Post:
I get this since the last outtage all the time. I let it update automatically for the last 1.5 weeks, but nothing is coming through. It worked before I took a little break of S@h. I still get World Community Project, CPDN, GPUGrid and other WUs but none from Seti. Am I doing something wrong? I got no software firewall activated except Windows Firewall which allows BOINC to communicate. My router firewall shouldn't trouble as well, since I get WU's from other projects. Anyone having an idea? Edit: <master_url>http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/</master_url> I got this from the client_state.xml. Is this still valid? I believe so. Edit2: <scheduler>http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah_cgi/cgi</scheduler> This is taken from the master_setiathome.berkeley.edu.xml. Is that a valid one? |

AK V8 + CUDA MB team work mod

Post: Had one WU that got stuck at 0,000% and 1 second so far. Oddly enough the 2 cores shared 3 WUs after I cancelled that WU (http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=403063999). Seems to be working smooth now. Kudos, Raimster! Edit: had another one right after I posted. http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=403063986 Again, my two cores worked on 3 tasks simultaneously, leaving the GPU in idle. I'm using a X2 4800+ and a 9800GT with your latest SSE3 package, if that helps. Edit 2: After restarting Boinc, everything works again as it should, with 2 CPU and 1 GPU task. |

Post: I'll keep you posted what happens when I run out of work. LOL. After I read your lines again just now, I looked over the AP WU's again and one of them was still suspended.. D'oh! Sorry for making such a big deal out of it and thanks for all your help, guys! |

Post: 11.01.2009 18:36:03|SETI@home|Sending scheduler request: Requested by user. Requesting 0 seconds of work, reporting 0 completed tasks I even paused AstroPulse and still got nothing. I will let those AstroPulse units finish and see if the problems is still occuring. *sigh* The AstroPulse units should be worth 8 or 9 days, that's why I tried 10. Right now I have one CPDN WU (suspended), 5 AstroPulse WU (running/waiting to run), 1 GPU GRID WU (running). I had GPU GRID and the AP WU's suspended when requesting work though. I'll keep you posted what happens when I run out of work. |

Post: I don't get no new WUs for SETI. I currently have 5 AP WUs and 1 CPDN as backup (paused). I'm using the 4c package with ap_5.00r69_SSE3.exe. *sigh* Believe me, I tried that a dozen times. Here is the latest: 11.01.2009 18:36:03|SETI@home|Sending scheduler request: Requested by user. Requesting 0 seconds of work, reporting 0 completed tasks 11.01.2009 18:36:08|SETI@home|Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks I don't get why Seti doesn't even request work when I update it manually. Other projects do that automatically when WUs are below the buffer. I set the buffer to 10 days to see if there is a change, but there isn't. :( |

Post: I don't get no new WUs for SETI. I currently have 5 AP WUs and 1 CPDN as backup (paused). I'm using the 4c package with ap_5.00r69_SSE3.exe. I just allowed new work for GPUgrid and instantly got a WU from them (http://www.gpugrid.net/results.php?hostid=21636). I was wondering why I can't get any new SETI WUs for CUDA. When I used AK8 it worked like a charm but since you, raimster, put so much work to get CUDA to work halfway properly for us, I don't want to go back when I can use my GPU that is much faster. Any idea why I receive no new work? By the way, thanks for already helping me/us so much with your work! |

Post: There is new version of package available here: I got a parse error when starting up Boinc. It works though, just want to let you know that you have "<app_version>" right before "</app_info>". By the way, I happen to get no new tasks when using your app_info. Do you know why this is? |

Post: I've patched the Intel SSE3 Rev 2.0 app from Chicken successfully and let it run on my AMD 64 3500+. I happened to have two identical 0.439194 AR WU's right after another. SSE 2 generic Chicken app: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=473918377 3 seconds of SSE 2 and the rest with patched SSE 3 (as mentioned above) http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=474339820 A difference of about a minute in favor for the patched SSE 3. Anyone else played with it yet and can share some results? I'll let it run further, problem is that I sometimes have my CPU overclocked, sometimes not. Both results are on the oc'ed CPU though. |

It always worked well for me for many years, except crashing some WUs twice. But now I can prevent that by denying internet-connection-request-dialogues. Which firewall for Windows do you recommend, Knight? |

Compute Errors
(Message 500928)
Posted 11 Jan 2007 by Björn
Post: Hello people. I finally figured out what happened. A program was asking for permission to access the Internet through my firewall (Zone Alarm) caused the crashes. That dialogue remained unnoticed for several hours, because I've not been on my PC, and that seemed to have caused a blockade of some CPU-cycles and the WUs crashed. When it happened the first time it was only a guess, but after the second time it became pretty clear that it wasn't a graphics card driver, even though the information the error code gave indicated that. It was the firewall dialogue that asked for Internet access. Thanks for your help though! I wonder why it gave that error code instead of another. Actually I don't know how many exist, just glade I don't have many. ;-) |

Post: Hello people. I'm getting some errors on my PC too. It's http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=1955611 that causes trouble. Just check the results on page 2 and you'll see what I mean. <core_client_version>5.6.3</core_client_version> <![CDATA[ <message> - exit code -1073741502 (0xc0000142) </message> ]]> I'm using Chicken's app: Version: Windows SSE2 32-bit 'Ni!' based on seti V5.15 'Chicken Good!' Rev: (R-2.0|QxW|FFT:IPP_SSE2|Ben-Joe) CPUID: 'AMD K8 Athlon 64 (Venice)' Had no trouble when I switched over but all of a sudden something's messing up the WU's. Any suggestion what might have caused those problems? Oh, sorry for not posting the log, but I can't access that PC at the moment. It's at home and I had somebody to shut it down but forgot to remind her of copying the log into a .txt before doing so. I also don't know if a simple reboot would solve the issue, but I have no way to test that until Thursday since no one is at home for the next few days. :\\ I would be glad if someone had advice. I searched the Boinc Wiki but didn't come up with any good. |

The new release of Chicken's Optimised SETI clients

Posted 20 Nov 2006 by Björn
Post: Damn, this new app is fast on my AMD 64. I'm impressed!! I've read that chicken wrote about large gains on AMD 64, but it is a lot more than I expected. Nicely done! According to credits granted per hour, I'm 30% up compared to Crunch3r's 5.12. How many seconds I've saved can only be guessed. I didn't make a comparison. One thing is for sure, the new app is helluva fast. ;-) |

(Message 358560)
Posted 6 Jul 2006 by Björn
Post: I've so far read this thread with great interest and much respect for anyone trying to build an optimized application for S@h Enhanced! Since we're all starting to wonder how big the speedup might be, I found this url=http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=83883658]result[/url]. There were 2 AMD Athlon 64 3500+ crunching and Chicken of Angor's app on his 3500+ finished valid in 12.800 seconds. The other 3500+ took 20.070 seconds which would make a speedup of 36% for the Chicken of Angor application! WOW! I don't know if his cpu is still stock, but I assume it is (at least for the test phase of the opt. app). I'm aware that this is not a general number, but I found another url=http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=83902818]result[/url] where Chicken of Angor's P4 2,66Ghz dualcore outcrunched a normal 2,66Ghz P4 by half the time (12280 vs 24760 seconds). One might argue that this isn't an exact comparison, because of the one core, two core thing, but that was not my intention anyhow. Just some really rough numbers to see where we are. :) |
