SSD and Bionic???
(Message 1619836)
Posted 28 Dec 2014 by Glenn Green Post: Is there any reason to believe that using the SSD as the data directory is bad for the SSD, or will shorten its life? My PC has no HDD currently, but I could run with a virtual drive or get a cheap HDD if need be... |

Posted 10 Dec 2014 by Glenn Green Post: Confirmed for me, too. Installed Chrome, and the link from SETI's account page works fine. I don't want to keep Chrome, so can anyone help with what needs to be done to get IE to work? It worked fine before SETI ran out of work, if that helps narrow it down. |

Posted 9 Dec 2014 by Glenn Green Post: I like the "BOINC Statistics for the WORLD!" page that is linked from the account page. Lately, I am getting an error: "Fatal error: Call to undefined function: str_split() in /home/setisy/public_html/stats/boinc-individual.php(1) : regexp code(1) : eval()'d code(1) : regexp code on line 1". Is there a permanent problem with the site, or a different link that might work? |

Which "on multiprocessors, use at most" line to use
(Message 1449730)
Posted 4 Dec 2013 by Glenn Green Post: Thanks. 75% runs 6 CPU tasks at a time, and keeps one core (two processors) free for the ATI card. I only see AP units on the graphics card, but I have had several in the past few days... |

(Message 1449662)
Posted 3 Dec 2013 by Glenn Green Post: But why the two separate lines in the preferences? They both seem the same, except one uses % and the other is an integer. I have 75% selected now, and am running 6 tasks. I assume that is 3 processors and 3 hyperthreads, but I don't know how to tell for sure. |

Posted 3 Dec 2013 by Glenn Green Post: and why are there two of them. I cannot see the difference... I have a quad core, with hyperthreading. Do I count that as 4 processors or 8? I have an ATI card that can do GPU crunching, and I am trying to decide how many processors or cores to keep free... Does the GPU need an actual core free or is a hyperthread enough? |

Posted 20 Jul 2010 by Glenn Green Post: Well, I did find the preferences menu mentioned. I had seen this before, but I discounted this as the cause, because I don't see any setting for the cache size. I did hit clear, and suddenly downloaded 50 WUs. This is a little over 1 day's worth, but not enough to clear the 3-day outtage. Maybe it will continue to creep on its own. |

Posted 19 Jul 2010 by Glenn Green Post: Yes, Bob, I am only trying to get 4 days worth to get past the 3-day down times. Thank you for all your ideas tho. Maybe you hit it when you said I had a lot of pending credit. I can't do anything about that. I have an XP PC running the same preferences, and there is a nice 4 day cache and all is well. Its just this quad core I am having trouble with. |

Posted 19 Jul 2010 by Glenn Green Post: That checkbox seems to apply only to NVIDIA GPUs, but I selected it anyway so I coult try Lunatic's app for the ATI cards, not done yet, wanted to fix this cache issue first. The No work messages for GPU and AP5 are understandable--but why wouldn't boinc automatically get WUs for the other apps? |

Posted 19 Jul 2010 by Glenn Green Post: Which version of boinc ? Is it set to use all 4 cores ? are you using gpu's to crunch that makes a lot of differance From what i see you have a lot of wu pending credit that might have something to do with it[/quote] 6.10.58 Yes, using 100% of processors. I don't relly see why there is a preference for both the number of processors, and the percentage of total processors. |

Posted 19 Jul 2010 by Glenn Green Post: I have been unable to solve this by searching the forums. I have a 4-processor system running Win7 64-bit. WUs take about 5 hours. No matter what I set the "keep X extra days work on hand", I can only get 6 extra WUs. That is only a total of 10-12 hours. I must be missing a setting somewhere... |

Posted 8 Mar 2007 by Glenn Green Post: Hmmm, you may want to try issuing the ipconfig /flushdns command from the command prompt to see if that helps. Very true, but all my work did report, it was just not getting new work. A manual update just resulted in two work units downloading, so at least I have a couple to keep me occupied for 1.5 hours. Maybe things will settle in the mean time. Thanks. |

Posted 8 Mar 2007 by Glenn Green Post: Well from looking at the Berkeley network graphs it would appear they had a problem here on the main project starting around 0400 PST and lasted for about 4 hours. I have tried that. And resetting the project. I did not detach/reattach, because I thought I would see if I am alone here first. |

What can I try on my end? Is the problem on my end? Anyone else seeing this? Well, I guess the posts were well hidden then, cause I don't see any of em. |
