Re: QuChemPedIA@home

It's a 1950X, default settings with 32 Gig of RAM running Ubuntu 19.04 if I remember correctly. QuChem is down again so I can't check.

Edit: Just had a thought and checked on WUProp, details are correct (also Boinc version 7.14.2 if it matters?)

Re: QuChemPedIA@home

I only have the one box on QuChem so can't help with different CPUs or OS.

If it helps, I've just downloaded four tasks and all ended up as invalid, three after 30 seconds, one after twenty minutes. Normally I'd get at least one valid out of four but it's a small sample size.

Once the application is running it connects directly to the University of Sussex server, it doesn't go via Boinc. Same in Windows or Linux.

Changing the network access in Boinc has no effect, blocking the IP address at the router or pulling out the network cable works :D
