1) Message boards : Number crunching : HELP!! (Message 44940) Posted 13 Aug 2007 by ramprat Post: Since you run Seti@Home as well, the 2days takes into account that project as well. Seti has been down for a bit if I remember correctly, So I would have to assume it is playing catch up and getting Seti tasks. There is a better way to have a cache than the connect every day. That is download the latest version of BOINC, in the Advanced GUI (large, grid style one) you will find Preferences. When in there fins the connect every and if you are on a regular connection just set it to 0, then the box next to it a 2 days to that (sorry for lack of precise info and wording, but I'm not at a computer with the new boinc interface on). I detached from seti this morning, I am tired of them always being down. I will try what you suggested...and thank you
2) Message boards : Number crunching : HELP!! (Message 44934) Posted 13 Aug 2007 by ramprat Post: I am having trouble getting new work in... I would like to have 2 days worth and for some reason it looks like when a wu finishes it is not being replaced. Here is what my preferences say: Processor usage Do work while computer is running on batteries? (matters only for portable computers) no Do work while computer is in use? yes Do work only between the hours of (no restriction) Leave applications in memory while suspended? (suspended applications will consume swap space if 'yes') no Switch between applications every (recommended: 60 minutes) 60 minutes On multiprocessors, use at most 16 processors Use at most Enforced by version 5.6 and greater 100 percent of CPU time Disk and memory usage Use at most 100 GB disk space Leave at least (Values smaller than 0.001 are ignored) 0.001 GB disk space free Use at most 50% of total disk space Write to disk at most every 60 seconds Use at most 75% of page file (swap space) Use at most Enforced by version 5.8 and greater 50% of memory when computer is in use Use at most Enforced by version 5.8 and greater 90% of memory when computer is idle Network usage Connect to network about every (determines size of work cache; maximum 10 days) 2 days Confirm before connecting to Internet? (matters only if you have a modem, ISDN or VPN connection) no Disconnect when done? (matters only if you have a modem, ISDN or VPN connection) no Maximum download rate: no limit Maximum upload rate: no limit Use network only between the hours of Enforced by versions 4.46 and greater (no restriction) Skip image file verification? Check this ONLY if your Internet provider modifies image files (UMTS does this, for example). Skipping verification reduces the security of BOINC. no
3) Message boards : Number crunching : How to get a million credits? (Message 44875) Posted 10 Aug 2007 by ramprat Post: [quote]Why is it that my credit granted always is a lot less than claimed? Jon That statement is incorrect. The question was asked about credits... not about RAC. Your response more applied to RAC which is an average of the credit over time. A new participant basically has a number zeros back from before the joined thrown in to their recent average credit. I believe ramprat was reviewing their results list and noted that granted. credit is consistently less then claimed credit. That is correct, in the result section it will read for example 44.96 and granted 40.96 and sometimes in the 30s' Also I am trying to get the banner with my results, and I am unable to figure out how.
