1) Questions and Answers : Windows : Seti on a PII, Windows 98, 64MB RAM, not enough? (Message 253534)

Hello,

just trying to hook up also an old W98 with 64MB RAM.
Seti says:

25.02.2006 01:00:32|SETI@home|Sending scheduler request to http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah_cgi/cgi
25.02.2006 01:00:32|SETI@home|Reason: To fetch work
25.02.2006 01:00:32|SETI@home|Requesting 17280 seconds of new work
25.02.2006 01:00:37|SETI@home|Scheduler request to http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah_cgi/cgi succeeded
25.02.2006 01:00:37|SETI@home|Message from server: Your computer has only 66576384 bytes of memory; workunit requires 532480 more bytes
25.02.2006 01:00:37|SETI@home|Message from server: No work sent
25.02.2006 01:00:37|SETI@home|Message from server: (there was work but your computer doesn't have enough memory)

However, Seti page says min requirements is 64MB, that's what I have.

So I assume, I don't have enough memory?

Can I get it to run without adding more memory?

Does Einstein run on 64MB?

Thanx for help,

Ranier.

Post:
Well, select the WU and abort it. If you want to quit crunching CPDN, you have to set it to "no new work" (the button must show up "allow new work then") BEFORE you abort the WU. Then make a update of CPDN and you're done.


Wow, Ripley,
that's it. I'm blind, it says "deadline ...2007".
On the CPDN I clicked
1) no new work
2) suspend
and did not abort the WU, because immediately SETI started to download a WU and is now happily crunching away.

Thank you very much!

If I understood correctly, once Seti is done with its first WU, then it starts the round robin and will calculate on poth projects?

Do you safely reach the deadline of your CPDN WU? If not, then boinc is in earliest deadline mode and until it returns to round robin mode, no other project will be able to process anything.


Aha! It's the first time that it processes a WU of CP. And I don't think it will manage the deadline if I understand it correctly. Indicated deadline: Is this in hh:mm:ss?
It says: 1492:08:12 time remaining. Deadline is in 4 days...

I have only this one WU from CPDN.

However, according to my preferences, CPDN-Seti is balanced 50:50 and should switch every 60 minutes?

What shall I do? Delete the CPDN WU? How is this done w/o damaging things?

Thanx for help.
Rainier.

Post:
Can you check that your Projects tab (click on seti) 2nd button says Suspend and the 3rd button says No new work

it needs to display as above to request new work, if they say anything else, click the button.


yes, I have these buttons, saying :

- update
- suspend
- no new work
- reset
- logoff

still it won't download anything.

thanx for help.

just installed BOING 5.2.13, it can connect to SETI, but does not download any WU.
The directory \\BOINC\\projects\\setiathome.berkeley.edu on my PC is empty.

I pushed the update button for Seti in Boinc, but why does it say: "Note: not requesting new work"? I do want new work!?
Boink manager work list for Seti is also empty.

Do I just have to wait?

I'm running also climateprediction which works like clockwork.

Thanx for help.
