Posted 20 May 2007 by ephman Post: it might be because of the priority/nice level of the boinc apps - I believe speedstep will still throttle the CPU if the intensive task is only low priority. Could you turn speedstep off, or do you use speedstep when running on batteries? found the solution. fiesty now supports frequency scaling... tada. had to make a few changes to change the setting from on demand to performance and that was it. solid 1.7ghz now all the time. sweet. thanks, ephman |

Could you turn speedstep off, or do you use speedstep when running on batteries? i don't want to turn speedstep off just yet. however for me to get the chip back up to the 1.7ghz i had to change the priority to normal from very low. seems to be working. things seem to be a little sluggish now however. i didn't want to do that because it's not a default setting from boinc, but anyhow we'll see how it works out. thanks, ephman |

Posted 19 May 2007 by ephman Post: Have you checked temps? To me it sounds like thermal throttling. But I agree it's odd that other CPU intensive programs work fine. my temps ran a bit high when things were normal, around 64c @ 1.7ghz, now they're a steady 47C @ 600mhz. however, when i turn off and on my computer boinc never goes beyond the 600mhz now thus never allowing the chip to get hot enough to throttle back. i don't think that linux can remember what programs cause the chip to heat up and then on reboot remember to throttle back the cpu when boinc runs. i might be wrong. i upgraded to the latest 5.8.17, and still only giving out 600mhz, not the full 1.7ghz. when i run the cpu benchmark the chip then outputs the full 1.7ghz. haven't tried the prime yet. i told you this is a strange one. thanks for the bandwidth, ephman |

Posted 19 May 2007 by ephman Post: hi, here's the scoop. i'm running ubuntu fiesty on my intel 1.7 ghz. i'm running a few boinc 5.4.11, projects (rosetta, and climate) which maxs out the cpu. now without any changes to the system i've noticed that my cpu won't go over 600Mhz running boinc. just happened the other day. it's like the intel sidesteps the chip down. weird. however when i'm running any other programs and the cpu needs everything its got the chip works just fine and will go up to the 1.7 ghz. but when that process is over it'll go back down to the 600 mhz while running boinc. now i know it might be a boinc related issue, however, nothing changed. so whatever i reinstalled the program just in case and that didn't solve the issue. i've looked all over so this is my last hope. any suggestions? thanks, ephman |

Posted 23 Dec 2005 by ephman Post: awesome for the info thanks. i'm running a pretty quick linux machine and i've been looking at the report deadlines and shouldn't have a problem hitting any of them. climateprediction however is sending me units with dec/5th deadlines. anyhow i'll just let things run they way things were installed it seems to be going pretty well. now all i have to figure out is how to run this thing in a daemon... that'll be an adventure i'm sure. i've run grid type projects in the past like protien@home, and the old seti@home, all under linux, and the reason i stopped was because my machine always felt really sluggish, not with this boinc app, i still feel pretty quick, so i don't think i'll be dropping out anytime soon (or until i burn up my cpu it's shot up 10 degrees celsius). thanks for the bandwidth, ephman. ok i just installed everything yesterday. all my projects are under ephman |

Posted 22 Dec 2005 by ephman Post: thank you, ok i just installed everything yesterday. all my projects are under ephman rosetta einstien predictor seti world community grid lhc climateprediction so once i start finishing units my stats page on that site you linked below will automatically populate and update as units complete? there is no manual settings that i have to set it sounds like right? your help is great bill thanks. be well, ephraim. Maybe i should be a little clearer. on the homepage to this site there is a "Featured Participant". it shows all the projects that the person is participating in, with a pie chart. |

The selection is random, but I _believe_ it is weighted at least a little bit with how many "I like this profile" votes you've gotten causing you to be more likely to be chosen. |

Posted 22 Dec 2005 by ephman Post: hello, how do you setup up boinc so that you can become a featured participant? i'm running a linux version. anyhelp would be great, i've done some searching and can't seem to find how to make the settings. thanks for the bandwidth, ephman |
