Message boards : Number crunching : zero credits for valid result?? ( Message 1349 )Posted 3926 days ago by daniele "SUCCESS - Charmm exited with code 0." looks valid to me regardless what the validator says. there are other results with the exact same message that were marked as valid. A validator's problem :) Or maybe a wrong indication given to the validator by the admins. |

Message boards : Number crunching : Linux users ( Message 1348 )Posted 3926 days ago by daniele
Hi Doug, my great friend. I have little spare time and I can't read the part of the thread I didn't participate to, so would you explain your problem? Are you running two boinc clients for docking and for the other projects? |

Message boards : Cafe Docking : Linux users - POLL - credits and distros ( Message 1347 )Posted 3926 days ago by daniele But the fact needs deep concerning. How percentage of the all PCs over the world is participatihttp://docking.utep.edu/forum_reply.php?thread=93&post=1337#inputng in the distributed computing? How many hours in a day do they crunch? How does electricity changes by crunching workunits? and so on... Too much!! :D I don't know if it's better a big supercomputer of the equivalent in small computers, because probably a powerful cray is more efficient regarding electricity, but it's not as flexible as thousands of little hosts. You can't play sim city on a cray supercomputer, no way :) And if you could, only one person at a time :) Since this thread was born mainly to know each other, can I ask you about your sign? Why "audentes fortuna iuuat"? Is it a mistake or you meant something particular? BTW, what does your wonderful name mean? edit: sorry, I'm having a party and I posted twice! |

Message boards : Unix/Linux : Helping Users with Linux WU problems. ( Message 1335 )Posted 3926 days ago by daniele The onus to fix something should not be on the computer owner but on the project admins who should fix the client. You were supposed to be an alpha tester. If you were not, you were of little use, so don't worry. Have a good stable day. Conan, don't be afraid, your idea is very good indeed. Anyway we are coming to the big problem: are these users alpha testers only by the name? Can't they see there's something wrong with their machines? :) |

Message boards : Cafe Docking : Linux users - POLL - credits and distros ( Message 1334 )Posted 3926 days ago by daniele On a lighter note don't you think it is funny that nearly 100,000 people have signed up and added 186,000 computers to fight the global warming issue? You are right, this is a big problem. Anyway we don't have another mean if we want to calculate something. We live in continuous contradiction and we perservere with it. Probably we like our contradictions, or we are our contradictions... This is sure academic :) |

Message boards : Cafe Docking : Linux users - POLL - credits and distros ( Message 1333 )Posted 3926 days ago by daniele As to how you can compare to me, well, it is all a bit academic really. What do you think I started this thread for? From the result of one of my WUs: my host: AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2400+ RAM: 218.55 MB kernel: 2.6.15-27-386 (not optimized for AMD cpus) Measured floating point speed: 1415.65 million ops/sec Measured integer speed: 2264.62 million ops/sec CPU time: 13,120.70 claimed credits: 31.63 "his" host: AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2700+ kernel: 2.6.17-10-generic (newer than mine) RAM: 1011.41 MB (far less swapping) Measured floating point speed: 1050.14 million ops/sec Measured integer speed: 1838.65 million ops/sec CPU time: 12,563.41 claimed credits: 22.63 Granted credits: guess it... 22.63 This is obviously a problem due to the system itsels and to the benchmark. And it should not be due to how many boinc projects that host is running. If I knew how many processes run on it, and the distro, maybe I could guess something. I know that I claim for very little credit as well, but think I'm claiming for nearly the maximum with the standard client. hence the faster computer will not make more credit claims in a day than a slower one only because yours do. :) |

Message boards : Unix/Linux : compute error ( Message 1327 )Posted 3927 days ago by daniele When I started this project the 'fix' for getting Linux to work on most distros was to add the 'ulimit -s unlimited' parameter to the 'run_manager' file. Hi Conan :) Don't know why, probably it's a difference between debian package and Fedora's one. It's not rare for debian mantainers adding or removing something from packages, for example I don't have a run_manager script, and I run the client with the boinc user. Anyway, if you are happy with FC and I'm happy with a debian-based distro, we could be friends as well. :) I'm not saying FC is a bad distro, it's good indeed, but I prefer more dolid and coherent "system administration structures". It's not for nothing that tools like apt are spreading in many different, non debian-based distros. |

Message boards : Unix/Linux : Redhat RHEL3 problems ( Message 1326 )Posted 3927 days ago by daniele I've never tried Debian. It's not offered much for web servers here in the US, and when it is, the datacenter often will not support it. I understand, when in your situation it's not easy to change if you manage to build a functional and working system. Maybe it's better if you don't change at all :) |

Message boards : Cafe Docking : Linux users - POLL - credits and distros ( Message 1325 )Posted 3927 days ago by daniele Forgive me for rambling I have avoided nearly all other credit debates but I need to have a say so I am saying it here. I totally agree with you, and I'm not sorry when I don't agree, I'm happy when I read something different from my thought. Anyway, you are using an optimized client, so how do you think I could compare your data with mine? You are claiming much more than me, more than double, and you are granted nearly double credits. Moreover, you receive here at d@h nearly the same number of credits I receive with Rosetta WUs :D To come to an end, I don't even know the differences between a normal client and an optimized regarding credits, so I can't tell if FC is working fine with boinc. This thread is only for fun and to speak a bit with you, linux users in this project. Ah! I don't like FC :P |
