2) Message boards : Number crunching : SERVER DOWN (Message 61061) Posted 11 Feb 2014 by Christopher Herr Post: Well, I have been wondering myself since yesterday what the heck was going on, since my AMD card suddenly went silent... You all know how it is with BOINC projects' information policy, it differs all over them. So it will be up again at some time, when we do not know, someone will eventually tell us what was going on and why it took so long or perhaps I am just all too idealistic... :-P Sarcasm is the only way to deal with these things as far as I could figure it out so far... Stay cool!
3) Message boards : News : windows intelx86 and x86_64 binaries added for the nbody simulations (Message 41766) Posted 26 Aug 2010 by Christopher Herr Post: Hello everyone, I ran a single task of this nbody simulations on an i7880@3.07GHz and it errored out: error task. Thought it might help to let you know, as this app is still in the development stage? Have deactivated the use of CPU though, as my team and me are crunching other things atm. Cheers, CH

5) Message boards : News : testing new application (milkyway3) (Message 39186) Posted 27 Apr 2010 by Christopher Herr Post: Until the wingman comes in that is the "correct" response... it just means that you need to wait for step 2 to complete ... Hello Paul, thx for your answer, but i am aware of the principle of mutual validation in Boinc. The point of my post was not the inconclusive validation, but imho the longer than estimated running time and the missing progress bar as well as the lack of checkpointing. But perhaps these issues have been resolved already. Greetings, Christopher
6) Message boards : News : testing new application (milkyway3) (Message 39180) Posted 27 Apr 2010 by Christopher Herr Post: Hello everybody, i got one of the MilkyWay@Home Version 3 v0.01 WU http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/workunit.php?wuid=96023388 and it told me yesterday at about 22:00 UTC, that there was no time remaining any more. There was no progress bar either. Now it has finally finished with a duration of 15:17 hours (initial estimate was around 12 hours, if memory serves) but with an inconclusive validation as you can see. Working on a Intel C2D T7200 @ 2Ghz, 3 GB Ram, genuine Win 7 X64, ATI Radeon HD 5450 1 GB GDDR3 (SP regretably and not used here, of course) http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/show_host_detail.php?hostid=159241. It was due on 29th of April 9:50. I realize that this is a new app and there might be some "bugs" to work out, no offence. But it is a little awkward nonetheless. And one other thing: there is no checkpointing for this win app, is it? Because everytime i pressed "exit boinc manager" the app began from zero time. If i left it running and preempted apps in memory, then it could continue. Perhaps this isn't possible due to the nature of the used algorithms, that might be one reason i can think of. Thanks for answers and greetings from Germany! Hope this helped and was worth the effort, Christopher

I have never even considered to cancel a wu because of what reason ever there may be. If you are interested in more credits, then simply leave your machines crunching the whole night. Greetings from Germany, Christopher
