Why my Granted Credit is just the half GC than other who did same work?

Posted 25 Jan 2006 by Deamiter Post: This processor had valid credit when running @2333MHz, and from setember to january has runned at actual speed 2000MHz 1.45V(becuse is mobile barton on Abit nf7 v2.0. So you're overclocking, and you're seeing errors, but you have no idea why?!?!? Come on! There's no way you can claim, "I overclocked this other machine without errors, so I can do this one too!" If you're overclocking, you should know very well that each box will react differently. Then you're claiming that since you got a valid WU at 2.3GHz, that it's fine at 2GHz. Isn't it JUST possible that you get lucky with no errors during some WUs? Haven't you ever seen one of your overclocked need to be clocked back to specs after a few months as the processor gets old? Your first reaction should ALWAYS be to stop overclocking. If you're still returning bad results, then it's something else.
You know you can merge CPUs right? They just merged a bunch of unique hosts to inflate their score -- no big mystery there. *snip* So you're digging around in the stats pages looking for cheaters. When you find a couple, you're response is that you think YOU should get highly inflated scores too! I guess I don't see why we should feel particularly sympathetic that your attempts to artificially inflate your scores are failing. |

Posted 24 Jan 2006 by Deamiter Post: Yeah it went pretty quick. I noticed the pace started to slow down as we got closer to the end, guess people were pulling computers off the project and switching them to others. Naw. Just people like DJRWolf bumped up their caches because they want to squeeze every last credit out of the project -- even if it slows throughput to a fraction of what we COULD do at the end of each study. Even worse are those people who generate huge caches and then fail to finish the work even within the 1-week deadline! In a project that DEPENDS on the completion of one study before sending out new work, you'd think that people would try to get it all done as quickly as possible rather than hording work so they can get that one more week of credit. Yeah, there are a few people who have good reasons for a 1-day or even a 3-4 day cache. As wolf demonstrated, they're not why it's going to take a full week before we get anywhere CLOSE to finishing this batch. |

Dev's Superstitious?

Posted 15 Jan 2006 by Deamiter Post: or... The devs started producing WUs and just didn't bother to tell the admin who didn't notice and turn on the servers until the 14th... |

Windows :
Crash while using graphics.
(Message 2804)
Posted 30 Sep 2004 by Deamiter Post: When I bring up the graphics (not as a screensaver, but from the BOINC GUI) and then lock the computer, or just press Ctrl+Alt+Del, the computer locks up -- the mouse still moves, but there's only the default Windows screen. It seems like a seperate problem from other graphics problems, but of course it may just be another symptom of the same problem. I'm running Win XP with SP1 (SP2 was causing problems with an app I need to use frequently). It's a 2 GHz computer with 1MB of RAM. |
