Ok cool. Reverted back to how I did it originally :)

I took a guess at that as there was a default badge out there, figured it was a base one everyone got...I should have looked at it first as it was not a good guess perhaps :)

I'll update code to take that out now.

sweet. Implemented partially at Free-DC, given it's just based on credit.

See an example on my CPID page here

standalone for use in signatures

which is {img}http://stats.free-dc.org/badgesgpugrid.php?proj=ps3&id=59511{/img} changing {} to []

I can't promise anything. In any case, for there to be a remote prospect of export being implemented, please provide example URLs or some other project code to refer to.


Well, after re-reading the first news announcement it does not appear to be similar to Primegrid or Yoyo@Home where they have levels of badges for each 'app'. BOINC server code as standard does not differentiate between credit earned on one app or another within a project so they have developed their own code to store this data in a separate table and they then just export it. WCG do the same thing with badges but they do not (yet) hold the subproject breakdown of data, therefore do not produce any xml to report it either.

But GPUGrid appear to be going to do something different as you don't have multiple apps as such anyway. The badges for overall credit are easy enough for 3rd party stats to reproduce given it's just based on data within the standard xml files, but the 2nd type of badge you look to be offering will be different indeed. Relative contributions on publications.

Would it be possible to produce an xml output containing this data ?

Something like (and I'm guessing a bit here at what you mean)

<user>
<userid>99</userid>
<publication>1st publication</publication>
<badge>Ruby</badge>
</user>

I could then parse that file and associate the badges with the userid's

Actually WCG haven't. They allow the data to be scraped more or less as far as I know by SETI.Germany (who do a VERY good job with it btw). I've had a number of discussions with them about it and they aqreed to produce subproject data almost 2 years ago, but it hasn't happened yet :( I had high hopes they'd code it and get it put into the BOINC server code for everyone to use. Perhaps GPUGrid can be the pioneers here instead...

I'd rather get the complete set of data in a single file, than scrape a constantly changing set of users data. Saves everyone on bandwidth in the end.

That certainly is wonderful news, I really wish it were part of the BOINC server code and have been an advocate for a number of years.

Would it be possible for you to follow the precedence of Primegrid and Yoyo@Home and write some code to export the subproject data out so that I can parse and display it along with the badges at Free-DC ?

You can find the details of Primegrid's extra xml file here.

If this is not possible here, any other way to export the data needed for 3rd party stats to be able to generate the badges without having to scrape the data (as I would not do that) would be fantastic.

awesome, I see the details in the hosts file now.. Hopefully I'll have my coding finished over the next few days to show and collate the info on my site...

Posted 5581 days ago by Bok
I just worked out with the Seti guys to add in some details to the hosts.gz xml file for each host to contain a line for the coprocs so we stats sites can parse and display it....

As per David Anderson's email..

Starting tomorrow, SETI@home's host.gz file (in its stats export)
will including the following line in some host elements:

<coprocs>[CUDA|GeForce 9500 GT|1|256MB]</coprocs>

This is a summary of the host's coprocessors.
In this case, there's 1 coprocessor of type CUDA.
The product name is "GeForce 9500 GT" and it has 256MB of RAM.

Any chance GPUGrid can look into updating the server code to include this also ?
