Posted 19 Jan 2006 by Udo Post: This happens to me once in awhile. I am running a 2.26 Pentium 4 with XP. I would turn on my computer more, but the electricity bill would not get paid. LoL the recent BOINC Clients (beginning with V4.45 I think) take into account the time your computer is turned on! In the quote above the computer is turned on 'only' 17% of the time. BOINC client calculates the estimated duration multiplied with 'turn on time'. If this time is beyond the report deadline the computer will not get any more work (-> computer is overcommitted)! |

Strange WU 509911
(Message 9840)
Posted 2 Sep 2005 by Udo Post: By chance I noticed this strange WU: http://lhcathome.cern.ch/workunit.php?wuid=509911 Computer 47120 claimed only 4.61 credits and has error messages: ------------------- boinc_init() 4.65 No heartbeat from core client for 30.059123 sec - exiting boinc_init() 4.65 boinc_finish(0) ------------------- As far as I know, exiting the computation process after aprox. 10000 CPU secs (where the other computers took much more) should not lead to a valid result. |

Running 2 WU's simultaneously with one processor after benchmark..

Posted 20 Jul 2005 by Udo Post: This is the 'normal' behaviour if you have more than one project. At Switch time all activity is suspended and the next project gets the processor. If you have 'even weighted' projects (i.e. each project with '100') then Boinc will switch the projects every hour. |
