Posted 4 Apr 2015 by Rasputin42 Post: I have a wu, that makes less and less progress, the longer it runns. At36% it has already taken 45h and it is getting slower and slower.Should i abort it? |

Posted 2 May 2014 by Rasputin42 Post: Hi, I am doing a few short "bounded" tasks. Even thoug, the runntime for these tasks are much less, than the time remaining displayed, before the task is started,the time remaining does not decrease for the unstarted tasks, no matter how many i am calculating. Is this a boinc ,or a project thing? It does work with Prime Grid. |

Posted 1 May 2014 by Rasputin42 Post: So, if i shut down everything non essential, overclock the living daylights out of the system, run benchmarks, upload the results to the project and throttle everything down to normal, i would get much more credits for the same work, until the next benchmark is run. Correct? |

Posted 1 May 2014 by Rasputin42 Post: Thanks Eric, I have it back to normal, now. Do you have any idea, how boinc works out, when to run a benchmark test by itself? regards Rasputin42 |

Posted 30 Apr 2014 by Rasputin42 Post: I checked the benchnark rating for my computer (9030) in this project and it was 1200/3340. I ran a boinc benchmark and it was 2000/3340. Then i rechecked my computer in this project, and it was the same. If that is/was the problem,why is the benchmark result relevant for credits? It should not be. regrds Rasputin42 |

Posted 30 Apr 2014 by Rasputin42 Post: I checked the benchmark rating for my computer, that is attacht to the work unit report before and after the change in credits.There is no difference. But even if the cpu benchmark in boinc is completly wrong, it should not affect the credits. For the credits, it only matters, how long it took to compute, not what the benchmarks say.For approx. the same runtime(CPU time) of a task i am now getting much less credit. The only thing, i changed recently is the language and the keyboard, but how could that possibly influence the credits? |

Posted 30 Apr 2014 by Rasputin42 Post: Hi, I have noticed, that finished Tasks reported in the last 2-3 days have 30-40% fewer credits than before.Same Application. Why is that? |

Posted 18 Mar 2012 by Rasputin42 Post: I checked the settings and they are OK. However, i finished one (of the four)tasks. The other 3 are listed as " timed out- no response " in my account. Does this mean, that i will not get any credits? The cpu time for the finished task is 1,083,110.00 sec (or 300h or 12.5 days) Total run time 1,276,200.57(or 14.75 days. Regarding the credits, this is about 5 credits/hour. |

Posted 17 Mar 2012 by Rasputin42 Post: No, it is running without any interruptions and boinc only. Running Ubuntu 11.04.(64-bit) I did notice, that the cpu utilization is not anywhere near 100% for any of the tasks. My guess, this is due to the application. |

Posted 16 Mar 2012 by Rasputin42 Post: I have two tasks at about 64.3%, run time so far 321h( or 13.3 days), If that is about the half way point, they will run for 26 Days total!!!!!! Even for a slow (isch) computer, these kind of times are way, way too long! Another task, also running for 321h is at 82%. This is the other end of extreme. Milkyway mt cpu tasks are running for between 5 and 40 seconds each. The download and upload takes longer than that--very inefficient. That is ridiculous as well. |

Posted 15 Mar 2012 by Rasputin42 Post: My tasks have been running continuously for 290h (about 11 days). The deadline was mar-9 11 pm. Calculating from the the percentage done, it will take another 8 days to finish. How is the remaining time calculated? The progress of these tasks are very non linear. |

Posted 10 Mar 2012 by Rasputin42 Post: Thanks,frankenhagen. It runs 4 tasks at the same time. However, for what it's worth, it runs completely and directly on solar power. It only needs 15W to run, so in terms of energy efficiency, it is very good. Total computing power is not exactly great. |

Posted 10 Mar 2012 by Rasputin42 Post: I have some tasks on a slow computer. Do i abort the task? They have been running for 5 days and are about 50% done with the deadline reached already. On a side note:Should the project/ boinc not have prevented this? |
