2) Message boards : Number crunching : permanent HTTP error (Message 2850) Posted 14 Apr 2025 by Bill F Post: That is not to say that an update of a BOINC client is bad ... across the years many improvements for both Windows and Linux as well as some MAC's have been implemented in newer versions. Especially on the Windows side. Volunteers running Windows older than 7.24.x should consider 8.0.2 Bill F
3) Message boards : Number crunching : Stat's Export (Message 2799) Posted 8 Apr 2025 by Bill F Post: Technically I believe that Stat's are not "Exported" My understanding is that the information is updated to an Standardized BOINC address location and that the users that need it (IE the Statistic Sites like BOINCStat's) go to the file location and copy the data. Someone with more precise knowledge may update what I am trying to say. Bill F
4) Message boards : Number crunching : Stat's Export (Message 2762) Posted 6 Apr 2025 by Bill F Post: Here are the current time stamps from BOINCStats Last update user XML 2025-02-19 09:15:09 UTC (46 days 05:12:23 old) Last update host XML 2025-02-18 09:15:20 UTC (47 days 05:12:12 old) Last update team XML 2025-02-19 09:15:09 UTC (46 days 05:12:23 old) So we are not working Bill F
5) Message boards : Number crunching : Daily Notification from Denis emails (Message 2716) Posted 3 Apr 2025 by Bill F Post: Hi Bill, Trying to solve the problems, we have stoped and started many times the project and also removed the file that remember the last time a scheduled program was run. After solving the problem with the validation, we have restarted the server and all the programs and now it should start working well. If it is not the case, please post here again or send us a message. Best, Jesús. Jesús, Thank you for the reply above ... The hourly Message problem is still happening after your Server restart. Please advise if you need any specific information from my account or Time stamps from the Emails. Thanks Bill F

7) Message boards : Number crunching : Stat's Export (Message 2594) Posted 27 Mar 2025 by Bill F Post: Now that we are settling in on the new Server can we update the Script that populates the Stat's tables that external sites use for Stat's reporting ? They were last updated 35 days ago Last update user XML 2025-02-19 09:15:09 UTC (35 days 07:33:15 old) Last update host XML 2025-02-18 09:15:20 UTC (36 days 07:33:04 old) Last update team XML 2025-02-19 09:15:09 UTC (35 days 07:33:15 old) Thanks Bill F

10) Message boards : News : Project progress and summer period // Avance del proyecto y período estival (Message 2507) Posted 24 Dec 2024 by Bill F Post: Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.10 seems to have been released in May of 2024 so it's not real old. But at glibc of 2.28 you are one level down. Have you posted your problem on the Denis site ? The only problem I have with Denis is that I get no work for a very long time. The glibc problem applies only to the Asteroids project. And even that works OK on my Windows 11 machine. I checked and it seems even RHEL 9 comes with 2.28 IIRC. Yes ... I am sorry I should have said Asteroids@home. I would question the 2.28 vs 2.29 on the Linux and see if thy can address it. There may be other users like yourself as Linux is a major OS. Bill F
11) Message boards : News : Project progress and summer period // Avance del proyecto y período estival (Message 2505) Posted 24 Dec 2024 by Bill F Post: Asteroids@home has lots of work and is a stable project. I have been running it since January of 2013. They support Windows, Linux, MAC and even a little Android. Not all versions of Linux. I have downloaded Asteroids to my release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.10 (Ootpa).

12) Message boards : News : Project progress and summer period // Avance del proyecto y período estival (Message 2503) Posted 24 Dec 2024 by Bill F Post: SiDock is a good bio/med project. I get stuff from them on a pretty regular basis on Win11. SiDock is out of work (for anything but ARM apparently) since the 14th.... :( Ralf Asteroids@home has lots of work and is a stable project. I have been running it since January of 2013. They support Windows, Linux, MAC and even a little Android. Merry Christmas Bill F
13) Message boards : Number crunching : Task run times (Message 2424) Posted 27 May 2024 by Bill F Post: Bill, I looked up your processor and the Intel shows it as 8 performance cores and 4 efficient cores for a total of 12. You could try to limit that specific computer to 8 concurrent tasks. Not all your cores are equal in processing power Link to Intel information https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/134592/intel-core-i7-12700f-processor-25m-cache-up-to-4-90-ghz.html Johnathan This system as you can see is a Windows 11 box and BOINC does not at the Project level have a Core limit selection. I am untrained on Config files that might do the limit to 8 that your are suggesting... and is there a way to direct the work to the performance cores vs the others ? Thanks Bill
14) Message boards : Number crunching : Task run times (Message 2417) Posted 24 May 2024 by Bill F Post: The Server Status page shows an average run time for a task at 1.14 hours. The expected time per task that I down load is showing as 52.39 minutes. Two of my systems have times that are pretty close to expected run times considering their processing power. My system ID: 231553 has longer run times even though it may be my most powerful system. Does anyone have any suggestions on something I am missing ? My temps appear to be acceptable and fan's functional. Thanks Bill F

19) Message boards : Number crunching : Stat's Export (Message 1599) Posted 2 Apr 2022 by Bill F Post: The Admin for BOINCStat's wants to give former DENIS users a little more time to update their DENIS profile to allow export of Stat's. If he turns on reporting now anyone that has not "allowed" export of stats to "on" during the DENIS project restart would loose their prior history and points on his BOINCstat's site. This is another reason that it would be beneficial to post a "News" article about Stat's export. That way you have at least made the attempt. Bill F
20) Message boards : Number crunching : Stat's Export (Message 1598) Posted 2 Apr 2022 by Bill F Post: I would suggest that a "news" item be released publicizing the Requirement of User authorization for stat's to be exported via User project profile. Many returning users will not know to go looking for something that was not there before. Thanks Bill F
