Number crunching :
WU file zero size

Post: G'Day mike, The OS will need updating before I worry about the BOINC Client, so when I get to that all will change as going from 32 bit to 64 bit with the Windows computers. I couldn't get the 7.xx versions to run on my Linux computers, needed heaps of extra files that I couldn't work out how to get or find, so dumped it. Conan |

Number crunching :
WU file zero size
(Message 310)
Posted 13 May 2015 by Conan
Post: hello, I see this all the time on 4 computers, thousands of files a day downloaded, taking up some bandwidth as they download. I don't have any Boinc Client newer than 6.12.43 so I have to put up with it. It clogs up the log file but does not stop the WU from processing normally. If you have a single WU on your computer, even if it has not started, you will be getting these downloads. They will keep going till the WU is finished processing. Maybe I should think about updating my Client? Nah, not just yet, that is a job for another day. Conan Conan |

Post: I agree that the credit given is working and not to bad, I am quite happy with it. My 64 Bit AMD Phenom Linux systems do a WU between 6,100 and 6,300 seconds. My 32 Bit AMD Phenom and FX 8350 systems do a work unit between 10,300 and 12,700 seconds. So halving the awarded credit like it was suggested above would really punish my Windows hosts, whilst still giving me a pretty good return on the my Linux hosts. If you think it is too high then just lower it a little from 222.22 per WU to say 200.00 per WU. It drops the amount awarded but it is still a good reward for those of us running older, slower systems. In my case as I also use an older BOINC Client I have the extra issue of the thousands of downloading files that fill up my logs, even downloading when a WU has not started yet. This causes a lot of traffic on my systems so I think that the bit extra credit makes up for that. My thoughts Conan |

Post: Still not back to normal? April 1st is over. It is a joke that you can "sit" on at least, either name (Uranus, Urecktum). My current planet is very useful in that regard. Conan |

Post: That cruncher was born on April 1, fool's day? Well Dirk, I was born on April 1st, am no ones fool, but I did not suggest the change. I will have to look at all the planets to see what they are called, I have seen Vulcan and Bajor, trying to recall where I have heard of Bajor before. Conan EDIT::-- AHHH, Very Funny, we have STAR TREK / STAR WARS fans in our midst, the change is OK by me. Great to see some fun put back into Science. |

Post: Wow thanks Krzysztof. Interesting scale. For me it is going to be a Concerted effort to get to Earth (1,000,000). With a really Determined effort I might get to Venus (5,000,000). However the Mighty effort to get to Mercury (25,000,000) and Stupendous effort to get to the Sun (100,000,000) is probably beyond my reach. I have Neptune so onwards to Uranus. Conan |

Post: G'Day Krzysztof, Just confirmed that you can't post to the Number Crunching forum without getting the error ""Users with no hosts attached are not allowed to post links"" 1) I have hosts attached and have returned work but still can't initiate a new post. 2) I am not trying to post links (but I should be able too). 3) I also am unable to initiate a new post in the Science Forum. 4) I am unable to initiate a new post in the Cafe forum. Your Spam blocking techniques are very good as NO one can post except if the Admin has started a post then we can post there. So this needs to be addressed so we post in the correct forum about any problems we are having. Thanks Conan |

Post: It appears that I already had an account here since the 4th Feb due to the BOINC Wide Teams import. So I left the Test Project as is in case there is any more testing to be done and just had to get my password resent to me to access my account (BOINC wide teams import never imports my password correctly so I have to keep changing it on every new project). Attached with no problems and work units downloaded. Initial estimate was for 1 hour work units but BOINC was optimistic as they appear to be going to take between 3 to 5 hours on my computers. All appears to be functioning well, e-mail notification works, work unit downloads/uploads work and the forum pages work, so all in all going well for a new project. Conan |
