41) Message boards : Number crunching : work units?? (Message 18059) Posted 12 Oct 2007 by caspr Post: 2 workunits per day? I want the drugs you're taking. Thats a good thing though, gives me a chance to clear my boxs and get em ready for the assault!
42) Message boards : Number crunching : work units?? (Message 18038) Posted 12 Oct 2007 by caspr Post: It MUST be per IP address. Out of 3 boxs, 2 got 1WU each, one of those wu's errored out after 3secs, and it dosnt matter how much I "kick the client" I cant get a wu on the box that didnt receive 1, or a wu to replace the one that errored out.
43) Message boards : Number crunching : work units?? (Message 17992) Posted 28 Sep 2007 by caspr Post: @ Dagorath.... I've been keeping up with this thread since I asked my question about setting the cache on my box's. I'm not that eager to to get more WU's even though it would be nice. I think I'll just "kick the client" more often rather than "hammer the server"! But thanks anyway! LOL!
44) Message boards : Number crunching : work units?? (Message 17892) Posted 14 Sep 2007 by caspr Post: Its pretty straightforward, go to "your account" page, then click on "general preferences." now you will need to know which preference setting you have your computers set to (--- or default, home, work, school. you can check this by looking at your individual host(s) from the "computers on this account" section of the "your account" page.) then simply modify the preference settings pertaining to the host you are concerned with under "connect to network about every" XXX days where XXX is the size of the cache you desire. a word of warning, if you crunch for projects that give you "extra" stats for being the first one to complete the WU (such as ABC) then a large cache won't work out well (as you will probably only confirm someone else's results.) on the other hand if you are attached to a project with stability issues (read nearly all projects) then a small cache might cause your PC to run out of WU for the duration of the outage (assuming of course you don't run more than one project.) @daemion... thanx! I see what u'r talkin about now. I'll give it a shot next time some WU's come up!

48) Message boards : Number crunching : Initial Replication (Message 17710) Posted 4 Aug 2007 by caspr Post: You can of course accept whatever you want and what you want according to what you write is just to crunch any numbers pointless or not. Also you're not concerned if all your computer is doing is "BUSY WORK" That maybe what you want but it's certainly not what I want and if this project continues to waste resources that other (just as deserving projects) could have used to actually accomplish something then I will donate my humble resources to them. Maybe even make a difference. So you can determen as a partical physysist what they need to do as far as initial replication is concerned???
49) Message boards : Number crunching : Initial Replication (Message 17708) Posted 4 Aug 2007 by caspr Post: Good point(s) ... this thread could continue on forever. Everyone has a valid point, but the purpose of all Boinc projects is to accomplish a certain goal. Whether it's for testing something new, fixing existing problems, or for a real-time data crunching like LHC. We've waited many, many months for work ... so I'm just happy we're crunching again and will contribute what I can. We got what we wanted, so let's just accept the fact that this project has an IR5 with a quorum of 3, done. No other projects would consider changing unless there was a big problem. Nanohive is the only project I know of that did just this. Anyway, my 2.55 cents, but let's be courteous here - all of us are contributing to one of the greatest creations of our time - - the collider! This is the best post I've seen on this thread! HERE! HERE!
50) Message boards : Number crunching : The new look bugs (Message 17612) Posted 30 Jul 2007 by caspr Post: I don't suppose anyone has ideas about the need to login everytime? I still have to enter my email and password eaach time I power up my PC but this is the only Project I have to do that for - I didn't need to do it before the redesign. I'm also haveing this problem since I had to reinstall windows.....xpsp2 IE7 on a p4 266G BTW my box stays on 24/7 so its not a matter of logging out of IE7,just LHC. Its not a big thing just really annoying!
51) Message boards : Number crunching : Even if there's no "real work", may I suggest a "real test"? (Message 17462) Posted 20 Jul 2007 by caspr Post: NEASAN,Sorry for being a pain, BUT, Do 1 get 1 insted of get 100 do 10 seemes to be a little better for the project....I may be wrong, please correct me if I am.:0{
52) Message boards : Number crunching : Can't Access Work Units (Message 17453) Posted 20 Jul 2007 by caspr Post: WOW,I never thought there would be such a "feeding frenzy" for test wu's! I only put 1 on each box to make sure all was well! THE MASSES ARE HURNGRY!!! :O)
53) Message boards : Number crunching : Can't Access Work Units (Message 17437) Posted 20 Jul 2007 by caspr Post: Thanx Neasan! Just put one on each of my boxs,all (xpsp2) seems to be running fine! Nice "little" Boom test! :o)
54) Message boards : Number crunching : Even if there's no "real work", may I suggest a "real test"? (Message 17371) Posted 16 Jul 2007 by caspr Post: How about using old data for a real test run before new data hits the pipline? I'm thinking on the order of 100K WUs. Work out stuff now before real data is comprimised, is all I'm suggesting... (on both the client and server end) Yep I second that, what did they call it over at APS a couple weeks ago?... A "BOOM" test, to see if the servers could stand the load.
55) Message boards : Number crunching : Can't Access Work Units (Message 17358) Posted 14 Jul 2007 by caspr Post: O'well, at least someone got some WU's! Still wish it woulda been ME! Maybe next time!:o(
56) Message boards : Number crunching : Can't Access Work Units (Message 17339) Posted 12 Jul 2007 by caspr Post: Off hand I would say it's some kind of internal test of their servers,ect. I don't think any of those will get out to the public, but I'd like to hear from anyone who got any!:0)
57) Message boards : Number crunching : The new look bugs (Message 17295) Posted 8 Jul 2007 by caspr Post: Well I see the width thing is still an issue but it's getting better!! At least it's the same weather I load up with FF or IE! :D
58) Message boards : Number crunching : A new look (Message 17242) Posted 4 Jul 2007 by caspr Post: If I load the main page off my manager it loads up with firefox and all is well, but if I load it up with IE I have to scroll sideways to read it all. Just thought you might wanna know.
59) Message boards : Number crunching : Project dead ? (Message 17166) Posted 30 Jun 2007 by caspr Post: Old Chinese Ploverb: I crick rinks and read my finger aching too many crickings. You crick rinks and read and tell me what you read then you finger aching. Better you have sore finger than me have sore finger. HUH????
60) Message boards : Number crunching : Merge?? (Message 17049) Posted 17 Jun 2007 by caspr Post: I just noted an interesting phenomon. I seem to have stopped getting ghost clients about the end of May. I believe that there may be a bug fix in the most recent version of the client. BTW, you can merge something over 100 at a time. I just merged 10 then 20 and then all.....I had over 180 so you can merge at least 150 at a time.
