Posted 18 Feb 2012 by skivelitis Post: Thanks for the reply and all the great reporting info, Ageless. Allow me to phrase my request another way. Would it be reasonable to change the nomenclature of the "show active tasks" tab to something like "show current tasks" or something similar and include therein tasks that are completed yet not reported? From a project perspective, a task is current until reported. Tasks that have not yet started should be excluded---these could still be seen in the "show all tasks" tab. |

Posted 16 Feb 2012 by skivelitis Post: Used ProcessHacker to restart the BOINC manager and the problem is gone for now. It has happened on this host before however. It was not stuck on that tab, simply jumping straight to it. |

Posted 16 Feb 2012 by skivelitis Post: A small modification I would like to see is in the show active tasks tab. Could this be modified to also show completed but unreported tasks? I love the slimmed down nature of the tab, but oftentimes tasks sit unreported without the somewhat cumbersome switching back and forth to check. |

Posted 16 Feb 2012 by skivelitis Post: On one of my hosts, when I right-click on the BOINC Mgr icon, the manager automatically opens to the notices tab. There are no new notices to be seen. I no longer even see the mini-menu with the snooze, etc. options. How can I bypass/disable/reset this? |

Changing ISP's creates headache of CPID confusion???
(Message 35369)
Posted 22 Oct 2010 by skivelitis Post: All you need is patience. Having followed this thread in the BOINCstats forum, I believe the problem is the e-mail address changed from "my former ISP provider.com" to "my current ISP provider.com" and all that follows thereby. mitrichr, I believe, would like to know why this form of account ID is the determining factor in CPID and if there is not a better way to identify a user account. |

Posted 16 Jul 2010 by skivelitis Post: True, this particular SETI problem is not a load issue -- but assuming they get this particular issue resolved prior to next weeks 3 day shut down, during the interim I expect we WILL see load issues big time. I am sure some of the pirhannas on the SETI forums would take you up on that. I no longer crunch for SETI but get amusement reading those message boards. |

Dual core behavior
(Message 32652)
Posted 7 May 2010 by skivelitis Post: What I'm wondering is why only one core seems to be used before and only before AQUA runs. I understand that AQUA will use both cores while in progress, but how can it (or BOINC) cause one core not to be used? Seems like a waste of a core for that time period. Why does BOINC not simply allow the core to be used and then suspend the task into memory when AQUA begins to run? |

Dual core behavior
(Message 32641)
Posted 6 May 2010 by skivelitis Post: Just got my first dual core computer and have noticed some unexpected behavior. Machine is Compaq Presario AMD athlon 4450e 2.3GHz w/ 3MB RAM running Vista Home Premium SP2. I have noticed when AQUA for instance is "on deck" only one core will be utilized by BOINC. Is this a function of BOINC or AQUA? If a BOINC issue, is there anything that can be done, and, if not, will it be addressed in a future release? |
