22) Message boards : Number crunching : PPC/Mac OS X Error with SETI v8? (Message 1754374) Posted 6 Jan 2016 by Jonathan Jeckell Post: Eric Korpela's been notified. He'll get round to it, but a lot of balls are being juggled right now. Thanks, and I can imagine. I also don't suppose supporting PPC (or other legacy architectures) are really high on his priority list either.

23) Message boards : Number crunching : PPC/Mac OS X Error with SETI v8? (Message 1754359) Posted 6 Jan 2016 by Jonathan Jeckell Post: Every v8 SETI work unit is quitting with an error code on my PowerMac G5 (PPC). I was wondering if anyone else is having the same problem. Stderr output <core_client_version>6.12.35</core_client_version> <![CDATA[ <message> process got signal 5 </message> <stderr_txt> dyld: Library not loaded: /sw/lib/libfftw3f.3.dylib Referenced from: /Library/Application Support/BOINC Data/slots/0/../../projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu/setiathome_8.00_powerpc-apple-darwin Reason: image not found </stderr_txt> ]]>

24) Message boards : Number crunching : OpenCL onATI Radeon HD 4670 worked. Once. (Message 1738645) Posted 31 Oct 2015 by Jonathan Jeckell Post: Forgot to mention. I had chalked the success up to running the latest Mac OS X update, bringing this machine up to 10.11.1. This was the first unit run after the update, so I thought the update fixed something. Until all the rest of them dumped.

25) Message boards : Number crunching : OpenCL onATI Radeon HD 4670 worked. Once. (Message 1738642) Posted 31 Oct 2015 by Jonathan Jeckell Post: I hear there has been a problem for a long time with OpenCL on ATI GPUs for iMacs with the ATI Radeon HD 4670 for a long time. I had some hope this would be fixed with the SETI@home 7.08 version, but the problem persisted...at least for me. Until today. BOINC claimed it completed ONE of the 45 or so units it downloaded, even though there were some errors in the sterr.txt The rest dumped with Computation Errors right away. I wonder what was different with this ONE special unit that made it claim to work. It would sure be nice if they all did.

26) Message boards : Number crunching : SETI Hanging on Processor (Message 236323) Posted 23 Jan 2006 by Jonathan Jeckell Post: Ok, I'll check for 5.2.13, and yes, I have LOADS of swap space. Thanks

27) Message boards : Number crunching : SETI Hanging on Processor (Message 236122) Posted 23 Jan 2006 by Jonathan Jeckell Post: Thanks for the tip, Steve. That might be it. I recently set all projects to remain resident in memory because I have a pretty large amount of RAM and thought that it would let the projects switch more efficiently. Also, Tom, I am currently running BOINC Manager 5.2.5 for Mac OS X on 10.3.9 according to the "About" dialogue, so I think I am using the latest version of the manager. Thanks for all the tips, I will try changing my settings back to "No" for my suspended projects.

28) Message boards : Number crunching : SETI Hanging on Processor (Message 235244) Posted 21 Jan 2006 by Jonathan Jeckell Post: Might want to post in the Q n A Mac forums, for a faster response. I did that about two days ago with no joy. I am also a little concerned that it's completely lost in there with about 3,000 variations of whine about SETI Classic shutting down or lost credit. I'm also trying to find out if the problem is more widespread than just the Mac version of BOINC/SETI. I'm concerned that a lot of spare processor cycles that could be used for one of these worthy projects are getting wasted--at least they are on my box. If it continues I may have no choice but to suspend SETI to work on other projects, or cycle SETI on and off manually (suspend all other projects, run SETI; suspend SETI, run all other projects). I also checked stderr for both BOINC and for SETI but didn't see anything I recognized as a real problem, and don't know who to contact about fixing it if it is.

29) Message boards : Number crunching : SETI Hanging on Processor (Message 235144) Posted 21 Jan 2006 by Jonathan Jeckell Post: Is anyone else having problems with BOINC with SETI where SETI continues to use ~40% of the processor while another BOINC process is supposed to be running? When this happens, SETI isn't even getting any work done and is just sucking up half the available processor cycles. I'm using BOINC on a Power Mac running OS X 10.3.9.

30) Questions and Answers : Preferences : SETI will not relinquish processor (Message 233332) Posted 19 Jan 2006 by Jonathan Jeckell Post: I'm running BOINC under BOINC Manager 5.2.5 on a PowerMac G5 with four projects (SETI, Einstein, Predictor, and Rosetta). Occassionally SETI won't let go of the processor and soaks up 40% of the cycles without doing any work while the other clients are supposed to be running, so they only get about 40% of the processor to actually do work. Is this a BOINC problem, a SETI problem, or a BOINC Manager problem? What's the fix? Currently I catch it (usually after it wastes a few days of work) and manually shut down the BOINC Manager client and re-start it.
