21) Message boards : News : New server test post (Message 52221) Posted 5 Jan 2012 by Cliff Harding Post: Finally connected to server to report my tasks. I had to ALLOW NEW TASKS, then do an update request for it to work. Hadn't been able to report tasks in the last 24-hrs. I don't know if the accounts are on the same server, but I cannot update my community prefs. I get a HTTP 500 Internal Server error. http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/edit_forum_preferences_action.php

23) Message boards : Number crunching : GPU Requirements [OLD] (Message 42405) Posted 27 Sep 2010 by Cliff Harding Post: I have a very unique card EVGA GTX275 w/ integrated GTS250. This is a card that has two separate physical double precision capable processors on the same card. Normally the GTS250 (GPU1) will not support double precision if on a card by itself. But in this instance because it is intregrated with the GTX275 (GPU0) it is. You may want to add this card to your list for those who have this type of card but have not designated the GTS250 to crunch GPU WUs. Normally, I only crunch SETI, but I was doing a test by downloading some MW tasks for timing purposes. I noticed that all of the downloaded tasks were GPUs and when they started crunching is when I discovered that both GPUs were crunching on MW; instead of one on MW and the other on SETI.
24) Message boards : MilkyWay@home Science : Screensaver (Message 33253) Posted 13 Nov 2009 by Cliff Harding Post: I am currently running two projects on two machines (Windows 7 & Vista Business) using the current BOINC software (6.10.18). In this version I have noticed not only do I get the active SETI screen saver, but also static displays of all tasks that are currently running; which includes Milkyway. I know it is very little to go on right now, but at least it gives me a reminder of what is currently running. If you have Windows and you haven't upgraded, now might be a good idea.
25) Message boards : Number crunching : EVGA GTS250 & MILKYWAY CUDA (Message 31146) Posted 18 Sep 2009 by Cliff Harding Post: I am using a EVGA GTS250 with the current NIVDIA software, that I am very satisfied with and have been running SETI for many years. If I can run CUDA GPU WUs for SETI, why does MilkyWay state that I do not have the needed features? Are there any plans that will correct this?

26) Message boards : Number crunching : Not receiving any work from Milkyway!! (Message 27243) Posted 7 Jul 2009 by Cliff Harding Post: This should not be a problem, because the SETI WUs will process very quickly. The only ones that will take any amount of time are the Astropulse WUs. The rest CPU WUs usually complete in 2 hours clock time per.
27) Message boards : Number crunching : Not receiving any work from Milkyway!! (Message 27238) Posted 7 Jul 2009 by Cliff Harding Post: I recently added the Milky Way project which is supposed to run at 50% of the time with the currently running SETI project, switching every 60 minutes between projects. I received WUs for the CPU, but no GPUs on the first day and nothing since. Any ideas why. ------------------------ 07/07/2009 10:03:45 Starting BOINC client version 6.6.36 for windows_intelx86 07/07/2009 10:03:45 log flags: task, file_xfer, sched_ops 07/07/2009 10:03:45 Libraries: libcurl/7.19.4 OpenSSL/0.9.8j zlib/1.2.3 07/07/2009 10:03:45 Data directory: D:\Documents and Settings\Cliff Harding 07/07/2009 10:03:45 Running under account Cliff Harding 07/07/2009 10:03:45 Processor: 4 GenuineIntel Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz [x86 Family 6 Model 15 Stepping 11] 07/07/2009 10:03:45 Processor features: fpu tsc pae nx sse sse2 pni mmx 07/07/2009 10:03:45 OS: Microsoft Windows Vista: Business x86 Edition, Service Pack 2, (06.00.6002.00) 07/07/2009 10:03:45 Memory: 3.24 GB physical, 6.38 GB virtual 07/07/2009 10:03:45 Disk: 372.60 GB total, 355.86 GB free 07/07/2009 10:03:46 Local time is UTC -4 hours 07/07/2009 10:03:52 CUDA device: GeForce GTS 250 (driver version 18618, compute capability 1.1, 512MB, est. 84GFLOPS) 07/07/2009 10:03:52 Not using a proxy 07/07/2009 10:04:00 Milkyway@home URL: http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/; Computer ID: 85867; location: (none); project prefs: default 07/07/2009 10:04:00 SETI@home URL: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/; Computer ID: 4856407; location: home; project prefs: default 07/07/2009 10:04:00 SETI@home General prefs: from SETI@home (last modified 03-Jul-2009 23:37:33) 07/07/2009 10:04:00 SETI@home Computer location: home 07/07/2009 10:04:00 SETI@home General prefs: no separate prefs for home; using your defaults 07/07/2009 10:04:00 Preferences limit memory usage when active to 2989.55MB 07/07/2009 10:04:00 Preferences limit memory usage when idle to 3321.72MB 07/07/2009 10:04:00 Preferences limit disk usage to 300.00GB 07/07/2009 10:04:00 Preferences limit # CPUs to 3 07/07/2009 10:04:01 SETI@home Restarting task ap_18se08aa_B2_P1_00108_20090701_09541.wu_1 using astropulse_v505 version 505 07/07/2009 10:04:01 SETI@home Restarting task 31oc08ac.29555.13979.10.8.48_0 using setiathome_enhanced version 603 07/07/2009 10:04:02 SETI@home Restarting task 13dc08ac.2556.1708.9.8.151_0 using setiathome_enhanced version 603 07/07/2009 10:05:43 Milkyway@home update requested by user 07/07/2009 10:05:46 Milkyway@home Sending scheduler request: Requested by user. 07/07/2009 10:05:46 Milkyway@home Requesting new tasks for CPU and GPU 07/07/2009 10:06:06 Milkyway@home Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks 07/07/2009 10:06:06 Milkyway@home Message from server: No work sent 07/07/2009 10:06:06 Milkyway@home Message from server: (won't finish in time) BOINC runs 91.0% of time, computation enabled 100.0% of that
