1) Questions and Answers : Wish list : turn off auto-benchmarking (Message 187310) Posted 9 Nov 2005 by FireBird Post: it is really annoying if you are playing some (online)game and suddenly BOINC needs to run benchmarks for whatever reason at this time.

2) Message boards : Number crunching : Notebook stops crunching after some time (Message 169724) Posted 19 Sep 2005 by FireBird Post: Heya ok i have both some optimized BOINC and SETI apps running on my notebook - not connected to the web so i have to transfer over lan. so far its pretty fast ;)but stops crunching after some WUs. so i need to suspend and resume work and everything is fine for some time. any suggestions about this? the same BOINC/SETI is running fine on my PC.

3) Questions and Answers : Wish list : BOINC admin/data transfer over LAN (Message 168566) Posted 16 Sep 2005 by FireBird Post: i need the possibility to transfer WUs to a remote administrated machine (select computer...) that has no internet connection. this should be possible to do via LAN / the administrating machine (that is directly connected)

4) Questions and Answers : Preferences : seti uses 98% of windows xp resources (Message 79203) Posted 13 Feb 2005 by FireBird Post: > When BOINC starts a science application, the application takes up whatever CPU > cycles are available. thats it and normally you can let it run all the time because it runs on low priority only taking CPU time if there are no other programms that need more power. try starting maybe a TV programm or encode mp3s/videos and watch SETIs cpu usage - should go near 0 :O

5) Questions and Answers : Preferences : seti uses 98% of windows xp resources (Message 79124) Posted 13 Feb 2005 by FireBird Post: guess this is what it is supposed to do...

6) Questions and Answers : Wish list : BOINC 4.21/4.66 UI cosmetics (Message 79025) Posted 13 Feb 2005 by FireBird Post: - sorting doesn't work in this version - clear log function would be nice too - why no context menus beside this info panel? guess this way its easier to manage especially with more than one project - transfer tab -> abort upload should be named abort transfer - same in all translations?) as you can cancel both up- and downloads PS: pause transfer function could be useful for lowspeed connected users as well

7) Questions and Answers : Wish list : switch and/or (de)activate projects (Message 78918) Posted 13 Feb 2005 by FireBird Post: would it be possible to switch between attached projects or attach several projects and deactivate them. so that for example if seti would be down you could easily switch to lhc this time without all this attaching and detaching. or if you're reaching the deadline in seti you gonna disable lhc and continue seti. (ok at this i'm not really sure if it is already solved in 4.X)

8) Message boards : Number crunching : Will an Insaneally accelerated graphics card... (Message 77766) Posted 9 Feb 2005 by FireBird Post: > I think so too, it will decrease games performance. Especially on hardcore > games such as C$C Generals or Unreal Tournament. So all I do is just shut SETI > Off while I play :) > add an option to stop gpu crunching and thats done

9) Message boards : Number crunching : Will an Insaneally accelerated graphics card... (Message 77523) Posted 8 Feb 2005 by FireBird Post: Does anyone know how it would speed things up(at least for home users)? OK there are for sure lotsa ppl. with high end gfx for example >= radeon 9800pro

10) Message boards : Number crunching : CPU BENCHMARKS RESULTS BANK (Message 22779) Posted 5 Sep 2004 by FireBird Post: Measured floating point speed 2474.02 million ops/sec Measured integer speed 4319.45 million ops/sec XP 3000/166@180 and WIn98SE... need to retest it with W2K

11) Message boards : Number crunching : BOINC 4 and Win98 (Message 21084) Posted 1 Sep 2004 by FireBird Post: OK thanks a lot for fixing this problem that fast. Seems to work even on my machine. Just sent my finished WUs and even was able to receive new ones without any problems.

12) Message boards : Number crunching : BOINC 4 and Win98 (Message 19930) Posted 30 Aug 2004 by FireBird Post: Just tested it with the BOINC cli - same thing so maybe it's the seti client and not BOINC?

13) Message boards : Number crunching : BOINC 4 and Win98 (Message 19907) Posted 30 Aug 2004 by FireBird Post: hmmm... got one too: ------------------------ BOINC_GUI verursachte einen Fehler durch eine ungültige Seite in Modul KERNEL32.DLL bei 019f:bff88396.

14) Message boards : Number crunching : BOINC 4 and Win98 (Message 19895) Posted 30 Aug 2004 by FireBird Post: Yes but BOINC v3 was working fine. Hope someone will get this dome somedays...

15) Message boards : Number crunching : BOINC 4 and Win98 (Message 19892) Posted 30 Aug 2004 by FireBird Post: As long as network access is disabled everything is working fine but when sending CPU usage is over 75%, machine unusable even lowering priority doesnt help. And it doesnt produce error messages at all; stderr.txt is empty.

16) Message boards : Number crunching : BOINC 4 and Win98 (Message 19884) Posted 30 Aug 2004 by FireBird Post: OK just updated to Boinc v4 and when i'm trying to send/receive WUs BOINC is eating up all my CPU time and usually even crahsing the machine. Have no idea at this point - gotta check this with Win2K...
