Dear Mrs/Mr

I m trying to build a grid computing platform using BOINC, briefly I configured a boinc server using the VM image on BOINC website, I created a project using the documentation.

Now I m developing my application which is Cracking DES-56bit, but I have some problems that my work units returned with an error 177 (rsc-limit-exceeded).

I have some questions, please help me:

1. How Boinc server divide the whole work into tasks, I mean where did specify the rang to my client, for example, in my application DES_Cracker (start_key,end_key).

It looks that boinc applications code is sequential, so where the dividing is made?

2. What are the role of the workunit template file and what's the relation with the dividing of work into tasks. How can I calculate the following:

<rsc_memory_bound> </rsc_mem_bound>

<rsc_disk_bound> </rsc_disk_bound>

<rsc_fpops_est> </rsc_fpops_est>

<rsc_fpops_bound> </rsc_fpops_bound>



And are they calculated for the whole application or for one job for the client???



3. does The workunit represent the whole work of the application or it is a part of it?



There are another question about create my own work generator and Validator…



But now I really have to know the answers of the main previous questions.



Please help me…



And I will be thankful for replying me.

Sincerely.

any one to talk with about boinc???
any one to have discussion and ask him to find answers???

Please don't expect instant answers. The people who post here are are mostly just other BOINC users, and don't necessarily know the answers to all questions.
And not everyone is in the same part of the world as you, and awake at the same time as you.

ok.thanks and i m sorry for westing your time.

but what did you mean by:

I meant exactly what I said.
The handful of developers have their own area, and don't normally read the posts on this site. Most of the problems posted here are just routine, and get answered by other BOINC users.

I'm not interested in developing my own project, so I don't know much about doing this.
Some questions may take days to get an answer. It depends on who knows it, and what they're doing with their life at the time.

Judging by this thread, the error may be some sort of time limit for how long the WU was allowed/expected to run.
