Posted 20 Oct 2010 by James Nelson Post: The 4 valid units took 40-43000 seconds. Also has tons of errors, most seem to have timed out. my point is how did he download so many he should only have 100 or 120 at most how did he get so many tasks if I can only get 4 per core ???? |

Posted 20 Oct 2010 by James Nelson Post: That Opteron looks like a 4 way server using 6 core Opteron CPUs. So, BM tells the project that there are 24 cores (6 cores per CPU and 4 CPUs present). That means it can download 6 Milkyway work units per core, or a total of 24 x 6 = 144 WUs. If you look at his task list he has over 3000 I stopped looking at over 800 all showing in process. |

Posted 18 Dec 2009 by James Nelson Post: Some people just don't want to help themselves. if you took the time to look you would see that I do run optimized they just keep upping the size till my slowest box cant return one in time. |

Posted 18 Dec 2009 by James Nelson Post: but it looks like the older systems will need more than 72 hours of CPU-time … in which case they’ll have to drop out. If the project only cares about GPU and not about my lowliest cruncher then Ill vote with my feet NNT for all 4 boxes and then Ill be gone |

Panic Mode On

Posted 23 Dec 2008 by James Nelson Post: [/quote] Well, you have to make the best out of this situation, my other 8 backup projects are still there and waiting, all of them very interesting too !! Just keep on crunching ! Kurt edit : 7 projects, `cause RieselSieve isn`t with us anymore !!![/quote] Just making a point that often two projects aren't enough. Murphy has a way insuring that at some point both will be out of work. as you can see by my sig I have more than two active projects and my rigs will stay warm crunching for the others through the drought, no panic here. |

Posted 23 Dec 2008 by James Nelson Post: The best advice I can give is to turn panic mode off! but when they both are out of work it is time to panic. |

Posted 22 Nov 2008 by James Nelson Post: I renamed my app_info.xml and restarted boinc on all my systems and they are still using Milksop's 1.22 and the test app without any trouble so far. Thank you! I have renamed the app_info.xml file and Milksop's 1.22 is indeed running. Have not gotten a download of the test app or any of the test WU's yet--yes I did set my preferences to allow the test app. Best regards, EigenState What are you renaming in the app_info.xml file & what are you renaming it to ??? I think renaming the file isn't neccessary. Just add the new "test app" and there you go! ;-) ____________ Lovely greetings, Cori just change the xml to bak and restart, unless you are good at writing app_info files and know where to download the new app from, you can't just add the new test app,because the app_info.xml file needs to have entry's that include the name of the test app and you have to download the files yourself boinc won't do it for you, then each time they release a new test app you need to start over, edit the app_info file and download the new app file. |

Posted 8 Nov 2008 by James Nelson Post: I tend to prefer to maintain something of a balance in my project total work rankings -- as you can see from my signature here. HUH! not to nitpick but your milkyway rac is almost 4 time as much as the rest put together how is that balanced |

Posted 2 Nov 2008 by James Nelson Post: any that I've gotten last two days have been re sends and by looking at the other results from those computers it looks like they just suspended MW and let them time out. why not abort them or detach ??? seems some are boycotting the project. |

Posted 2 Dec 2007 by James Nelson Post: I think I will push it up to 90 and see if it effects things. used to do that but I stoped, this rig is limited on ram (160 M) and seti uses 32 megs i think and on occasion I would end up with two or even three instances in ram at once. |

Posted 2 Dec 2007 by James Nelson Post: isnt it default that boinc switch between the projects you run on your machine every 60 minutes? at least my machines to that. it can be changed to highr/lower intervals in your boinc config. there have been endless discussions about that, the switch intervol setting is kind of a rule of thumb, it has more to do with Short term debt as to when the switch accures, although I haven't tried to set it higher. I think I will push it up to 90 and see if it effects things. |

Posted 2 Dec 2007 by James Nelson Post: This is pretty weird. We're looking into the memory leaks (and the app crashing on suspend) -- however i'm not quite sure why windows ME is acting so weirdly. I'm going to try and get access to a computer with that so we can test it.[/quote] I'm not sure if its just a win ME problem as my other hosts run the wu so fast that they never need to get suspended. the host in question is a 500 Mhz celeron laptop, most units run in under an hour but a few run longer, thats when the trouble starts, boinc suspends milkyway and runs seti. now with the new partical swarm units this host might not be able to complete one if this isnt resolved. Thankyou for all that you have done and I appriciate all your hard work and dedication. hopefully this old laptop can continue to contribute to your project, if not its not the end of the world. |
