1) Questions and Answers : Windows : can\'t attach to project (Message 2201) Posted 30 Aug 2004 by old_user535 Post: You also may be running an older version of the BOINC program. If its anything less, you'll get an error like this (Atleast I did). They should really throw a better error description, but if you look at the message tab, you'll see something about "In order to participate in this project....." Just upgrade BOINC (Install the new version) and everything should be happy. GE
2) Questions and Answers : Windows : Restart of crashed computer (Message 2152) Posted 30 Aug 2004 by old_user535 Post: I know its set to use both processors, but if you have a true multiThread app on a Hyper Thread machine, the crunching will go faster (not 2x faster, but more like 1.5x faster). The result is a unit completed faster, not 2 units completed in (roughly) the same time of each other. The event viewer comes up with nothing. BOINC actaully has just stopped working (Given up 99% of the CPU time) on both machines now. And on a fairly regular basis (about 1 time every 2 to 3 days). The only way to get them to start again is to close BOINC and start it again. Suspend / resume doesn't seem to do anything. There is also no ryme or reason to it. Some times I'll wake up in the morning and they are stopped. Other times send/receive of email will make it stop. No errors or messages to speak of... GE
3) Questions and Answers : Windows : Restart of crashed computer (Message 1259) Posted 19 Aug 2004 by old_user535 Post: I think this actually is a BOINC issue, but not too sure. I have a \"Flaky\" machine (Crashes only if your on it :) ). After it reboots, CPDN doesn\'t want to restart. It goes through the finding out your WhetStone and DryStone (What are they??) and then just sits. Reports that no work has been done (0%), but it does report hours worked on it. It also isn\'t doing any work on it (0% CPU Usage). I have to exit BOINC, and start it up again for the computations to continue. When it does restart, it doesn\'t calc WhetStone or Drystone again. It will then start crunching numbers. This almost looks like something is getting corrupted (Project settings??), and it gets reconstructed when the computer restarts, but then can\'t get used until I restart BOINC. This actually has been going on for about a week (almost 1 crash a day, sometimes more)... Good luck debugging this one.. GE PS> My other computer is a Hyper Thread machine. I really think you guys shold explore multi threading so that both \"virtual\" CPU\'s can work on the same unit. Instead of 700 hours to complete, maybe only 370 or so (I know it can\'t be cut in half that easily). Just a thought.
