1) Message boards : Android : Locked out of BOINC app (Message 97723)
Posted 15 Apr 2020 by yoerik
Post:
I have a fire 7 tablet, running BOINC. Well, it can't run it for more than a day - because when opening the app, it only shows the logo - for hours. I've tested - the only fix has been reinstalling the app... which harms the projects I'm crunching. I don't know how to fix it - I've played with every setting configuration, running less cores, etc - but nothing stops this from occurring.


Have you tried Force Stopping the app, instead of reinstalling ?

How many cores do you have allowed to run on BOINC, try restricting to 50%

How much RAM and storage is available ? You probably need to leave at least 2 GB storage free for temporary files

Try suspending BOINC if you are watching videos or playing games

Some projects, particularly Rosetta are very resourse hungry, try a few different ones


It has over 5 GB storage available to BOINC, 11 GB overall free - with 1 GB RAM and a 1.30Ghz processor. Ironically I have an old android phone with the same processor, and less storage available running all 4 cores 100% of the time - and it's not ran into a single problem yet.
I've tried various combinations of WCG, Rosetta and Ralph@Home, Universe@home - it can complete tasks but this "glitch" doesn't appear to be project related.

I've attempted to force stop 3 times. I'll try again for the sake of trying ;p

3) Message boards : BOINC client : BOINC 7.16.5 for Win, 7.16.6 for Mac released to the public (Message 97390)

Go to https://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php
if you don't use VirtualBox for anything, just download the version on the right (https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/boinc_7.16.5_windows_x86_64.exe)
Save it locally, remember where.
When it has downloaded, navigate to where you downloaded it and (double-)click the installer.
That will start installation, it will install over the previous version.


Thanks so much - I tried googling, and only found Linux install guides, which made me want to doublecheck before downloading. Thanks so much.

After an hour of googling - how the heck do you update the BOINC Client?

Just sit back and study the lists.


Many projects, in order to comply with data protection regulations will not export your stats unless you tick a box under you account options allowing this. If you find the stats under BAM or any of the other aggregation sites don't match up with what you think they should be, it is worth checking this.


They do match up - just was confused why I couldn't log in lol. Because there's a forum there, for example - adding to my confusion.

You don't.
It's one of several external stats sites.
These sites collect data from specific places on each project web site, at a time of their choosing, and add it to their database of people.

Just sit back and study the lists.

Massive L noob moment.

Thanks!

Frustrated as heck, so here I am.

How do you register for BOINC Combined Statistics? I am listed in the results -
https://boinc.netsoft-online.com/e107_plugins/boinc/get_user.php?cpid=7e2558e102f9b8c1fcdcdd78f9e65c2e
But have no clue how to register. I've used every metric possible to login - my cross-project ID, my email, etc. So it's clear it doesn't create an account automatically, but there's nowhere to register!

Probably missing something realllly obvious - and I apologize, but as a new user I'm just... lost.
9) Message boards : Projects : Can we Cure Corona (Message 97069)
Posted 26 Mar 2020 by yoerik
Post:
I see three apps.
1. Compare corona vs known Human RNA in majority populations looking for unique sections in the virus
- Send results to server
- Server compiles and returns agian to test against more rare human RNA
- App returns those sections most unique
2. Compile Enzyme formula for dissolving RNA in the cell based on app 1 returns OR Compile kill switch via Todd Rider MIT DRACO style based on RNA
3. Fold/Package molecules.

Need RNA copy-
Need Human RNA database

Feasibility? I am not coder, I am not in position to lead this.

The point is to try - and that we all get the opportunity, is something that is fantastic.
