I take this opportunity to tell you that the different variations of the optimization are continuing, in some cases it seems that we could obtain better results, but we are going to be cautious, when they are finished we will inform you of the final result.

Good summer everyone.


Great!. Good summer to you

Meantime my first milion point arrived...

Hi AkasPDM,
Not in the short/medium term. We have an idea for a new type of simulations that would greatly benefit from GPU power, but it's a big project.

Best,
Jesús.


1 year later, our gpus are still ready :-P

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".

I know screensaver it's "old school", but may help to attract new volunteers...

Maybe some GPU tasks of some projects, depending on your configuration / GPU, will make that your machine lag a lot.

There is a post about the use of gpu on Denis, but it's old.
I don't know if they are working on

Maybe a simple restart of boinc server daemons will solve the problem....


Jesus has written to me on Twitter.
Now the problem is solved.

Hi!
We have returned from vacation this Monday. Before next Wednesday, we will launch a group of simulations again.


We are ready!!

My father suffers of atrial fibrillation (treated with Cumadin/Warfarin).
So, i crunched this project.

Click "JagDoc", click "Computer", watch for odroid clients, click "tasks". tadaaaa =D


Ah, ok, thank you (i think that everybody doesn't publish their pcs...)

I tested it now on Odroid-N2+, Odroid-M1, Odroid-C2 and Odroid-C4 running with Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS/20.04.4 LTS.
All work fine.


Just curious for benchmarks on Odroids.
How many minutes?

On the other hand, we have been working on expanding the number of platforms and we have added in beta mode an application for ARM64 on linux (e.g. RaspberryPi), and ARM for Apple (for new Apple chips). We want to see how well they work. If all goes well, in the short term we could also consider expanding to Android.


My smartphone is ready!! :-)

We will keep this version as beta for a few days to be sure that no other problems appear.


Any news??

It was simpler than I expected.
Next week I will publish a message summarizing the work of these weeks and announcing some news.


Great!!

No problem.
I hope that these beta tests give also some scientific results....

Pc restarted: checkpoint ok
Closed boinc manager (and apps): checkpoint ok

Much more tests coming, but it seems a good app
Well done

We will continue trying to find why the checkpoints are not working in some windows machines.


I think is more important to have valid wus (scientific results) than checkpoint (the working units are not so time consuming).
But if they resolve the checkpoint problem, is great!

I suspended yesterday evening 3 beta's to shutdown the PC overnight.
I watched the checkpoints were set. Progress was at about 88% after 1hr40m runtime.
This morning I resumed the three tasks at the same time.
One task resumed from the last checkpoint, the other 2 started from zero.


I've had the same problem
Admins knows the situation

Checkpointing seems to be happening every 2 minutes which seems to be a little too frequent.


With a strange behaviour.
I restarted my pc with 4 wus at 88%.
After the restart, 1 wus was at 88%, the others 3 restarted from 0%

Is it ready for production, going out from beta status??

I disabled the MS antivirus, but still very slow.
After 2hrs the wus are at 38% (other versions finished after 70 minutes)
