Open BOINC > Tools > Computing Preferences > Minimum Work Buffer / Max Additional Work Buffer. Buffer is measured in days

Just wanted to point out these steps are for the Advanced view of Boinc, basic view doesn't display the buffer.

Who the hell is SNURK and Friends and is that some God-tier sandbagging or what? They are at best a 3 Million point team normally. Time to "kick it up" and mow these suckers down.

Doesn't matter if they are 3M team, we should take them over tomorrow

2 days ago, Mr Kermit transferred over from University Of Illinois-Champlaign to SNURK and Friends and he is a heavy hitter. Looks like he just freelances and bounces around(Trolling Challenge's along the way). 1.3M Boinc Points(9M+ WCG PPD) per day is something to be reckoned with.

krusha03 · Feb 27, 2015

In any case it's all going for a good cause, doesnt matter if we are first or second

st2000 · Feb 27, 2015

hm, i'm just glad to see that cause "every coin(point) helps"©
even if we compete with them and win/lose, it's just great to help community with research)

offtop: i heard about this oportunity randomly and about 2-3 days ago, i've never heard of it and now i'm just a bit happy that knowledge and possibility to do some good things)
after chalenge i wont exit from this program)just wont 24h/day, but still 14-18h/day

What hardware does he use?

Mr Kermit went from no ppd to his current astronomical level in two days- If we take second to that kind of effort and we put our all into it then we earned a well respected spot in the challenge and WCG won by having that much extra work done.. :toast:

A lot - Yesterdays runtime:
MrKermit 7:270:10:27:54

Thats 7 times our GoBuuku and he runs more CPUs than I care to count.

AlienIsGOD · Feb 27, 2015

im going to opt out of prizes this time around, i have won several times and want to give someone else a chance to take home some hardware

I always knew there was something about him I didn't like!

3,877 device installations for MrKermit!
Edit: Imagine the "hosts" list on FDC if he allowed it. :eek:

Edit II: Snurk's results are curious. They have more OET (192,981) than UGM (162,390) results! They really seem to cherry pick their projects. Very low percentage of CEP's.

MxPhenom 216 · Feb 27, 2015

I have my 4770k going now, and it doesnt look like I am getting that many points out of it. I just submitted 3 work items, and my points only went up by about ~100. Is this normal. I get close to ~200pts per work item that got reported on my pentium chip.

You don't get immediate credit for work submitted. Every WU that is done for WCG has to be done by 2 or more people. When those results match, those who submitted that WU get the credit. Sometimes, the completed WU can sit in "Results Status" for weeks.
In my experience, a CPU won't hit its average for 7-10 days, and the PPD always bounces around.

Are you using the latest client?

I'm now using the 7.2.42(x64) and the msg isn't there anymore.

The other day I notice that OET have a lot of runtime (almost the same as MCM). When I look at my list of waiting WUs I'm wondering that I did wrong since only 2% is OET.

Sorry to bother and DP but how do I make the client update as soon as the job is done?

If I make a notepad of this is when I get the missing start tag.

Is there something missing? @Norton @BUCK NASTY @manofthem @SirKeldon

I have ONE rig that reports when it completes a job (very old client on XP) the rest live their own life (2-8 hour between upload) with the same setting. Good luck in finding the correct way of setting your systems up.

krusha03 · Feb 27, 2015

Any idea why I am getting this? I added a 8 core xeon in the mix but seems it doesnt want to have more than 10 tasks. I put 10 day buffer limit and 20 GB for it and i still get this...

10 days is too long - the WU's will time out before you get to them.

I am completely aware but i have only 10 WUs and it's a 8 core machine so was being desperate to get more tasks and assigned 20 GB and 10 days

manofthem · Feb 27, 2015

I think Mr Kermit deserves it because his name is Mr Kermit

You could try @FordGT90Concept's little utility which should configure to upload immediately
