1) Message boards : Number crunching : 4.45 client idle for no apparent reason (Message 15319) Posted 24 Aug 2005 by old_user1179 Post: Is there a work around yet for this problem? I've already lost days of CPU time as a result to this bug.

3) Message boards : Number crunching : 4.45 client idle for no apparent reason (Message 14243) Posted 9 Jul 2005 by old_user1179 Post: Yes it did. Great, the problem has been reported. Thanks for the replys. Regards, Jon
4) Message boards : Number crunching : 4.45 client idle for no apparent reason (Message 14237) Posted 9 Jul 2005 by old_user1179 Post: I awoke this morning to find my client idle all night for no reason. My system idle process was at 99%. No relevant error or warning messages were in the log. I shutdown the client, reopened it and it started running again like normal. This might be a bug with the new client, so be warned.
5) Message boards : Number crunching : How long to get 1 trickle on 500 MHz Celeron? (Message 13512) Posted 17 Jun 2005 by old_user1179 Post: I installed the classic client on a Pentium III 600 Mhz box a while back. It of course did trickle. I calculated that it would take over 1/2 a year for it complete one full model. So I assume a similar or longer amount of time for a Celeron of similar speed. I believe CPDN gives a full year to return a result.

I almost tried something like that but thought it might screw up my results. Thanks for the info!

9) Message boards : Number crunching : Progress bar 4.19 not working (Message 8473) Posted 2 Feb 2005 by old_user1179 Post: > > I had seen such problem on BOINC 4.62; not in 4.1x. > > What BOINCVIew shows? > > OK, perhaps i found it. > Just tested BOINC Manager 4.63 (which works fine) but when reverted back to > BOINC 4.19 GUI, it shows no proggress.

And it then download a new model and now has started calculating that model with the progress bar now working.
10) Message boards : Number crunching : Progress bar 4.19 not working (Message 8385) Posted 1 Feb 2005 by old_user1179 Post: I upgraded from 4.13 to 4.19 and now my progress bar says 0.0 and the CPU and time remain are stuck at the times they were when I upgraded. The client appears to crunching my model. The "graphics screen" globe view shows it doing timesteps. So it appears to be just a progress bar problem. I'm running AMD64 3200+ with Windows 2000 Pro (with most current SP).
11) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : PPC Linux client being planned for CPDN? (Message 1931) Posted 27 Aug 2004 by old_user1179 Post: I have an Apple computer running Yellow Dog Linux (PPC version.) I was wondering if a PPC linux client will be supported sometime in the future? -- Castaa Ars Technica - Team Baked Alaska [TBA]
