Also a Windows version would help of course, and for that they had better be seriously thinking about VirtualBox.

If you want to go the virtualbox route, you can create your own virtualbox instance, install your favorite flavor of Linux (I chose Ubuntu), make sure that gcc is installed, install BOINC and start running the Linux version of the Quantum Chemistry tasks.

It took me a few tries to figure out that gcc needed to be installed, but now they seem to be running fine.

I have added three. Athlon 5350, I3 3240, I3 6100. Not the best ones but doing their job. I can add more but I would like to know how many WUs can we expect for the Linux QM app?

BTW ATM just 92 users are crunching QM, that's sad :(

People aren't running it since it has so many issues that haven't been addressed.

Lucky me (not even a single problem on my end)

The main reason why I came here was to put my GPU's to work, my CPU cores are all very busy with CPDN.

Start two at once..

I understand that. I'm using only 4C or 2c/4t CPUs so I can't start two at once. Probably that's why i don't have any issues :)

Thanks, but I have five Ubuntu machines. I was offering that only as advice if they want to increase their processing power. They need to enlist the Windows users.

The linux QM app runs fine but it requires some packages to be installed. People should expect infinite number of workunits...

We will run this for ever.

Wow, wow, wow! :D
I will add some more CPUs.

When can we expect some info about scientific results created with this app?

Months away, we have just started.

Could someone who knows how, make a description of exactly which dependencies are needed to make the QC app run flawlessly, in the FAQ section? I think it is a good place for it to be described.

I understand that. I'm using only 4C or 2c/4t CPUs so I can't start two at once. Probably that's why i don't have any issues :)

Once those issues have been solved I will gladly set a 16/32t Threadripper on the QC tasks to shovel them away ;)

I would love to see HCF1 protein folding and interaction simulations to help my little boy... someday.

And to minimize the problem, you can run with the default 4 cores per work unit and only 4 cores (or less) per machine on average, so that they usually don't start more than one work unit at a time anyway. In that way, it is a manageable problem for me, though it would be best if they fix it. I am sure more people would then be willing to run it.

I have set up a i3 Sandy Bridge machine (2c/4t) on Ubuntu and use the default config as suggested above, but all tasks report a calculation error after just 1-3 minutes. Any idea what goes wrong here?

Try installing gcc and see if that helps.

In a terminal session

sudo apt-get install gcc

Thank you... I have installed it. However I am not able to test it as there seems to be a daily quota of 2 tasks per computer and I have to wait for the next day. Really, in view of of >10.000 unsent QC tasks, that limitation is somewhat surprising.

There is a daily limit if a cruncher starts turning more than the usual number of errors. Once you start turning in valid tasks, the daily limit will go back up. I have been caught in it a few times when running test tasks.

Hopefully you will get better results tomorrow.

Thank you.. seems to work now :)

Oh, well.
So we dream for a opencl client (or an sse/avx cpu optimization)

As you probably know, the FMA version of TN-Grid is faster than the AVX version. At least that was my result comparing a Ryzen 1700 (FMA) to an i7-4770 (AVX), both on Ubuntu.

I know.
And, i forgot, a Windows app!!! :-)
