1) Message boards : Number crunching : Another "No work from project" thread (Message 76425) Posted 4 Feb 2005 by ColinDB Post: I gave up trying to download work months ago. I continue with classic Seti on 5 out of 7 machines using SetiQueue. I believe in the core reason for running Seti in the first place - to find "THE" signal. I have run SetiQueue for 14 months and have never run out of work. 2 other machines running Climate Prediction (non Boinc) and Find-a-drug (cancer research etc.). My stats on BOINC are 6225 for classic work units. To date, I am at +12,800 (I really would like to see an update!). When there is a sufficient and reliable source of data to be crunched, then I will switch to BOINC to continue the search - the essence of what we are doing anyway. Until then, I will continue with the classic version. Should we get kicked off classic (which will happen eventually) and work is not available, then I will devote more CPU time to other projects like I have started doing already. I suggest you take the same approach. Don't leave your machine idle for a second! Anything you contribute may benefit humankind - be it finding a cure for a bastard cancer, predicting outcomes for global warming or a promising signal from out yonder! Keep the CPU warm Mate! CDB

2) Questions and Answers : Windows : Schedulars fail to respond (Message 76419) Posted 4 Feb 2005 by ColinDB Post: I gave up trying to download work months ago. Finding a scheduler to give you some work to do is almost as elusive as that signal you seek by running the project! You are finding nothing new here.

3) Questions and Answers : Windows : I have a problem (or maybe it is your end Berkeley???) (Message 76413) Posted 4 Feb 2005 by ColinDB Post: "Insufficient work" is just a worn out record for the moment. I gave up trying to download work months ago. When the bugs get ironed out and the Seti crowd get on top of this massive project to be in a position to exploit the world wide pond of CPU power, you will find more than enough work to keep your machine busy.

I allowed BOINC to connect again today and still cannot get any work. I have 5 machines (ranging from 2400 to 3200Mhz) here which I am reluctant to keep running if there is no credit due. Other projects wouldn't hold off stats to the detriment of their contributors. I would hope that both old and new credits would be maintained during the transition period. I want to get underway with the BOINCing (climate is expecting to convert!) to keep my machines busy and contribute to the big picture. All I ask is to be recognised for my crunching at all levels.

7) Questions and Answers : Getting started : "Old" SETI Credit mismatch (Message 11682) Posted 24 Jul 2004 by ColinDB Post: S@H1 website does state a snapshot on May 15 would be carried over and any other work done after this would not be credited. This is morally wrong! I personally have run over 8000 units to date and have a credit of 6225. Unless you actually went looking for changes, you would not have been aware that you were crunching for no credit. I still crunch looking for signals as this is the primary goal of the project, but I believe credit should be due to those who have high commitment to participate. Note that I have converted 1 machine to BOINC but it has been idle since registering as I can never get any work for it. It is currently running a climate prediction run.
