Hi everyone.
has someone any issue with Boinc?
i have many tasks that are ready to report but it seems that Boinc is not reporting them, i have the same issue on both machines, it is just me?

So my numbers will continue to be low. I got the one ssd installed in the main rig, but then last night BOINC wasn't running. I've yet to do the wife's rig and it's been out of work for almost 2 days. :cry:

Just checked my 2 machines running and they seem to be OK, no work uploads pending.
 
My tasks are taking too long to be reported, normally after a task is finished it just take a few seconds to be reported:banghead::banghead::banghead:

I had similar issue recently. If you restart the BOINC client - completed tasks get reported almost immediately.

What do you mean by restart?
 
I forgot you are on linux and running a crazy amount of threads on your XEON monster.
Then:
Code: 
/etc/init.d/boinc-client restart

My android client stopped working completely a few days ago. First I thought it was a phone glitch, so I tried to reboot it a few times.... no success.. Just hangs on the BOINC logo.
 
:D

This morning was happening on both Machines, Gaia and Pandora, I just restarted Pandora and since then it's reporting properly but Gaia continues with the same issue, I have thought that maybe because Gaia has many tasks in progress, pending for validation and valid that could be why it takes longer to report.
It's just my theory.

Edit: @silentbogo i have restared Boinc using the code you gave me, i will let know if the issue is gone.

Supposed to be selling three E5620 systems tomorrow. If so that means more CPU upgrades for the T5500s
 
I've experienced something strange a few times over the last week or so.

When getting into a game , I pause BOINC, naturally, no biggie. But there have been a handful of times that after a bit of gaming, my fps takes a noticeable dip. Didn't take long to realize that BOINC just decided to kick back in. Not sure what the deal is/was and it never did that before, just recently.

No a big deal, just wanted to share :)
 
It's BOINC's new feature to let you know when you've been gaming too long.
 
Hi everyone.
I have a silly question!
Are 12GB Ram enough for 12 Cores?

Cheers.
 
More than enough. You probably could get away with 6GB or less.

This is the Machine, it has 6GB per CPU, i have thought that the 6GB will helps those
X5675 to perform better.

I've found that 2GB is enough for a 6c/12t system--that's what I'm running my E5649 system with and it's successful. It would be tight running FAAH2 or CEP2 WUs, so 3GB would probably be better, but 2GB works. IIRC some of my 12c/24t setups are running only 4GB and, again, doing fine, mostly running OET.

Maybe I will remove 8GB and I will use it for a new build.
Maybe one more Machine as the one posted above.

Always nice to be able to resuse HW :)

The only problem is that if i buy one more Machine like the one posted above it comes with 32GB Ram.

Is that really a problem?
 
Anyone else running out of work on there rigs due to stats.png and wcg.png not being able to download? 5 of my 12 rigs are suffering from this and 2 are completely out of work and the other 3 won't be long before the are empty. All 5 are windows based rigs. None of the Linux rigs have the issue.

Edit: Aborting the transfer seems to temporarily fixed the issue.

Try it now- I got an error and it just cleared up and grabbed some work.

Time correct?
 
No, not having this issue at all on my few Windows systems.
 
I aborted the downloads of those two and they grabbed more work. I just got done updating the clients on those 5 rigs and the downloads popped back up but went ahead and downloaded. Maybe an issue with older clients as I don't update unless it's either a new build or an issue. I don't fix unless broke LOL.
