Posted 6 days ago by [AF>Le_Pommier] Jerome_C2005 Post: The server seems more stable now, each time I come it is working, only it is pretty slow, but working. What is missing are tasks :) |

Posted 7 days ago by [AF>Le_Pommier] Jerome_C2005 Post: Any news on when we'll be getting more work to do? :) Even more : any news when the server will be working all the time ? because for the moment it is up and down (not responsive) more or less continuously. (I find a quick moment to post this when the server seems up...) |

DENIS fiber simulator 1.00
(Message 3192)
Posted 13 days ago by [AF>Le_Pommier] Jerome_C2005 Post: I got a bit less of 20 tasks since yesterday on my intel iMac. They calculate average 4.5 hours but one took 17 hours to complete. Deadline is too short, or there is something wrong because the server canceled one of the tasks on the same day. Credit is lame, but hey, this is a bio project after all. |

Posted 28 May 2025 by [AF>Le_Pommier] Jerome_C2005 Post: Mine are still not finished my iMac after 20 hours / 80% (i9 intel) but an AF colleague ended his tasks after 32 hours (I don't have the specs of his machine): less than 600 credits granted, I hope the final "non beta" app will be reevaluated about credits :) The good news is they seem to be working fine and not crashing, this is a good thing already. |

Low memory usage
(Message 2115)
Posted 18 Jun 2023 by [AF>Le_Pommier] Jerome_C2005 Post: 8 GB per task is extreme, very few projects use that much. Many projects (apps) have a "regular" use of RAM, if this ever means anything in computing :) Check the link I give above, you'll have an idea for all existing projects and applications, depending on the OS used. |

Posted 18 Jun 2023 by [AF>Le_Pommier] Jerome_C2005 Post: I see this old thread and the page you mentioned still have the same issue (macOS void) : I think there is an issue with this (standard ?) page of the (Berkeley provided ?) boinc website. I assume a github issue should be created in the boinc-site project ? |

Crunch only one project at a time

Posted 18 Jun 2023 by [AF>Le_Pommier] Jerome_C2005 Post: I assume what you mean is "if I have 2 boinc projects allowed on this machine and I have 8 threads available I want all tasks to be the same projects at once and not mix tasks from the different projects" when they are running ? AFAIK the only way is that you suspend the other project(s) manually and only let "one at a time". And then you switch. |

Screensaver
(Message 2111)
Posted 18 Jun 2023 by [AF>Le_Pommier] Jerome_C2005 Post: It's rare nowadays that project spend some time to implement screensavers, it's a resurgence of the time when boinc was mainly ran in screensaver mode and volunteers would fear about "permanent execution". You can run most boinc projects without fear continuously regardless of your activity, the tasks executed are always launched using the OS low priority setup and will normally release instantly if any other process requires the same CPU amount at any time. Maybe some GPU tasks of some projects, depending on your configuration / GPU, will make that your machine lag a lot. This is also why you have a dedicated "suspend calculation when computer is used" setup for both CPU and GPU in boinc parameters. |

Low memory usage
(Message 2110)
Posted 18 Jun 2023 by [AF>Le_Pommier] Jerome_C2005 Post: Size does not matter ;) I think the amount of RAM is not directly linked to the efficiency of the calculation, a tiny algorithm can do miracles :) It mainly depend on the type of calculation actually performed and how it is implemented in the algorithm, some will need to store big "table of result" in memory to process until the end (and maybe just keep a small fraction of it in the final outcome) and others will not rely on "what was calculated before" to reach the outcome. There are other boinc projects that have a low RAM requirement. Check there. (I strongly recommend you install WUProp project on all your machines, the tasks consume hardly no resource and don't use one slot : they gather usage statists to feed the result page of the project and help the community + it also keeps track of time statistics on your own crunching and provides you wonderful stars you can add to your badge signature, based on the time spend regardless the power of your machine(s) :) ) |

Posted 20 Jan 2023 by [AF>Le_Pommier] Jerome_C2005 Post: It would be great to have permanent work, it's hard to maintain volunteers motivation without regular work :) Regarding the mac / linux comparison, I forgot to mention it is in the same machine (VM linux in a mac). In any case keep up the good work and viva boinc ! |

Posted 19 Jan 2023 by [AF>Le_Pommier] Jerome_C2005 Post: Hola ! Happy to see the project is back :) Tasks are working fine both on macOS and a linux VM (on the same machine), which is great, not many projects maintain a mac app ! I can notice that tasks take 1h to run in the linux VM and 1h45 in the mac with native tasks (same app version / same credit at the end). A bit sad but it is not the first time I notice such behaviour, maybe due to some compilation options ? |

New human ventricular cell model for mac ?
(Message 1916)
Posted 4 Sep 2022 by [AF>Le_Pommier] Jerome_C2005 Post: I now receive both "New human ventricular cell model" and "Beta of DENIS-myocyte" on my mac :) Also on a linux VM I get both, but in there the beta is much quicker than on the mac, and I realize it is the same for NHVM = almost twice the run time under macOS (2 hours) compare to the run time in the linux VM (1 hour) inside the same iMac... |

Posted 26 Jul 2022 by [AF>Le_Pommier] Jerome_C2005 Post: OK entonces no esta visible en los detalles de una tarea : en el mac : Application : Beta of DENIS-myocyte 0.13 en la VM linux del mac (misma maquina) : Application : Beta of DENIS-myocyte 0.13 (pero confirmo que solo es un punto de display, hice un reboot de mi VM linux y siguió calculando las tareas con la duración anterior) Otro pequeño detalle tarea del mac : 1h46mn tarea de la VM linux en el mac (misma maquina) : 1h06mn Esta duraciones parecen bastante estables : la applicacion linux es mucho mas optimizada que la mac (Beta of DENIS-myocyte v0.13 para los 2). |
