1) 留言板 : Number crunching : Do I NEED to use BOINC 5? (消息 221999) 发表于：27 Dec 2005 作者： PCRacer Post: ------------------------------ But, when Seti_Enhanced is "soon" released, it's in users own interest to upgrade to v5.2.6 or later, to get consistent claimed credit... ------------------------------ ****************************** ------------------------------ I recommend updating to at least 5.2.8. Right now that is the latest version with a fix that effects everyone. The versions after that have all been communications issues fixes, if you are not having problems there is no need to upgrade farther. ------------------------------ since the 'official' client is only @ 5.2.13 http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php why reco these? where are they? are they beta/test versions? are they 'official' releases? is it necessary to have a specific client that will eventually auto update or will boinc give you a message when the hosts running 4.xx - 5.1.x are no longer compatable??
2) 留言板 : Number crunching : One Giant Error (消息 219354) 发表于：21 Dec 2005 作者： PCRacer Post: i see this error occasionally on some of my results too...along with everyone recieving that same w/u... if you look @ the other w/u reports...they all give the same info. http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=42253434 SETI@Home Informational message -9 result_overflow NOTE: The number of results detected exceeds the storage space allocated. what does this mean? & why does it sometimes give a little credit & other times nothing? i see credit usually given when all w/u report the same info, but other times when only one returns w/that error msg no credit is given & it resends the w/u to another user...it seems odd to put blame on the host machine. i'm abit confused...is this a client error? w/u error? boinc error?
3) 疑难解答 : Windows : Upgrading BOINC (消息 142275) 发表于：24 Jul 2005 作者： PCRacer Post: i just upgraded my boinc 4.18/4.25 to the current version 4.45, by doing an uninstall/install via the windowz control panel & it kept the project folder & all the wu's. but now when boinc starts, it says it's resuming computations for result xxxxxxxxx using seti@home version 4.18. is this correct? will it update itself after the current wu's are complete? should i let the current wu's finish w/o downloading new ones, then delete everything in the projects/seti folder? i'm kinda lost on this one... You should uninstall the previous version, ONLY after backing up the entire BOINC folder. Excuse me, but why do you want to backup anything? If you go past Add/Remove programs and uninstall (remove) Boinc through there, all it will remove is Boinc itself, not any of the units, any of the XML files or things like that. Backing up the whole folder is only cumbersome and takes up loads of space, especially when you run CPDN. Even at the best ZIP or RAR option, it can easily take up 200MB of valuable disk space. And if something goes wrong at installing a new version of Boinc, it will reset all the projects anyway. So all the work units you then had will be gone, already telling the various projects servers that they were flushed. So just leave the backup behind, uninstall Boinc and install the new one. You can't do much wrong. If you can change your videocard drivers, you can change your Boinc!
