Suggestions welcome, otherwise I am off to bed with not much Crunching going on..
 
Might go back to Enigma and see how far we get??

This was part of the 2017 pentathlon hosted by SETI.Germany: https://www.seti-germany.de/boinc_pentathlon/ this year.
If you do try to bunker LHC you need to pull your network cable, disabling the network card will cause the VM to stop running.

HT is ON and not config file used, only Preferences Set. 
SIXTRACK is based at CERN. You can run it under the LHC@home application. Read more about the:
 Apps https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/apps.php
App Number of Tasks Ready
SixTrack  1817307 Number I got to test Zero
sixtracktest  0
CMS Simulation  7331  Number I got to test    1 Download Size 650MB 2GB VM Memory  Runtime 8.5 Hours   Can only use 1 CPU for this VM Task.
LHCb Simulation  49504  Number I got to test Zero
Theory Simulation  55830  Number I got to test   1  Download Size 310MB 630MB VM Memory  Runtime 9 Hours   
ATLAS (This one is a Killer on Computers) Needs Lots of Memory if I recall. You Can Set the Numbers of CPU Threads to use as well
ATLAS Simulation  6758  Number I got to test     1 Download Size 1.1GB MB 5GB VM Memory  Runtime 2.5 Hours 
Now I recall way I stopped running ATLAS or LHC@home was because it takes all my network bandwidth.
Could Be CMS Simulation v47.60 (vbox64) windows_x86_64
Or Even Theory Simulation v263.20 (vbox64) windows_x86_64
ALICE Simulation  0
Benchmark Application  0
Disk size needed for the Above is just under 6GB and Times Are Start Times. I will post competed time as they complete.
You will also see some "Error while computing" that I think is normal for this Project and others will run fine. 
 
I have to retest ATLAS because I set it to 3 CPU's in error so I will change it to 4 CPUs and test and then down to only 2 CPUs
(4 CPU) (RYZEN) ATLAS Simulation  6758  Number I got to test    1 Download Size 1.1GB MB 5.8GB VM Memory  Runtime 1.6 Hours  
The more Threads you give ATLAS the More Memory is needed for the VM.
Running 6 ATLAS 8 Threads Each and Each VM takes 9GB of VM Memory Runtime about 1.4 Hours

The Large Download Sizes are only on the First Task you download and like for ATLAS each new task is less than 120MB.
 
I will keep all my Testing in this Post.
MORE TO COME

Atlas is being weird for me.. got it running on my dual e5-2680 setup (HT off) so 16 cores, have 2 - 8cpu tasks going, only using 20% of processor (only took 20 min per task though).. setting project to download all tasks now. Might disable atlas.

well not too late to bunker a few. Doesn't really start for another 5 hours 15 min 
 
So far the only job to actually fully utilize my cpus has been SixTrack SSE2. SixTrack pni maxes out between 20-40% with 16 tasks (1 per core) and Atlas multi-thread at 2x8core does the same 20-40% utilization. Have my network use suspended right now so I can't test the rest yet.. Just weird..

Kind of a Bummer but for the last 4 Hours my computer have been downloading 8 tasks and only at 42KBps.
I am only at 60%, LHC AT home was not ready for this.
 

Just got the 4GB LHCb vdi!!!  watch out for that one.. Theory vdi @ 1 GB. CMS and atlas vdi @ 1.6 GB. But the same virtual disc image seems to run multiple tasks, with the tasks being much smaller.

Out of ATLAS tasks (my preference)...can't get Sixtrack even though server shows tons of work ready to send.
Struggling through Theory and CMS tasks now.

Yeah, I understand VBox makes it easy on the project developers but it is a real pain for us crunchers.

I've rarely had a virtual box problem. I update it drom time to time, but the only thing I've seen is stuck virtual machines.

Sixtrack Tasks are Flowing now.

+1  I'm getting plenty of Sixtrack now.
 
1 day down and in 4th spot.  We've got some heavy lifting to do if we want to move into the top 3.

Thanks to all who have been sticking it out in LHC, because of you we are only 3 points out of 7th place in the overall Formula Boinc standings. I was only able to run 3 tasks at once so decided to help elsewhere. HK-Steve and I are working a CPU project that we hope to gain 2 more points in a few days. If anyone wants to help with a CPU project, shoot either of us PM. (We're being stealthy)

It has been rough trying to keep my PCs running on all cores.  Limited by memory and can't get Sixtrack or ATLAS still.
But, I will keep on truckin'.

sucks that atlas is completely out of tasks. Those are by far the best bang for your buck. Literally everything else is about 1/2 the points. Some sixtrack are only worth 5 points! **** is that!?

LHCb seems to be pulling in a good amount for me. running 8 at a time @  250-500 pts per task.  But my god do they take up memory. And Hard drive space.. and bandwidth.

I thought I had it running right, then no tasks, then my hard drive was 99.99% full.
What the heck.
Deleted VM, deleted BOINC and my drive is back to normal.
But it said I aborted 11 tasks, I did not abort any tasks.
LCH1
Why oh why

Maybe when you deleted the VM. Just guessing.
