Hi Dirk

I'm just wondering if I should expect the workunit progress gauge to be updating on the skymap if I am viewing a single workunit [slot] for an extended period.

SETISpirit is refreshing the output when it re-reads the task_state.xml file in the appropriate slots when I manually cycle through the slots or set SETISpirit
to rotate through the slots itself.

While the main GUI reads the updated state file at regular intervals normally refeshing the progress gauges normally and grabbing focus from the skymap, [when not minimized] or from the minimized state 'Show SETISpirit' command.

The gauge on the Sky map is not refeshed without manual interaction (workunit next, closing and reopening the sky map) or using the rotation setting.

hey dirk,
just to say a big thank you for your program...
from my point of view, it brings a new look on seti project and a cool way to use it...
my favourite part is sky map it's a kind of......magic!!!!!!!
thank you again man,keep going on make us dreaming and having fun !!!

Hi Cameron,

you are right, currently the sky map is not refeshed without manual interaction. I will change this in the next SETIspirit release.

Dirk

· the sky map wu monitor will now be automatically refreshed (wu progress, cpu time,
time left and analysis results for the selected slot)

Thx for using SETIspirit ;-)

Best regards,

SETIspirit v1.2.0 is released now

SETIspirit v1.2.0 is the first official release which supports multiple BOINC Projects (other than SETI@home). Even if the first attention is dedicated to the SETI@home project, it now has improvements for all available BOINC projects.

There are also new features and bugfixes included...


Enhanced Support for non SETI@home projects

· the SETIspirit UI and sky map now shows the correct wu name, wu type and report deadline for non SETI@home workunits

· the recorded on, recorded at and wu position fields will be leaved blank for all non SETI@home workunits

· the sky map cursor will now be disabled for all non SETI@home workunits

· the Current Workunits frame is renamed to Workunit Counter

· the Workunit Counter in the SETIspirit UI now shows available and completed "Non SETI@home" workunits

· the Workunit Counter is now able to differ Astropulse workunits (with or w/o gpu class)

· new [view all] command button as quick link to the current workunits form


Enhancements for the "Current Workunits" form

· the current workunits form now shows the correct workunit details for all boinc projects

· the current workunits list view now has a project and slot column

· new project combobox which allows to filter the workunits by selecting a project

· the current workunits form now shows a Total WU's, GPU WU's, Attached Projects and 'Projects with work' summary

· new workunit state 'suspended' if the project is suspended (previously SETIspirit shows 'running' as state in this case)


SETIspirit UI Enhancements

· long wu names and wu types shown in the workunit monitor will now be shortened and shown as a tooltip

· for non-SETI@home projects the workunit monitor now shows the project name instead of the wu position


Sky Map Enhancements

· long wu types shown in the workunit monitor will now be shortened and shown as a tooltip

· for non-SETI@home projects the workunit monitor now shows the project name instead of the wu position

· the sky map now shows the last selected constellation if opened

· mouse icons added for the sky map combobox flag, speaker and copyright link button


Other Enhancements

· the workunit monitor refresh interval was shortened to 180 seconds (from 300 s)

· fewer file accesses to the BOINC logfiles

· improved detection for GPU workunits


Bugfixes

· when switching the wu monitor to a different slot the analysis results weren't be cleared which could lead to an incorrect display

· the SETIspirit UI and sky map now shows the report deadline instead of the computation deadline (which is equal to the boinc manager report deadline)


It's planed to extent the support for non SETI@home projects in later releases.


This major update wouldn't be possible without my "International Quality Control Consultant"...

Cameron Smith, Australia

Thanks for your great support, Cameron!

SETIspirit v1.2.1 is released

it's Murphy's Law that bugs are only found after an update was released, therefore I have fixed them now...

· missing User- or Host ID bug fixed
· turned on the automatic update of the user credits, wu monitor, server status, projects, update- & debug logfile checks again

Regards,
Dirk

Thanks Thomas

Well I see Murphy the Code Gremlin is still hard at work.

It's nice now just running SETIspirit without having to test for the bugs that I reported. Nor any enhancements that I hope to be added in some future update.
Knowing that it will run quite well with a variety of other BOINC projects other than SETI.
(The nerve of some of us).

The remember constellation on Skymap was a really nice one that was slipped in. Thank you Dirk

SETIspirit v1.2.4 is released

SETIspirit v1.2.4 completes the support for multiple BOINC Projects. Almost all features of SETIspirit are now available for all BOINC projects!


New Features

· select a project to see it's week-, month- or year statistics

· select a project to see the workunits requested, received or reported events

· use the project explorer to see the details of all your projects

· the next and rotate button will be hidden, if there is only work in one slot (SETIspirit GUI and Sky Map)

· new legend for the workunits received form: x workunits received (y requests)

· new legend for the workunits reported form: x workunits finished

· the sky map workunit monitor will now be immediately reset after the completion of a workunit

· the workunit monitor of the SETIspirit GUI will not be switched to the credits & server status view after the completion of a workunit

· new setispirit forum entry in the project menu button

· debug.log entries now includes the SETIspirit version number

· improved multitasking for longer lasting tasks

· enhancements of the SETIspirit GUI


Bugfixes

· the sky map workunit monitor was only updated when the workunit monitor of the SETIspirit GUI was activated

· the workunits reported form now shows complete entries (prior to this bugfix the last character of each entry was absent)

· invisible zero workunit errors fixed (only shown in the <debug.log> file)



SETIspirit looks for the following strings in the <stdoutdae.txt> file...

__________________

Workunits Received
__________________

"[project] Scheduler request completed: got X new tasks"

-> valid for all projects


__________________

Workunits Reported
__________________

"[project] Finished upload of"

-> valid for all projects except Milkyway@Home


"[Milkyway@Home] Computation for task"

-> valid for Milkyway@Home only


These strings are also used to create the workunit statistics !!!


___________________

Workunits Requested
___________________

"[project] Requesting new tasks for" - OR -
"[project] Sending scheduler request: To fetch work"

-> valid for all projects


_______________________________________________________

If a project is using different strings SETIspirit won't work right,
so I have to adjust it in the SETIspirit source code for that project.
_______________________________________________________


If SETIspirit doesn't work right for your BOINC project just contact me
at info@setispirit.de and I will enhance SETIspirit to solve this issue.


Following BOINC projects have been tested and are working well...


Einstein@Home
Milkyway@Home
pogs
SETI@home


Please give your feedback here, if not mentioned projects are also working well.
Thank you very much!

Best regards,
Dirk

SETIspirit v1.2.5 is released

New Features

· improved workunit statistic creation, which now should work right for every project: SETIspirit always looks for the following string in the <stdoutdae.txt> file to create the workunit statistics which is now valid for all projects: "[<project_name>] Computation for task <task_name> finished")

· new refresh bar, which shows the SETIspirit update cycles (workunit counter-, progress bar-, cpu- and time left- updates every 30 seconds, workunit analysis results every 180 seconds)

Bugfixes

· workunit statistic creation for all non-SETI@home projects, which creates multiple output files fixed

Best regards,
Dirk

Sounds Good: I'll check it out. What's the situation for using it on two or More Computers (in particular if they Operate on Various OS's - eg Vista and Windows 7)... I imagine that (like BOINC) we'll need to Download SETIspirit onto each Computer individually: but I suppose the main question is, Do We Need to Provide Our Username and a Password for it, and if so, can we Use Our Existing BOINC Credentials (Username/Password), or at least use Our BOINC Username and The Same (new) Password for each Computer onto which we Download SETIspirit.

Please install SETIspirit on each computer on which you want to use it. You don't need to provide a username or password for using SETIspirit, just install it and it is ready to use :-)

Dirk
