Merging Computers
(Message 557375)
Posted 1 May 2007 by MrFrog
Post: BOINC also occasionally changes the way in which the CPU description is handled. This has happened recently. This has caused me an issue with one of my computers, I was fiddling with optimised clients, and have the same computer currently listed twice. I would like to merge them but can't, due to the apparent change of CPU. But nothing has actually been changed. Can someone manually merge the offending clients for me, as I am unable to. (It's obvious which ones if you have access) or is this also not possible at all. (I don't want to lose track of the credit granted to this particular machine it's over 500,000 on it's own) |

Daily quota - Shirley Shome Mistook?
(Message 120129)
Posted 7 Jun 2005 by MrFrog
Post: the usual suspect of a reduced quota is WUs being returned either: Ok it seems I had a large batch of units with no reply - which were sent out on 22nd May due for return on the 5th June - no idea why - my normal turnaround on this machine is 1-2 days max (large underestimate of time to complete due to HT) At least I know why, if not what, caused the problem. |

Post: the usual suspect of a reduced quota is WUs being returned either: Niether that I can see in the logs - the machine in question hasn't returned a work unit late (to my knowledge) ever, except during big outages. I'll have a better look later at work. |

4.25 has been replaced by 4.43 as the "recommended" Core Client.
(Message 113733)
Posted 22 May 2005 by MrFrog
Post: I have just updated from .42 -.43, however I am a little unhappy at the latest versions handling of the work cache. I run Burp, Einstien, Seti and Pirates. On my home pc (P4 3.0Ghz HT on permanent connection) I am currently out of work completely, for the first time in months, because of its refusal to keep any cache due to the way the debt is handled for Burp and Pirates, which obviously don't have work very often at present. So when there is an outage on my two main projects - I end up with nothing to do... I have reduced my resource share for these projects but this means when work does arrive - I won't see much of it, even though I am happy to crunch these projects in equal share with the others. I have my connect to set to 4 days, which used to be enough to cope with most problems at either Seti or Einstein. |

4.42 has been posted.
(Message 112437)
Posted 18 May 2005 by MrFrog
Post: I have been running the the later versions for some time - just switched to 4.42 - no obvious issues, however, does anyone know if the LT and ST min and maximum debts are influenced by the resource share or time since last contact? I ask because I have noticed a reluctance to download Seti units when Pirates has a large debt - which I understand - however, this means that I run out of Seti when the project is down because it is reluctant to fill up the cache (set for 4 days). Is there anyway to set a flag to ignore the debt or reset it, if a project is down for more than x number of days? |

Post: I have just reverted back to 4.09 after 4.12 locked up my XP Pro machine. Boinc GUI was occupying 95% of processor time, and had to be stopped in the taskmanager. Reboot didn't make it any better. |

Problem with preferences being ignored
(Message 27027)

I only have two PC's at 'home', and both are set to > use the 'home' preference on their individual pages. However, when I update > the clients (so preferences take effect), they suddenly start using my default > general preferences. I am running 4.05. Any ideas? I have the same problem, I have a number of machines set for my work profile, which is set to not download too much work as they crunch slower than the benchmark, and I don't want to take units I can't process. I also have home machines that crunch quicker than their benchmarks, and I want them to download lots of work because they run out quickly - Either way they are both defaulting back to my defualt setting which I have had to set at a compromise!. Can this be fixed ?  |

WU's - Speed of consumption - an Idea

Plenty of us here with patience > and common sense... And who will be ready when the WU's are. Sorry for having a thought. Just in case you managed to read something that I didn't write, I was not moaning, and am not moaning. I like the science, and ran the Beta for months (Which didn't count for the statistics !) It was an empty headed thought to maybe reduce the complaints from those that are intersted in the numbers. Thanks for your positive input. |

WU's - Speed of consumption - an Idea
(Message 11416)
Posted 22 Jul 2004 by MrFrog
Post: This might be a bit off the wall, or has maybe been suggested before, but if generating enough work is proving to be a problem, Why not send the units out more often for additional verifiaction. If a WU was crunched by say 6 PC's instead of 3 you have instantly generated twice as much work from the same data. This would aslo give a more meaningful average for the credit given. Just a thought for the day! |
