移到BOINC平台的相关信息。
在07年9月后，我们将继续在所有的WCG邮件通讯中谈到这次迁移，直到所有用户都离开UD平台或WCG不再支持UD平台。
在08年上半年，针对那些仍在返回UD结果的用户，我们将定期通知他们需要迁移至BOINC平台。邮件中将包括仍在运行UD的计算机名和计算结果返回的时间。
Information about BOINC:
Comprehensive information about the BOINC client was published in the March 2007 newsletter . You can review this information here.
