Let me know if they're working. I think this will solve a problem we've been having with some types of workunits not crunching correctly. ID: 37960 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Any updates für the PPC application? Its pretty outdated and there are no highoptimized versions available. I don't know if we're going to continue supporting the PPC version actually. We don't have access to a PPC mac, and the newer versions of OS X (and BOINC for that matter) have deprecated the code needed to compile the PPC application...

IIRC Cluster Physik said it was just a case of switching from a 32-bit to a 64-bit variable. Presumably all apps need the fix (though a large part of the userbase will already be using one of the fixed optimized applications). ID: 37971 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

We should be releasing new versions of the apps (and new source code) in the upcoming week. We're going to be testing some new background models for the Milky Way and the code is pretty much ready to go live now. ID: 38011 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

My WU keep reset and calculates from 0.00% when it is restarted from suspend. Hope this can be fixed in the next version. ID: 38099 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Definitely looks like checkpointing was not implemented as I aborted the unit after 13 hours and several restarts of the crunching. ID: 38309 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Thats weird. Im looking into it, it should be checkpointing. --Travis ID: 38328 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
