TAS poll for April 2010

[Fardringle]

Do you guys concentrate on only 1 sub project or just let yo yo send you whatever is available?

I don't care about the project badges so I just let my computers grab whatever they want.

YoYo server has been down for a few hours. I had to switch to NFS. I'll go back to YoYo when they are up and running again.

But we should do the PrimeGrid Race for April ...

OK - I'm ready ... I think. I changed my preferences to 321 LLR. What are the requirements for the operating system?

 

[rabrittain]

Hmmm ... is anyone else getting computer errors on some of the ecm tasks?

Per their message on project page: they had some ecm WUs that exceeded memory requirements. They have been fixed.

 

[Fardringle]

I'm still getting a lot of these ecm.exe errors on my computers so I'm going to shut that project off on the Yoyo site. The errors are making my users anxious..

 

[rabrittain]

...right! no more ecm for me either!!

 

[filibusterman]

I'm not getting so much error messages but the WU go past 100% and I am unsure if I get credit.

 

[filibusterman]

Ohh yea and on one computer I saw an ecm.exe instance takine up 1.4Gb memory....seems abnormal.

 

[filibusterman]

Sorry, last one! I don' know how to post stats but I just noticed we are the second overall team for yoyo! Just in time to switch to prime grid i suppose. Time to get teh other rigs up and running now that its cooler out again even if only temporarily.

 

[Rudy Toody]

My production is up by quite a bit.

The only thing I can think of that might be responsible, is that I updated some libraries. Would this be likely to have this great of an impact? Or, did they change something on the project?

It really helped to get to the million point badge much quicker?

 

[Fardringle]

Interesting. My daily production actually dropped by about 2000 points over the past week. Maybe you stole my points?

I have found that ECM gave the most credits. Why don't you try it for a day or two and see if it gives you higher credits?

 

[Fardringle]

ECM gives application errors on all of my machines. Even though they supposedly fixed the problem right away, it still kept happening so I turned that one off and won't turn it back on. If it was just me, I wouldn't care too much, but most of my computers are used by people in a work office and getting errors on their computers makes them panic...

Not that it really matters. It's time to switch to a new project tomorrow anyway.
