1) Message boards : SETI@home Science : Scientists trace mystery ‘alien signals’ to distant galaxy (Message 1767493) Posted 25 Feb 2016 by Stephen Richard Post: All, Was any of our work used to trace this signal? https://www.rt.com/news/333551-alien-signals-radio-space/

2) Questions and Answers : Preferences : Limiting Memory (Message 888583) Posted 26 Apr 2009 by Stephen Richard Post: Hi all, I was trying to update one of my settings for memory usage and I made the following pref changes for my default profile Use at most Enforced by version 5.8+ 50% of memory when computer is in use Use at most Enforced by version 5.8+ 1% of memory when computer is not in use My question is. Am I reading this wrong? Does Computer in use mean BOINC is using the computer or is that when I am actively using the computer (aka suspend when in use?)

3) Questions and Answers : Wish list : Preferences on a per computer basis (and local) (Message 77065) Posted 6 Feb 2005 by Stephen Richard Post: Not to mention the fact that I never have gotten the home/work/school to actually stay they will ususally default back to home so that does not even work right. I can agree it would be nice to set things locally like that or atleast have control over the CPU usages

4) Questions and Answers : Wish list : Multi start and stop times (Message 76801) Posted 5 Feb 2005 by Stephen Richard Post: Something like that would be useful as well yes, The main reason I can see a need for something like this is since Bonic uses 100% CPU most times it would be nice to have certain times when I know for a fact that I would not be using my computer that it could run without me having to worry about the CPU usages. > My clients can run all the time but I can imagine why you would need such a > feature. > > > Just an idea : wouldn't it help more to have a blacklist of programs to > watch? > > So BOINC would shutdown all clients and free the memory when activity from one > of those programs is detected? >

5) Questions and Answers : Wish list : Multi start and stop times (Message 76478) Posted 4 Feb 2005 by Stephen Richard Post: I would like to see a way where I can say something like this Process 11AM to 10PM Do not process 10PM to 12 AM Process 12AM to 6 AM instead of having just one time band that you can set to process why not allow it to be adjustable so we can choose the times we want to be able to process

6) Questions and Answers : Windows : exited with zero status but no 'finished' file (Message 63286) Posted 12 Jan 2005 by Stephen Richard Post: Ok, that is fine, I was just afraid that I had been getting alot of corrupt WU's or that they were getting corrupted while on my computer. Thanks all for the reply > > That was the exact message I had in there. Is there any way around it or > is it > > just part of the way the program works? > > Its the way it works.

7) Questions and Answers : Windows : exited with zero status but no 'finished' file (Message 63235) Posted 12 Jan 2005 by Stephen Richard Post: That was the exact message I had in there. Is there any way around it or is it just part of the way the program works? > It means the seti client stopped for some reason, but before it finished > analyzing the data. BOINC usually just restarts seti and it continues > processing the same WU. > > Usually it this: "No heartbeat from core client for 31.000000 sec - exiting" > meaning the BOINC wasn't communicating with seti anymore , so it (seti) > exited. > > Seti writes an appropriate error message to its stderr.txt file so you can > look there. Not BOINCs stderr.txt file, seti uses a folder in the slots > folder, slots/0 or maybe some other number depending. And BOINC sends the > error messages along when it "reports" the result, so you can check your > results if you want to see what the message was. > >

8) Questions and Answers : Windows : exited with zero status but no 'finished' file (Message 63216) Posted 12 Jan 2005 by Stephen Richard Post: Can someone please let me know what causes this? I seem to get this at various times so I am not sure what is causing this

9) Questions and Answers : Wish list : BoincLogX (Message 61256) Posted 6 Jan 2005 by Stephen Richard Post: Thanks for the reply Got it downloaded > You can also get it <a> href="http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/download_network.php">here[/url] > and for a direct download from the author <a> href="http://www.bjoernhenke.de/boinclogx/BoincLogX_Setup_v1.21.exe">here. >

10) Questions and Answers : Wish list : BoincLogX (Message 60863) Posted 5 Jan 2005 by Stephen Richard Post: I saw BoincLogX mentioned in a lower thread and it had the URL of http://www.boinc.dk/download.php?file=BoincLogX_Setup_v1.11.exe I tried this and I get page not found. Anyone have another link?

11) Questions and Answers : Wish list : SETISpy for BOINC (Message 60860) Posted 5 Jan 2005 by Stephen Richard Post: Is there another download for this? I was looking through old threads and saw this but when I try ot says 404 Error > You should try <a> href="http://www.boinc.dk/download.php?file=BoincLogX_Setup_v1.11.exe">this[/url] > one - it has a history implemented > > > > <a> href="http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/forum_reply.php?thread=3067&post=17496"> > S@h Berkeley's Staff Friends Club © [/url] >

12) Questions and Answers : Wish list : CPU Processor Usage Control (Message 60837) Posted 5 Jan 2005 by Stephen Richard Post: But until Classic is no more there is still WU's for it so may as well run it as well. > Hummm, I may be dense but I do not follow you, I am running a p4 3.0 HT on XP > and when I run my game, which uses 35 to 55% and BOINC is running, BOINC drops > to the corresponding percentage of usage. I run numerous programs with BOINC > and have never had any problems.. Why, classic will be no more soon..... >

13) Questions and Answers : Wish list : CPU Processor Usage Control (Message 60326) Posted 4 Jan 2005 by Stephen Richard Post: This is one of the things I would like to see to I run both BOINC SETI@home and Classic SETI@home but BOINC uses 100% or atleast 90% CPU usage so Classic never has any CPU time to actually run. IF there was a way in BOINC or in Classic to set the MaxCPU setting I would use it so that both programs could get equal CPU time.

14) Questions and Answers : Windows : Expiration date on Work units (Message 39875) Posted 25 Oct 2004 by Stephen Richard Post: Thank you for the answer I was not sure what the time out was setting at. I guess if I decide to take my laptop and leave bonic running I will have to mae sure I empty out the cache or find a way to have it connect at some point while I am gone > It is set to 14 days. This expiration period can unfortunately not been > changed. > >

15) Questions and Answers : Windows : Expiration date on Work units (Message 39767) Posted 24 Oct 2004 by Stephen Richard Post: How is the Expiration (due date) of work units set. Is it set up for 2 week period? or is there another option that is used? I may be traveling with my laptop soon so I wanted to see if I could download a few work units and process them and upload them when I get back Is this possible?

16) Questions and Answers : Preferences : Deleting hosts (Message 37995) Posted 18 Oct 2004 by Stephen Richard Post: Thank you Bill, that is what I thought may be the case, I had let all the WU's go run out and didnt download any new ones I did not know if that would allow me to delete the host or not Oh Well > Once a workunit has been sent to a host it is not possible to delete it. The > only possibility is to merge it with another host if BOINC will let you. >

17) Questions and Answers : Preferences : Deleting hosts (Message 37918) Posted 18 Oct 2004 by Stephen Richard Post: One of my computers is giving me problems and I want to take it off of Bonic for good I want to go ahead and delete the host out of my Computers list There was a option to delete host but now I dont even see that link at all. Did that option disappear? How do we remove hosts that we no longer are using?

18) Questions and Answers : Preferences : Controlling how many WU's to download at one time (Message 26643) Posted 15 Sep 2004 by Stephen Richard Post: Thanks for the answer Quantum It now makes a lot more sence then it did earlier. I guess this is on of those were change happens but sometimes its the wording on those changes that is confusing It would be nice if the web page had better reources on the gettings as to what things actually mean > Lets suppose your computer does a WU for 2.4 hrs. Then it will do 10 WUs per > day. If you set the above option (Connect to network about every ... days) to > "1", BOINC will keep enough work for 24 hrs (10 WUs). If you set it to 0.1 it > must get only 1 WU and will request another after 2.4 hrs. > Its a theory, in fact it will DL 1, 2 or 3 WUs (according to my experience) > Regards > > > <a> href="http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/forum_reply.php?thread=3067&post=17496"> > S@h Berkeley's Staff Friends Club © [/url] >

19) Questions and Answers : Preferences : Controlling how many WU's to download at one time (Message 26440) Posted 14 Sep 2004 by Stephen Richard Post: I seem to have lost a setting that would tell BONIC how many WU's to download and keep in queue at one time. The only thing I can find that sounds like it is connect to the network ___ days is this the same option or is there another way to have it download so many WU's to keep a reserve just in case the schedulers or servers go down again Anyone know anything about this?

20) Questions and Answers : Preferences : Moving Bonic from one Drive to another Drive (Message 26017) Posted 13 Sep 2004 by Stephen Richard Post: Ok I will let the work units run out then I will reinstall unto the network drive Thanks WUWUs can not be moved to another box, if you do you will not get any > credit..... > >
