2) Message boards : Projects : News on Project Outages Message 111457 Posted 31 Mar 2023 by zombie67	3.5 days from when? From about half an hour after the time stamp on my post assuming all goes to plan. Nothing from Andy saying otherwise though he has sorted out another one or two issues on the testing site. Thanks. So that would be around April 1st midnight UTC, which is about 13 hours from now.
3) Message boards : Projects : News on Project Outages Message 111449 Posted 29 Mar 2023 by zombie67	CPDN off line for maintenance. Hi All, We are going to be moving the location of the main application/scheduler and database servers. For this we will need to take the project offline for 3.5 days. This works starts with a taking a copy of the database, during which we need to make sure no changes are made to the database, so we will be taking the project offline over that period. This work needs to start soon. So I will be starting this work in 1 hours time. Sorry for the short notice. Best wishes, Andy 3.5 days from when?

5) Message boards : Android : BOINC for BoincTasks on Android Message 104768 Posted 11 Jul 2021 by zombie67	This is awesome! Using it now and it works great with BOINCtasks! Thanks! The only problem is getting the password to work. I turned password off and all is good.
6) Message boards : The Lounge : Apple M1 & BOINC Message 103134 Posted 23 Feb 2021 by zombie67	Update: The M1 took 3 hours and 53 minutes per task, running 8 at a time. For comparison, I started 8 tasks on my iMac with a i7-4790K (4c/8t), and they are still running. It looks like those will take about 12 hours.
7) Message boards : The Lounge : Apple M1 & BOINC Message 103131 Posted 23 Feb 2021 by zombie67	Thanks for the heads up! My M1 Mac mini is running 8 tasks now. FWIW, it seems to be running a wuprop task properly too.
8) Message boards : The Lounge : Apple M1 & BOINC Message 102812 Posted 5 Feb 2021 by zombie67	Any new news?
9) Message boards : The Lounge : Apple M1 & BOINC Message 102422 Posted 5 Jan 2021 by zombie67	Are there any projects that have actually produced native apps for the M1? I have one now and would be happy to help develop either BOINC or apps.
10) Message boards : Projects : BitcoinUtopia charging 100% fees (for admins personal profit) Message 69524 Posted 9 May 2016 by zombie67	Right. In the past the project took a % cut of each campaign, to fund their overhead. Now they separated the overhead support, from the campaign support completely. Crunch for a campaign 100%, and/or crunch for the overhead. Completely your choice. Nothing nefarious here, and more controllable by the volunteers. If you agree, it would be nice to have the subject of this thread changed to something more accurate and less misleading.
11) Message boards : Questions and problems : [Discussion] 4th Generation BOINC credit system Message 69523 Posted 9 May 2016 by zombie67	Quoted from mikey (message 69486): You're right, the BOINC credit system doesn't have any responsibility to change its system(s) to suit the needs of Gridcoin; it does however have a responsibility to continue improving/developing its system(s) to address the needs of BOINC users/projects as a whole. Is there any BOINC development funding any more? I thought that ended recently?
12) Message boards : Questions and problems : Inability to attach to project Message 52849 Posted 27 Feb 2014 by zombie67	I am having the same problem with the linux x64 7.2.39 version. Can't attach to yoyo. Is there a work around for that? https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/55884901/choose.png https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/55884901/result.png https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/55884901/event2.png
13) Message boards : BOINC client : Not requesting tasks: some task is suspended via Manager Message 48678 Posted 19 Apr 2013 by zombie67	Ugh. That may be an okay thing when attached to multiple projects. Other projects can still send tasks. But for MT projects like BURP/renderfarm/yafu/milkyway/SimOne/etc, it really does not work to be attached to multiple projects. You end up with many idle threads while BOINC winds down all the single thread tasks, when it is time to switch to a MT task. This is especially a problem when some of the single thread tasks are the kind that do not checkpoint, so the continue to run to completions (as they should). So if you are running, say, BURP and RNA, you can end up in a situation where a single RNA task will run for a month, while the other 7 threads sit idle because a MT task is up next. That is a long way to say when running MT applications, they really need to be run without running other projects as back-ups. An in that case, if you suspend a task, you should be able to get more work from that same project.
14) Message boards : BOINC client : Not requesting tasks: some task is suspended via Manager Message 48676 Posted 19 Apr 2013 by zombie67	I have a BURP task suspended, because I think it's defective, and I'm waiting for the admin to confirm if I should abort. So now BOINC is idle, because when it asks for more tasks, it returns with: Not requesting tasks: some task is suspended via Manager Since when does a suspended task prevent getting new tasks? Is this something new? Surely this is not intentional by the developers.... This is with 7.0.62.
15) Message boards : Questions and problems : Cannot load request into XML Document Message 47608 Posted 2 Feb 2013 by zombie67	The admin at that project had the solution (even though it had nothing to do with his project). That machine has invalid global prefs - unclosed xml tag. (from wcg@home, poem@hme or sat@home) Move global prefs on that machine to Einstein@home or MilkyWay@home.
16) Message boards : Questions and problems : Cannot load request into XML Document Message 47602 Posted 2 Feb 2013 by zombie67	I have just one machine our of several, that cannot get work. All the same, win7 64, same version of BOINC, etc. This is an error I have never seen before. I can't even tell if this a server error or client error.

17) Message boards : GPUs : Ivy Bridge HD 4000 graphics Message 45177 Posted 7 Aug 2012 by zombie67	At least one project is trying to write an app for this now. How is the BOINC development coming along, to "see" the GPU inside the CPU? I don't recall seeing it identified in the start up messages, like with the other GPUs and CPUs.
18) Message boards : Questions and problems : GPU tasks cause MT tasks to sit idle Message 44955 Posted 19 Jul 2012 by zombie67	Nothing?
19) Message boards : Questions and problems : GPU tasks cause MT tasks to sit idle Message 44901 Posted 15 Jul 2012 by zombie67	http://yafu.dyndns.org/yafu/forum_thread.php?id=106 Has this been brought up before? Is there a solution (other than running the MT tasks in a VM)?
20) Message boards : GPUs : Ivy Bridge HD 4000 graphics Message 44576 Posted 21 Jun 2012 by zombie67	OK, when Ivy Bridge is on the market, development will get one for one of their systems and start implementing OpenCL support for Intel GPUs. Possibly that Sandy Bridge (HD2000/HD3000) graphics are supported then as well. So here we are with IB on the market. How is the development coming along?
