My understanding is that a `Lost' Work unit is one

the antenna at Arecibo
doesn't do much ,in the way of moving etc
so stills are fine .
the scenery would be great ,the weather would play havoc with a webcam ,but the Server cam ,would let us all see ,in real time
what Activity was happening at the heart of seti.
of course multiple cams[Arecibo & Server rack] would be great
but the bandwidth would have to be small
so the Science projects are kept running .

the two servers are VERY impressive
my question is ...
in the UNlikely event of another Outage
can 1 Server[NEW] carry SETI , or would another
month long outage ensue.
or is there some Redundancy inplace
using NAS/SAS for storage and a 3rd SErver
for backup/restore ?

Re SETI Donations
there would be more Money available IF
International Donations
( outside US Territories)were EASIER to do

Paypal would have to be a Top choice

Well
i'm still only getting about a 1/3 of WU's that actually work
Resetting BOINC ,or the Computer doesn't work.
Aborting Faulty WU's
or
Resetting the Project is The only way I can Force SETI to work.

I have been running SETI 100% of the time.
because If i choose anything else
it just stops
I blame the latest version of BOINC

Hi
I have only ever ran the 1 computer
and don't want to lose any Stats !
Seti shows I have 3 Computers
2 active
I tried to Merge /Delete (2)
but can only SEE a Merge option
How can I DELETE 2 of these Computers
(name chenge after REinstalled XP /HDD crash)

also I've seen seti members with Huge stats
and seemingly only 1 PC ,guess a Farm has been merged
to look like 1 Computer.

of course it's not just the Stats that count
Participating,contributing and of course
the chance of Crunching THAT pulse !!!!

I still have/recieve WUs that `Freeze'
Project resetting and/or WU aborts

Post:
Problem appears to be Fixed

Solution
not reccomended by All it would appear

I used the Reset Project command (Advanced view)

No real solution or answer has yet to be posted by anyone.

I at first thought I was recieving faulty WUs
but it may appear to be later ver of BOINC
and/or Astropulse + the new Boinc ver???

anyway I now have W/us that actually complete.

The answer is that your tasks were restarting continuously and thus not making any progress. The solution is to not throttling the cpu on multicore machines. Has nothing to do with BOINC version or Astropulse/MultiBeam.

Gruß,
Gundolf

[edit] @stormcrow: I can't say anything about unix machines. [/edit]

Thanks
(it did work with throttling previously !)
I wont be changing any settings unless required
other users still seem to have the problem though
(even single CPU core machines)
I had success after Project was reset (and Throttling was still enabled)
