Sounding good. I recommend you take it one step at a time. Assuming you're crunching good work (sensible run times), sit back and take a breather. Wait for the servers to come back up, so you can report the work and - crucially - test that you can still download new work. If that's OK, you can just put back the <flops> correction, and the job's finished. |

Sorry for to be offtopic.. I know, the ReSchedule V1.9 tool don't work with SETI@home Beta Test. But, is there a way to get let it run there also with some mods? Maybe two instances of ReSchedule tools separately? Different installation paths. And mods of .xml files? Yes, maybe lot of handwork, but worth to do it. ![]() |

Sorry for to be offtopic.. I thought maybe you have tested it in past. Since my account was deleted over at the Lunatics forum, I have no change to get in contact with Marius. You know his SETI@home account number? SETI@home have a lot of Marius's.. ![]() |

As it happens, I have never even downloaded Marius's program, but I can read the posts about it. If Marius has time to revise the program, then I am sure the will have time to read here as well, and will see your suggestion. |

How you protect your GPUs for VLAR WUs? ![]() |

How you protect your GPUs for VLAR WUs? I use a vbs script which Fred W originally developed, and which I have subsequently tweaked and enhanced to my own satisfaction. Because it's a plain-text file, I have full control over it, and I can customise it to suit changing circumstances - such as the arrival of Fermi. |

And you could make a tool out of it (like the ReSchedule tool) for dummies like me which can rewrite MAIN and BETA WUs? :-D ![]() |

And you could make a tool out of it (like the ReSchedule tool) for dummies like me which can rewrite MAIN and BETA WUs? :-D No, I'm not going to do that, because from my life outside SETI and BOINC, I know that if you develop a tool and supply it to others, you have a duty of care to maintain and support it - and if you don't, people keep pestering you with an expectation that you will. To me, SETI / BOINC is a hobby and a pleasure. The moment it becomes a duty, the fun goes out of it. I made that mistake once, when I agreed (under pressure) to become a Mod. That experience was so unpleasant I nearly left BOINC altogether: I was coaxed back by friendly emails from other projects, not this one. I'm not going to make that mistake again. |

I understand that Richard doesn't want to write a ReSchedule tool. Dose anyone know a way to shift Fermi 6.10 tasks over to the cpu? Thank you Richard for all you have done for Seti/Boinc ![]() |

Is there anyone who got work for his Fermi? And (if yes) what platform do you use? Windows x64, GTX 470, Optimized apps and 610 executable, no work... |

All tasks for computer 4292666 Automatic download while I was asleep. 32-bit Windows XP, GTX 470, optimised apps + stock v6.10 exe, no platform tag in app_info. Unfortunately, they're all VLAR like task 1635955802, and my rebranding script didn't pick them up. Where's that support guy when you need him........ ........ah, I see. My script works on the distinctive <rsc_fpops_est> signature of VLARs, to save the overhead of opening and reading each actual data file - which means it works during downloading, unlike ReScheduler. Er, worked. The new server-side DCF adjuster fiddles with <rsc_fpops_est> ...... WAAAAAAARRRGGGHHHH! Berkeley Broke My Script! Support! |

Richard, Any idea if this is going to have any effect on the rescheduler? ![]() PROUD MEMBER OF Team Starfire World BOINC |

Richard, Not the same effect, I think. As far as I know, Marius does open every individual file and check the AR directly. There may be other side-effects, as Jason and I were discussing in 176 hours to completion??, but it's too early to draw conclusions on that. |

If you read through the top half of this thread, you will see the process that Richard guided me through to get mine working.. MadMac I'm following instructions from message 1001523 using tool 1.7 from Lunatics (I couldn't see any other place to get it from)running it from C:\ProgramData\BOINC running windows7 ultimate 64bit. When I run ReSchedule tool I get the following log Reschedule version 1.7 Time: 18-06-2010 09:06:43 CPU tasks: 0 (0 VLAR/VHAR) GPU tasks: 0 (0 VLAR/VHAR) No reschedule needed

Others more qualified than me will have to answer that, but Im guessing so.. You might have better luck with version 1.9 |
