Told you so.

Not only that but it takes a couple of days for it to come up to speed in the stats if it's been down or crippled for a couple of days.




Great job on the numbers TPU crunchers.

@CP what fans are you using on the Megahalem? I'm thinking about getting one to replace my 9700n. The 9700n was great on my E8400 @ 4GHz, but on the Q9550 Quad not so great running Boinc @ 100%... hehehe

On my Phenom when I am looking @ the adv view I see that only 2 of the 4 tasks running are actually progressing in % whereas the other two just sit there as their time to completion increases. Eventually they switch and the two that were progressing stop and the other 2 continue on. On my Q9550 rarely do I not see all 4 moving. Normal? thanks!

that doesn't seem bad at all. Have you look for reviews online to see how it performs? Make sure it is not worse than what you have now

If you open up task manager you should see that it isn't at 100% continuously, do what I said above and you should be running at 100%

yea so far the reviews haven't been bad. Adding 2 high cfm fans, and it's close to a "true" setup @ around half the price.

It is set like that currently (all my crunching rigs are/were set that way). In task manager all cores are constantly loaded @ 100%, guess its just how it is. Thanks!

Guys,

I had a long discussion abt the IT in my company blocking the WCG site. This is what the global IT team in Houston had to say

""Guys – IT purposely blocks this site. We found that even though it is a charity based site the application it asks you to install uses the systems CPU cycles and sends a lot of chatter over the network. As a matter of fact, this site is what helped to bring down the proxies in Dubai and Aberdeen which had the connection table bug. We cannot support this…as it wastes network resources that are not sanctioned by the company.""


I dunnow whats gonna happen now.

I thought that WCG only connects to the net every now and then to send results and obtain new projects. The effect on the network should be minimal...

That is what i was always led to believe.

From the WCG FAQ ...
Quote:
Is the agent continuously connected to the internet?
No. The agent connects to the internet when it finishes a work unit to upload the results as well as download a new work unit. This should take 2-3 minutes on a broadband connection and 10-15 minutes with a modem.
Quote:
The bandwidth usage is minimal and equivalent to visiting a few web pages once a week or every few days on more powerful computers.
