1) Questions and Answers : Windows : Message from server - platform not found (Message 31151)

well none of the workaround\'s i have read deal with the fact that the operating system is not supported and i fail to see what difference running a 32 bit version of boinc, would it not still report \"platform \'windows_x86_64\' not found\" ? and going back to 32 bit version of boinc would not allow me to run native 64 bit app from abc

ps i gained 802.19 million inter operations per second per core going from 32 bit to 64 bit operating system, why would i go back ?

What is is about the explanations you don\'t/won\'t/refuse to/can\'t understand?

You \"read\" about workarounds. You \"fail to see\". What have you actually tried?


i dont understand how a 64 bit app would be able to run in a 32 bit , silly old me but i sure you understand how it works and no i have not tried installing 32 bit version of boinc since i dont believe it is possible to run 64 bit in 32 bit

64-bit CPUs and OS work just fine in CPDN. Repeat, just fine. The servers have no problems with them.

If I were constrained by your illogic, none of my six boxes could communicate with the Project. All six have 64-bit CPUs; in Linux, all six run 64-bit OS; in Windoze, four of the six run 64-bit OS. In all 12 possibilities, they run 32-bit boinc.
If you glance to the left of this post, you might conclude from the numbers that they manage to crunch a bit here and there -- and make at least occasional successful contact with the servers.

you noticed how you said 32 bit boinc , i don\'t have it nor is that going to change i am very happy with 64 bit version of boinc

CPDN Models are 32-bit clients; they gain NOTHING, repeat, NOTHING, from 64-bit at this time. (An upgrade was tried in Alpha Test some time ago but there was an atmosphere-ocean boundary problem and not enough staff time to sort it.)

thats not what i have asked for nor will i

You can harp all you want about your wondrous gain in integer count with 64-bit. This Project COMPLETELY IGNORES Benchmarks for credit --> besides, CPDN Models are floating point. Your Models won\'t process a bit faster if/when the server recognizes 64-bit boinc.

most projects that i actively crunch from have server assigned credits so bench mark doesn\'t make any difference but i am sure increase in integer speed translates to faster run times of work units

Les\' comments are on the mark. If you were to read and accept the assistance volunteers offered you, rather than trying to mold the Project to your wants, you could solve your problem. If not, there\'s nothing we can do to help.

was this not my original question
if someone could manually mark that work unit as client detached so work unit could be reissued or will that occur automatically on the 16 Mar 2008 11:54:25 UTC ?

basically project did not want to play nice and i detached from project i thought i was doing the polite thing by asking someone to deal with this, apparently not.
as for me trying to mold this project, get a life
If you are content with ABC\'s 64-bit client (assuming it is 64-bit, most of the Projects which recognize 64-bit boinc have 32-bit clients -- but, if memory serves, two of about 50 actually have them), then have at it. Your choice.


abc uses 64 bit client not a re badged 32 bit version as for other projects even if it is a 32 bit app they still run in 64 bit environment

along with the only work around. (Use a 32 bit version of BOINC on a 64 bit computer.)

When an Abort is issued, the model is marked immediately and automatically for re-issue.


so how exactly would that occur when you get this from server also if you check work unit you will notice these been no communication since the 19th of October

in other words once a day my comp would had tried to talk to server and everyday server would tell my comp to wait 1 more day simply because server does not know about platform \'windows_x86_64\' or put much simpler server snobs XPx64 and does not allow any meaningful communications from client

well i have been getting this error for work unit http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/workunit.php?wuid=5926462

so basically i was unable to talk to server (ie trickles up ect) therefore i have aborted work unit and detached from project

if someone could manually mark that work unit as client detached so work unit could be reissued or will that occur automatically on the 16 Mar 2008 11:54:25 UTC ?

just wondering with all these suggests about backup\'s why is this being suggested that the end user does this instead of staff at cpdn grabbing a heap of cd\'s or dvd\'s backing up data and make some room on server

Does suspending CPDN help? (I can\'t remember if it suspends the uploads or not, I\'m not near a PC with Boinc).

Resolving the problem involves ordering new disks and installing them into the servers, I know the disks were ordered a few days ago but don\'t know when they\'re arriving / being fitted. Hopefully very soon.



i have tried that and boinc still tries to upload results (currently using 5.4.11) with boinc view 1.2.6 i have the option of aborting transfer which i guess i shouldnt be using ie it would only bring the 14 day period to now , should i copy zip files to another location just in case and if so how would i go about getting zipped files to cpdn ?

thank you for update on resolution to issue

Post:
It will do no harm at all just to suspend boinc network activity and let these 10-year zip files wait a day or two to upload.


i have currently suspended bonic network activity on two computers, the main issue i am having with doing this is i do like to be able to crunch other projects as well, basically i run cpdn work units as a back up to other projects in case they go down which seems to have back fired some what since i am now only crunching back up project rather then then main ones i want to be crunching and i am basically being forced into this position because i have bandwidth limit on internet access

also some sort of idea of time frame it will take to clear up this issue would be nice since i have been having this issue for the last couple of days and was suggested it would be resolved in a day or two

well i have had six trickles and no credits whatsoever, still i see some sign of credits i will leave work units suspended

edit credits are not showing up here or else where

Do you have your Network settings allowed to upload in BOINC Manager?
BOINC Manager->Activity->??? What is it set to?

If Network activity suspend, you won\'t upload trickles. So they won\'t register anywhere.



maybe i should have made myself clearer tickles have gone up an show up on workunit but not credits at all ie http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/result.php?resultid=6431039 2 trickles yet no credits granted
