2) Message boards : Number crunching : And if we DONT run a "FASTER" App.? (Message 5967) Posted 5 Nov 2008 by Mac-Nic Post: If one realy only need Credits and don't care about sience I advice to go FreeHAL (or is it FreeFall) CPU Time 161 sec claimed credits 0.90, granted 100 credits with stock app. ==================================================================================================== 330904 95255 5 Nov 2008 10:47:07 UTC 5 Nov 2008 10:48:37 UTC Over Success Done 90.00 0.5045 100.5045 Task ID 368653 Name ConvertDatabases_610215958045_1 Workunit 179153 Created 5 Nov 2008 10:40:47 UTC Sent 5 Nov 2008 10:45:56 UTC Received 5 Nov 2008 10:48:37 UTC Server state Over Outcome Success Client state Done Exit status 0 (0x0) Computer ID 1358 Report deadline 17 Nov 2008 0:32:35 UTC CPU time 161 stderr out <core_client_version>5.10.45</core_client_version> <![CDATA[ <stderr_txt> wrapper: starting wrapper: running .\runner.exe () "my" variable $TEMP_FILE masks earlier declaration in same scope at AI/SemanticNetwork.pm line 722.

3) Message boards : Number crunching : Faster application (links inside) (Message 5792) Posted 2 Nov 2008 by Mac-Nic Post: Either it was somehow cached, or you wrote 30 minutes on that few lines ;) It was the first option,....honest or...ahem.. i need an optimizer between my fingers and brain. :)
4) Message boards : Number crunching : Faster application (links inside) (Message 5790) Posted 1 Nov 2008 by Mac-Nic Post: Just a minor observation. Hmmm....Is it the old Lada joke in your profile? LoL You can choose between 2 colors when you buy a Lada red or red. Profile quote The faster app comes in two flavors application for Windows 32 and 64Bit versions and application for Windows 32 and 64Bit versions Thx again for the optimized app. Mac-Nic
5) Message boards : Number crunching : Milestones (Message 4542) Posted 30 Jul 2008 by Mac-Nic Post: My first 1M project is a fact! With thanks to our competitors for keeping me focused on the same project long enough :p Congratulations for reaching the 1 Mil. Milestone. Warm CPU regards. PS. Hmm...I'll never say "don't hesitate to crunch faster than Me" anymore.. ;), but I wasn't the real competitor.
6) Message boards : Number crunching : Compute errors (Message 4493) Posted 27 Jul 2008 by Mac-Nic Post: Yesterday I got some compute errors on 2 of my machines. See http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/results.php?userid=9, if they haven't been purged already <grmbl>. In all cases I got "process got signal 11". This could indicate a hardware problem, if it weren't that it occurs on 2 different (physical) machines. Both clients are Ubuntu 8.04 64-bit running in VMWare Workstation 6.0.4-built 93057, hosted by 64-bit Vista. Hi Tutta, "Signal 11" can be a sign of low virtual memory. Best regards
7) Message boards : Number crunching : Credit Calculations. (Message 4489) Posted 27 Jul 2008 by Mac-Nic Post: Easy solution for cross project parity. Let every official project app. grant slightly lower credit/hour in comparission to seti(official app.) and allow optimized 3th party app's for every Boinc project. BTW.I remember the time when a famous business machines builder was accused for cheating and removed from the (seti classic) statslist b'cause they used an optimized app. A litle off topic. Personaly I don't give a dime about the credits b'cause they reflect nothing. For about the same (+/- 200 different) cpu_time at seti I'll get 50, 54, 63, 75 or 84 credits (depending on the weather?) or if I'm realy lucky and my wingman uses an old boinc client (4.xx) I'll get 20 ~ 30 credits Example Seti (Boinc credit system) Total credit 550,414 <======== represents what? Recent average credit 181.42 <===== totaly meaningless if you have +/- 20k or more pending credits It would be different if the creditsystem was 1 credit/min. Example Seti (classic credit system) SETI@home classic workunits 9,047 <==== it doesn't tell me if they where faulty or not, SETI@home classic CPU time 57,200 hours <===== but here I can see how much time I've spent contributing to the greenhouse efect. Warm CPU regards.

10) Message boards : Number crunching : Validation anyone (Message 3855) Posted 19 Jun 2008 by Mac-Nic Post: They have cancelled all the wus without giving any credits Good job the pendings are gone and we can start with a clean list. Thx for the reply
11) Message boards : Number crunching : Validation anyone (Message 3848) Posted 19 Jun 2008 by Mac-Nic Post: I have about a 500 WU's Pending on diferent PC's. See this PC. But when i click the work unit ID for details i'll get a 'can't find workunit' error. Are they purged before the validating process started ?
