(Message 67738) Posted 29 Aug 2018 by NN Post: Hello Phil, because of overheating-problems I wrote the following app_info.xml for my Linux-PC: <app_info> <app> <name>milkyway</name> <user_friendly_name>MilkyWay@Home</user_friendly_name> </app> <app> <name>milkyway_nbody</name> <user_friendly_name>MilkyWay@Home N-Body Simulation</user_friendly_name> </app> <file_info> <name>milkyway_1.46_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu__opencl_nvidia_101</name> <executable/> </file_info> <file_info> <name>milkyway_nbody_1.70_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu__mt</name> <executable/> </file_info> <app_version> <app_name>milkyway</app_name> <version_num>146</version_num> <platform>x86_64-pc-linux-gnu</platform> <avg_ncpus>0.841226</avg_ncpus> <flops>26085160280.017189</flops> <plan_class>opencl_nvidia_101</plan_class> <file_ref> <file_name>milkyway_1.46_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu__opencl_nvidia_101</file_name> <main_program/> </file_ref> <coproc> <type>NVIDIA</type> <count>1.000000</count> </coproc> <gpu_ram>268435456.000000</gpu_ram> <dont_throttle/> </app_version> <app_version> <app_name>milkyway_nbody</app_name> <version_num>170</version_num> <platform>x86_64-pc-linux-gnu</platform> <avg_ncpus>8.000000</avg_ncpus> <flops>4049561889.679832</flops> <plan_class>mt</plan_class> <file_ref> <file_name>milkyway_nbody_1.70_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu__mt</file_name> <main_program/> </file_ref> </app_version> </app_info> You have to modify - the name of the executables if you are using Windows (or the version changes! In this case run BOINC without an app_info.xml first to download the new files.). - the "plan_class"/"type" according to your GPU (the correct values can be found in your client_state.xml). - the values of the "flops" to have right runtime estimations (-> client_state.xml). - the values of "avg_ncpus" (-> client_state.xml). I hope this will work on your machine, too! With greetings NN

3) Message boards : Number crunching : Tracking in Windows 7 (Message 65840) Posted 15 Nov 2016 by NN Post: I PAID for two spywarefree Windows 7-Licences with MY HARD EARNED MONEY! Why should I kick them? NN Your definition and MS' definition of "spywarefree" aren't the same. I too understand your frustration and violation of principals but I've chalked it up to it's not worth the effort besides.... I have some linux machines and VMs but I still use a windows machine for my daily/typical use. It's my own habits and comfort that keep me subscribed to the MS machine. I don't buy anything but Windows licenses from MS, and when I do I find the best deal. That is the point. I also enjoyed working with Windows for 17(?) years and would like to do so furthermore. But do I therefore want to give up my privacy? I donÂ´t know if I should! NN
4) Message boards : Number crunching : Tracking in Windows 7 (Message 65778) Posted 14 Nov 2016 by NN Post: My answer in the Collatz-Forum: I donÂ´t want to be tracked because I donÂ´t want to be tracked. I allways found what I was searching for. IÂ´m not interested in helping a shop selling goods I donÂ´t need. I recommend the Microsoft shareholders to look for a job, if they need more money. Keep your fingers of my life! BTW Microsofts description of the "Diagnostic Tracking Service" is: "The Diagnostics Tracking Service enables data collection about functional issues in Windows components." This has nothing to do with search site optimization. And - as long as I have no possibility to control what is sent to MS I will never ask anybody before starting a discussion about it! NN There is always Linux!! I PAID for two spywarefree Windows 7-Licences with MY HARD EARNED MONEY! Why should I kick them? NN
