You solved the problem for me. Thank you kindly; it's appreciated. Glad to help. That one's tripped me up more than once in the past. Happy crunching! MarkR

Sorry, Boinc is a bit weird when you end a run. Oh, sure, no problem. I should have figured that it wouldn't be as easy or quick as we'd like. Keep up the good work.

48) Message boards : News : N-Body 1.32 (Message 59434) Posted 23 Jul 2013 by ritterm Post: I am just about to announce the release! Excellent...Thanks for the update, Jake.
49) Message boards : News : N-Body 1.32 (Message 59401) Posted 19 Jul 2013 by ritterm Post: The error you are seeing will be resolved in the next release...For now, there is nothing you can do about it. Thanks for the feedback, Jake. Is there any way of knowing when that's going to be? Just curious...
50) Message boards : News : N-Body 1.32 (Message 59395) Posted 19 Jul 2013 by ritterm Post: I just started running these n-body tasks, so I'm not familiar with them, in general. I know that it's a small sample size, but I'm running an error rate of 15%-20% overall (as of now, 8 errors in 43 tasks). All stderr output is similar to this: <core_client_version>7.0.64</core_client_version> <![CDATA[ <message> The system cannot find the drive specified. (0xf) - exit code 15 (0xf) </message> <stderr_txt> <search_application> milkyway_nbody 1.32 Windows x86_64 double OpenMP, Crlibm </search_application> Using OpenMP 4 max threads on a system with 4 processors <search_likelihood>1.#QNAN0000000000</search_likelihood> Failed to calculate likelihood 21:45:13 (3196): called boinc_finish A variety of hosts are involved, a mix of Win7-64, Linux, Intel, and AMD. All hosts with errors have returned valid results. It doesn't look like it, but are there any unusual RAM requirements? Any problems running n-body alongside GPU tasks that require a dedicated CPU or make significant use of one? MarkR
51) Message boards : News : User location visualization (Message 59010) Posted 21 Jun 2013 by ritterm Post: Excellent, Travis. Thanks! Very cool to see blue in Iceland, the northern reaches of Scandinavia, Mauritius (or Reunion?), Sri Lanka, Tasmania. Awesome. I'm pretty sure I'm that blue dot in the mid-Atlantic coast of the US. No... No, not that one... No. A little to the north... No. More to the east... No... <sigh>
52) Message boards : News : post scheduling issues here (Message 58821) Posted 13 Jun 2013 by ritterm Post: I've been getting a steady stream of v1.02 (opencl_amd_ati) work since 13 Jun 2013, 1:58:56 UTC.
53) Message boards : News : another scheduler update (Message 58766) Posted 12 Jun 2013 by ritterm Post: #3 solved for me... I've been getting a steady amount of work for my 5870 since about 2335 UTC.
54) Message boards : News : another scheduler update (Message 58745) Posted 11 Jun 2013 by ritterm Post: Made an update, let me know if this let you get some ATI GPU workunits. D'oh! Okay, I'm back in business...for now! ;-)
55) Message boards : News : another scheduler update (Message 58741) Posted 11 Jun 2013 by ritterm Post: 3. hosts with ATI GPUs aren't getting workunits... I'm in that boat. My 5870 host got it's last WU at about 1950 UTC.
56) Message boards : News : What users aren't getting GPU workunits? (Message 58667) Posted 11 Jun 2013 by ritterm Post: My 1090t/5870/Win7-64 host hasn't gotten any GPU WU's since earlier today at about 1616 UTC. Same host has been getting WU's since about 2331 UTC -- they seem to be running fine. I made no changes to any preferences.
57) Message boards : News : What users aren't getting GPU workunits? (Message 58634) Posted 10 Jun 2013 by ritterm Post: I'm trying to figure out what users aren't getting GPU workunits. Is it everyone? Or just some people with certain types of ATI cards? My 1090t/5870/Win7-64 host hasn't gotten any GPU WU's since earlier today at about 1616 UTC. HTH, MarkR
58) Message boards : Number crunching : Pending validation (Message 58448) Posted 30 May 2013 by ritterm Post: Looks like the validator is running...but >620K WU's waiting for validation (as of this post). [edit]Coming down nicely... Now <75K[/edit]
59) Message boards : Number crunching : Boinc Client for Android (Message 57614) Posted 22 Mar 2013 by ritterm Post: thx for the quick answer! Glad to help, Alexander... At least I hope I'm helping! :-) Yes, you're right, my preferences are set tu use only 50% of cpu-time... Be careful... If you are describing the "Use at most <xxx.x> % CPU time", that's a different preference than what mentioned in my last post. Anyway, is there someting to read about that or is it simply a 'learning by doing'? For me, it has been mostly "learning by doing" and reading posts in project forums (like this one). There's some interesting information about BOINC on Android at the Berkeley website. There's also a link that goes to a discussion about the impact of BOINC on Phones.
60) Message boards : Number crunching : Boinc Client for Android (Message 57609) Posted 22 Mar 2013 by ritterm Post: I installed native boinc on my nexus one hour ago. Now I see the progress bar color switching from green to yellow sometimes... It sounds to me like your tasks are repeatedly suspending and resuming. I found this to be the case when I first started running it on my mobile phone. Check your local preferences (Menu -> Manage Client -> Local preferences) and see if any of those could be causing the problem. When I set mine up, I believe the computing setting "While processor usage is less than..." was set at "0.0" That pretty much meant tasks never ran because the phone was almost always doing something. You may have to adjust other settings to get the BOINC client to behave in such a way that's acceptable to you, especially temperature and battery usage. Good luck! Cheers, MarkR
