Are heatsinks that big safe for your CPU/MB if you move it around? My case doesnt leave my desk often but when it doesnt i really dont want to have to take off my heatsink.

I have installed many very heavy heat sinks (with pelt chips) and have not seen or had any problems with moving them as long as they are secure and you don't set the system down hard to create a bounce effect.
Motherboards are very strong and flexible.

I just had it happen again on another core. It went to 99% and then, after 5 minutes, went to 100% where it sat for 10 minutes before going back to 1%. During all of this, I watched the core utilization and it never dropped below 99%.. just continued crunching so it definitely did not restart. Just very odd progress meter behavior like Andy states I guess. Again, this is Linux, so maybe it's even more exaggerated than it is on Windows.

I just had one do that in Vista 64.
Did yours continue on back to 100% and complete?

Currently have 6 sitting at 70% with the longest running unit at 35H 37M and the shortest at 31H 45M. I haven't completed one yet. I left 8 running while I slept last night but just paused two of them to free up some memory to hopefully let these 70% units run a little more easy.

Ok. Please let me know if the one you had restart, restarts again if you know which one that was.
Thanks.
Looks like the one that restarted on my system is working it's way back up.
It's at 2%..again.:(
I have completed 2 other units on this machine that I had the one restart on so I don't think its the system.

Edit: I read on there message board that someone reported that the 4th time a unit hit the 100% it finally finished.

All of them here have "restarted" once according to the progress bar. However, I don't believe it was a true restart meaning the work actually restarted from the beginning. I think it's just part of the overall progress bar bug that plagues this garli application. I have no evidence whatsoever that there was a true restart with any of these projects here.

The six are still sitting at 70% for the second time. :rolleyes: These are some serious projects in terms of processing and memory requirements. To do this project justice on a Core i7 rig such as mine, one needs 12GB of RAM. I think I am going to buy another 6GB on pay day when I buy GPU(s) for this box as well. Garli should be renamed Gnarly.
 
Adam stated just yesterday that, although the progress bar does get "stuck" at various spots (such as 70%, it should never go backwards. The cores haven't been rebuilt against the latest BOINC API's in awhile though and he suspects that this might be causing the problem. He states he's going to recompile "soon" :rolleyes:

We've seen this happen before, albeit recently. There are known problems with the progress bar, but it shouldn't ever go backwards like that. Perhaps rebuilding GARLI against the latest BOINC API will help- I'll try to do that soon.

I just completed 3 of those 6 I referenced above. Roughly 38 hours on each. The other 3 are still at 70% but I suspect will finish soon.
 
I have 3 completed also and it doesn't look good on when I'll get the points for them.
One is in quorum with a Q6600 that downloaded 51 units and hasn't returned any.:confused:
Another is in quorum with a Q9450 that has client error on 16 of 23 download and the rest still in progress.:(
The last is in quorum with a Power Macintosh Model PowerBook6,7 with 512mb memory.:mad:
I have a feeling this is going to be a long project.:eek:

Epic fail on that, WTF people? :mad: Lattice is now out of work as well. I still have 11 WUs downloaded in queue thankfully.

Edit: make that 10 to go. Just turned in another one. :cool:
 
Man what is up with all these HUGE WUs lately? Seems like there are a lot of projects with really big WUs. The sudoku ones I have been working on were taking about 36 hours each. I woke up this morning to find a pair of new Sudoku WUs that were are going to take about 90 hours each! I guess that rig is tied up for the next 3 or 4 days.
 
Has anyone figured out these Wieferich@Home Wus yet? It seems as though its doing 2 WUs at a time? It looks like one WU finishes pretty quickly and the other one takes quite a bit longer. And I take it your score doesnt update until you submit of the bigger WUs? :confused:

You get points when you turn in either one.
I believe you get more points for the larger periodic one.
 
They will. At first when they finish they have the ready to report status. As I understand it this is sort of a warning to the server - "Hey these WU's will be coming in." I think the next time then that you request new work from the server it will do the upload. This kind of gave me a funny feeling at first too but it always uploads.

If for some reason it wont update you can go to the projects tab, click on the respective project (ABC@home) and then click update. That will do a manual update. I sometimes do this if I am skipping around projects and I don't request any more work of a certain project. But it should eventually update on its own.
 
Yep, metallicafan thats correct.
The units actually have been uploaded, but for them to post to your credit or pending they need to be acknowledged by the server (then they disappear) when the next scheduled update for that project in your project list tab.
If there is no showing scheduled update next to the project in the project tab then you can hit the update button to manually do an update.(beware if the option is not selected to not allow more work for that project you will probably get more work for that project)
If you don't want to download more work at the time but want to acknowledge your done work simply select the project in the projects tab and click the button on the left to tell that project not to download more tasks, then click the manual update button.
You can manage stuff pretty good that way.
Also you can see whats happening behind the scenes by looking in your messages tab.
 
Cool, the guy with all the client errors finally got one to work and it was mine.:)
How much more lucky can a guy get!

Razor - Any chance that you are using the Linux RC5-72 Cuda Client? I want to reformat the machine that I have running RC5 to 64 bit linux but I dont have the old CUDA client downloaded. So if I did a reformat I would lose the ability to run that client.:( Thought maybe if you were running the Linux version you could send it to me.

I was out of town for the weekend and just got back. I see one of my Lattice Project work units finished, but I got no credit. The claimed credit was 570.89 points for 26.5 hours of CPU time, but 9 other results failed and one is still pending, so the entire work unit has the error "Too many total results" (11 with 10 max). Hopefully the people that can't run these WUs will figure it out and remove themselves from the project.

I'm working on a second unit now (15 hours so far) and have a third in the queue. The good news is that the WU I'm doing now already has a successful result, so I should get the points immediately when I'm done. It should finish in a few hours. The third unit looks like it might have a second successful result as well.
 
All I'm waiting on for my first Lattice unit to validate is a Q6600 with 51 lattice units in progress. WTF are they doing sending one box 51 of these bastards?
 
I've sent in a request to the PSP administrator to create a [H]ard|OCP team. I'm now working on some sieve's that count for both PSP and SoB so we should also start seeing some SoB-Sieve numbers soon.

Awesome news. If you remember, put a post in the Official Project List when everything's official.
 
I noticed we lost a spot in Wieferich@Home thanks to Alliance Francophone. This project is going to be tough. I'll keep two cores devoted to it, but I think easier points might be found elsewhere.

Yeah I had three cores on it but repurposed two of them until I get some more specifics on this project. I just finished a Wu and got 25 points for it. Its tough to get points here. I will let my Opteron work on it for a little while yet and see how it goes.

When we lost that spot - it kind of hurt out update. i think we lost like 250 points for that one spot. :(
 
I've got 2 more cores I can switch on..... what project do you want then to work on?

I'm currently hammering ABC, and I'm also working on rosetta and Einstine. I also have one core working on a mutant uber huge climate change WU.

I feel your pain I just completed a unit that had a quorum with 10 people that had client error.
That one was 642.05 claimed credit.:(
 
The January crush @ work is almost over (thank God..) so I'll have time to play with a few other projects shortly.

Looks like the Commando's ranks have grown a bit. Awesome. Welcome to all the new Commandos.

The Projects spreadsheet should be pretty up to date. I'm currently working on CPDN, Spinhenge, GPUGrid along with WCG. I'm bouncing in QMC, Poem and SHA-1 intermittently.

All the SZTAKI units I tried errored out. Not sure what's going on there yet but I'll give them another run soon.

Looks like we're going to blow the 50 mark out of the water before months end. Might even hit 40 by Valentines day... woohoo! We're making some great progress in the Vault. Nice job Commandos!

Ditto. Mine was 826.82 claimed and I'm going to get 0. I also have another one in progress that no one else was able to complete. I've turned in 7 units so far, only 1 has been granted credit to date. The other 5 still pending will hopefully be granted soon. I still have 7 WUs still crunching. I'm currently devoting 5 cores at a time to Lattice until I buy some more "D".

Excellent, they also have a new native 64-bit Windows beta client. I was getting worried as my current 64-bit beta was getting set to expire in a couple days. The 64-bit beta supports both RC5-72 and OGR-NG. :cool:

Our lowest totals on BOINC based projects are Lattice, uFluids@Home, SZTAKI, NQueens@Home, and yoyo@Home. That's where you'll get the most bang for your buck right now. Einstein and Rosetta have only ~400 more points each total that we can get.

Edit: and we jumped to 53 overnight. That boost from the lattice project was real nice.
