35 dBA unter Vollast UND kaum hörbar. Sagt alles, oder? Das Ding ist wirklich leise, kein Vergleich zu meinen PCs. Und der Mini steht 40 cm neben meinem Ohr! Sorry for posting in german! |

Post: [quote][quote] Merom is rated at 35 Watts, Yonah is still 31 Watts. I don't have a web link, I read it in c't. And even if it consumes 45 or 50 Watts in total it is still a great cruncher in relation to it's power consumption. |

Post: Hello! Several test in PC magazines indeed show a power consumption of 40 Watts (full load without CD/DVD). And it is pretty quiet, fans run with approx. 2300 rpm. Don't know about SETI performance (don't run it). Nice machine, really ... |

SIMAP- looming on the horizon
(Message 186734)
Posted 7 Nov 2005 by scsimodo
Post: What is the difference between SIMAP and Rosetta, Predictor, and WCG? I don't have the scientific background for a detailed explanation but AFAIK the goals are different: Rosetta: "calibrating" their software for proteine folding and improve the forecasts using known proteins Predictor: compute "real" protein foldings SIMAP: search for protein similarities WGC: Similar to Predictor, I think (but I'm unsure) It seems these projects are mostly different in their goals, so most likely no "double work".

Post: Same problem as the Gas Giant. Can I ask where abouts in the world you are please? Also are you dial up/what type connection + speed do you have? Had the 500 error on uploading the whole day. (Germany, DSL 1Mbit, CC 4.45, W2K) from 6am - 3pm UTC. Suddenly it worked again, so I suggest to just sit back and relax. scsimodo |

AtomChip® Quantum® II processor
(Message 164758)
Posted 8 Sep 2005 by scsimodo
Post:
Just out of couriosity, do you have any specs of the new VIA C7-M. Google is not very verbose about that. It was announced as a Pentium-M killer, but regarding the floating point speed of it's predecessors I can hardly believe that. Is a C7-M 2GHz comparable to a Athlon XP 2000+ in terms of speed? Would be a quantum leap vor VIA. I know, the C7 is not yet released but maybe there are some kind of "insider information" :-)) |

Post: You caught the tail end (hopefully) of several problems and outages that have culminated in an extended outage. Some things were out of the SetiBOINC staffs hands (outage to replace a faulty breaker or router or RAID disk), others were problems with BOINC (antiques/orphans) that only surfaced because the SetiBOINC project is much larger and has run much longer than the other BOINC projects... I don't complain about the problem various BOINC projects have. I'm just curious about the massive outages at SETI. I'm aware that all projects suffer from low work, hardware failures, sporadic outages. That's one reason why BOINC is there. One project has problems, so crunch for the other. Now I now just hit a bad time at SETI. Well, I have to deal with it... |

Post: Normal? No. LHC is out of work, but they announced it. P@H has obviously some problems with their scheduler (unfortunately on weekends). I have to live with it. Now to SETI! Some hardware breakdowns, true! But as non active member of SETi I recall at least 3 RAID crashes, database corruption, ancient results that are not deleted etc. No show stopper, but annoying though. I don't want to blame SETI, I'm just curious (and a liitle bothered) about the current state of SETI. |

Post: I've been an entuthiastic S@H cruncher for more than 1 year. Now I'm happily crunching P@H and LHC. Just for n ostalgic reasons I switched back to S@H for a few WUs. Well, what I see is the following: - Outages everywhere (since 2 days) - Pending credits are far behind - performance problems Is this normal? I've never seen this on other projects, ok some time with no work, yes, but not the problems I see on Seti. Did I just pick a bad time, or is this "business as usual"? |

CPID wierdness
(Message 84780)
Posted 10 Mar 2005 by scsimodo
Post: > hello scsimodo, Hi Sänger! > what else are you running @home? Attached to all Projects but ATM only Predictor is active (and Seti, if I try to connect). Same @work + active Einstein > And what CPID has it after the next connection? The same (wrong) one. No change @home, @work CPID lines up with the very first connection. Strange ... Just saw another oddity. CPIDs showing on the project websites are different than those in client_state.xml. Shouldn't they be the same? Hmm, I'd better deactivate Seti until I found a solution. Now that I finally have combined stat at boincstats.com again :-) scsimodo |

CPID wierdness
(Message 84763)
Posted 10 Mar 2005 by scsimodo
Post: Slowly I'm going nuts with CPID line-up. All of my 5 BOINC projects have 2 different CPIDs, let's call it CPID1 and CPID2. E@H, CPDN, P@H and LHC all share CPID1, only S@H uses CPID2. After contacting S@H at work everything seems fine, CPIDs are lined up, all Project share CPID1. BUT: Connecting S@H from my home PC S@H CPID ist switched back to CPID2. EMail adresses, user names etc. are identical, even the OS/Client is the same (Win2k, core client 4.25). Reattaching the project didn't work. Any way to fix this CPID wierdness? Otherwise I have to detach from S@H on my home PC. scsimodo |

How do I install 4.62 (.sh file type)
(Message 75865)
Posted 1 Feb 2005 by scsimodo
Post: Copy the .sh-file to a location of your choice (e.g. /opt), open a terminal window and cd to that location. Now type: sh ./boinc_4.62_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh (depending on the directory you choose you may have admin rights to do that) This will create a subdirectory "BOINC". cd into it and start the boinc client with sh ./run_client To start the GUI type ./boincmgr HTH scsimodo |
