Got 8 of these errors today when network connection was capped and boinc is sending a Sheduler request, same thing happened 2-3 days ago, process gets killed when trying to connect. Boinc 6.2.15 Task ID 57511334 Looked like this in the commandline on 4 of the ones: 08-Dec-2008 22:03:29 [Milkyway@home] Temporarily failed upload of nm_stripe86_r7_23373_1228836170_0_0: connect() failed Have some old boincies in storage, 5.2.13 was nice :) |

Some WUs run extremely long time, I have aborted this one after over 18 hours: http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/result.php?resultid=57580672 [edit]I use official application[/edit] |

Some WUs run extremely long time, I have aborted this one after over 18 hours: Yup, same here, I have three nm_stripe_79_fr1 running for over four hours and only 45% done. Well I don't mind if they are long, the longer the better.. |

Just curious (and this has probably been stated before, maybe even by me in a thread I can't find), why does my Linux Opteron 285 machine take over 10 minutes longer to process a MilkyWay work unit than my Windows Opteron 285 machine ??? On average my Windows machine takes around 2,600 seconds but my Linux box takes around 3,300 seconds. They are the same specifications bar different hard drives. Is it just a compiling thing, as in a compiler more suited to Linux might change things ?? |

True, different compilers, different results. But most importantly, Linux keeps the CPU at the lowest frequency when just running low-priority BOINC applications, whereas Windows throws the CPU at the highest frequency for them too. See more details here. HTH |

Thanks Augustine, I will try and check this out. EDIT: I am unable to find any folder or file relating to power that has any reference to 'Powersave'. So I am not sure if it exists with Fedora Core 3 or 6. Throttling is not supported on the FC3 machine as far as I can tell. (The computer having the slower run times runs Fedora Core 6, still another Opteron 285). |

SUSE linux (2.6.5-7.191-smp), BOINC v.5.10.45 still get an error: 20/12/2008 14:52:50|Milkyway@home|Starting nm_stripe86_fr1_242469_1229776663_0 <core_client_version>5.10.45</core_client_version> |

No I don't believe in that |

No I don't believe in that What do you mean? It's either true or it isn't - I don't know which and I don't feel like checking, but there is no magic here. |

No I don't believe in that My Linux boxen have always run at full speed for many years and there is no throttling at all. |

My Linux boxen have always run at full speed for many years and there is no throttling at all. Your "boxen" have up-to-date processors and kernel, so you should be able to type "powersave -r" from the command-line when the system is idle to check the effective CPU frequency. Most current standard Linux set ups come with default power management that's more sophisticated than old throttling. HTH |

My Linux boxen have always run at full speed for many years and there is no throttling at all. If an idle box can save power that's nice Tested Fedora and Ubuntu renicing the app to 0 and there is no difference in runtimes |
