TPU's WCG/BOINC Team

ICS appears to only work between Windows OS machines. That's all fine and good but, I can't be held to that. Linux offers my meager team of cruncher's a little boost they deserve!
 
@Arjai hey bud I sent a pm and I am sending you 3 usb wifi adapters with other stuffs. They 2 grey/silver ones are the Linux ones and the best i have found to use with linux.
 
The i3 system is all torn apart and it won't get back together til tomorrow looks like. I even took apart the 7770 because it had some nasty dust accumulation. However that had to be put on hold because I had to be daddy agaij and fight the restless natives, natives being my little girls :roll:

So after this system gets its clean out, my main rig will get it, and it needs that badly; that's going to be a much bigger job though.



Additionally, since I won't be doing the 4770k for a few days, I restarted the crunching back up, under my name. I updated BOINC to the new 7.4.36 and the whole "bad email paramter" error that persisted in my systems is FINALLY GONE! :D

Yea I had seen where they finally addressed that issue. I was also running the old version due to that issue.
 
I almost never update my boinc version. Is there any particular reason I should?

Normally I never bother to worry about the version, but I actually saw the notice in the BOINC manager that the update was available. When I saw that, I remembered that I had read somewhere (or someone posted) that the newer version fixed that issue I was having.

Other than that, I'm clueless.
 
I downloaded BOINC for my Samsung Galaxy and I have a curiosity, for mobile version is the same account that i use on my Machines?

Cheers.

Boinc manager versions shouldn't affect output except for scheduling bugs. The changes between versions are mainly bug fixes (scheduling bugs, ETA bugs, WU corruption, etc.) and features (7.0.25 added support for OpenCL for example) but WUs are self executable and their credit output is the same regardless of the manager version.

I don't usually update my managers except for a expecific need (upgraded 6.12 to 7.0.25 for GPU OpenCL support, etc) or for new crunchers.

That being said, I'm just talking about WCG, maybe other projects (Seti, Rosetta, etc) are more affected by the manager version.

After upgrading to Ubuntu 14.10, for the first time I can see all 48 cores in System Monitor(used to show 32). Thought I would have had to load Windoz in order to see this. Anything after 12.04 lack the Trinty Unity driver, so the GUI is all buggy and slow. It's painful to navigate on the servers.

Throw a cheap vid card in there with support and you're good. I can even hook you up with one if you want.
 
Finally got the i3 put back together, though the front and back sides aren't back on yet. It's crunching agian, and the Coolit Evo works nicely, keeping it at 40*C instead of 55ish*C like the stock hsf. It was pretty nasty with the dust buildup! :eek: The hsf was blocked and filled in completely with dust, no wonder at the crazy high temps!

Some pics below. @Norton that ram kit look familiar? ;)

Holy crap @manofthem , that puppy was plugged up bro!
I usually have to clean my systems every month or two at the most as I live on a dirt road. I have seen crap that bad after 3 to 4 months. Filters help some but not as much as one would think.
 
Can someone tell me how to setup BOINC on Android?

Cheers.

Just download from Google Play and install - search on 'boinc.' It's pretty simple. What exactly are you having a problem with?

Don't know what to tell you except the obvious - check the id and password you entered. You can try not putting in an email. That shouldn't be required. If it is, it should be the same one at which you receive any notices from WCG.

The account that I use for my pc is the same with Android?
 
Yes. I suppose that you can create a new account just for your Android device but my guess is that there is probably a different way to do that. The screen you're getting seems to want the login infor for an existing accoutn.
