41) Message boards : Number crunching : Windows x64 official Boinc client in testing (Message 39712) Posted 21 Apr 2007 by KSMarksPsych Post: Does it run the x86 rosetta app? Or does it only run x64 science apps? AFAIK, it will only request a 64 bit app. Rom has written the code for the core client to fall back to requesting the 32 bit science app when no 64 bit one is available. http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/ticket/80 But it appears there is still work to do client side as well as sever side. It is listed as a 5.10.x milestone though. So perhaps on the next major release.
42) Message boards : Number crunching : Vista errors (Message 39182) Posted 9 Apr 2007 by KSMarksPsych Post: I have read somewhere that you should shut down Boinc before shuting down the computer when you run Vista. Has anybody any info on this? Anders n This post has a work around. Be warned, it involves registry hacking.
43) Message boards : Number crunching : BOINC 5.8.11 Released to ALL (Win, Lin, & Mac) (Message 37601) Posted 8 Mar 2007 by KSMarksPsych Post: cache-size = 10 days Too high for a 10-day deadline, see this table...{/url] [url=http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=1540]This thread and this thread for some discussion on the issue. JM7 (the scheduler guru) chimed in on them too.
44) Message boards : Number crunching : Communication deferred (Message 35648) Posted 28 Jan 2007 by KSMarksPsych Post: If the time frame is ridiculously long go to the projects tab and highlight the waiting project, then click "Update Now". That should initiate a connection and reset the timer. Sometimes, if the project is down a while, BOINC can up the communication delay to a ridiculous value, like a week or more. It's actually a bug that should be fixed in an upcoming version. It is fixed in latest alpha version. We're testing the crap out of it right now trying to get it ready for release.
45) Message boards : Cafe Rosetta : Ideas... (Message 34989) Posted 18 Jan 2007 by KSMarksPsych Post: I believe Rytis (of PrimeGrid) is responsible for the BOINC forum code. You might want to drop him an email (you'll have to see if you can find it on the PG site) or post in the forums there with idea you have. If they are feasible he might be able to work them into the standard BOINC server code.
46) Message boards : Number crunching : problem with core 2 duo not running both cores (Message 31332) Posted 18 Nov 2006 by KSMarksPsych Post: sk which BOINC version are you running on the box in question? BOINC is adding a new feature, I believe it is in beta presently, which allows you to use a fraction of the CPU. Check General Preferences top section on processor usage, last entry for "use at most ... %". You want 100%. Some users have machines that run too hot, or fan makes too much noise, so they want to use less then 100% to control things. BOINC goes idle for a second once and a while to achieve the desired CPU usage... but only once you get to... wish I could remember which BOINC version. I think it is BOINC 5.5. It was introduced in the 5.5 alpha line. They are alpha testing the 5.7 line. Use at your own risk. I can tell you I'm having a heck of a time getting the throttling to work. It runs for about 5.5 minutes wall time and then all processing stops.

48) Message boards : Rosetta@home Science : Vaccines being designed for nuisance illnesses (Message 28723) Posted 29 Sep 2006 by KSMarksPsych Post: I don't see sinus and ear problems as "neuisances". For some people they can be very signficant. I've had ear surgery from the impact of ear infections and have lived with chronic sinus infections all my life. The cost of those to insurance are significant. Just my 2 cents.
49) Message boards : Number crunching : problems whit Account Key (Message 27897) Posted 20 Sep 2006 by KSMarksPsych Post: I can't add anything to solving his problem, but hotmail stinks. I've found that it'll eat messages for no good reason. For example, I get two daily emails. Things will be going along swimmingly, and then for no apparent reason I won't get them for a few days. The missing messages never show up. I know they are getting sent because when I started having the problem I subscribed using a gmail account and got them there ok.
50) Message boards : Rosetta@home Science : "large w/u I cannot find on list" (Message 22427) Posted 14 Aug 2006 by KSMarksPsych Post: What is your runtime preference? The estimated time to completion usually isn't accurate b/c the percent complete only updates at the end of a model. If you can take a peak at the graphics look for the end of a model (don't know how many step it is tho). It will checkpoint at the end of each model.

59) Message boards : Number crunching : You are cordially invited to a BBQ PARTY!!!!! (Message 20459) Posted 18 Jul 2006 by KSMarksPsych Post: I fired Rosie back up to 100%. I occassionally have to snooze BOINC b/c of heat, but you can have my cpu time for the next 8 days. Then I'm flying back the US and won't have internet access until the second week of August. My poor CPU won't know what to do with itself.
60) Message boards : Number crunching : Can't merge computers (Message 20372) Posted 17 Jul 2006 by KSMarksPsych Post: 'Merge' is now enabled (Server Upgrade)....Cheers, Rog. I tried merging the three computers named "TOM" (account tomba). No joy. They are most definately identical; I only have one!! Any thoughts? Thanks. Do any of them still have pending results on them? I'm not sure but I think all results must be cleared out to merge. If I'm wrong, sorry.
