1) Message boards : Number crunching : Down for maintenance? (Message 37622) Posted 21 Mar 2010 by Rob.B Post: I noticed it when I started backing up completed work units a few hours ago, but as there have been "one or two" problems of late I guessed someone somewhere would be looking at it.
2) Message boards : Number crunching : getting no new workunits (Message 33838) Posted 27 Nov 2009 by Rob.B Post: Is there another feeder issue as I seem to be getting only one WU every two to three hours? No where near enough to keep my quad fed. Rob.B
3) Message boards : Number crunching : 6.10.1 Posted. (Message 30311) Posted 7 Sep 2009 by Rob.B Post: Tried 6.10.3, the GPU scheduling was much better but the CPU scheduler refused to download anything with a short timescale ("won't finish in time" message). Ended up with all four CPU cores idle unless I downloaded Climate Prediction. At one point it was running 8 tasks (I have a quad with 2 GPU), it was running 4 at normal CPU, 2 GPU and 2 CPU High Priority. That just has to be wrong! Gave up and reverted to 6.6.31 Rob.
4) Message boards : Number crunching : BOINC has a new King of the hill, gues who ;) (Message 30310) Posted 7 Sep 2009 by Rob.B Post: Seti is out of work, issues with the data feed from Aricebo. May be Tuesday before they get it sorted.
5) Message boards : Number crunching : MW@H vs BOINC (Message 30009) Posted 31 Aug 2009 by Rob.B Post: It may help a little if we knew the version of Boinc you are using, possibly also the OS you are running (32/64 bit), these may help as a pointer to something. Rob.
6) Message boards : Number crunching : Won't finish in time - no downloads (Message 29976) Posted 30 Aug 2009 by Rob.B Post: Sorry my last post vanished! I had this when I updated Boinc, I backed out to 6.6.31 and have no further problems with this message. If you don't have a copy then try this link, you should find the version you need whatever your OS! http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/?C=M;O=D Rob.B Made link active. Cheers.
7) Message boards : Number crunching : 6.10.1 Posted. (Message 29975) Posted 30 Aug 2009 by Rob.B Post: I have tried 6.6.36 and 6.10.0 (and .1) couldn't geyt any of them to download any MW (won't finish on time) [rubbish] . I'm currently running 6.6.31 as it seems to be the latest version where the scheduler has any idea about what it is doing. Rob.B

10) Message boards : Number crunching : server crash (July 29) (Message 28515) Posted 29 Jul 2009 by Rob.B Post: Well done on the prompt recovery, as a DBA I know the feeling when a database goes belly up. Rob.B
11) Message boards : Number crunching : Ugh! (Message 28382) Posted 26 Jul 2009 by Rob.B Post: Nice fairy, but the problem still exists for me. Same here! No upload, no download.

12) Message boards : Number crunching : More Invalid wu's (Message 27039) Posted 4 Jul 2009 by Rob.B Post: Still getting frequent 0 credit wu's (see previous posts) the latest is http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/workunit.php?wuid=92341139 . Is this issue going to be adressed?
13) Message boards : Number crunching : No Credit. (Message 26660) Posted 28 Jun 2009 by Rob.B Post: I have a valid workunit that finished ok, but has been granted ZERO credit. Resuilt ID: http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/result.php?resultid=90562382 Can anyone shed any light as to why this should be? Rob.B
14) Message boards : Number crunching : Why is it so hard to get work? (Message 23183) Posted 24 May 2009 by Rob.B Post: I'm about to drop MW, the WU shortage is becoming rather silly, only 3 WU's (in one go) in almost 3 weeks. How odd when I quote the text is there, but all I see is "I" when I read the message! Dropping out of MW for a few months until it gets it's WU act together. Rob.
