2) Message boards : Android : Still status message "Nothing to do" and no GUI on Lollipop but crunching works (Message 64633) Posted 2 Oct 2015 by schildbuerger Post: Hallo together, my device is a Samsung Galaxy S6, Boinc comes from Google Play Store, actual it is v7.2.15 and there are no updates available. Short after I Installed Boinc, I registered some projects. The device installed the projects and crunching begun (the device heats significant up, in the last 30 days it completes a lot of tasks and collects about 17k credits). A short time after registering the projects boinc shows white eagle on white flag on every program function (projects, tasks, messages, settings and so on) if I open it from the app-screen. Only when boinc ist started from the status screen one single program function works: I can take a look at the status messages. From there I can activate commands like refreshing the status messages or send them per e-mail. Reinstalling Boinc doesn't make a difference. Is there something I can do to make boinc working? Regards, Klaus

3) Message boards : Android : Constant suspending of tasks (Message 64632) Posted 2 Oct 2015 by schildbuerger Post: Hallo together, I'm also running boinc on Samsung Galaxy S6. Even though there is no GUI since short after I've registered the projects, jobs are still running. If the device is plugged by the original charger, it's running without interrupts. At this time the green LED shows 100% Battery capacity short after it reaches minimum battery level. If it is connected by USB (2.0), most time there are a lot of interrupts in crunching when the device gets about minimum battery level. The red LED says that the device all the time is charging, but never leaves minimum battery level significant. This behavior is because of boincs energy consumption. The original charger delivers enough energy for crunching, USB (in my case 2.0) does not. Perhaps USB 3.0 or the following USB standard has more power.

In its first job my machine works as a Hard Disk Receiver (yaVDR is doing the task). So there is no GUI and I have to install packets using apt. Regards, Klaus

To solve that I have executed a lot of apt installs which results in a crash without realistic chance of repair. So I needed to setup the system from scratch, it's done so far by now. Where exact do I get a working nvidia-modprobe for my system? Thanks, Klaus

Before that, it works fine for Miliway and Seti, Einstein often runs into computation errors. Versions: Linux version 3.2.0-74-generic BOINC client version 7.2.47 for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 331.113 Any suggestions to solve the problem? Regards, Klaus

12) Message boards : BOINC client : Proposal optimizing the task scheduler (Message 58228) Posted 26 Nov 2014 by schildbuerger Post: Hello JuHa, the affecting machine is an Ubuntu 12.04.5 system which runs VDR as video recorder. My BOINC software is outdated, and I think it's best to update it to the current BOINC version before taking further actions. Thanks and Regards, Klaus

13) Message boards : BOINC client : Proposal optimizing the task scheduler (Message 58227) Posted 26 Nov 2014 by schildbuerger Post: Hello ChristianB, thanks for your reply. BOINC runs on a Ubuntu system. boinccmd -V shows 7.0.27. I think, I have to update BOINC, but I'm out of office the next days so it will take some time, before I can do the job. There is no X-Client running on the Ubuntu system, how do I update BOINC from command line? I fond the following thread http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=5876#33815 with an update advisory from 2011. Is it up to date? Regards, Klaus

14) Message boards : BOINC client : Proposal optimizing the task scheduler (Message 58185) Posted 25 Nov 2014 by schildbuerger Post: Hello together, in the current version of BOINC Manager the task scheduler starts all tasks at the same time and stops them, if configured to use less then 100% processor time, at the same time. If configured to use 25% processor time on a multi processor system, this behavior leads to a peek of 100% of processor capacity utilization followed by a period of idle utilization. One of my computers works as a video disk recorder. This computer shows dropouts in its main job if it uses both cores for boinc tasks, and I need to restrict BOINC Manager to use only one of the two cores to avoid those dropouts. Even if I restrict the processor utilization to 60% or less there are dropouts in video displaying, so this computer can maximal spend 50% (= one core at 100%) prozessor time to compute boinc tasks without dropouts in its main job. I see a very good chance to get better boinc performance, not only in my use case, if BOINC Manager starts the tasks asynchronous, eg. in a two core system first one task for the first scheduled period and after that the next task for the next schedule by a reduced process priority. In that case other processes with higher priority may get more computing time if needed and boinc tasks can be configured to use all cores with a high percentage of used processing time. In my expectance a typical win - win situation. What does the communty says to my idea? Is there a chance that such an idea will be implemented if it is working? Regards, Klaus
