Two of my models were so close to the end that they finished and are queued for upload. I'm running other projects so I don't want to suspend network activity.

How do client upload requests in this current state disrupt or impede operations?

Thanks.

I have been using F-Secure for a long time without any problems.


I want to research this one. Thanks.

AVG seems to be the winner here.

Free or paid?

I personally have had very good luck with AVG. I was going to also look at Panda.

AVG free or paid?

I used Panda Platinum Internet Security for a while several years ago it was an EXTREMELY bad product. I must have had to reinstall it a half a dozen times because it kept breaking itself, and their tech support was absolutely worthless. Maybe it\'s better now.

This HadSM3 model was blown up by me testing a trial copy of Kaspersky Internet security 2009. It decided \"heuristically\" that it was a major threat and shut it down, even after I had manually placed it in a \"trusted\" state.

I\'ve been extremely frustrated by BitDefender\'s flaky internet security suite and decided to try Kaspersky only to find that it takes an inordinate amount of tweaking to get things to function correctly as it shuts down anything that it doesn\'t recognize. And to boot, any new projects that are downloaded are immediately placed in the \"untrusted\" state.

For people who have a lot of time to play around this is fine, but I don\'t have this luxury. Maintaining three systems already is more than enough work for me.

Can anyone recommend a well-rated, solid antivirus suite that plays well with BOINC?

This HadCM3 model blew with the following BM messages:

All of my wingmen\'s models also blew on this one.

Sorry, all of the current files are gone since the model reported.

I know this is a vague error message. In the future, what particular information would be helpful to you in debugging? I can set CPDN to \"no new tasks\" in attempt to preserve the files.

Mo and Milo,

My CPDN uploads are still not working - I\'ve got three queued on the Transfers tab, all for models that have finished.

I\'m now getting the same message that Les is getting:

For whatever it\'s worth, my other project, Superlink at Technion, is communicating just fine.

Given that the UK time is in the wee hours and Mo might not be awake for hours, I\'ll try to substitute, temporarily.

- Trickles do not appear in the Transfers Tab, only \'uploads\', which vary per the Model (Ten Model years for some, Model-thirds for some, -quarters for others.) You can see stored Trickles if you dig into the Model\'s/Models\' files.

- Yes, Trickles and uploads will be stored in your boinc folder until the next time boinc gets an Internet fix. No problem -- unless the machine is starved for hard-drive space.


Thanks, Astro.

The device in question won\'t be your own disk. It means the CPDN server disk. I\'ll report this to Milo. I thought the new server had sorted the disk space problem for a while. Apparently the recent CPDN database backup wasn\'t entirely successful and the job\'s going to have to be repeated next week. I don\'t know whether this has caused the disk to fill up.

Just suspend your BOINC\'s network activity for the time being. It\'s best to avoid repeated failed upload attempts.

(I\'m sure I asked in a BOINC Trac ticket ages ago for this \'No space left on device\' BOINC message to be reworded so crunchers don\'t get the impression that their own disk has filled up and possibly panic. I think I suggested \'No space left on server disk\' instead. I\'ll check my previous tickets to either request or re-request this rewording. As it stands this is a dreadful message. Experienced crunchers don\'t all understand it so heaven help the newbies. Could you please tell me what BOINC version that computer has?)


Thanks, Mo.

What happens to the trickles from my other four CPDN models currently running when I suspend network activity? Are they queued and appear on the Transfers tab or are they just repeated in full when the network activity is unsuspended?

One of my HadSM3 6.07 slab models here is trying to upload its final .zip file (the model run is 100% complete) but BM 6.2.19 is showing these messages:

My disk is NOT out of space - there are many GBs left. On the BM Transfers tab, it uploads the whole 1.27 MB file and the progress on this tab shows 100%, but it keeps retrying again and again with the above errors.

I have bounced BM and rebooted but I\'m still getting the error. Any ideas what is happening?

This video recently aired on PBS and can be seen here:

It is intended for the general public so it does not go very deep into the science. It is a perfect introduction to the subject, however.

I\'m running an HADAM-style model, about 60% done, and noticed that there is about 2,400 in pending credit showing for my account.

It says that the minimum quorum is 1. If the quorum is 1, why is there any pending credit showing at all?

Thanks,
Ed


Ok, then thanks for the reminder.

The \"Best\" place is over at SaH in NC where the rabid OC guys hang out.

If needs be, attach and run a couple tasks so you can post ...

There are constant discussion on the best fans and all the other details.

You will get a lot more input over there ...


Thans, Paul.

On this project, things like this get discussed on the \"other\" forum, here, which has a much better editor, and also preview facilities.
This thread on Quads, for instance.

It\'s totally separate to these boards, and has to be signed up to separately to post. (Use the same name as here to make it easier to recognise you.)



Thanks, Les.

I\'ll re-post on that forum.

Posted 16 Apr 2008 by old_user452941
Post:
I\'m putting together my first quad system (Intel Q9550 chip) and am wondering if the out-of-the-box fan-and-heatsink that comes with the chip will be sufficient to keep the CPU cool when it\'s crunching BOINC projects on all four cores, especially CPDN, in ambient temps of 65 to 75 F.

On my existing dual-core Pentium D 920, when I\'m running CPDN on both cores the processor heats up to 127 F. when the ambient temp is 65 F. Running 62 degrees above ambient seems to be a constant with CPDN on this machine. With other BOINC projects, it is about a 57 F. degree rise above ambient. I think thermal max for this chip is 147 F. So, unless the room gets over 80 F., I don\'t have a problem with this machine overheating.

My new QUAD will be in an identical enclosure case as my PD 920 - same fans and all.

Can I expect sufficient cooling as with my PD 920 or am I going to have to make extra efforts?

If anyone out there has some experience with quads and cooling and could let me know what to expect with 4-core 100% BOINC crunching, I would appreciate it.
