Posted 6 Jan 2016 by SuperSluether Post: Hi! Is your team aware that you can compile multiple versions of your app and send them out based on the volunteer computer's capability? I'm sure it takes a little extra work, but I know it's doable. The Asteroids@home project has an app with no optimization, an app with sse2, and an app with sse3: http://www.asteroidsathome.net/boinc/apps.php If your team could set this up, you can publish an official optimized app while still allowing older computers to contribute. |

"DENIS needs 953.7 MB disc space free"

Posted 3 Oct 2015 by SuperSluether Post: I wonder... maybe free space is causing my task issue (http://denis.usj.es/denisathome/forum_thread.php?id=66) but maybe not. My problem was resolved when I borked something and had to re-install BOINC. Yes, I do have BoincTasks. It didn't say anything about disk space or task limit, just that it received 1 task. Now I'm able to get just over 100 tasks before I hit the limit of tasks in progress. |

Still, kudos to Crunch3r for compiling a cross-platform optimized app. Not everyone uses Windows. ;) |

Receiving 1 Task at a time?

Posted 16 Sep 2015 by SuperSluether Post: The issue seems to have been resolved for now. I have my BOINC data on a RamDisk of 2GB. I had a computer crash, which required me to re-install BOINC and re-create the data directory. Now DENIS seems to be downloading work as usual. Looks like BOINC simply didn't have enough free space to download more. |

Posted 15 Sep 2015 by SuperSluether Post: Interesting... I have a Ramdisk of 2GB for BOINC and my Firefox cache, but I never see BOINC complaining about memory, and it's only using about 0.5GB at the moment. I wonder... maybe free space is causing my task issue (http://denis.usj.es/denisathome/forum_thread.php?id=66) but maybe not. I'm on Ubuntu so I get Ramdisk for free. B-) |

Posted 13 Sep 2015 by SuperSluether Post: Probably little work available, no tasks to send at all now anyway. Tasks ready to send: 1880 I suppose it's possible that there's work for non-Linux platforms, but it looks like the validator, assimilator, and purge servers are still offline for some reason, so maybe there's something going on behind the scenes. |

Posted 13 Sep 2015 by SuperSluether Post: After the server crashed and got back online, I noticed I only receive tasks 1 by 1. I thought it would sort itself out, but it's still happening. I've tried reattaching, but no change. Any ideas what I should try? I don't see any errors about disk space or task limits. |
