Message 1475586 - Posted: 11 Feb 2014, 7:28:14 UTC - in response to Message 1475521.  

Sorry to change the subject (and perhaps I've missed some big announcement), but why have't I been seeing my stats for SETI@home in the various cross-project statistics sites (e.g. Free-DC, BOINCstats, etc.)? My client GUI shows my progress, which is fine. However it seems like SETI@home isn't pushing numbers out, or perhaps the SETI servers changed something and none of the other sites are pulling the data? SETI@home seems to also be the only project (that I'm working on anyway) which does not show updates outside of the project site.

Anybody have any info?

Exports from SETI@home >> BOINCstats doesn't run since february 6th

Thanks Thomas! Yeah, the forum page is a little busy so I definitely overlooked that thread title.

I appreciate the redirect! :-) Although I wish there was an answer. Lol!

Would posting about Credit New every day have any effect? Nope, so not much point, no matter how bad it is.

No, I think they are correct, the Boinc Combined stats say you have 1.9 million Credits at Seti, and 787,000 Credits at CPDN:

http://boincstats.com/en/stats/-1/user/detail/2736904/projectList

The user at CPDN has called himself Alan, But they both have had a i7 880 with a GT420 running Win 7,
and both have the same signup day, separated by a few hours:

http://climateapps2.oerc.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/show_host_detail.php?hostid=1142417

They also both had a Pentium 4, while they have different signup days, their last contacts to Seti and CPDN were within two days of each other, and they have identical benchmarks:

GRIPE.....LOL
I have 2 astropulse units in my file that show as completed and waiting for validation. Both of these are from 2012....should they somehow be deleted?
Also have 2 timed out units from 2013 that have not been cleared from the list.
Is this a fault of the main frame???

Just curious.

gripe:

Could someone explain to me why the opencl_ati tasks are running over 90 hours each? I have also noticed that the remaining time column is also counting in the wrong direction (increasing not decreasing). This is with a setting of continuous running. If I chage the default to not run when the gpu is busy the elapsed time resets to zero after restarting after a suspension.

Have you tried freeing a CPU core? ie set to run CPU tasks on only 75% of the cores,

Kudos; I don't know what has happened to make crunching so much more efficient but, my machines are smashing work units. AMD Xfire screams after disabling ULPS.

Gripe; WIN 7 or Seti, I don't know but, occasionally my preferences seem to change on their own. I'm sure it's probably me; software updates or something. Also, why can't we have all settings on the host? I would like to be able to go to one place for my preferences.

If you have multiple computers, you will have multiple locations for the settings if you use the hosts. If you want one place for your settings on multiple computers, then use the web based preferences, as probably most people do.

Message 1520791 - Posted: 25 May 2014, 0:53:03 UTC - in response to Message 1520721.  

I'm sorry, I thought I was clear. If the settings or preferences were located on the host or individual PC, I could adjust that host or PC according to its own capabilities. Just as in online gaming, my PC may or may not have the capabilities of another. I would therefore adjust mine in order to be able to play at whatever level my PC was capable of.

The current system of preferences seems to be a bit more complex than necessary. Why should an individual have to set (besides default) home and work preferences at the Web level? If all preferences were at the host level, it wouldn't matter were the device was located.

Otherwise, I have it worked out. Again, I simply need to pay attention to OS and other software updates. Generally, my problem was with ULPS being re-enabled somehow. I've fixed that and I am crushing WUs again.

Peace and good crunching to all.

I'm still confused.
You are able to set preferences at the host level, and those override any web based settings.

I simply feel that having two distinctly different web pages; Computing Preferences and SETI@home Preferences is a waste of storage, Why would these preferences not be fully loaded with the application installed on my computer? Thereby freeing up space on the servers. I'm sure it isn't much space per user but, there are a lot of users. Anyhow, I know zip about coding, compiling or writing applications. I'm sure Boinc and SETI have their reasons.

By the way, nice hardware you have there. Quite impressive.

Peace.

It has to do with the fact that many or most users that attach to the project know or care nothing about preferences or settings and the project has to have default settings server-based to support them. The local preferences are there to allow those who do know more and prefer to tailor settings on each computer individually on a local level.
