Thanks m8!Even though I am a C64 fan? ;-) My first console was an Atari 2600. I got in touch with my first "real" computer by a friend who had an C64 at that time (late 80s) and I programmed a little bit at an Atari of a relative after that. My first own comp was an Amiga 500 in 1989. Man, those were the times..... So, well yes, I can accept you ;-D |

BOINC client :
Not requesting tasks: some task is suspended via Manager
(Message 62303)
Posted 24 May 2015 by AmigaForever Post: Hello guys, I just found some strange behaviour of the BOINC client. I don't know if this has been adressed already 'cause the search function on the forums doesn't work neither on Opera nor on Firefox (and this by all projects I am involved....). Anyway, here it is: I stopped one single task on World Community Grid; this task belongs to "The Clean Energy Project - Phase 2"; I stopped it temporarily because this project has very long checkpointing intervalls, so I let it run only when I am more than five to six hours away (~ checkpointing intervall). All other WCG tasks ran flawlessly. Today I noticed that BOINC did not get any new WCG tasks, so I tried manually. And then BOINC refused to get more WCG tasks: 24.05.2015 16:08:17 | World Community Grid | Not requesting tasks: some task is suspended via Manager So BOINC refuses to get ANY new task from a project when one (!) of its is paused? This seems awkward to me. Is there a deeper reason behind this? I mean, a user should be able to decide which tasks he runs at the moment and which should be paused. The project doesn't really loose something if some tasks get held to long - it just gets dismissed and resent to another user. Anybody can give me a little more info about that please? Thanks! And a blessed Pentecost to all! |

My Wish List
(Message 61679)
Posted 18 Apr 2015 by AmigaForever Post: What I would definitely like to see in BOINC is the feature I already requested: When double-clicking on a WU, the WUs' property window should pop up. This would make checking or searching for a specific WU much more omfortable. Moreover, why not implement a up-down-feature (like arrows) within the properties window, so one could cycle through all WUs? Ah yes, please, could you make the snooze feature adjustable (both GPU and BOINC total), so one could set the amount of time BOINC and/or the GPU would snooze? This is in the "the list of past requests" but has not been implemented yet. Thanks a lot for considering this. Many greetings! |

Questions and problems :
Switch between applications every X minutes problem
(Message 59545)
Posted 11 Jan 2015 by AmigaForever Post: Hello guys, I was just suspicious until a few days ago about this, but today I observed without any doubt: The option "Switch between applications every X minutes" does not work properly (anymore ?). BOINC seems to decide totally by itself how much computing time it gives to a project; for example, I enlisted about a week ago into The SkyNet POGS (http://pogs.theskynet.org/pogs/), and since then BOINC does only compute POGS WUs if some are in the queue. Other projects' WUs like WCG or Asteroids@home are kept waiting. If no POGS WUs are available, the other projects seem to get the switch... I am aware that BOINC indeed does give the projects internal values like the Duration Correction Factor to determine the best amount of computing time. But if I want the projects to be changed after a selected period of time, BOINC should just do right that and nothing else. Maybe I got this all wrong and all works as it should though; in that case someone please give me a short explaination. Thank you very much! :) My systems' specs: BOINC v7.4.36 WinXP SP3 2 GB RAM PhenomII 945 CPU |

BOINC 7.4.26/.27 released to the public
(Message 58668)
Posted 13 Dec 2014 by AmigaForever Post: You see, there is absolutely no point in having a go on me. I didn't know that the devs don't read the forums..... I find that strange though. Anyway: I bumped the request because a) I didn't know / wasn't told that it had been forwarded to the devs and that they don't read this forum, and b) because I was hoping this very basic function could be integrated in the then upcoming release version of BOINC. Still I don't understand how such basic functions haven't been integrated into BOINC from the very beginning of its development. Sorry if I got your post wrong - I found it offensive, and that pissed me off 'cause all I wanted to do was help. |

Posted 24 Nov 2014 by AmigaForever Post: One thing though: The handling of the entries in the GUI list could really be better, this wasn't implemented in this release, so I am hoping for the next one. I am pretty sure it takes pretty long testing for the immense complex function "double click left -> open properties". In fact, I cannot think how the developers of most other software I use found the time and resources to implement one of the most standard GUI functions yet! Seriously: I thought I suggest a feature you find in most software used nowadays (and the last 15-20 years) because I thought this was forgotten somehow. It was meant as a nice reminder for one of the most common functions and a little caretaking for the GUI. In fact, for me a good and well-groomed GUI is one of the essentials of good software. And I should know as a former programmer (that was long ago, though). You see, there is absolutely no point in having a go on me. And btw, right now I am confused what you guys set your priorities to. |

Posted 18 Nov 2014 by AmigaForever Post: Good job guys, v7.4.27 runs without a flaw (so far) on my system. Thank you very much! I really think of getting into being an alpha tester to help bringing BOINC development forward..... I'll definitely take a closer look onto this. One thing though: The handling of the entries in the GUI list could really be better, this wasn't implemented in this release, so I am hoping for the next one. What I am talking about is here: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=6375&postid=56643#56643 Anyway, thanks again to the whole team! :-D |

Posted 12 Oct 2014 by AmigaForever Post: Hi! What I would really like to see because it would be a great ease: If you double-click on a task, the "properties" windows for that task opens. Until now it's: Click on task -> click on properties -> properties window opens. If you want to check on more than a few tasks, this procedure is quite annoying. Thanks. |

Posted 18 Feb 2014 by AmigaForever Post: I would like to suggest an improvement in the scheduler. I think it would be useful it there are downloaded as many tasks as are a multiple of active cores (taking potentially settings in the app_config.xml or other project specific pref files into account). For example: I have an Phenom II X4 (= 4 cores), which are all active on BOINC. So it would be useful if the scheduler grabs 4 x X WUs. The number X would needed to be computed (or roughly estimated) by taking the prefs options Maintain enough tasks to keep busy for at least Y days and Up to an additional Z days amount into account. Currently the scheduler does not work this way, it does get quite some WUs which mostly leads to 1 or 2 being left over, meaning that the rest of the cores goes idle. I should mention that I do not let my BOINC run all day and night, but get some WUs which it processes until I am back home... |
