As part of the CERN 60th anniversary celebrations (and the 10th anniversary of LHC@home), we're planning to run a two-week "Public Computing Challenge" during December, and at that time we will be asking all of you, our T4T volunteers, to contribute CPU power to this Challenge via BOINC.
But starting today we have a different request. The Challenge will run a special series of Test4Theory simulation jobs, whose outputs will build up a database to support an exciting new project: an interactive version of Test4Theory where users help to tune the Monte Carlo QCD models at the heart of the system. The main developer of this project is Ioannis Charalampidis who works at CERN for the Citizen Cyberlab collaboration.
One component of this interactive system is a web-browser interface to CernVM called CernVM_WebAPI. After alpha-testing this for some time, we think it's ready for wider testing. So we created a special version called T4T_WebAPI, configured to run Test4Theory jobs from web browsers. This way, members of the T4T community can easily become our first beta testers.
From today we are asking all interested T4T volunteers to help to test T4T_WebAPI.
Further information and a series of hints for beta testers is at: http://www.cern.ch/ben/t4t-webapi-hints.html
Please give any testing feedback on this forum thread as far as possible.
All the best from:
Ben, Ioannis, and the T4T team
