boinc.at ein gemütliches Team mit charmanter Rechenleistung

Boinc.at wurde 2005 gegründet, ist ein stetig wachsendes, aufstrebendes Team und derzeit auf Platz 3 in Österreich. Wir haben ein eigenes Teamforum mit angenehmer Atmosphäre, Team- und Mitgliederstatistiken, BOINC-FAQ und nette Cruncher die man bei gelegentlichen Forentreffen auch im richtigen Leben treffen kann!
Wenn Du noch immer ohne Team bist (oder Dein altes Team langweilig geworden ist ;) ), besuche uns doch einfach auf boinc.at, und tritt unseren Team bei den Projekten bei für die Du rechnest. Gemeinsam crunchen macht doch viel mehr Spaß! Bis bald bei boinc.at!

boinc.at a relaxed Team with charming computing power

Boinc.at was founded in 2005, it is a steadily growing, upcomming team and as of now on the 3rd place in Austria. We have a pleasing forum, team- and user statistics, BOINC-FAQ and nice crunchers which you can also meet in real life at occasional forum meetings!
If you still crunch without beeing in a team (or your old team got boring ;) ), meet us at boinc.at and join our team in the projects you are crunching. Crunching together in a team is much more fun! See you at boinc.at!

July 17, 2008 Launch of GPUGRID.net, BOINC on GPUs
Finally GPU computing on BOINC! After delivering BOINC on Playstation last year, we are happy to announce that from today we are are able to distribute workunits on Nvidia GPUs. PS3grid.net and the new website GPUGRID.net go along to create a large infrastructure for biomolecular simulations. To run GPU workunits simply follow the instructions on the website. Apart from us, this was made possible by a strong collaboration with BOINC developers and in particular David Anderson at Berkeley and Stefan and Keith from the BOINC community, already moderators at ps3grid. We also want to thank Nvidia for their important support.

Yep, I was testing for them since a few months, and today the CUDA application and gpugrid.net became official.

Hopefully there will a BOINC project with CUDA support very soon... Maybe it's only some days or weeks more to wait... I'll tell you all here when the project goes live.

Well... If you read the instructions on the PS3GRID site how to install Yellow Dog Linux on the PS3, you will see in the chapter called "WHAT DO YOU NEED BEFORE STARTING" that a USB keyboard is essential to install Linux on your PS3... ;)

What if he tries an older BOINC client?
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/?C=M;O=D for a list. Skip the 6.0.1 client on there, it's not for users.


Here comes the weird thing...

He installed 5.1.2 and it seems BOINC is now able to connect to the Internet because he gets the message that his version of BOINC is not supported by the projects he tried to attach to...

He will register in this Forum tomorrow, maybe we can find a way how to get BOINC working on his computer.

Thanks all for your help so far!

Stefan

[edit] Ok - he registered today... ;-)

Thanks for your replies guys!

Well... The whole thing looks pretty mysterious to me...

He told me again that BOINC is allowed to communicate with the Internet in his Windows Firewall settings. He opened the Ports 80 and 443, but with no success... And he also tried to disable the Windows Firewall with no success...

In the meantime he also tried 5.10.21 but with the same error.

He is using a AVM Fritz!Box SL WLAN which is a Modem/Router combination with built in Firewall. I just downloaded the manual for the router to see if I can tell him how to open these two ports...

We will see if it works...

The only error I can see is the line saying "Access to reference site failed - check network connection or proxy configuration"

The user told me that he allowed BOINC communications with the Internet in his Firewall settings and he also had shut off his Firewall but BOINC always shows the messages that there is no Internet connection.

He doesn´t use a proxy, and in "Options/connections" no internet connection is shown...

He also tried de/reinstalling BOINC with no succes...

Any ideas what´s wrong?

[edit] BTW - He´s using DSL...

Stefan, you are saying "hung up" but I'm wondering if what you are describing is a Boinc crash. meaning that boinc manager encountered a fatal error and shut down or was forced to shut down.

Also, if I understood you correctly, you stated that after you rebooted your computer, Boinc started functioning correctly. Is it still functioning correctly? If so, then perhaps it was just a transient problem, just one of those weird things that happens.

One last thing that I can think of. You stated that you have an HT processor. Are you running with HT enabled? You stated that you saw you predictor WU's running. I just want to make sure that was due to the HT and not an indication to some problem.

Jim


Hi Jim!

Yes, sometimes BOINC hangs up or freeze with NO REPLY shown in the Titlebar and sometimes it crashes. Not everytime the same...
After a reboot BOINC is functioning correctly but after a few hours working it crashes. Not always at the same time. Sometimes it works for 10-20 hours or longer correctly and sometimes it crashes after 3 or 4 hours. And it is not alway the same project running if Boinc crashes...
The processor is running with HT enabled therefore 50% CPU usage. I meant 50% for each WU and 2 WUs worked at the same time...
Maybe i should try to re-install BOINC. I never had this Problem with 5.2.13 for the last months.
Once again, please excuse my bad english! ;-)

Thanks for all your help!

When you run windows update, do you run the automatic one, or the custom?

If you only run the automatic, try running custom, look at the hardware/drivers section and see if there are any new drivers listed.

If that does not help, or there are no updates listed there, try to see if the modem manufacturer has an updated driver.


I have Windows update prepared to notify my if there are new updates and ask before download. No automatic updates...

And there are no updates for my hardware.

Today at morning at had the same thing again. BOINC crunched the whole night, and at morning i wanted to open BOINC Manager with the Taskbar tray icon but BOINC Manager didn�t open a window.
After a second try the BOINC Manager Tray Icon dissaperad from the Taskbar. I was looking in the Task Manager and saw that BOINC manager wasn�t working but two Predictor WUs were still showed at 50% CPU usage each... And the modem wasn�t connected, so I think its not the modems fault.

I tried to restart BOINC Manager but it didn�t worked. Nothing happened...
Just after a full Windows restart BOINC started to work again...
Maybe i should wait for the next release and hope that this thing is getting better... I don�t know what i else should try.

Thanks for your trouble!

It is a start. But, I am not the worlds best helper :(

Tony and Bill the guys, but, lets see if we can take the next step. I did not see any red flags yet.

Ok, the symptom was that BOINC hang up. In my mind there are two possible ways for me to see this, one is that BOINC was using the modem, hung up the modem and then died. The other is that it stopped working and died.

Ok, so we need to kind of get that straight. ...

Next thing to do, is to stop BOINC, Then restart it and let it run for about 5-10 minutes. Copy the messages in the messages tab and paste them here.

Last things:

Does this happen all the time?
What were you doing when it happened.
Are there error messages in the messages log?
What projects are you attached to?
Do all the stops happen when running one project? Or any project?

Sorry, this may take some back and forth ... we have to work through all the possible things it may be and might not be... so be patient with us. Trust me, we will not give up until you do ... but, you have to do all the silly things we ask ... sorry about that ... but, it is the only way ...



There are no errror messages in the message tab, therfore i didn�t pasted it in here. Its just the normal startup stuff...

1. No it doesn�t happen all the time. Mostly when Boinc is uploading results...
So maybe it�s something with the modem. But it worked very well for 2 months...
2. Uploading results and at the same time i was looking at the statistics tab and/or message tab.
3. No there are no messages in the error log,
4. I�m attachet to Einstein, Seti, Seti Beta, CPDN, uFluids, Rosetta, Predictor, Prime Grid, SIMAP, WCG, LHC, Sztaki and BURP
5. I don�t know this yet. I have to look up for it...

Today the same thing happened for 3 or 4 times... The BOINC Manger hung up and showed a white window. The titlebar showed Boinc Manager (local host) NO REPLY, but today BOINC didn�t closed the BOINC Manager window. After a few seconds BOINC came back to life...

What OS?
Which version of BOINC?
What type of install (service, shared, single)?
- If a service type install, did the BOINC Daemon stop?

Not sure if I can help, but the guys that usually do are going to need at least that much information ...

My German is worse ... :)


I�m running Windows XP Pro SP2 with all updates on a P4 3Ghz with HT.
BOINC 5.2.13 single type install.

I hope this helps you to help me... ;-)

Today i had following problem:

The BOINC titlebar showed "Keine R�ckmeldung" ( don�t know the english word, maybe "no report"?), and BOINC hang up . After a few seconds the BOINC Manager Window closed and the BOINC Tray-Icon in the Taskbar dissapeared...
This happened 4 or 5 times today. Are there any suggestions what to do? Hope you can understand what i mean, my english is not the best... ;-)
