Posted 8 Jun 2013 by Darren Post: Proud to have been crunching since 18th May 1999. I still find this is my favourite BOINC project despite trying a few others. |

Posted 15 Mar 2007 by Darren Post: Thanks for the answers folks. Whilst reading the thread it downloaded a Seti unit and started crunching. Panic over. I'm a bit of a worrier. |

Application Switching Algorithm

Posted 14 Mar 2007 by Darren Post: I am running three projects: Seti@Home (25% resource share) CPDN (50% resource share) Einstien (25% resource share) I have an Intel dual core processor. CPDN runs all the time on one core. I understand that, as it tries to meet the deadline. I have the switching between apps set to default at 60 minutes so I would assume it would switch between Einstein and SETI at 1 hour intervals but it doesn't. Seems to let one get to 95% then switch. Also, at the moment it is only doing Einstein. I had a SETI WU 'stick' so it worked on that for about 12 hours. Is it trying to catch up with Einstein work? Will it go back to SETI eventually? |

Posted 4 Mar 2007 by Darren Post: In regards to my post above; both the seti unit I was working on and the cpdn model gave errors. I never stop BOINC before shutting down. Didn't know you were supposed to. Anyway, that cpdn model is duff now. I wasted a lot of CPU time on it. |

Posted 4 Mar 2007 by Darren Post: In regards to my post above; both the seti unit I was working on and the cpdn model gave errors. see: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=488249762 and http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/result.php?resultid=5695358 I think this might have happened after I rebooted after I installed some drivers for my new mobo. Any ideas what caused this? |

Posted 3 Mar 2007 by Darren Post: Well, after 3,408,813.34 seconds of CPU time the climate prediction client gave an error after crunching 20% of it. I'm fed up because it was doing this since August. Don't think I'm going to bother with that project any more. I think I've only managed to finish one unit in all the time on it. Time to look around for another project that is worthy for my dual core to crunch on. |

Posted 1 Mar 2007 by Darren Post: I've built my new system now and it appears to be doing climateprediction and seti at the same time. Is it doing one in each core? |

Posted 24 Feb 2007 by Darren Post: The current CPDN 'coupled' models tell BOINC to do 1 full WU - that's 160 model years - in just under one calendar year. That would earn you 41,472 credits in 348 days, or just about 120 credits per day (taking the figures from my current CPDN WUs). Thanks for that. At least I know now. I'm (hopefully) building a new system next week based on the Intel E6300 CPU. I'm hoping I'll go above 120 with that? |
