1) Questions and Answers : Windows : stats update still (or again?) doesn\'t work (Message 12320) Posted 5 May 2005 by old_user284 Post: Hi all, now I have the last trickle in my stats (it was sent today morning). Now only the trickles between are missing... So the stats for host 292 look very funny - up to Apr 30th every day it sent out one trickle minimum, then a break for 5 days and now one trickle for a new WU again... :-) Bye Stefan

3) Questions and Answers : Windows : stats update still (or again?) doesn\'t work (Message 12250) Posted 3 May 2005 by old_user284 Post: Hi, some of my hosts are current in the stats but one shows last result for Apr 30th (today is May 3rd) - but it works all the time and sends out trickles min. once a day without problems. Also the final result of a job (completed today morning) does not appear in stats, upload of the result and download of a new WU was succcessful. The new WU also is visible in my stats and is assigned to the correct host (the old one points to the same one). Is there still something going on with the stats? Bye Stefan
4) Questions and Answers : Preferences : How to reduce time loss caused by project switching? (Message 9283) Posted 14 Feb 2005 by old_user284 Post: > Run only one project per Computer, or upgrade them...... > I'm using the newest version of CPDN and BOINC already, but there was no difference. But I thank you for your recommendation! Bye Stefan

This was very helpful! I ignored this parameter until now... :-)) Bye Stefan

8) Questions and Answers : Preferences : How to reduce time loss caused by project switching? (Message 8812) Posted 7 Feb 2005 by old_user284 Post: Hello, I've some not SOOOO fast computers running BOINC. Some of them share CP and SETI, e.g.. When BOINC switches between projects it restarts the paused project at some sort of checkpoint. Especially I've seen this in CP, there it restarts at 00:00 1 or 2 days before the last result. Example of output: 3lmv_100189695 - PH 1 TS 010565 - 11/07/1811 02:30 - H:M:S=0050:05:11 AVG=17.07 DLT= 6.91 3lmv_100189695 - PH 1 TS 010566 - 11/07/1811 03:00 - H:M:S=0050:05:18 AVG=17.07 DLT= 7.85 3lmv_100189695 - PH 1 TS 010567 - 11/07/1811 03:30 - H:M:S=0050:05:26 AVG=17.07 DLT= 7.96 2005-02-07 01:33:28 [climateprediction.net] Pausing result 3lmv_100189695_1 (removed from memory) 2005-02-07 01:33:28 [SETI@home] Restarting result 07ap04aa.1298.25888.890912.92_3 using setiathome version 4.02 CPDN Monitor got quit request...

Can I avoid or reduce this? The preference "Write to disk at most every XX seconds" has no influence. I'm using BOINC 4.19. I've seen this in Linux and Windows build of BOINC. Thank you! Bye Stefan
