News:

OK that was a fail. Just spent four hours loading a fresh install of smf and still could not get the mail to run That is the only problem so far with this install so I am leaving this one as the production install.

Sorry for the delay confusion, but I have had a gut full of Simple Machines Forum software.

Please let me know if you find anything other than mail not working with a PM..

ALL THINGS LINUX / Re: BOINC in WSL GUI

Yes you need to load the drivers. I didn't go that far but found this which might help.

If I recall you have to install gpu drivers to get boinc to recognize your gpu.
I think stock linux drivers dont have any of the compute stuff like Cuda or OpenCL.

Hi Dingo,
I had a bit of a crack at this today but not from the above instructions. I thought it had worked but I can't seem to get any gpu work?

So I did the WSL update and I have a Ubuntu app installed (although I wasn't asked to create a username & password?) I did sudo apt update and installed BOINC, that all works.
I added a couple of projects but I was only able to get cpu work like I had when running Ubuntu in a VM.

Where have I gone wrong? I feel close but something has fallen over.
Any suggestions?

My projects say this if it helps?

Linux Ubuntu
Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS [6.6.87.2-microsoft-standard-WSL2|libc 2.39]
BOINC version 7.24.1 (I don't know how to update it in Ubuntu... if I even need too?)

I was pretty proud to get this far tbh!

GPUGRID / Project Summary

Last post by Dingo - April 12, 2026, 12:22:55 PM

Project Summary
A volunteer distributed computing project

The project solves the problem of finding symmetric tuples of consecutive prime numbers, which cannot be found in the BOINC project SPT due to the search range limitation to 2^64. In particular, the problem of finding symmetric tuples of length 17 of consecutive prime numbers according to the following pattern

0, 6, 24, 36, 66, 84, 90, 114, 120, 126, 150, 156, 174, 204, 216, 234, 240

The existence of such tuples is a necessary condition for the existence of a symmetric tuple of length 19 of consecutive prime numbers with a minimum diameter of 252.

Currently, this subproblem is being solved in a non-BOINC project

Applications

The following platforms are supported:

Microsoft Windows X86 (64bit)
Linux X86_64 (64bit)
