Hey everyone,

The last set of N-body runs has converged beautifully. Thus, we have replaced the old runs with a set of new ones:
-de_nbody_06_16_2021_v176_40k__data__4
-de_nbody_06_16_2021_v176_40k__data__5
-de_nbody_06_16_2021_v176_40k__data__6

Since the last set ran without problems, we expect this one to run smoothly, too. Thank you all for your continued support.

-Eric

Thank You! Keep up the good work!☺☻☺

Noticed the updates since June 2021 and received new tasks but not transfers. Not that it really matter, since I've been on board since Netscape, but points are tracking like a spider on acid. Dave G, NH

So, not sure what N-body is or is about, I dont spend a lot of time reading here, but I got the note about N-body and GPU's. I have a pretty good GPU (Gaming rig), will the code you are developing for GPU's automatically run on the BOINC platform or do we need to update to a different version of the system?

As long as you have recently updated drivers with OpenCL compute support, you should be able to run the new N-body gpu app when it/if is released.

So, new issue. I just buildt a new system and added Bonic, and am getting the message from this project that "N-Body Simulation needs 50.00MB more disk space. You currently have 0.00 available and it needs 50.00MB." I have 20gig available for use by Bonic and cannot figure out where the additional 50mb needs to be configured. Can anyone assist?

We had this problem over at rosetta@home where the disk space used by the python projects is very big
From the `options` tab of boinc manager , then `computing preferences` then `disk and memory` tab , try setting it at

Use no more than - 100 GB - {Just set this to something BIG}
Leave at least - 0.01 GB free
Use no more than - 99.9 % of total

Boinc will only use what it needs
This is from my thread on the problem over at Rosetta@home

LOL, I am getting the same issue at Rosetta@home as well. Glad to see that I am not the only one.

I went ahead and set the preferences as you suggested, we shall see...
