If you\'re talking about 64 OS for Macs, that\'s correct.
See the Applications page in the blue menu on the left.

Um, it is the same computer ... happily running the same model and the only thing that changed was that I installed 6.1.x over 5.10.45 ...

With 5.10.45 reinstalled I have not seen a trickle up yet and a forced Update did not create one ... so I am waiting for it to get to the next one :\"naturally\", which i hope will be soon ... I should be in phase 3 already and am at 74% something done ... with 42 hours to go ...

For whatever reason, version 6 of BOINC reports the Mac Pro differently even though it works ...

For what it is worth, Sztaki has the same problem ... works fine with 5.10.45 but not with 6.1.x ...

after reinstall:

And BOINC 6.* is another thing that this project is still working on.
I think that the needed changes are ready, just that the server software won\'t be implemented until 6.* comes out of testing.

Ok, just hit TS 64804 in phase 3 and the trickle up message went through.

Well, I was just warning you folks in case you had not already heard ... :)

It will also be a potential \"early adopter\" problem if others \"upgrade\" early ...

There\'s supposed to be a warning message in the latest 6.* build to only use it if they\'re alpha testing.

Paul, if you\'re alpha-testing BOINC v.6, are you sure that CPDN is a good project to try it on? Or maybe I should say try on it. I think that Jorden, who\'s alpha-testing BOINC all the time, just ended up aborting the slab models he tried on BOINC v.6. I think the BOINC alpha testers mostly attach to projects with short workunits so there\'s less completed work to lose when things go wrong. They sacrifice whatever tasks it takes to test BOINC.

Anyway, the current CPDN models aren\'t designed to run on BOINC 6. We won\'t be encouraging CPDN members to become early adopters unless they\'re BOINC alpha-testers. I think (but am not yet sure) that after the public release of BOINC 6 we\'ll be advising people to set CPDN to No New Tasks, complete their running models, then upgrade BOINC and fetch new work.

By the way, nobody will be obliged to upgrade to BOINC 6 any time soon. Version 5 will still be around and supported for a long while.

Paul, with BOINC 6 but a CPDN model designed for BOINC 5, can you see the model graphics?

Mo,

Um, I think I did call them up ... hard to say for sure ...

I was kind of trying v 6 on a whim, and actually have gone back and forth from 5 to 6 and back to 5 a couple times with no problems ... that of course does not mean others will not have problems ( I had to install twice on one windows machine, but did not lose any work their either).

The only oddity is that if I launch the graphics on OS-X I wind up with a window in the Dock that won\'t go away until I stop BOINC and the process running the model (for all projects) is killed. ONe of the reasons I don\'t often call up the graphics ...

As far as alpha testing v6 I did it on another system for over a week and had no problems so I thought I would give it a whirl on the Mac ... aside from the connection issue I saw no difference, or improvement for that matter with v6 so don\'t have any objection to 5.10.x for the time being.

It is just that if I see a problem I can no more NOT report it than I can give up breathing ... though I know as a kid I did try THAT a couple of times ...

Anyway, the no problems was on the Mac Pro version ... for once the Mac was ahead of the windows version? :)

And the only time I run CPDN without NNW set is when I need another model ... though I wish you had a setting to make sure I only got one ... even with my settings to .1 or .2 day the last time I got two models ...

Which means I have three lined up ... sigh ... well, one has only a day and a half to run so I can put the other slab on next and that should run off in about a week ... 180 hours to go on that one ... then the coupled model will take me a couple days more ....

I\'m glad to hear you managed to revert to BOINC 5 without problems.

I think you can limit the number of new models you get on a multicore computer by temporarily changing the number of cores you allow BOINC to use. This is in your general preferences settings. Les Bayliss is the person who\'ll be able to tell you about this. He seems able to make his quad get exactly what he wants from CPDN, not what BOINC thinks he should have.

Whether his method will work when the computer also has lots of short tasks from other projects running, I\'m not sure.

I will have to try to remember that when I am ready to fetch one new work unit. Though I have like forever to wait ... almost a thousand hours ... and my target is to run CPDN on half a core once I get things settled in more ...
