1) Message boards : Questions and problems : Can’t get BOINC to run continuously (Message 106620) Posted 31 Dec 2021 by sjmielh Post: Hi Paul, What do you mean with logs off? Is BOINC not running anymore? Or is it a screensaver with screen lock? Or is automatic logout activated? https://support.apple.com/en-lk/guide/mac-help/mchlp2443/mac Sjmielh
2) Message boards : Projects : quarantine@Home (Message 98879) Posted 29 May 2020 by sjmielh Post: Hi, Quarantine@Home is a distributed computing project for Coronavirus research. They currently don't have Boinc support, but on their github repository they are willing to use Boinc, but need help. Is there somebody who can help them out. The project uses Autodock. Thanks! Sjmielh
3) Message boards : Projects : Coronavirus projects? (Message 98774) Posted 24 May 2020 by sjmielh Post: Another project is Quarantine@home. No Boinc project unfortunatly, but they have GPU NVIDIA support.
4) Message boards : Projects : Pi user, life after SETI, what to crunch now... (Message 98080) Posted 26 Apr 2020 by sjmielh Post: A PI can run Rosetta, but it needs some extra work Oh and TN-Grid also runs on my PI 4.
5) Message boards : Promotion : Dreamlab works on IOS, BOINC could take the same route to work on Apple mobile devices - BOINC devs/management please read!! (Message 94852) Posted 11 Jan 2020 by sjmielh Post: Also, as far as I can see, the app is doing the calculations directly. This differs from BOINC which is a managing app, but has to download the science applications from the project(s) before they can be used for calculations. Well I don't know if this completely correct. You have to select which project you want to use in the Dreamlab as well. Probably the executables are included in the Dreamlab app and not in Boinc (but as you said we don't know for sure because there is no source code). That is the problem that Apple has with the Boinc approach. But it would be very helpful if Boinc uses the Dreamlab approach and bundles the iOS executables with iOS Boinc app. The disadvantage is when an project executable is updated the Boinc App needs to be updated. But the advantage is that you have the potential of lots of new devices. Sjmielh

8) Message boards : BOINC client : Pause BOINC on full screen applications (Message 82156) Posted 22 Oct 2017 by sjmielh Post: What helps for me is to snooze the GPU and then I can watch netflix. The CPU projects just continu. Maybe it works for you too. Sjmielh
9) Message boards : Questions and problems : Can BOINC run on my old iMac G3? (Message 82155) Posted 22 Oct 2017 by sjmielh Post: The problem you probably have is that the SSL is too old to actually run a project. Einstein@home and seti@home support PowerPC CPUs, but I wasn't able to connect an old mac to run because of the SSL problem. PowerPCs are apparently pretty good for Einstein@home Sjmielh

13) Message boards : Promotion : Petition for IoS Boinc app (Message 79081) Posted 18 Jun 2017 by sjmielh Post: Apple made a change to the App Store policy to allow code execution in apps. But it is only for educational apps and developer apps. I think Boinc is very educational ;-)
