How to install & setup WCG

[NickS]

Read this to install and config WCG correctly

• Sign up here (or if re-installing, you must be signed in on worldcommunitygrid.org)
• Follow the rest of the steps after signing up.

It will allow you to download BOINC and tell you how to set up WCG with BOINC. BOINC has automatic support for multiple cores last time I knew.

MISC SETUP & ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT

You can configure your account http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ms...yMemberPage.do.. like joining a team, etc.

To find XtremeSystems team, just search XtremeSystems and hit Join Team

Ok tell me this,,, how do I get 4 cores to run at 100% do I need to run 4 of these? HEEEELLLLPPPP~~~!!!

Edit: It looks like this app is for single cpu's no dual cores or dual cpu's....

[NickS]

This project is BOINC Compatible, I'll add that to the guide. There you can use multiple cores.

has anyone figured out why the sig stats don't update?

[NickS]

To get your stats to update, you need to have your username like this. For example, my WCG username is NickS, so add XtremeSystems after your username.

NickSXtremeSystems

To get your stats to update, you need to have your username like this. For example, my WCG username is NickS, so add _XSXtremeSystems after your username.

NickS_XSXtremeSystems

where do i need to change this?

[NickS]

I changed my above post, I screwed up the username. It works now, though. Anyway, to change this, go here http://stats.free-dc.org/statstool.php

[itznfb]

ooohhh, you put your username in the projectID instead of the boinc client ID. that's weird.

[NickS]

Yep it's working properly for you now. Your teamrank is 9

That's why the old UD client is being dropped. It's oudated, you get less points and doesn't work on multi-core cpu's, your going to have to use boinc im afraid .

[itznfb]

i don't really mind using the boinc client. its easy to use.

Installed, it said somehing need to be updated...I guess I have to reboot.

[Magnj]

ok up and running for XS @ 100% CPU with my A64 @ 2.2 Ghz.

Question. Will running this on my Dual-Core Turion TL-50 produce enough to warrant me to install this on it?

[Got Chow]

BOINC returns way more points for me on the same machines (fast ones compared to a lot of old school crunchers) than UD. A WU is a WU, points don't matter THAT much, but getting double the points for the same WU is nice.

[NickS]

I removed the UD install guide, as you can use BOINC on single core too and it gets us more points .

Here's my V.quick guide I wrote over in the R@H section;

here's the WCG sign up page basically fill in what it asks; http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/re...o?platform=all

then follow this boinc guide to set it up; https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.or...YouBoincWin.do

once done log in on the www.worldcommunitygrid.org website and go to the team page here; http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/te...mId=69B8364XP1

1)go to the FDC forums and log in
2)wait to appear on the XS team page here; http://stats.free-dc.org/new/teamsta...=XtremeSystems
3)go to the stats tool and enter in the WCG box "usernameXtremeSystems" e.g. for me "melymel2789XtremeSystems"
4) click the tick box and then update and you are done.

[itznfb]

to change your sig just sign -in to the free-dc.org forum, then go to stats.free-dc.org and go to the statstool config, from there you'll be able to figure it out if you've done it before. for WCG you want to enter your name with XtremeSystems on the end, instead of your boinc ID. like this:

edit: you beat me to it

[lawrywild]

Thanks guys, got it now

I just realised my sigs on the forum limits now, I had better not run anymore DC projects

[Magnj]

ok so I have the project attatched to BOINC so now do I close the WCG thing or leave both open?

Also does this 100% load tool need to be applied everytime I reboot?

you have UD and boinc running at the same time? get rid of that ty UD client.

as for the 100% load tool.... what is it?

[NickS]

Only for UD proggy.
