Rogue Stars: The Miscreants of Our Galaxy

Posted 3 Feb 2008 by Crystallize
Post: "A young star speeding away from the Milky Way is in fact an alien visitor, astronomers have confirmed. The wayward object is one of several rogues that are giving astronomers a glimpse into the volatile nature of our galaxy and others." Hm, "an alien visitor", well, I wouldn't go that far, to be a "alien visitor" as such it would have to be alive and since it's just a star, it's not alive. But I do understand the principle, I saw an episode "The Universe - 2.02 - Cosmic Holes" that explained this principle very well ! |

Perhaps, but since it takes so long and they don't seem to have a clue. I'm usually solving a hard ware problem in less than two days, how ever complicated it may seem. So I thought I just give some pointers... :o)
But there must be some debugging tools also for Linux ? right ? |

Posted 12 Jan 2008 by Crystallize
Post: What ever it is, it's obviously a hard ware error. If you turn off the "auto reboot", you should get a BSOD that gives you some more information what it could be that causing it. CPU error, not very likely, unless it's due to over heating, all BOINC projects create increased heating to the CPU, which could explain why it crashes more often when the project is on. How ever, over heating is a quite unusual reason for a crash, unless you have over clocked the CPU. The most usual error that causes the most vague and various symptoms is actually faulty graphic cards. The next most usual error is unfortunately the one that is the hardest to fix and that is mother board failures... |

Post: Mine are very, very fast... 370.72 for short WUs (around 6 min) http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/workunit.php?wuid=2028692 to 1,142.77 (19 min) for long ones ! http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/workunit.php?wuid=2032334 Must say I love my computer ...  BTW, did you know that you get slightly better credit for the odd number WUs (the long ones) with a ratio of approx. 175 Sec per CS compared to approx. 187 Sec per CS for the short ones

Posted 2 Jan 2008 by Crystallize
Post: The best is to have a spare project to run if the WUs stuck while your at work or so. My queue runs out of work in less than 2 hours and I can't run home from work to manually get more work, so I run Cosmology at home simultaneously on my second core and it also takes over this core if I run out of work on M@H. Hm, but I wonder what happened with Travis, he promised to be back new years eve, but we still haven't heard a word... He could at least let us know that he have acknowledged the problem so we know they are working on it ...

Post: As banditwolf said, abort any WU that fail to complete downloading AND abort the transfer. As soon as I did that, I got my full 20 WU. Smart idea, how ever the WUs stuck seems to be growing in number, first time I had 1 WU stuck in transfer, next time I had 4, and now I got 6 WUs stuck in transfer ... |

Post: I got some weird behavior from WUs the latest days. Hm, I must say I can't find any explanation for it in that thread, just something about credits again, and it wasn't it this time, I wondered why the WUs was starting over again ??? It has nothing to do with credits at all, this project doesn't have credits hight enough to be interesting in that way... |

Assigning projects per core ?
(Message 873)
Posted 2 Dec 2007 by Crystallize
Post: I was wondering if it would be possible to create a future so that you assign to run a specific project on one core and another one on another core if you have a computer with multiple cores. This is a function in BOINC that I have missed for many years now. How ever nowadays when multi core CPUs and multi processor PCs gets only more and more common I think it's even more urgent ! But maybe that is a function you could set on your "MilkyWay@home preferences" page instead ???? Like On multiprocessors, use at most: 1 processor , just like on the General Preferences page. |

Post: If you say so, I'm not getting any new work anyway. I just get a "11/29/2007 4:28:10 PM|Milkyway@home|Deferring communication 1 hr 0 min 0 sec, because project is down" I suppose I have my self to blame for joining a Alpha project. Not only did I loose almost all my credits after his little "Stats revision" (two third or three forth at least)  ) Fair or not (I think not ... ) I have made as much CS in Cosmology@home in 2 days than I have here now, one week worth of crunching ... I think I leave the project until it has stabilized some and is at least believable Beta and not Alpha !  |

Post: On another note, I've upped the credit per WU to 2.0, because the average credit seemed to be closer to 2 than 1. I'll try and figure out how to fix the credit already granted. Ok, I suppose that is ok, how ever this should not just be for the top 20 but for everybody in that case. Nobody should be favoured, No exceptions !!! |

Cool, I'm quite satisfied with 2CS per WU, it puts Milkyway in the middle to high range of projects. *PS* Martin P. I'm very happy with my Dual core Conroe, that was not the point either *DS*
