| 1) Message boards : BOINC Manager : Statistics Tab/page?
Message 118955 Posted 25 Apr 2026 by Cliff Harding |
How does the manager keep track of the monthly stats for any given project, and is there any rhyme or reason for why the day-of-week for those monthly dates shown are not consistent? For an example I have currently showing for Einstein, I have 25.Apr.25, 10.jun.25, 26.Jul.25, 10.Sep.25, 26.Oct.25, 11.Dec.25, 36.Jan.26 & 13.Mar,26. While for Milkyway 24.Oct.25, 16.Nov.25, 09.Dec.25, 01.Jan.26, 24.Jan.26, 16,Feb.26, 11.Mar.26, & 03.Apr.26 are displayed. Is this a bug in the software that should be fixed? |

Yes, along with the exceptions (additions) noted above, I followed the instructions as closely as possible. |

Installation, even after I activated the Virtual Machine Platform & Windows Subsystem for Linux features which were not installed on the machine and applied the necessary updates via Windows Update. Final straw was that WSL_E_DISTRO - Not_Found when attempting the command via the CMD function wsl -d boinc-buda-runner . Need to resolve, otherwise, I'll wait until the package is available vis normal BOINC updates. |

Message 116020 Posted 30 Apr 2025 by Cliff Harding |
I'm interested in installing Docker on a Win 11 Pro machine. BOINC resides on 2 separate drives with the .exe(s) on the system drive (C:/Program Files/BOINC/), and the data on the data drive (D:/BOINC/). When I d/l'ed the product from the Podman web site, all I got was an .exe file, which is currently sitting in D:/My Documents/Downloads/BOINC/, while expecting an installation package to install it into the correct directory (library/folder). My question is, if this is the case, should I just move the .exe to the Boinc directory on the system drive (C"), or did I do some wrong. The install instructions for Windows were unclear on this point. |

| 6) Message boards : Questions and problems : BOINC disregards limitations and running 100% CPU when computer is in use
Message 110893 Posted 8 Jan 2023 by Cliff Harding |
Some questions on your system to get more information. What version of the manager are you using? The current version is 7.20.2. How many cores are you using, and are you using H/T? On the computer preferences tab > Computing What is the use at most % CPU - mine is set at 60% -- H/T What use at most % CPU time - mine is set at 100% On the computer preferences tab > Disk & Memory Are you limiting the use of memory, or do you have the 'Leave at least # GB free' checked? Make sure this is checked with a large amount of spave and BOINC will use as much space as it needs. I have mine set at 10 GB for many years with no problem. Just make sure the other 'use' options are unchecked. From the msg from the server -- Milkyway@Home: Notice from server Milkyway@home Separation needs 71.53MB more disk space. You currently have 0.00 MB available and it needs 71.53 MB. it looks like memory is being restricted somehow. Even though I'm running win 11 Pro, these settings are carried over from 10. |

Thanks for taking the time to test this on old hardware and posting it out here. I'm in the process of upgrading my CPU/MOBO, when will this fix be released for testing? |

Message 104812 Posted 16 Jul 2021 by Cliff Harding |
Currently I'm running 7.17.0 (x64)Which doesn't say much. Whenever you downloaded the source code during the past 7.16 development cycle (starting April 2020) and compiled it, it would compile as 7.17.0 as that's what it says in the versions.h header file. And if you don't change it, it'll be that version. The BOINCMGR & BOINCTRAY .exes were compiled by Richard Haselgrove on 29 Oct, 2020 on one of his machines and sent to me on 26 Jan, 2021. This was in regards with the problems with the 7.16.16 installer. I immediately installed them replacing the same .exe files with them in the BOINC program files on my system drive (C:). This is what stats file, which physically resides on my data drive (D:\BOINC) looks like for the project that I'm currently running. As you can see the individual stats file for this project was not affected by the crash, and it never has as far as I can determine. It would be the same if I were to have multiple projects on the machine. The problem lies in how it is displayed on the statistics tab on the manager. What should have been a trace line of daily work for several months has disappeared, as this file gets updated several times each day as long as the project is active. If I had multiple projects on my machine there would be stats for each project. As I stated this goes back further than 7.16.x. If a project was suspended for a period of time it would be reflected in the downward slope of its trace line. <project_statistics> <master_url>http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/</master_url> <daily_statistics> <day>1626393600.000000</day> <user_total_credit>80385628.041079</user_total_credit> <user_expavg_credit>200882.273097</user_expavg_credit> <host_total_credit>78317523.785721</host_total_credit> <host_expavg_credit>200882.262785</host_expavg_credit> </daily_statistics> </project_statistics> |

You're lucky, when I was running multiple projects I lost everything on each project. |

Message 104808 Posted 16 Jul 2021 by Cliff Harding |
I've noticed that when/if my machine crashes, mostly heat related, I lose my accumulated stats on the stats tab of the manager. It does not happen often but it does happen, and the stats start all over again from the last point of reference prior to the crash. The daily stats file for the project does not seem to be affected, just the STATISTICS tab on the manager. The stats argument on the cc_config_xml file is set to 365 days and has been for several years. So somewhere the accumulated stats are being lost. Please note that this happens regardless what the length of the stats argument. Currently I'm running 7.17.0 (x64) on Win 10 (build: 19043.1110), which is a prerelease, but this goes back much further; prior to 7.16.11. |

Can anyone tell me when the installer for BOINC 7.16.16_windows_x86_x64 will be finalized so that 7.16.16 can be tested in Windows 10? It seems that its been sitting in limbo since at least 27 Oct. 2019. |

For those of us that previously cruised in the SETIverse, I have sad news. ARECIBO has fallen. It collasped on 1 Dec and a drone inspecting the cables caught the collaspe. https://weather.com/news/weather/video/watch-arecibo-observatorys-dramatic-collapse |

Message 101572 Posted 14 Nov 2020 by Cliff Harding |
When will BOINC 7.16.16 (x64) be available for beta testing. It has been sitting on the beta d/l site since 27 Oct, but when I reported my results to BOINC Alpha, I was rudely shot down for the reporting as it was still in alpha testing and the installer was not ready for beta. Another question -- In of all the years that I've been beta testing, why was this even on the beta d/l site especially since the installer wasn't ready? |

Message 97025 Posted 24 Mar 2020 by Cliff Harding |
I tried folding@home when the news first came out about them and corvid-19, I gave up after it crashed my system 3 times in as many days crunching just GPU tasks even at the min. settings. Waked up in the morning and have to cycle the machine. NOT GOOD. I would have tried Rosetta@home, but it seems that it doesn't use GPUs. Does anyone know who within the BOINC world is running these types of studies that have GPUs as an option for processing? |
| 16) Message boards : BOINC Manager : BOINC 7.16.5 not auto starting!
Message 96551 Posted 9 Mar 2020 by Cliff Harding |
Just installed BOINC 7.16.5 (x64), upgraded from 7.6.13 (x64), on a Win 10 Pro machine and immediately noticed that upon a machine recycle that it did not do an auto start as specified in the Windows Task Manager. I attempted to post this on the BOINC Test Results site, but the highest this goes is 7.14.3, so I'm reporting this here. I will also send an email via BOINC Alpha. |

It seems that both SETI main & beta are both entirely down, can't get to either site. Attempted to update my machine and the event log stated that the site is down for maint. |

Ah well, the SSP is frozen though.... Seti main was up this earlier this morning and now it's down. Are the guys at CERN screwing thing up again? I thought they learned last time this happened. |
