2) Message boards : Number crunching : Message boards (Message 909) Posted 3 Dec 2007 by [B^S] Gamma^Ray Post: We're looking into it but the errors are harmless (albeit annoying). You mean like this ? LoL Just Kidding
3) Message boards : Number crunching : No work from project ... (Message 842) Posted 30 Nov 2007 by [B^S] Gamma^Ray Post: Switched to WCG for the time being.
4) Message boards : Number crunching : Website code issues (Message 841) Posted 30 Nov 2007 by [B^S] Gamma^Ray Post: Yep, Im getting as of now, 23 of these errors at the top of the Message Boards page : Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /export/share0/www/boinc/milkyway/html/inc/forum_mysql_dbh.inc on line 172 G^R
5) Message boards : Number crunching : errors on 1.12 (Message 828) Posted 30 Nov 2007 by [B^S] Gamma^Ray Post: So far, Those were the only two testers I downloaded. All the others are running fine. I also cranked up the Windows ME with the BOINC 5.10.28, And it also is crunching on them sucessfully as well ! Almost 3 times as slow as my other system, But still it works hehe. G^R
6) Message boards : Number crunching : server really back up (Message 819) Posted 30 Nov 2007 by [B^S] Gamma^Ray Post: I have been getting those messages myself, If it helps here is what it shows on one work unit: <core_client_version>5.10.28</core_client_version> <![CDATA[ <stderr_txt> Unrecognized XML in GLOBAL_PREFS::parse_override: suspend_if_no_recent_input Skipping: 0.000000 Skipping: /suspend_if_no_recent_input APP: error writing checkpoint (resolving checkpoint file) -108 output_path: astronomy_checkpoint ******** ******** Memory Leaks Detected!!!

7) Message boards : Number crunching : errors on 1.12 (Message 818) Posted 30 Nov 2007 by [B^S] Gamma^Ray Post: Well, I have an old Windows ME I could try it on. I pretty much gave up using it for anything BOINC a good while back. hehe So far all mine have been running fine. G^R /Edit/ Just did hit two work units that are listed under the name "tester" that errored out with the following: 11/29/2007 6:37:56 PM\|Milkyway@home\|Starting tester_11_28_17_9 11/29/2007 6:38:05 PM\|Milkyway@home\|Aborting task tester_11_28_17_9: exceeded CPU time limit 4.883699 11/29/2007 6:38:10 PM\|Milkyway@home\|Computation for task tester_11_28_17_9 finished 11/29/2007 6:38:10 PM\|Milkyway@home\|Output file tester_11_28_17_9_0 for task tester_11_28_17_9 absent 11/29/2007 6:38:11 PM\|Milkyway@home\|Starting tester_11_28_14_9 11/29/2007 6:38:11 PM\|Milkyway@home\|Starting task tester_11_28_14_9 using astronomy version 112 11/29/2007 6:38:21 PM\|Milkyway@home\|Aborting task tester_11_28_14_9: exceeded CPU time limit 4.883699 11/29/2007 6:38:26 PM\|Milkyway@home\|Computation for task tester_11_28_14_9 finished 11/29/2007 6:38:26 PM\|Milkyway@home\|Output file tester_11_28_14_9_0 for task tester_11_28_14_9 absent Result ID 559823 Name tester_11_28_14_9 Workunit 513653 Created 29 Nov 2007 23:33:20 UTC Sent 29 Nov 2007 23:46:34 UTC Received 30 Nov 2007 0:41:47 UTC Server state Over Outcome Client error Client state Compute error Exit status -177 (0xffffffffffffff4f) Computer ID 81 Report deadline 1 Dec 2007 3:33:14 UTC CPU time 0 stderr out <core_client_version>5.10.28</core_client_version> <![CDATA[ <message> Maximum CPU time exceeded </message> ]]>
8) Message boards : Number crunching : server really back up (Message 794) Posted 29 Nov 2007 by [B^S] Gamma^Ray Post: Yep, So far seems to be running fine... uploads/downloads/and showing the 2 credits per work unit now. Good Job so far! G^R

10) Message boards : Number crunching : Keeping Us Up To Date (Message 751) Posted 29 Nov 2007 by [B^S] Gamma^Ray Post: Not sure how many some of the users that complained, Has actually ever crunched on a newly formed Alpha project ? I think I'm close to working with 50 projects over the last years, Most of them are Alpha's and Beta's as I like to help them get off the ground even with my one pc. Compared to alot of those before this one, This one gets a grade of A from myself, Especially when he is basically the only one trying to keep his project going and all with whatever limited knowledge he may have had beforehand. Just my opinion of course. G^R
11) Message boards : Number crunching : Keeping Us Up To Date (Message 708) Posted 28 Nov 2007 by [B^S] Gamma^Ray Post: I also think Travis has/is doing alot better job on keeping us up to date, Than alot of other projects have/are. Good Job thus far ! G^R
12) Message boards : Number crunching : resetting credit (Message 680) Posted 27 Nov 2007 by [B^S] Gamma^Ray Post: well, I for one would like to thank Travis for putting the time into this problem. This will not be easy, or straight forward. I agree, When dealing with Credits the topic is always an active one. 2 per work unit will give users a better return than the one did. Now how do I get one of those special ones for 700K credits though ? LoL.... G^R
13) Message boards : Number crunching : resetting credit (Message 639) Posted 27 Nov 2007 by [B^S] Gamma^Ray Post: I also agree, That resetting all users credits to zero would not be good. As it would be like punishing the users running valid clients or whatever as well as the ones not. Not a good way to start things off with either crowd to me. As this is still in alpha, Users have to expect things to be changed abit including the credits. I think that tweaking it as it is until its a happy medium for all is good. And for the ones that have been obviously using a hacked client or whatever, Perhaps when you have more time down the road you can just removed an X amount of credit from their scores using the copied print list of all users/credits as of now. Or just leave things as they are now and keep them even from now on with the new crediting system, As I doubt there any projects out there, Where credits were even (Or fair)from the beginning hehe. G^R
14) Message boards : Number crunching : resetting credit (Message 633) Posted 27 Nov 2007 by [B^S] Gamma^Ray Post: If I recall right, Once Nano started making alot of work available, They upped their credits per work units way too high. It stayed that way awhile and then they eventually lowered the credit for each work unit, And then later removed a certain amount or percentage from each user also, Something like that I believe. Not common for most starting projects really, as long as the credit to work unit done ratio isnt too extreme to start with. My only thought currently on the new credit system here, Is that getting less credit per work unit done than what your client says you are due (Using the standard acceptable client), Seems abit low, As most projects I have run usually are in the equal too, Or abit higher than asked for credit/wu ratio. Off hand and im sure there are more, PrimeGrid is the only one I noticed that grants lower than asked for, At least for the smaller work units there I run at times. It might cause some users to not crunch as much here, If they can get more credit for each work unit else where, If that is a factor for the future workloads or work done here. Thats just my opinion anyways, For what its worth...LOL G^R

17) Message boards : Number crunching : Computational Errors (Message 417) Posted 12 Nov 2007 by [B^S] Gamma^Ray Post: Past few hours have seen alot less bad work units, And alot more stable ones running in the 7 Minute a work unit area. Hope it stays like that for awhile. :) G^R

19) Message boards : Number crunching : Problem finding team created (Message 284) Posted 9 Nov 2007 by [B^S] Gamma^Ray Post: I have a similar problem, I created a team (BOINC Synergy), and am listed as the founder of it here. But in my profile I have no access to the founders page to edit anything, Nor are listed as the founder? G^R
