Thanks for the help about this Chicken Soup thing,

working perfectly now, first WU using this app. halved the time from 15 hours to 7

Keep on Crunchin'

Glad it worked well for you as anticipated.

Can't beat some Hot Chicken Soup, even though it's been 115 here in Phoenix :)

[edit: if you like hot dogs, @ noon today EST on ESPN is the traditional Nathan's hot dog eating contest @ Coney Island. They're trying to break the 'new' record of 59 1/2 hot dogs & rolls in 12 minutes, burrrrrrp.]

It looked like he aborted 30s and 60s in favor of doing 30s. If his machine bears any resemblance to mine and to many others, he's cutting his own throat by aborting. In my and many other cases 60s do better than 30s. The really funny thing is that he's aborting both 30s and 60s. I don't know why.

Here's a thought:

If a DC project cannot keep up with the machines of their contributors, then perhaps they shouldn't be DCs. At that point, their projects just don't require the crunching power offered by DC. Just go buy a few machines and do the work in-house.

I just got 28 new WUs and BOINC also downloaded and uses the stock application for some reason (it used the optimized app before)
EDIT: Nevermind, my app_info.xml disappeared for some reason... so it's obvious why it doesn't use the optimized app...

(I hope I got the bracket quote bracket thingies right)

So what that would entail is a sched (chron) job to send the SUSPEND and RESTORE messages to SAH for the Tuesday shutdown. Unfortunately, most of MY programming experience has been in ALGOL on Burroughs mainframes. This would require more knowledge of Windows (or Linux / UNIX) and the BOINC protocol than I have.

Too many massages, many topics, no really seen results...
I have seen all themes from the beginning of May.

Sorry for my bad-bad-bad English! Many people wish to inform on the problems, but they do not have not enough knowledge of language! I try to say...

I have a trouble. I see a my results page on the SETI@home server. I have 42 WUs on this page but into the BOINC 4 WUs only. The BOINC doing requests of new work and on result's page WUs increased ("In Progress" server status, "Unknown" outcome status) but BOINC's WU list is not changing.

"HTTP internal server error" forever... Day by day...
BOINC restart - no actions. Machine restart - too.
Disconnect from the project - the decision of a problem!!!
Think...

I am sorry but I dont understand all this computer geek mumbo jumbo.

Can someone please tell me in simple english why SETI is not downloading any work from the project?

Thanks.

The Berkeley (project) servers are broken.

The original desktop computer was an IBM XT PC. It had an 8088 processor and ran at a whopping blazing fast 4.77 MHz (as compared to the 1.0 MHz Commodore 64).

The first 286 computer was the IBM AT PC. It has an 80286 processor that ran 8.0 MHz.

Since so many folks are quoting this post, I'd just like to point out another couple of errors. The XT was not the original IBM PC, but an upgraded variant which appeared in 1983. I think most folks thought the hard disk it included was the key upgrade at the time. Suddenly not _everything_ had to run from floppy.

Also the AT was introduced at 6 MHz, though 8 MHz did become available. Wikipedia is wildly optimistic in calling 6 MHz for the original AT conservative--for the condition of the 80286 at the time of introduction, it was not conservative at all.

Really interesting. Frankenserver...
Maybe they can build any kind of MainFrame for high computing proceses!
(Based on Intel's 286, 386, 486, Pentium I, II, III, IV, etc...) je je je

Hey, anyone (other than me) ever see a 186? I still have one, although it hasn't done anything for a couple of years...

There was no such thing as a 186 computer. The original desktop computer was an IBM XT PC. It had an 8088 processor and ran at a whopping blazing fast 4.77 MHz (as compared to the 1.0 MHz Commodore 64).

The first 286 computer was the IBM AT PC. It has an 80286 processor that ran 8.0 MHz.

I don't know what happened either. For about 2 days a unit was trying to d/l and I just had to abort it.

To whom this may concern:

I have been running SETI for a while now, and have noticed that the server does not want to update my work processed. Is there something wrong with the system there? I have been trying now for the past two weeks with negative results on getting new work. Please help! Thanks.
