Small update.

We still work on GPU version but it is very slow process...



If it would be helpful .... let the volunteer base know what areas of expertise might possibly assist in your efforts for a GPU application.


There are a lot of willing people who professionally have skills and knowledge that they would willingly give the project.


Thanks

Why does that not surprise me.
Does the term "bull in a china shop" ring a bell and give you an inspiration ?
I thought my post would fly over your head. So you're saying I'm a big strong bull and you're all weak little fragile pieces of china, makes sense. Ah, you're an American, the country where they think "damn" and "crap" are swearwords.


Oh my... you are a giggle. And well past any hope.

Back to the riddle for you.

You might want to look at the bigger picture and consider your technique. You have a lot of knowledge to share. And with a more moderate delivery more people might gain something instead of tuning you out.
I speak plain English, look up "northerner" in the UK. "I say what I like and I like what I bloody well say". Anyone who can't handle abrupt and to the point facts can get lost.

And I have no idea what your riddle meant.

All clock cycles are not equal. But all clock cycles are cumulative.

And every completed Task is the same .... Done

Yes, I am running 0.5 gpu_usage on all my gpu projects. So divide that 220 seconds in half.
I looked at the top participants list and most of the first page have cpu runtimes in the one hour to two hour values. So nowhere near your 2750 second runtimes.
1.5 hours is only twice as long as mine. Not everyone has Ryzen 9s. But I thought it sensible to compare a good CPU with your good GPU.

And my point stands, you're not achieving the huge speed increase with GPU as you can with say Einstein, so you're wasting your GPU.

Compare one of your GPUs and one of your CPUs with each other on Asteroids, then compare the same two on Einstein.


Well maybe he likes the Asteroids@Home project. If so then until Einstein starts serving up Asteroid tasks on the Einstein project site he will probably leave his GPU's running where they are ... don't you think?

Asteroids shows two windows apps that show "(cuda55)" in the Name / version. Is this an indication of a NVIDIA Application ?

I still until now cannot get Android to download one Universe project. It was working and then it just stopped months ago... And I have tried to auto add it, to individually add it, nothing is working.. suggestions? I have very limited projects I can do on my pad as there is limited memory.... please help.

Bonic version 7.4.53.. . seems to be the latest version from 2014.. old, but was working... but suddenly stopped last year.


Jeffery you will need to upgrade to BOINC Android version 7.18.1. It is not on the Play store it is on the main BOINC down load page at

Two weeks? It takes two weeks to change a hard drive(s)? What the heck is going on here? I thought there'd be some degree of professionalism in a project like this, but it seems like it's being run out of somebody's garage. Why continue to put effort into such an amateur project? Sheesh. Time to find something else.


Take your time... you have not been working on this project long enough to complain about the project in such a negative way. We will respect you more when you have been around longer and have a better understanding of the project.

Thanks

So it appears that this whole project is a one man show.

Health issues are terrible, but if I am to contribute to something I like to know that its a worthy cause with wider implications not just someone's personal university project.




The base institution behind the project according to the about this project section is the Nicolaus Copernicus Astronomical Center which is part of the Polish Academy of Science ... URL below
https://www.camk.edu.pl/en/

The principal professor is Krzysztof Belczyński who works in works in the Astronomical Observatory University of Warsaw.

Hey Brother,

Don't even think about this stuff.... except that you have a lot of concerned patrons and comrads.

I got COVID on Sept 25... my wife as well. Lasted 15 days. No hospital stay, we roughed it out at home. It was intense....

Then a month later, I caught it again..... only this time just 5 days....

Stay positive.... stay focused.... get well and healthy.

Do Airborne Effervescents as directed, MetaMucil gel caps as directed, Advil as directed and eat. If just noodle soup, cheese. Keep food in your gut. Drink Gatorade, water, V-8, Tomato. Take showers, feel clean and refreshed ...... after about day 10, we walked for like 5 - 10 minutes a day. Just easy.... felt the sun....the air, it was purifying...

Get well friend.



Off subject but with good intention.

If there are any suggestions, they should be discussed publicly in the forum. That is what it is for.

Do you have the latest BOINC? The last one had a certificate problem. There are many posts on it, if you look.



If you are running a Windows system you should be using BOINC version 7.16.20

You can get it here

So i have been unable to download ANY tasks. I look at the team averages among persons and the the numbers appear to be diminishing proportionately implying that other ARE NOT receiving new tasks.,..

Something is wrong here. I downloaded the BIONIC version and still the same. Almost like the server is down. Help or advice?

Thanks

Hi People

The following fix:
https://github.com/xenetis/letsencrypt-expiration

I found not only worked on my 5 Raspbian nodes, it has also worked on my 4 HypriotOS nodes. All good.

My single Armbian (bionic) node is also now working. It was fixed using:
sudo apt-get install ca-certificates -y

Android? Shit, what hasn't been affected by this?

Can the Android device be updated?

You may have to search the web for that one or maybe contact your vendor.

Michael B
P.S Maybe read this:
https://letsencrypt.org/2020/12/21/extending-android-compatibility.html


For Android

My two Androids are both running fine with both successfully turning in tasks using the 7.18.1 version down loaded directly from BOINC USC at
