This function is completely independent from external statistics such as BOINCstats or Free-DC, as the SETIspirit credits history evaluates the replies of the project servers. This independence makes the credit history function very reliable. The credits can be displayed for each project in day-, month- or year statistics. Daily at 23:40h SETIspirit updates all projects and at 00:00h the current credits are saved. The credits history function can be accessed via the 'boinc stats' command button menu. new features · credits history · minor gui enhancements · yesterday credits label in the main window (instead of the rac label) bugfixes · the BOINC Tasks Information Panel has showed the run time as cpu time My thanks to Cameron, who has supported me again as international quality controller. I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Best regards, Dirk Â

23) Message boards : News : Nebula: Completing the SETI@home pipeline (Message 1829370) Posted 9 Nov 2016 by dschwarting Post:   It was very exciting for me to read the Nebula article from David P. Anderson. Thanks for this great report! So far as I understood it's time to bring up the back-end processing (which was never done by the seti@home clients) to a new level (faster processing speed, higher accuracy, extended possibilities to detect ET-Signals and more). The SETI@home front-end processing done by our seti@home clients will may be changed in future but it will continue to be necessary (please reply if I'm wrong). I'm very glad about this upcoming step (evolution) because stagnation is regression. I am grateful to participate in this exciting project. Â

29) Message boards : Number crunching : SETIspirit News & Updates (a free BOINC add-on) (Message 1812195) Posted 24 Aug 2016 by dschwarting Post:   SETIspirit v4.0.0 is released SETIspirit v4.0.0 is a major upgrade with an improved software architecture. The required number of file accesses to BOINC files has been significantly reduced. Most information is gathered by calling the boinc commandline client instead of reading it from various project files. For this reason SETIspirit needs a running BOINC Client to work properly. A new setting allows SETIspirit to autostart the BOINC Manager. For the first time SETIspirit is now able to detect the workunit progress for every project and workunit type (even if the project does not log this information). As a long-awaited feature, the BOINC Tasks detection is now extended to 30 slots. e x t e n d e d   b o i n c   t a s k   d e t e c t i o n The new SETIspirit release comes with an extended boinc task detection, which allows to monitor 30 slots. This is useful for powerful computers with multiple graphic cards, which are able to calculate more than 10 workunits a time or if you are working with multiple boinc projects. All detected boinc tasks are displayed in the new workunit monitor form, which provides a good overview about the state of all boinc tasks. You can toogle the workunit label display between workunit type and workunit name. The size of the workunit monitor window can be set to automatic or user-defined in the SETIspirit settings (miscellaneous options). w o r k u n i t   r u n   t i m e SETIspirit now differs between the run time and cpu time of a workunit. This can be important for gpu workunits and workunits which runs on more than a single cpu core. You can switch the timestamps of the main window by clicking the timestamp link button (toggles the display between run time, cpu time and time left). The workunit monitor window could also show the run time or cpu time of a workunit by clicking the timestamp label. In the past SETIspirit has shown the cpu time of a workunit as run time, which was not completely correct. c o u n t r y   r a n k   d e l t a   i n f o r m a t i o n The free-dc program stats window now includes a country rank delta information (CRd) added by SETIspirit, as the CRd information is no longer provided by the free-dc internet stats webpage. If the country rank changes, SETIspirit is showing an up- or down- arrow with the country rank delta for 24 hours in the free-dc program stats window (country rank changes in the 24 hours period will be displayed immediately). Using the new free-dc program stats popup menu (can be opened with a single mouse click with the right mouse button onto the free-dc program stats window) you can update the free-dc stats without closing and re-opening the free-dc program stats window. a n a l y s i s   m o n i t o r new features · shows only the first ten SETI@home workunits while non SETI@home workunits will not longer appear here · the analysis monitor now observes up to 30 slots (0-29) · the readability of the progress state has been increased by a spaced font type · improved readability of the pulse signal counter by changing the font colour to white · improved readability of the slot #, total signal counts and progress % fields by changing the transparent background to a solid background colour · the sum of signals field will be displayed with a light blue background colour, if more than 0 signals were found · when opening the analysis monitor window the elements of the refresh bar are all deselected (adjusted like the other refresh bars of SETIspirit) · the analysis monitor slots and progress state is updated every 30 seconds (instead of 180s) while new signal discoveries are checked

mouse button) · improved "Wow!-Signal" gimmick (check this with the left mouse button) · the audio monitor menu only shows SETI@home workunits (limited to the first ten SETI@home workunits without astropulse) · the main window title will be displayed left-aligned again · renewed about form bugfixes · workunit analysis results were recorded even if the recording option was disabled · speech output of newly detected signals: under circumstances not all discovered signals were announced I M P R O V E M E N T S · the required number of file accesses to BOINC files has been significantly reduced · the allocation of slots is detected much faster (up to 3 times faster) · the workunit progress for every project and workunit type can be detected · the time left value is now taken from the BOINC Client and will not be calculated by SETIspirit anymore · SETIspirit now also operates on 64-bit systems with 32-bit BOINC installations · application environment settings are stored in the IniFile · the "active tasks" enumeration only contains workunits with "running" state (full status voice report) · the "next task completion" announcement considers only active tasks with "running"

restyled · the update check description of the settings form now contains the exact times for the update checks · free-dc program stats window title changed (with full explanation of the free-dc abbreviation) · boinc stats world rank delta display of the main form removed (since the WRd information was presented only sporadically by the boinc stats webpage) B U G F I X E S · the detection of the boinc stats world position was adjusted after the boinc stats webpage was changed · under certain circumstances the analysis results backups were created twice in the same minute · the time left timestamps of the main window were automatically overwritten with the cpu time values with the next update cycle · garbage was shown in the boinc environment part of the main window, if the <SETIspirit.ini> file was deleted and the <stdoutdae.txt> file doesn't contain any information about a boinc client startup · the debug.log file could grow in rare cases to a very huge file size up to 4 GB by a recursive debug logging · the workunit month statistics was incompletely calculated, if an overflow has occurred (more than 32767 wu's) SETIspirit v4.0.0 has passed all tests with SETI@home v8 workunits, Windows 10 (x86/x64) v1607 and the latest BOINC Client release 7.6.22.

37) Message boards : Number crunching : SETIspirit News & Updates (a free BOINC add-on) (Message 1760993) Posted 31 Jan 2016 by dschwarting Post: Thats right, but i can't see any details, like "recorded on", "recorded at". And I also have no ads in the fields "Autocorr", "Spikes", "Gaussians", "Pulse" and "Triplets". You are right: the "recorded on", "recorded at" and "wu position" or "wu project" fields in the main form workunit monitor and sky map are empty, if seti@home v8 workunits are crunched (as I recently noticed). This will be fixed soon. The "Autocorr", "Spikes", "Gaussians", "Pulse" and "Triplets" ads are working well, if the corresponding signals are found in the workunits (even in SETI@home v8 CPU or GPU workunits). For more support please contact me at support@setispirit.de (you can write me in German).

39) Message boards : Number crunching : SETIspirit News & Updates (a free BOINC add-on) (Message 1751406) Posted 23 Dec 2015 by dschwarting Post:   SETIspirit v3.3.0 is released It includes 4 new features, some improvements and 3 bugfixes. N E W   F E A T U R E S · speech output feature · automatic compressed backups of the analysis results · boinc tasks refresh bar (shows the update cycles) · boinc stats replaced by "Free Distributed Computing Stats" (signature graphic, program- and internet stats) I M P R O V E M E N T S · recording analysis results can be turned on/off in the main form · total wu's with cpu and gpu counter (workunit explorer) · boinc tasks form design adapted to the main form theme · main form title alignment adjusted on Windows 10 systems B U G F I X E S · the analysis results highscore statistics has not been updated after deselecting the „show AstroPulse Workunits only“ checkbox · boincstats.com requests for the main form country- & world position (-delta) adjusted · SETIspirit is crashed, if the workunit month or year statistics was called and the BOINC client has totally finished 0 workunits speech output feature The SETIspirit speech ouput feature offers the possibility of issuing specific events such as the completion of workunits, the receiving of new workunits or the discovery of new signals by voice output. Likewise, extensive status reports can be issued via voice output in configurable intervals. In addition to selecting a voice many details can be configured individually. automatic backups of the analysis results SETIspirit automatically backups the recorded analysis results (AnalysisResults.db) every 6 hours at 00:50h, 06:50h, 12:50h and 18:50h in a compressed backup file (AnalysisResults.zip). Previous backups will be automatically deleted. This can be very important, as the recorded analysis results cannot be recreated, if the file is damaged or lost. free distributed computing stats The boinc stats previously received from allprojectstats.com are now replaced by free distributed computing stats (stats.free-dc.org). You can see the original free-dc internet stats using your webbrowser, a free-dc signature graphic in a SETIspirit window or as the best option the free-dc stats in a more readable form with new details like yesterday credits, world- and country rank, world- and country rank delta in a new SETIspirit window too. The program stats and signature graphic are automatically updated every 3 hours. SETIspirit v3.3.0 has passed all tests with Windows 10 operating systems (x86 or x64) and also works perfectly with the latest BOINC Client release 7.6.9. Special thanks to Cameron Smith in Australia for supporting the quality control again. I wish you all a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2016! Thx. Regards, Dirk
