Until we figure out the bandwidth problem, I am going to eliminate AP work from my machines.366k downloads much better than 8MB. Don’t do that people… :-) Someone must be my wingman. I have over 270 AP wu’s pending. Tim |

Hi Richard Thought I would let you know that I got that download_retry.cmd to work, thanks to Horacio pointing out my rather embarrassing mistake. I redid the file and placed it into C:\tasks and it runs just fine. Seems like an elegant solution that you came up with for SETI only crunchers. I am not sure, but it looks like it might work with any version of Windows running any version of Boinc. Many thanks to you and everyone who helped me sort this out. Thanks. Bruce Bruce |

Master database queries/second 1,305 Sure hope oscar doesn't blow a gasket! Things have been running soooooo smoothly recently Edit - back down to 544 |

Master database queries/second 1,305 Under some circumstances oscar has handled over 30,000 queries/second continuously without breaking a sweat. It's actually more worrisome if the queries/second is low (say, under 200) during what should be normal operations, because that means something is clogging the pipes. - Matt -- BOINC/SETI@home network/web/science/development person -- "Any idiot can have a good idea.

...... because that means something is clogging the pipes. Speaking of clogged pipes. After a couple of days of relatively normal operation, downloads are starting to choke up again. T.A. |

Don’t do that people… :-) Doing my best ;-) For the first time ever i crunch seti, my cache is filled up only with AP-WUs. __W__ _______________________________________________________________________________ |

Master database queries/second 1,305 It could have been the daily stats being generated, but since Matt commented & didn't mention that maybe not. SETI@home classic workunits: 93,865 CPU time: 863,447 hours Join the [url=http://tinyurl.com/8y46zvu]BP6/VP6 User Group[ |

Don’t do that people… :-) It is beginning to be a pain. I have 170 waiting on one machine. Then you have little incidents where three different hosts, using three different versions of the software, all arrive at the same general results yet the one using the most recent software is marked as 'Invalid'. Not very encouraging... Someone care to explain why that was marked as Invalid? |

I suspect there are exactly three persons that know how the AP validator works (i.e. what parameters are checked with what error levels): Josh, Eric and Joe. I know roughly what is checked on MB - number and type of signals and some scores attached to the individual signals. With MB any tasks that has more than 50% match to the canonical one will be valid. I would assume it works similarly for AP. The number and type of signals found by those three closely related apps was the same, so something in the score must have been too different - beyond our ability to check, that is in the uploaded result file, not in stderr. Why you are repeatedly coming up inconclusive against r1316 might need investigation. A person who won't read has no advantage over one who can't read. (Mark Twain) |

The only thing I see it's the Boinc version. You have .52 they have .28 Tim |

Not very encouraging... That is of no consequence to the validity of results. Boinc only provides the infrastructure - what task is run when, what project to contact for tasks, for how much work to ask, etc. the science is all done by the respective applications. If something goes wrong there, the app is at fault not boinc. [the only exception that springs to mind being the problem that AP may not get boinc 'suspend' orders under some circumstances, that's something where the API is probably involved - that's the bit that handles communication between boinc and the apps] A person who won't read has no advantage over one who can't read.

Im starting to see the occasional -12 again, Is anyone else? And is there a way to tell if its just the work units or my machines? [/quote] Old James |

Not very encouraging... And even then, I'd expect all versions of BOINC to be sending the suspend orders - by that stage, the API code responsible for listening for them and acting on them has been compiled and linked into the science application. Again, fixing it is outside the end-user's control. |

-12 errors are nvidia related. Not your fault. With each crime and every kindness we birth our future. |

-12 errors are nvidia related. But you can try x41zc. It will reduce them. With each crime and every kindness we birth our future. |

-12 errors are nvidia related. They do tend to be application specific, with the optimised applications having a much reduced, and still reducing, incidence compared to the stock applications - though I don't think we're down to zero yet. |

Im starting to see the occasional -12 again, Is anyone else? I wonder why in all those years we never came up with a FAQ entry for that ::) It is the units in conjunction with the app. -12 are connected with a certain triplet condition - or a number of conditions. The original NVidia design did not account properly for those conditions - rather than finding a way to calculate it throws an error. Apparently that's a design flaw not a bug [side glance @ Jason]. Over the years intensive development by Jason has all but abolished -12. The stock applications (6.08/6.09/6.10) will throw a lot of them. The latest public installer based release x41g only throws a few. the x41zc currently in public beta has to my knowledge completely abolished them. IOW nothing to worry about and nothing you can do, besides doing a manual upgrade to x41zc. A person who won't read has no advantage over one who can't read. (Mark Twain) |
