1) Message boards : BOINC client : Boinc Manager not shutting down GPU Tasks (Message 28967)
Posted 24 Nov 2009 by Jonathan
Post:
Im running Windows 7 64Bit, and boinc 6.10.18.

I've setup boinc to only run when computer is idle (this includes the GPU tasks) but once a GPU task is executed (whilst my PC is idle), and then on going back to a busy state, the GPU task though saying suspended, isnt actualy suspended.

I know this because the clock timer continue's ticking for the task, and my PC's performance takes a big knock.

I've tried forcing all tasks to suspend without much luck, the only luck i've had is to close the boinc manager.

Any idea's on when this bug could be resolved?

IM using windows vista.

My PC is permantatly connected to a local network (which isnt connected to the internet), only a manual connection to the internet is created when I plug my phone into my PC using it as a modem.

Im aware that the manager connects to the client via LocalHost, which is why this is so frustrating, since localhost is never really gone (been 127.0.0.1), the only break is the internet, which doesnt affect any of my local internet settings.

My only assuming around this is that, the manager/client picks up a network change on my local machine, and that fires an event off, but that event then doesnt check to see if localhost is still connected. Least, thats the only thing i can think of, and if it is that way, its a very silly way oif doing things.

No I don't. Didnt do it on previous versions either.

The network connectivity im assuming is purely to upload/download of project jobs, so I can't see how this would affect the calculation of jobs nor the connection to the client. Am I wrong?

I've been running BOINC for a while now, though with the newer versions I've noticed I get a box that is trying to connect to client.

Now to put it a little clearly, my PC is seldom connected to the net, or I only connect it on demand, but this rises the issue of the above error. As soon as I go offline of the internet, my boinc manager can't connect to the client. And this is resulting in Computation Errors been thrown.

How can I make it so that even if not connected to the internet, my manager can still connect to the client.

I've checked my hosts file, and made sure that localhost does exist in there (pointing at 127.0.0.1), and I am at a loss of what else to do.

Help is greatly appreciated

Thanks
