Processing of chunks of data takes too long
(Message 4712)
Posted 26 May 2021 by Grzegorz Skoczylas Post: That is a very precise description. Thanks :-) Throttle program mentioned by me in previous post is very convenient. You define maximum temperature for CPU and GPU, and the program automatically controls performance of BOINC processes not to exceed this temperature. This works very well if you are not using a dedicated computer for BOINC calculations. These computers of mine are used for different tasks. Sometimes they are more loaded, sometimes - less or almost not at all. I simply want to allocate free computer resources to BOINC calculations, but I don't want those computers to be noisy due to CPU overheating. |

Posted 25 May 2021 by Grzegorz Skoczylas Post: It seems to me that counting several projects has almost nothing to do here. If I have several projects and I allocate the same amount of resources to each, it takes correspondingly longer to calculate each project in real time. Nevertheless, the amount of CPU time needed to compute a portion of the data is basically the same. I can try installing BOINC in Ubuntu (on Windows).Is there a description somewhere on how to do it? I use Throttle (https://efmer.com/download-tthrottle) to keep my CPU from overheating by BOINC tasks. Is there any similar program for Ubuntu? |

Na drugim, nowszym i silniejszym, zadania Universe są czasem liczone kilkanaście godzin, ale często 2-4 dni.

Posted 24 May 2021 by Grzegorz Skoczylas Post: Processing a chunk of data often takes 4 days of CPU work. In reality, it takes much longer because data from another project is also processed in the menaantime. In my opinion, these portions of data are too large. In the meantime, the computer load of other tasks may change, or other circumstances may arise (e.g. a few days off). As a result, I can waste, for example, 3.5 days of processor operation because, as a result of such circumstances, calculations may be completed well after the deadline. I believe that processing portions of data should not take more than a dozen CPU hours, and ideally the computation can be completed in a few CPU hours. Otherwise, the larger the portions of data, the more CPU time can potentially be wasted. |

Problematic cooperation with Boinc Stats BAM
(Message 4465)
Posted 8 Sep 2020 by Grzegorz Skoczylas Post: I've been participating in BOINC project for a long time, but recently I've added Universe@Home to the list of several projects that interest me. It seems to me that the BAM in Boinc Stats does not take into account the points obtained in this project in my statistics. It looks a little weird. At https://www.boincstats.com/bam/projects, the list of my projects includes Universe@Home, but when I want to check the statistics of this project, the manager displays the message “User ID doesn't exist in Universe@Home or doesn't have any credit”. It's strange, because during those few days I got several thousand credits in this project. In my other projects there is no such problem. What can I do with it? |
