41) Questions and Answers : Preferences : Client core values (Message 200) Posted 10 May 2011 by Clod Patry Post: By looking at the task name, you'll notice something like: dnetc_r72_1304995456_8_477_0 The interesting part is: _477_ this means that work units count for 477 stats units on distributed.net stats. Normally it's around 448. If you change core, you'll see a different speed in those 2 tasks. the _good_ simply means the faster. By using 2 tasks with 477 stats, if one core is faster, it will take less time to complete. That would be great if the BOINC benchmark (in the BOINC manager) would do a benchmark for existing GPUs too.
42) Questions and Answers : Windows : inconclusive work (Message 198) Posted 10 May 2011 by Clod Patry Post: good catch. Sadly, Teemu will have to answer to this one. I also noticed, i've few inconclusive too: http://moowrap.net/results.php?userid=616&offset=0&show_names=0&state=2&appid= Also, what is inconclusive work really means? Another bug with the validator?

44) Questions and Answers : Preferences : Client core values (Message 196) Posted 10 May 2011 by Clod Patry Post: Different cores simply means different algorithms used by d.net client to maximize computation with your current hardware. By maximizing computations means crunching more keys/sec. If you look at your task, you'll see, how fast your tasks were completed. The higher speed, the better you're, cause it will take less time to complete a work unit. example: http://moowrap.net/result.php?resultid=75750 you'll see: [May 10 08:49:57 UTC] RC5-72: Summary: 7 packets (448.00 stats units) 0.00:11:09.51 - [2,873.96 Mkeys/s] which means, that tasks 2873960 keys/sec. By default, having it to -1 should be already maximized. Some users notices if they changed it to some other values maximized their computation. The names aren't really important.
45) Questions and Answers : Windows : inconclusive work (Message 187) Posted 9 May 2011 by Clod Patry Post: yes, Teemu made a change in the validation (regarding this problem) for version 1.01. If you guys see that same problem with 1.01, that's definitly a problem.
46) Questions and Answers : Windows : Not Getting New Work (Message 186) Posted 9 May 2011 by Clod Patry Post: did you try to reset the project? Maybe to fully detach and re-attach to that project? If both are not working, we'll investigate more to fix that problem for ya. Thanks

49) Message boards : Wish list : BOINC stats (Message 179) Posted 9 May 2011 by Clod Patry Post: I contacted him too, so it's just a question of time before being added. yay
50) Message boards : Wish list : platforms supported (Message 175) Posted 8 May 2011 by Clod Patry Post: hi, we are proud to support all GPUs. Any ATI and nVidia cards are supported on windows and Linux (32 or 64 bits). Is there any platform that you wanted to be supported? Teemu and I were discussing about not supporting CPUs, since the work generated on CPUs is "too low" vs GPUs. An i7 2600K get like 8 Millions keys/sec while an ATI 4870 does about 550 millions keys/sec. We prefer working on GPU platforms. So, do you think we should support CPUs too?
51) Questions and Answers : Windows : Low credits on 6970's (Message 172) Posted 8 May 2011 by Clod Patry Post: credits should be fixed now.
52) Questions and Answers : Windows : CUDA app 1.01 crashes when a core is manually selected (Message 171) Posted 8 May 2011 by Clod Patry Post: Microcruncher: we'll look into that bug. Do you have the same behavior if you choose any other core or just this one? Thanks for this report.
53) Questions and Answers : Windows : High CPU usage (Message 161) Posted 8 May 2011 by Clod Patry Post: I've noticed the dnetc-1.00.ini (same as d.net's dnetc.ini) is initialized as: [processor-usage] priority=4 By default, it's be set to 0, is there any reason why this is initialized as 4?
54) Questions and Answers : Preferences : Problem with Distributed.net ID preference (Message 160) Posted 8 May 2011 by Clod Patry Post: I've set the distributed.net ID few days ago. It was working fine on almost all the tasks done in windows. but in my first Linux unit, i've noticed, the d.net's ID seems to be ignored. See the task: http://moowrap.net/result.php?resultid=57446 (you can see) ========================================================================== * The client is not configured with your email address (distributed.net ID) * Work done cannot be credited until it is set. Please run 'dnetc -config' * ========================================================================== Could it be a bug in the new Linux client?
55) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : percentage progress (Message 159) Posted 8 May 2011 by Clod Patry Post: hi, I am curently testing the client under Ubuntu 11.04 64 bits. I'd like to know if it's normal that percentage isn't growing at constant rate? After 5 seconds, it's already at 14.814%, but remain at this percentage for like 5 minutes, it increases at 30.120%, then at 43.373%, etc. That would be great if the progress would increase at constant rate.
56) Questions and Answers : Windows : Driver Requirements? (Message 68) Posted 3 May 2011 by Clod Patry Post: You see the the minimum requirement at: http://moowrap.net/forum_thread.php?id=16 thanks
57) Questions and Answers : Preferences : questions regarding credits (Message 57) Posted 3 May 2011 by Clod Patry Post: I wonder if there is some boinc politics regarding credits? I know with dnetc, that machine was doing 600 000+ in credits with dnetc (which is 10X the current credit). Some other person feel the credits should be higher too?
58) Questions and Answers : Preferences : questions regarding credits (Message 54) Posted 3 May 2011 by Clod Patry Post: hi, after running it almost 24 hours, the credits sum is much lower then I expected. Teemu: can you describe in details how credits are given? I see: [May 03 00:24:36 UTC] RC5-72: 4 packets (256.00 stats units) are in out.r72 results in 414.81 [May 02 23:27:09 UTC] RC5-72: 4 packets (254.00 stats units) are in out.r72 results in 411.57 which seems to be: 0.617149 par stats units. Is is mainly based on CPU time? All other GPU projects is giving much more credits. I saw other users complaining about this "problem". Do you consider a little increase?
59) Questions and Answers : Windows : CUDA Failure (Message 52) Posted 3 May 2011 by Clod Patry Post: We'll have to dig a little bit why this is causing a problem. Which driver version?
60) Questions and Answers : Preferences : more work units (Message 49) Posted 2 May 2011 by Clod Patry Post: Which ATI drivers do you have ? If you have the same card, that should be much more quicker.
