Total Credit
(Message 53736)
Posted 22 Mar 2016 by KWSN - Sir Frank of the Wood Post: if i may attempt to inject some levity into the current situation: - old rule of thumb in Data Processing (or IT, as the youngsters call it now): "Everything Takes Longer Than It Takes" - back on 10 Sep 2014, the credit calculations went haywire in the other direction, and i printed out my certificate...here is the best part: "and has contributed 1,713,935,902,786 Cobblestones of computation (1,480.84 sextillion floating-point operations) to climateprediction.net" sadly, the credit calculation was fixed in a couple of days, and our credits came back down to Earth. But for a week or two, we were really rolling... frank |

Computation error
(Message 53157)
Posted 21 Dec 2015 by KWSN - Sir Frank of the Wood Post: Running without graphics should allow more horsepower to be used for processing the workunit...and finish in less time... Back in the early days of SETI (i'm one of the "99ers"), the first thing you did was turn off the screensaver so the single core processor could devote all of its meager horsepower to the workunit... And when i joined CPDN five years ago i also turned off the graphics/screensaver as soon as i saw it pop up...and did the same for the Folding project... frank |

Posted 27 Sep 2014 by KWSN - Sir Frank of the Wood Post: hello les did the exit/restart of BOINC as you suggested...status changed to "Computation error" and message file said that the 4.zip file could not be found...and that was the end...at 11,508 credits out of 12,440 or so... on the bright side, none of the wingmen on this task got past zero !!! frank |

(Message 47204)
Posted 30 Sep 2013 by KWSN - Sir Frank of the Wood Post: ...this morning, my machine started pausing with "Waiting for Memory" message...after a short period (30 or 40 seconds), crunching would resume...plenty of memory available (700 or 800 meg)... i watched the pattern for a half-hour or so on Task Manager...and then i realized that the pattern was much too regular...okay - probably overheating... shut down, removed fan, and removed dust/lint/cat fur from heat sink...re-started, and everything is back to normal... frank |
