Thx for the sTAtS, fred! I seem to be getting some WU's again, though not as many as I'd like.

Someone punched it too hard. A lot of the new WU's are erroring out.

Hang in there. This is the "fun" of Alpha projects. New WU's are being distributed right now. If your BOINC client hangs, just wait it out. It will recover. Do an update on Cosmology and things will clear up.

I don't see the problem. As long as TallBilly doesn't pop in with another "1", you've covered the overshooters.

Bold move RT, moving one of your FX-60's to Linux overnight. It's working so far. :thumbsup:

I now have 2 moved over. And if I can find Linux equivalents for a couple of apps, I'm moving the last one. (Stealth Updates is the last straw for Microsoft.)

I've got two red down-arrows, one for team rank and one for project rank

However, Jim now has The Big Red Wedgie and I now have The Big Green Wedgie!

It took 19 cores to pass you. Splendid crunching! :thumbsup:

Looks good - but I got more than 140 pending WUs .... Should I get cold feet? :Q

Nah. The pending tend to rise and fall, much like tides.

-jim

 

[petrusbroder]

Well, then I am building a tsunami - rising, rising, rising ... when will the wave break?
(143 x 50 = 7 150) ... in a challenge? :Q

 

[Philippart]

I passed 500,000 credits in BOINC combined during this challenge!

 

[petrusbroder]

Congrats Tom! :thumbsup:

 

[Rudy Toody]

Way to go, Tom!:thumbsup:

 

[caferace]

GreAT crunching, Tom! I'm in the same "boat", and will break 2MM sometime in the next day or so. The second million was much harder, and considerably more expensive.

-jim

 

[petrusbroder]

Yeah, Jim I agree. And the third million is even harder because you want to reach it even faster ...

BTW: I am up to 155 pending WUs = 7750 credits = which is slightly less than 19% of my total production.
Yeah, 19% of my production is pending ... I hope they get ripe before the deadline ...
I'll stop my production when the pending credits + the granted credits = goal - 5 credits.

 

[Coquito]

Gah, I forgot all about it. Too busy planning my trip to German Beer Fest this weekend.

Don't worry TallBill, I'll send you lots of pictures.

Congrats on the milestones, Philippart & caferace! :beer::beer:

 

[Rudy Toody]

TTT

 

[Philippart]

HELP!

Does anyone have a spare Turion64 CPU to run cosmology@home on it? The second replication of my results can't be sent because there are not enough CPUs of this type registered to the project. My credits will be pending until someone adds a few Turions.

THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Tom

 

[petrusbroder]

Sorry - I do not have such a processor at all.
But I have the same problem with my dual Athlon MP 1800+. It is essentially a XP 1800+ but ... i have many pending results "unsent".
I have also many AMD x2 processor WUs pending, but those get crunched now and then.
Perhaps we should go and encourage TeAm-members to join ... ... or we have to wait
