1) Message boards : Number crunching : N-Body long processing time (Message 62625) Posted 25 Oct 2014 by WildKard Post: Mine just died. "Aborting task de_nbody_08_05_orphan_sim_3_1412191206_12667_1: exceeded disk limit: 56.86MB > 50.00MB" That 50MB number must be from Milkyway@Home's programming? My settings allocate several GB to all the projects.
2) Message boards : Number crunching : N-Body long processing time (Message 62621) Posted 24 Oct 2014 by WildKard Post: It doesn't matter, until Netflix gives me a separate client so that I can bind BOINC to watch the EXE (I suppose I could have it watch for Silverlight but there's the possibility that something else on the web might use it) or until the Boinc Manager itself gives me hotkeys/quicklinks so that I can change it's behaviour... I just put things to suspend when I'm doing something intense and leave it on the rest of the time. But re: deadline time, Milkyway@Home is among the projects with the shortest wait before demanding results. Depending on workload and how much I'm actually turning the computer on; that amount may be reasonable or may not. But it certainly is shorter than what some other projects demand for my volunteerism.
3) Message boards : Number crunching : N-Body long processing time (Message 62619) Posted 24 Oct 2014 by WildKard Post: Yeah I have 45h so far on a WU that reads @ 56%. Just passed the deadline yesterday. Work Unit 630043372 This project needs to have longer deadlines anyway, since I primarily use BOINC as a passive system and turn it off when I need the full usage of my computer (or am watching HD Netflix... the jitter I get with CPU usage annoys me).
