1) Message boards : News : Admin Updates Discussion (Message 77153) Posted 12 Jun 2024 by Phillip Slaughter Post: Hello all! It has been months since I received any Work Units from MilkyWay@Home. Is there any timetable for when Units will again be available? I use both a Mac & a Windows computer & have the same situation on both? Thanks, Phil Slaughter

I just noticed that my seti@home WU's run fine with the Intel GPU using OpenCL, so I guess it really must be a problem with the MW WU's Phil
3) Message boards : Number crunching : Computation ERROR (Message 62804) Posted 8 Dec 2014 by Phillip Slaughter Post: Mikey, I appreciate the suggestion, but I'm new to the MacBook and don't know how to implement what you suggest. When my son comes home for Xmas, I'll see if he can help me, since he's been using the MacBook for a long time and is pretty knowledgeable. I seem to remember that at one time there was a configuration parameter that could be set to prevent using the GPU. Maybe I can find that to turn these WU's off. I wonder if there are enough Mac users that someone who knows the programming, could modify the engine to switch to the nVidia GPU from the Intel one for these WU's? Thanks, again, Phil
4) Message boards : Number crunching : Computation ERROR (Message 62766) Posted 2 Dec 2014 by Phillip Slaughter Post: I'm new to the MilkyWay project, but have been doing WCG and Seti for a long time. With Milky the majority of my WU's error out with Computational Errors within less than 5 seconds of starting. A few seem to complete just fine however, if they get past those first few seconds, since I am accumulating some points. The problem seems to be present in all types of WU's, not just one variety. I am running on a MacBook Pro, with Intel I7 processor, 2.6 GHz, 16 GB Memory, and 4 processor cores. I see by this thread that others have this problem, but are running on Windows and not a Mac. Any ideas would be appreciated.
