1) Message boards : Number crunching : When will we run out of WUs? (Message 206452) Posted 8 Dec 2005 by Willy_Wuff Post: 11/08/06 good old CPDN!!! IMHO, if you want only a backup to Seti, then better choose projects with short WU's like LHC, Rosetta and Einstein. This will not work on my machine. I attached to Seti and Predictor. No Seti-Unit available for crunching, only one is downloading and downloading and downloading since yesterday. Predictor is run out of work on my machine but the boinc client requested no more work :-(

2) Message boards : Number crunching : What to do when going on holiday? (Message 47873) Posted 19 Nov 2004 by Willy_Wuff Post: In some days I will go to Maldives for Extrem-Relaxing ;-) In the meantime my boxes@home will work on Seti. I use ADSL but my provider breaks the connection every 24 h. But this is not a problem. I let the connection reestablish automaticly. This schema works since 4 years with nearly no problems (in some cases a reconnect was not immediatly possible, than it will try so long until a connection is possible)

The thread was http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=1977. I'm searching for this because the update to 4.13 shreddered my manual setting for school back to home

4) Message boards : Number crunching : Solution: 4.12 lockup (fixed in v4.13 - closed) (Message 36027) Posted 13 Oct 2004 by Willy_Wuff Post: For me works a similary workaround: in global_prefs.xml every line with [cpu_scheduling_period_minutes][/cpu_scheduling_period_minutes] changing to [cpu_scheduling_period_minutes]60[/cpu_scheduling_period_minutes] P.S. use greather than, lower than instead of [ and ]

5) Message boards : Number crunching : Results are ON (Message 35787) Posted 13 Oct 2004 by Willy_Wuff Post: Now I can see in some cases, that not only results dumped but also credits ;-) http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah/workunit.php?wuid=2184739 4 boxes crunched successfully between round about 4:10h and 6:30h and granted credits are zero. Eventually because one result are "unknown" an 0.00 credits claimed?

6) Message boards : Number crunching : BOINC 4.12 Fails on XP Pro SP2 (Message 35774) Posted 13 Oct 2004 by Willy_Wuff Post: I've installed 4.12 on 2 boxes (Win2KSP4 und WinXPSP1). Both are not functional. Boinc_gui hangs with "no reaction" in Taskmanager. After a downgrade to 4.09 something works well - the Win2K-box cant upload any result und trashed much computiation time Edit: In the meantime i have a final result for me: 4 boxes - 3 not working under 4.12 - 1 working well 1. P1800 - XPSP1 - immediatly hangs after start 2. mAthlon2500+ - W2KSP4 - immediatly hangs after start 3. P2800 - XPSP1 - immediatly hangs after start 4. P2400 - W2KSP4 - working well

[/snip] Yes, I'm a volunteer, but I spend not only unused CPU-cycles. I spend also much money so i would like at least the little fun with the credits ;-) *remark* a CPU under 100% Load needs more power, creates more heat, needs more cooling (by 17,19 Euro-Cent/kWh)

On my old crunching machine: Before beginnig crunching a WU Boinc thinks it will need 7:20h. Effectivly it needs 5:10h for a WU. In addition some WUs only need 2 or 3 minutes. So it could possible WUs for 20 days crunch in 14 days.

10) Message boards : Number crunching : Resource sharing apparently not honoured (Message 21040) Posted 1 Sep 2004 by Willy_Wuff Post: > CPU scheduling has got you.

Because Boinc/Seti CANT correctly calculate the time to completion of one unit(deviations +/- 100%) it should not calculate the time needed to process all units before report deadline ;-)

Thats answered many questions. and in this THREE days are TWO days included, where no upload of results and no download of WU's possible. In this case on old SETI comes a news to inform what happens.
