I updated the scheduler, so hopefully it should be correctly sending out SSE2 applications. Let me know if it's working here.<br>--Travis

SSE2 is working for me. I got two work units a couple hours ago.

Hi Travis
everything seems to be back to normal if thats the right word SSE2 apps running well. Once BOINC gets the runtime right it will really be back to normal. Is there any downtime planned this week?

Does this mean it will properly send NON-SSE2 WU's to the old AMD machines which do NOT support SSE2?

That should have been fixed a long time ago. The patch to the scheduler to actually send out SSE2 ones was apparently not applied before.

It seems to be okay. Here is the result from my boinc log:

I have not gotten any tasks to run for several days. Request for tasks gives two, but they do not run. CPU is idle. I run windows 2003 server with 2 dual core xenon processors. Dick

Running 4 SSE2 apps currently, all looks good.

Working fine on my computer, the only issue is the expected runtime being around three times higher as the resulting runtime(told me taking 33h but finished in 10 and a half hour).

IT'S WORKING AGAIN! I had to Reset Project to get it going. It's good to see that MW is working again; however, 27 hour work units with less than 8 days to completion forces Boinc into high priority processing dedicated to MW. Can't the WU's be broken down into smaller units of time?

Are these N-body workunits? The N-body is hard to predict the actual runtime. Over the range of parameters being fit, there is a huge potential for variation. If the estimate isn't high enough, BOINC kills them off prematurely. I've sort of been working on a better, and we've been talking about maybe doing partial N-body simulations in a single workunits (which will be necessary if more bodies are required) although that would make everything more complicated.

My last N-body announced 44h of work... finally it was done in less than 2h. I understand that that the actual runtime may be hard to prdict, but such a difference look laughable

The workunits need an upper bound for the number of FLOPs needed. Right now the same number I think is used for all in a set of workunits. Over the parameters being fit, the individual workunits vary by a large factor, and there is an element of randomness as well. The estimates need to be refined for individual workunits.

Hi,
my non-SSE2 Pentium II generates an abort of the actual jobs as it does before ...
Seems to get SSE2-Jobs continuously.
Post Error-Message as soon as i can get access to the machine.
Kind regards
Jörg
