We hope that other UC Berkeley astronomers will find uses for the huge computing capabilities of SETI@home for SETI or related areas like cosmology and pulsar research. If this happens, SETI@home will start distributing work again. We'll keep you posted about this.

The temp was recently -108F/-77.8C at Mt Washington in NY.

Abortion is NOT Contraception.

Contraception Prevents ABORTION.

In future cases, we should reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell,

Would be interesting to see any video of it occurring

I am still amazed at how so many people still do not wear masks, leaving the masks dangling uselessly around their necks as ornaments in case they get challenged. Or when actually wearing a mask, they position their mask to cover up only their mouths leaving their noses clear to transmit and receive COVID. Too many people really seem to not to get the idea about infection or even that we have a continuing expensive deadly pandemic.

It's good to see that the RAIB, at least, is still doing its job properly.

However, SETI@home is not disappearing. The web site and the message boards will continue to operate. We hope that other UC Berkeley astronomers will find uses for the huge computing capabilities of SETI@home for SETI or related areas like cosmology and pulsar research. If this happens, SETI@home will start distributing work again. We'll keep you posted about this.

I'm guess the hibernation is why I haven't gotten any new projects.

Does anyone know if and or when we will start getting work?

I got my first haircut after lock down.

I needed it.

it is almost impossible to compare numbers. And the true numbers will not be revealed until months after this is all over

April 26, 2020.


As we look to the months that lie ahead, we must ask the question: How can we build back better? There is no returning to yesterday — there is only moving forward. In the months ahead, employers will need to rethink how workplaces can be safer. Our health care system will have to become harder and more resilient. Our technology must improve. This pandemic has altered New York, and we have been through hell, but we must learn the lessons of this crisis to reimagine society for the better.

Here's what else you need to know tonight:

1. Today I outlined a phased plan to safely reopen New York at the appropriate time, taking a regional approach. Phase one will be to reopen low-risk construction and manufacturing businesses in parts of the state that have experienced a 14-day decline in the hospitalization rate. Phase two will open certain industries based on priority and risk level. (Businesses considered "more essential" with inherent low risks of infection in the workplace and to the customer will be prioritized.) Officials are closely monitoring the hospitalization rate, the infection rate, and other key health indicators, and will make adjustments to the plan based on this crucial data.

2. There will be a two-week waiting period in-between phases of this plan to monitor the effect. This will help ensure that the hospitalizations and infection rates are not increasing as some workers begin to return to work.

3. Businesses and industries will create plans that include new measures to protect employees and consumers. The physical workplace will have to be reimagined to be safer, and businesses must implement processes that lower the risk of infection. The state is consulting with local leaders in each region and industry to formulate these plans.

4. Multi-state coordination is key, especially in downstate New York, where the outbreak has been more severe. We will work with neighboring states to ensure safe and consistent policies. In downstate New York, special attention will be taken to ensure the safety of low-income communities.

5. Hospitalizations fall again. Yesterday, the total number of hospitalizations fell to 13,839 — returning to the level of March 31. This is a positive trend, but it is still far higher than we would like to see. I am very saddened to say we lost 367 New Yorkers yesterday — down from 437 the previous day. Every day, this is the worst, most devastating news that I must give to New Yorkers.

6. The L Train tunnel project is complete months early and under budget. A project that repaired two subway tubes connecting Brooklyn to Manhattan, which were damaged during Superstorm Sandy, is complete ahead of schedule. The innovative project, which combined technologies in a novel way to avoid what would have been a highly disruptive total shutdown of the L Train, showed the importance of thinking outside the box when we are faced with challenges. (Despite this milestone, New Yorkers are still being asked to avoid taking mass transit unless they are essential workers.)

Tonight's "Deep Breath Moment": New York essential workers will be honored with an air show on Tuesday. The US Navy's Blue Angels and the Air Force Thunderbirds will fly over the New York Metropolitan area as a tribute to all the workers on the frontlines of this pandemic. "This is our way of showing that we are all in this together and that America's spirit will prevail," said Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David Goldfein and Navy Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Michael Gilday in a joint statement.

So why not set NNT and allow the rest of us the chance to get a few?

Yes, a powerful 'State of the Nation' address. I think much of the same analysis could be applied to the UK too.

Well, the replica has finally caught up and is back in sync.

More as curiosity, to try to learn something, since i not do AP

Are the AP spliters in a endless loop?

Since yesterday they remains on the same tape and no changes on the activities 7 channels in progress and 7 done.

I have tried recording it but the quality is appalling.

Almost sounds to me assuming that hardware does not need replacing that the weekly maintenance is done via pushing a button remotely?

Have not heard any trains going by my location last 36 hours here in Fort Worth TX metro area. I live about 1 mile from a major North / South Union Pacific freight line that's also used by AMTRAK.
The Fort Worth U.P. freight storage / switching yard is about 10 miles to the North.

Usually there is one train running in either direction every hour. The silence is deafining.

It seems that folding@home is researching COVID-19 https://www.guru3d.com/news-story/foldinghome-put-your-cpu-and-gpu-in-use-against-the-corona-covid-19-virus.html, has anyone done anything with them? I don't see them as a BOINC listed project.

I was not far truth when I wrote that SETI@home was committing suicide with Science United

Are they going to put a 31 March deadline on all tasks?

It does not want my done tasks?

Is that true, SETI is done crunching. Too bad almost no warning. Could not even return last tasks done.

Is this issue still present? I noticed most of the servers show as running but I still have zero tasks I keep getting Communication Deferred.

Still waiting for the tasks to begin!!

15 Dec 2019, 0:39:10 UTC Completed, validation inconclusive
16 Dec 2019, 19:24:30 UTC Completed, validation inconclusive
17 Dec 2019, 21:52:05 UTC Completed, waiting for validation

And right now some 51 error task in my task list, and next nothing I can do but only watch.

I've had enough of all Windows bashing

For every one of his Windows hating posts, 10 Windows users leave SETI, and tell their friends about it.

Not a nice thing to have to do, again, at a weekend.

In another thread. It was reported that the "limits would be increased slowly" ...

A full forum search doesn't turn up that phrase, at least in the last 6 months. Who reported, when and where? Was it a project admin, or just wishful thinking by a volunteer?

Hitler's crimes are so petty. That dismissing his evil by comparing them with Trump is ok?

If running the CUDA50 application, it would be worth seeing how 2 WUs at a time go; while not a high-end card, the GTX 1660Tis are very capable (particularly compared to what was highend when CUDA50 made it's appearance).
2 WUs at a time could result in more work per hour than just 1 WU.

And are only an issue if you allow the people that want to attack your system physical access to it to set up the attack. No physical access, no breach possible.

Your answer doesn't help me at all. Time machine? I guess I'll just have to wait until I can see the movie myself.

. Any particular reason for stopping the GPUs from crunching? That is a lot of processing power sitting idle ...

Why would I upgrade every time there is a new driver, when the old one works perfectly? Newer drivers will not make the GPU crunch faster, or better.

This program was a huge problem for me. If you installed this driver and see that GeForce Experience is loaded, get it the heck out of your system. I had no more issues after I removed that program.

When I installed BOINC on the new computer, somehow many SetiAtHome jobs are being run (over 10). I think it's pointless to cycle back and forth between jobs (data sets).
Why not just crunch one, upload the results, then start on another?

Yes, his computers last 'contacted' the project, mid-morning or so, on the 15th of this month.

Do you really need to?
I'm not being facetious, but unless you've got a new game and you need a new driver in order to play it, or the new driver addresses an issue that you're having with your present games, or you've got a new video card that's not supported by your current driver then there is no need to upgrade your video driver. Ever.

You can always just abort any VHAR tasks when you get them instead of crunching them.

I am not getting new work units and old ones are just sitting there, the status page is very unclear as to what is going on.

One thing I haven't figured out yet is why each of my Pis have 2 IP addresses. That is weird... :\

What is it

Do you ever just check in for applications in your Software catalog instead of searching for standalone installation from vague internet references?

Anyone having same problem as below? I've been receiving this message on 4 computers since the last 40~50 minutes, any yet I find no one reporting it? Is it for me only?

The Northern Line issue is an electronic failure.

Ain't technology grand. :-)

I read that anydesk is free for personal use but I did not see any details like how many connection can be used of if it only works in the subnet, etc. It appears you can drag and drop stuff using anydesk. Is that included in the free-for-personnel-use ? I cannot do that in my $17 a year subscription although text can be pasted.

Perhaps my USA IP address triggers it?

sadly i found no remote viewing software that works. correctly. from home net work to across the city etc.

What can cause the huge spikes in Munin graphics for Average turnaround? Average usually is around 30-40 hours but the spikes are around 200-350 hours. Someone is returning a lot of long overdue tasks in batches? It must be huge batches for the average to jump so high.

2) Those same Arecibo tapes have contained a number (a large number at times) of VLAR tasks, which will dampen down the demand from NVidia users.

The not vlar WUs from the Aricebo files are taking me twice as long to process, so it was a good tactical move to include these files during WOW.

The new Navi 5700 and 5700XT are useless for compute currently. The drivers are not ready for compute. All projects that rely on AMD OpenCL drivers are producing nothing but garbage results and invalids. The AMD developers and the Khronos group are aware of the problem but not a peep from either of them about what the real problem is or when to expect a fix.

Hmm, here's one big organisation that will ditch technology.
USN to ditch touch screen controls

When I use the alt–tab BT is seen as a window when I go to select it with the Windows key are a combination then press enter it disappear again not displaying on my screen

I'm curious as to why my team has a start day of March 1, 1999 if SETI started up in August 1999

https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/team_display.php?teamid=20253

There seems to be quite a backlog in validation, far more so than results ready to send. Who does the validating-SETI or crunchers?

It seems to be a gtx-400 but cant even function as one in a normal motherboard setup.

Hi Bernie,

I have to wonder: Users that do not normally have their computers hidden will hide them for the so-called WOW event. What do they have to hide I wonder?

Because you have your hosts hidden

Not enough cpu allocated to support the gpu task?

I’ve always been under the impression that the restrictions were put in place more as a precautionary measure in preventing a large amount of resends in the event that a host trashes its entire WU cache due to hardware or software issues on the host’s end. Combined with the developers feelings that you’d never need more than 100 anyway based on the processing rate of the time.

Do you have evidence or a source that says the restrictions were put into place specifically for the case of work returned after an outage?

modern GPUs and app developments have over run the old restrictions that were put in place at a time when processing 1 WU took an entire day. now we have GPUs that can do the same task in less than 30 seconds.

but this one that lasts 2:10 is and I hope everyone can view it

What kind of system is this that you need risers for only 2 GPUs?

Never heard a peep out of the general rabble until this year.

Do you have the opencl drivers installed?

Yes you are all right, they have started this way to early.

This why I'm scared to make the switch to Linux, as there is no one close by to help me.. ( Would love to ) but I'm PC dumb!

Steve

Only the WUs crunched between aug. 15th 16: 00 UTC and aug.29 1600 UTC will count.

The reason why we have a 100 WU per device limit is because DA figured that was enough work to keep a 1 core Intel cpu busy for 10 days back at the beginning of the project.

Why do we still have the screensaver when no screens today need saving.

Wait a minute! If you have 2 GPUs in a PC, BOINC will only see 2. How can you tell it you have, say, 4 if you only have 2?

How do I un register from WoW event, as feel people storing WU's are just cheating the system?

So, if you have one of these older machines stashed away, try converting it to run Linux and just the CUDA Special App. It will run the Special App just as well as a New machine without having to spend money on a new machine. Basically a Win, Win situation for You and SETI.

Still have to wonder if the performance boost really justifies the hassle of SSDs.

Good to know. how do you get 64 GPUs?

The question could be: Why the servers still sends new WU above the 100 limit to a non productive host?

Can one of the regular gurus have a looksee at this computer's tasks, 33,000 seems a tad excessive for built in graphics ;-)

8572161

It's fairly obvious the pc is doing nothing with the tasks at the moment despite it polling every day, but how on earth can anyone amass that many tasks?

Phil.

They told me Linux was secure and Android is Linux

. And continues to be so here!

. . {edit} and now the uploads and downloads are stalling ... Maybe they are getting ready to replace the server ... 'bruno' was it?

What kind of results you guys getting from the 1050ti. I saw these cards on eBay for $28.99. Too good to be real?

Martin, there is only one thing wrong with your explanation. The cars in the pictures aren't damaged. They aren't dented and full of holes, like this from large hail.

The actual hailstones were relatively small, less than 1cm in diameter, and nothing like the golf-ball sized hail seen at times in severe storms in the US.

. but come back for the Seti Germany WOW contest in mid-August.

You might want to read this thread. Setting up Linux to crunch CUDA90 and above for Windows users

Fun and games on the left coast I see. Upload server having a very difficult time handling the huge volume of uploads from the noise bombs. Out of cpu work again, gpu cache continues to drop because stuck uploads prevent downloading of any new work.

. . Completely out of work here :(

Stephen

<sigh>

I'd love to know the trick to clear the stalled uploads. Nothing I have tried has allowed them to upload. Several thousand uploads pending on each host.

My experience with Linux is very limited, but I am absolutely open to it if that is what will provide the best results. Can you recommend a Linux distro? How do I get the special cuda app?

HOORAY!

I was just now able to FINALLY download and install B.O.I.N.C.

But, there's still no work from S.E.T.I.

Although I will admit, I bet the ride through the Rockies would be worth it. Not much to look out here in the midwest.

. . But why change? Those 750ti's are doing a good job and usig very little power?

It should just work. You have the 418 drivers which supports both cards.

Most common riser problem is a "Cuda initialization problem" which starts and then postpones each task in cache after 30 seconds, resulting in all tasks showing waiting to run rather than ready to start, and eventually aborting due to too many restarts.

and no more connections than necessary

Assuming there's a way to do this on Linux as well, just haven't found it yet.

I'd see how a 1050Ti compares price wise to the others.

. I am not a Linux guru but that suggests to me either you did not set the execute permissions on one or more files or you have BOINC installed under the wrong user ... for what my opinion is worth.

Shut down machine. Install video card. Boot.

* A GUI PRC password

You only need BT on one PC,

If it seems blocked try the following command on the BOINC machine "sudo iptables -L" (without the quotes and yes thats an uppercase L) and see what it lists. The computers tab in BT will tell you if it thinks its a password issue under the status column.

It never shows in the “scan” list and always shows not connected.

This statement seems contradictory to me. If it shows in the Computers list but just with status of Not Connected. The computer is "found".
It is just not able to make the connection from the BT host computer to the target computer because of a password issue or for some reason BT can't detect the BOINC client running.

Can you ping the Linux box's IP address from the Win box?

Never shows up in the list? Or never changes status from Not Connected to Connected?

Your present poor output from the GTX 750Ti is because it's running the wrong application, twice over. Not only is it running CUDA, but the wrong version of CUDA.

If you take a peek at Bernie Vine's machines he is running a GTX1660ti on one of them under windows which would give you an idea of he relative performance with that OS

until an Allegheny 2-6-6-6 is restored to operation

Ah drive letters. An issue that all Operating Systems suffer from in this day & age, including Linux.
Don't you think it is time the programmers return 2 drive letters (A & B) to the pool?
After all, floppy drives are obsolete.

That was easy. I just got 10 of my friends to stop crunching for SETI.

Thanks Jeff.

Do we know why the recovery was necessary?

because he is likely nearer his exchange than I am

Which is slightly annoying because my exchange is also an SSC (Sector Switching Centre) apart from housing the local exchange.

how does it get past the rules on product description?

R any of u alluding to any foul plays, here?

Jack Daniels marketed in the UK is Old No.7 Tennessee sour mash Whiskey.

the last W10 computer had last contact the 11 Feb 2019, 4:55:16 UTC ... with 4 pending tasks and a lot of errored ones ..

Is there a reason that BT is so far off on it's estimations?

Could someone please post a pic of the shirt for Stephen?

Not sure about anyone else, but caches are full and it's been about 12 hours since I've seen a stalled download ...

The gadget I spoke off replaces a Wifi device by being powered by a USB port and plugging into an RJ47 port. There is no driver(s) needed because it is smarter than your average "dongle" :)

Guess I still haven't made you understand. So what good is converting a USB port on the Odroid to a RJ-45 jack if there is no matching available RJ-45 jack on the switch to plug it into? Or do you think that a switch has USB ports to convert to a RJ-45 jack? A switch is just a box with RJ-45 jacks. No other ports or connections.

Greetings,

Well, the Linux box has now acquired some credit and I'm still being told the computer does not exist. :(

Have a great day! :)

Siran

Yep downloads are stalled.
just as I posted things got unstuck, whining often works, that is one of the basic laws of physics.

I pointed another PI user over here. He is asking about "running graphics" on his PI.

So which computer is it?

I try and limit my impact to the servers by just reporting a modest amount of finished tasks at each connection.

Will be interesting to see where the GTX 1660Ti ends up.

We are only few who use this spoofed builds, all are heavy users, with high performance crunchers and besides me (who knows almost nothing) the others are well trained on the "boinc mysteries". We All care about the SETI project and the integrity of the DB and try to do all we can to preserve it. That's is one of the main reason why we keep this builds on a closed circle.

I know a lot uses the reschedulers (there are a lot of them who works fine), and nobody say nothing about and the impact on the Wu cache is exactly the same

".....Again to releave the pressure on the servers to give everybody else what they need until it's time to start to fill up the buffers again.
Why? To use the advantage of GPU spoofed Boinc executable to actually benefit the servers instead of doing DDOS war amongst all other users. Use the benefits of larger cache to ease the pressure instead as a polite favour. "

To put it in Another perspective, my hosts doesn't even try to download after the servers comes live. Aprox. 12 hours after give or take a few hours the first host is allowed to Contact to download workunits, then about one hour later, the other one gets allowance and so on.
We don't want to be part of the flood of users want to get their share of WU's because it's empty or near empty.

Hi Bernie

In the event log, does it indicate that you have Opencl, ie this is what it looks like in my event log at startup

11/03/2019 15:02:44 OpenCL: NVIDIA GPU 0: GeForce GTX 580 (driver version 391.35, device version OpenCL 1.1 CUDA, 1536MB, 1203MB available, 1604 GFLOPS peak)

Regards

You need to use the proper Nvidia drivers to use OpenCL

I lost my seti account when i changed my email address to a new computer I tried to get in and it said I already have a account at this address how do I get my project back

I would suggest to just keep running the stock repository BOINC and apps until you get a baseline with SoG eventually and you get more familiar with Linux. Then you could then try out the CUDA 9 app by removing the stock BOINC installation and installing the All-in-One package and try out the CUDA 9 app for comparison.

Also with Linux you could start processing on that 1060 with the CUDA9 application.

I was under the impression a gtx 1060 would average near 7 minutes under Windows/SOG as well as Linux/SOG.

ANY driver that does not know the size & height of his Goods vehicle should not be on the road.

The 11 foot 8 Bridge (formally known as the Norfolk Southern–Gregson Street Overpass and nicknamed The Can-Opener) is a railroad bridge in Durham, North Carolina, United States, that has attracted media coverage and popular attention because tall vehicles such as trucks, buses, and RVs frequently collide with the unusually low overpass,

GPUUG were always the go-between, but they have been very quiet recently.

Would the paypal work around

Paypal is the spawn of Satan.

of course we have the social oddballs that choose to hide donations.

Thanks, but I think you only need to register, that's all I did, but a long time ago, >10 years. I don't pay.

In the GTX 1660 thread, you mentioned buying from a firm in Bradford. I don't know if that was my favourite local store, but I had a look anyway:

AMD Ryzen 3 Motherboard Bundle for £219.99 assembled and available from stock.

CPU is a Ryzen 3 2200G which has the integrated GPU. We've had a bit of trouble with the drivers for those, but it should settle down in time. Worth including in your search, anyway.

I'm getting 11-17mins a wu out of My Asus 970 Turbo w/a 100MHz overclock and the fan at 100%,

Interesting, did you try the 1660 in the Linux box too?

See, the project is back. But the download issues remain the same.

An honest and fair reply. Each to his own as they say. Female company is not everyone's cup of tea :-)

Boincstats reports that the number of active users is now closer to 92K than 93K. Hardly surprising.

Really glad to hear that single 50/60's men have something useful to do with their lives again. Those of us with wives and partners managed quite well.

Hi

Thanks...I have read your post but that is not my issue...I have resolved restarting on my own with the original setup and original stats...

Cheers...

That all depends on:
A: GPU
B: Windows version.

Please let us know when those security patches make it into the Ubuntu/NVIDIA/Launchpad open source drivers.

Chip maker Nvidia has released its first security update for 2019 (ID 4772), fixing eight CVE flaws in its Windows and Linux graphics display drivers. Users are advised to patch as soon as possible.

The company scores the flaws using the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) v3, which shows five with a rating of 8.8, equating to ‘high’ severity rather than ‘critical’.

That’s because none can be exploited remotely and require local access, for example by executing malware on the target system.

Depending on the flaw, an exploit could lead to a denial of service state, code execution, information disclosure or, potentially worst of all, to an escalation of privileges in six of the vulnerabilities.

Affected products include the hugely popular GeForce, Quadro, and NVS, as well as the specialist Tesla graphics cards.

The full list in bulletin 4772 is: CVE-2019-5665, CVE-2019-5666, CVE-2019-5667, CVE-2019-5668, CVE-2019-5669, CVE-2019-5670, CVE-2019-5671, and CVE-2018-6260.

Despite being a 2.2 (low) on CVSSv3, the last of these is perhaps the most interesting because the fix emerged from research published last November into side-channel attacks on GPUs. Nvidia describes it as a…

Vulnerability that may allow access to application data processed on the GPU through a side channel exposed by the GPU performance counters.

This affects all GPU makers, including AMD and Intel as well as Nvidia and patching it requires several manual Nvidia control panel steps in addition to applying the driver update (instructions HERE).

Applying the latest drivers on Windows should bring users to version 419.17 (Linux versions vary depending on the distro).

Which brings us to the issue of how to update. Most users might have to do this manually via the vendor’s website although Nvidia offers a utility, GeForce Experience, which will helpfully alert users as and when new security updates become available.

Bernie you need a cc_config.xml with the use all GPU option set in your BOINC data folder when using mismatched GPU's.

<cc_config>
 <options>
   <use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus>
 </options> 
</cc_config>

Cheers.

The Navajo code talkers were commended for the skill, speed, and accuracy they demonstrated throughout the war. At the Battle of Iwo Jima, Major Howard Connor, 5th Marine Division signal officer, had six Navajo code talkers working around the clock during the first two days of the battle. These six sent and received over 800 messages, all without error. Connor later stated, "Were it not for the Navajos, the Marines would never have taken Iwo Jima

I can remember when we got our first computer with a HDD- 20MB.
After dealing with 180k & 360k floppies, it was more space than I could ever imagine using.

All photos I posted are appearing on my end of the forum thread including the photo I posted again below. Do you see my screen saver photo below?

Success! Ageless, thank you for your patience and help.

The FIX: I deleted the Nvidia driver and windows automatically started to reinstall the Nvidia driver. I let it proceed and if it continued to NOT show the "Time, Power, Frequency Grid Display" then I would have deleted the driver again and reinstalled it manually as per your advice. However after windows reinstalled the Nvidia driver, I reeboted and the graphic finally appeared in the "Time, Power, Frequency Grid". The display also appears successfully inside the BOINC manager under "Show graphics".

? ?

@Bernie
Have you ever eaten at a Taco Bell?

Ok. I was looking for an email notification of replies but not seeing any only recently returned . I'll read the cited document.

Bernie, I can't believe it's just beer or water for you!

Mmmm... Quite odd.

I'm assuming you really mean 18.04.1 LTS? (The 10.04 is from rather long ago...)


If you keep to the normal repositories, then things should just simply work...

From this article "Tips to Speed up Ubuntu", there is:

sudo apt-get install indicator-cpufreq


Restart your computer and supposedly you get a nice graphical display on your Gnome desktop to see and set the cpu frequency...

There's lots more in "Set CPU governor to performance in 18.04" that runs through multiple methods and how to override the Ubuntu defaults automatically after boot up. (And then there will be some magical systemd way of doing things but that's for others to explore!)

The Ubuntu forums have your answer:

Setting to High Performance

There's two very good solutions given there:

* One using commands (as root or "sudo") on the commandline to directly tweak the running kernel;
* Or better, do the install of "indicator-cpufreq" to tweak however you like from the desktop notifications panel.

As to power settings, as it was a gaming machine I had the BIOS set for "high power" I did not change it for Linux.

It's not the BIOS that's causing this, it's a fairly simple setting in Linux.

In the tortoise thread, Toby eventually gave us the answers in message 725163.

That was 10 years ago, but it's worth testing to see if they still apply.

We are talking about the same task types correct? You can't compare a BLC cpu task with a Arecibo VLAR task and expect them to compute in the same time.

The blinking cursor disappeared when I checked the monitor connection which actually looked fine. This led to opening windows with 12 updates required. From there it looked like I did install the driver BUT there is no update yet on the BOINC manager screen.
Have a horrible feeling that I may have to return it...
