I have wondered what it would take to get MS to reconsider this, and start looking again at the NT 3.51 microkernel architecture again. Firing all of management including Bill?

(snip) Predictor is extremely unstable. It did exactly what you are describing on my Mac as well, plus has other problems, so what you found there doesn't surprise me. I've seen Predictor do this under Linux, Win2k, and WinXP as well. This is one reason I stopped running it several months ago. I was curious to know if it still behaved this way, but this thread answers that question... Member of the KWSN team. The KWSN forums ID: 6891 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Bill, the problem with Win9x and "Leave in Memory=Yes" is that when a science app is paused, the execution timer continues to run. With two science apps, this will effectively double your "cpu time" as far as Boinc is concerned. I've got an old PII 400 ( https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/show_host_detail.php?hostid=2303 )running Rosetta, Predictor and SETI. It is set to "Leave in Memory-No". It has very little useage other than as a cruncher and about 1 in 12 Rosetta units fail. ID: 7076 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Einstein & Rosetta work together well on win-98 and keep in memory=yes, add predictor and it falls in a heap. Try taking Predictor off (or setting no more work for a while) and see what happens. Please see my earlier post in this thread for more info. If you find you can only run Rosetta witn 'yes', and only run Predictor with 'no', then you will need to choose which project you most want. Or install Linux ;-) ID: 7115 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
