The problem is that you have two classic accounts and already have one of them linked to your BOINC account. I don't know if it is possible to re-link a classic account to another BOINC account. If you can do that then you could link your older classic account to your current BOINC account.

Make the classic people happy or do without their computing power.



I hope you don't think you are speaking for all "classic" users. Exactly what is meant by a "classic" user? I processed classic SETI since 1999. When BOINC came along I saw the advantages of the new system and went with it. I didn't want the new system "contaminated" with classic results, it was something new. It never occured to me to have the workunits I processed in BOINC transfered backward to classic.

Bionic is crap, old SETI works like an clock.
I have been spending 3 seconds with the old program and hours with the new Bionic thingy and haven't got it to work yet.


Looking at the computer you have attached to SETI BOINC, you have it working. Is there any specific problem you are having?

I am concerned about my new computer crashing Work Units, how can I search the Workunit database by result ID's to verify that the other user are getting the same results?


If your results are getting validated then your computer is ok. You have your computers hidden so we can't help you any more than that.

When I attempt to look at your puters I see this, it is blank. This confirms you're failing to attach to the project. What is the Exact message you get when it fails to attach(the message in the attachment wizard, NOT messages tab.



"Failed to attach to project"
"Click finish to close"
"Messages from server" <no messages in box>

FYI I eneterd "setiathome.berkeley.ed" then "lennyw@comcast.net" and <my password> for the existing account. WHich I can log into from the setathome home page on the www.


The correct url to enter is "http://setiathome.berkeley.edu"
126) 疑难解答 : Wish list : Error results - View (消息 227949)
发表于:8 Jan 2006 作者: Bill Barto
Post:
Nope, not even one, but I check the results frequently because I don't want to mess up many results, caused by client updates or so.

I sometimes see boxes with hundreds of errors from co-crunchers of my pending workunits but they keep fetching more. If there would be a quick way to check for errors, the owners would probably stop BOINC in order to check what's wrong.


This subject has been extensively discussed in this thread:

http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=26049

Everyone agrees it would be good to stop hosts that produce a lot of errors but it is not as easy as it sounds.

Everyone is now showing on the Classic Class pages. Including those with zero results returned. It's kinda like having a class reunion seeing all the old names again that had dropped off over the years.

I see the class recacl has knocked off my home machine from my class listing. I stopped processing on Dec 1. My work computer which processed until Dec 9, is still there.

It would be nice to increase the filter by a month to get those who switched over shortly after the e-mail went out.


They need to take out the filter so everyone would show on the class pages. Everyone is now an inactive member of SETI Classic.

In order to gain more resources to clean out our database, we shut off all the data servers starting at 16:15 UTC. We probably won't be back up until Thursday around noon (Pacific time). More about it in Technical News.

130) 疑难解答 : Wish list : Larger WUs (消息 226227)
发表于:5 Jan 2006 作者: Bill Barto
Post:
I run one seti wu which takes up say 12 seconds of actual listening time from arecibo on a specific frequency (i have no idea if it's 12 seconds or not but bear with me). Now if Arecibo recorded 60 seconds at the same frequency from the same point in the sky there are 4 other work units out there. What if I have a signal toward the end of my wu and another cruncher picks up the rest of the signal on his work unit; will that be noticed? I assumed that setiathome's computers 'ran them all together' to see if there was something overlapping.


This is how they break up the tape into workunits. The whole article is located here:

http://seticlassic.ssl.berkeley.edu/cacm/cacm.html

From the article:

"Work units are formed by dividing the 2.5 MHz signal into 256 frequency bands, each about 10 KHz wide. Each band is then divided into 107-second segments, overlapped in time by 20 seconds. This ensures that signals we're looking for (which last up to 20 seconds; see below) are contained entirely in at least one work unit. The resulting work units are 350 KB - enough data to keep a typical computer busy for about a day, but small enough to download over a slow modem in a few minutes."

(NOTE: This was written a really long time ago.)

What is the plans to convert the credits obtained with classic seti@home into BOINC credits. Is the number of work units completed to be multiplied by the average BOINC credits, and added to the total?

When will this be added?


There are no plans to convert Classic totals to BOINC credits. BOINC is a fresh start. Your classic stats are shown on your account page and will be updated after they get done cleaning up the Classic database.

Ahhhhh, OK, well then that makes at least three of us.

Post:
I just had a boat load of pending credits get granted. Slowly but surely things are going good. :-)

@Mike Smith:

I believe even with the 2 people that returned results, that a 3rd one will be sent out even after it expires. I could be wrong, but that is my understanding. I've observed a few of my own that did this, and eventually a 3rd result was sent in and it was validated and granted credit. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong though. :-)

Jeremy

Let's say you've got a work unit that is due at noon tomorrow, and you aren't going to complete it on time.

At noon, if there is no quorum (no three that match) the result will be assigned to a fifth cruncher. If you complete the WU at 1:00pm, and report it, and it matches, you'll still get credit (as will the fifth cruncher).

If, at noon, there is a quorum, you may or may not get credit when you report at 1:00pm. It depends on when the work unit transitions. The odds are good that you will still get credit.

All of that said, returning work late can lead to extra crunching, and is to be avoided.



I'm not sure I understand your use of "transitions". However, if credit has been granted before a late result is returned, credit will not be granted to the late result.

Are you talking about your computer list here?

Computers belonging to meckano

If that's the case I think I see one that you can successfully merge. It's the one with the 0 total credit. Once they have credit granted it is tough to merge them.

If you select it it should give you the option to merge this computer down at the bottom.


It doesn't matter if computers have credit or not to be able to merge them. They have to be the same computer.

You can delete computers when there are no longer any results listed for them. Computers must be deleted from the web page.

Hello. I am new here.

I haven't bothered to read what is going on, but I feel like posting anyway. Please summarize and include important details for me. I will look for your response in the Science forum.

Who is Matt Davis?

Thank you and BIONIC sucks.


You forgot to tell us to email a response to you. ;)
