Important information for users with VirtualBox installed

If you have VirtualBox installed on your computer and participate in this project please note:

  • in order to get tasks your CPU needs to have virtualisation capabilities (AMD-v or VT-x)
  • those virtualisation capabilities need to be enabled in your BIOS settings or all tasks will error out
  • Some tasks are incompatible with newer VirtualBox versions:
    If you have 1.15 or earlier tasks, you must use VirtualBox 4.3.x or earlier.
    If you have 1.17 tasks, you must use VirtualBox 5.0.x or earlier.
    If you have 1.18 tasks, you may use VirtualBox 5.1.x.
    If you have 1.19 tasks, you may use VirtualBox 5.2.x.
  • a BOINC client of at least 7.2.33 is recommended
  • The runtime of the cmsearch VM apps are very long (>1000 hours) and deadlines are automatically extended but only visible on the website!
If you don't want to get work for the VM application please disable "cmsearch VM" in your project preferences.

Small popular science article published in Laborjournal (German)
Today, a brief popular science article dealing with the Rechenkraft.net community and the RNA World Projekt has appeared in the online version of the popular German lab journal 'Laborjournal' - unfortunately, this article is available only in German. Rechenkraft.net has spread the news already via Twitter.

Heute ist im Laborjournal (Online-Variante) ein kleiner deutschsprachiger Artikel zur Rechenkraft.net Community und unserem RNA World Projekt herausgekommen. Rechenkraft.net hat ihn auch schon über Twitter verbreitet.
