1) Message boards : BOINC client : 7.0.39 source tree not found (Message 46830) Posted 16 Dec 2012 by Toralf Foerster Post: Hhm, me wonders about this result : $ git clone git://boinc.berkeley.edu/boinc.git Cloning into 'boinc'... remote: Counting objects: 125503, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (23579/23579), done. remote: Total 125503 (delta 101926), reused 123487 (delta 100389) Receiving objects: 100% (125503/125503), 104.24 MiB \| 586 KiB/s, done.

2) Message boards : BOINC client : mv() versus rename() (Message 46777) Posted 13 Dec 2012 by Toralf Foerster Post: While reading the changelog of v 7.0.41 https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=6698#46649 /me wonders about this entry : Solution: if rename() fails, try system("mv ...") since mv works across file systems. It is my understanding that "mv" under "unix" already emulates a "rename" for the same file system and really moves data only for different file systems - or is this only true for the command "mv" ?

4) Message boards : BOINC client : 7.0.39 source tree not found (Message 46252) Posted 12 Nov 2012 by Toralf Foerster Post: /me misses (to test that under Gentoo Linux): http://boinc.berkeley.edu/svn/tags/boinc_core_release_7_0_39
5) Message boards : BOINC client : does a project can abuse the boinc client resources ? (Message 44639) Posted 27 Jun 2012 by Toralf Foerster Post: Currently I'm using 7.0.29, my network usage is 0.1 day (minimum work buffer) 0.1 for Max. additional work buffer. The project starts with 2 hours, then 4 hours, the current task is about 22 hours. As far as I can observed it, the project (reactivated yesterday) was active the whole time, the Boinc and the World Community Grid shares the other 50 %. . I deactivated MalariaControl again, because it eats too much RAM (and the system/CPU is unresponsive too) from my a 2GB RAM of my notebook.
6) Message boards : BOINC client : Boinc and Cuda in Gentoo (Message 44620) Posted 24 Jun 2012 by Toralf Foerster Post: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-923320-start-25.html is a good starting point - I run here 7.0.29 at a x86 Gentoo w/o problems.
7) Message boards : GPUs : GPU not maxing out, only at 4% - 25% peak on some projects (Message 44619) Posted 24 Jun 2012 by Toralf Foerster Post: but the projects I'm running are not using more than 4% - 25% of my GPU Core. That's not bad I think. There was a grid project in the past (few weeks ago I don't remember which it was) - reporting, that only about 1% of the peak performance of the GPU were effectively used in practise.
8) Message boards : BOINC client : does a project can abuse the boinc client resources ? (Message 44195) Posted 20 May 2012 by Toralf Foerster Post: Thx for your explanation. The project is "malariacontrol.net". In the mean while I suspended the project. It uses too much RAM too.
9) Message boards : BOINC client : does a project can abuse the boinc client resources ? (Message 41938) Posted 5 Jan 2012 by Toralf Foerster Post: Since few weeks I'm observing that one of the 3 project I'm subscribed too sends work units with a rather short deadline. This seems to force my client to always run that project (== 50% of all resources) and to a share the remaining 50% to each of the 2 other projects (== 25 %). I'm running 6.1.242 at under Gentoo Linux and would expect to have that project only running 33 1/3 % of the whole time.
10) Message boards : Questions and problems : different platforms have different efficiency to solve a project work unit (Message 36272) Posted 30 Dec 2010 by Toralf Foerster Post: The statistics for me indicates my systems needs for "Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy - Phase 2" about 41 hours for about 53.000 points and about 54 hours for "Human Proteome Folding - Phase 2" to get the same amount of points. Under the assumption, that the efficiency of different computer platforms to compute results for different projects is really measured by the # of points - what's about using this as a decision criteria for the central work unit scheduler ?

13) Message boards : Questions and problems : only 1 of 2 core used if one of 2 projects is down (Message 26607) Posted 14 Aug 2009 by Toralf Foerster Post: Ok, b/c 6.6 is unstable until now for Linux - I'l stay with it - or I'll suspend E@H - probably that would help
14) Message boards : Questions and problems : only 1 of 2 core used if one of 2 projects is down (Message 26589) Posted 13 Aug 2009 by Toralf Foerster Post: I'm running World Community Grid and Einstein@Home w/ BOINC 6.4.5. E@H is down (again) due to a file server crash (again) - and now only 1 of my 2 cores under Gentoo Linux is used - why doesn't the 2nd core spend its time to the WCG project too ?
