Just watched the program about it. Interesting stuff. Didn't give much cred to berkeley though.

Im just guessing here, but probably 'cos all they are doing is allowing the project to run on their already implemented design. Maybe the interest would draw in more people to thier projects so they dont mind.

Unless of course next episode they get a larger mention.

Berkley is only the distributed system component. The actual software and the model it distributes that does the hard work is actually Oxford uni.

Seemed to have dropped a place.

I'm in!

It put my username as Dom though, must've missed that when going through the config.

The way this thing is going, it might use more RAM than a 3-day-old Firefox (220Mb :eek:

)

You can change your username, y'know.

Beansprout · 21 Feb 2006 at 23:22

I did - I see now it shows up on the site, but not in the BOINC manager. I guess the client doesn't refresh username info

Now to load up on other PC, some old Athlon XP...but every little helps

Select project, hit Update. Job done.

Beansprout · 21 Feb 2006 at 23:53

Pure genius, thank you

Currently got this running on both of my machines, so I've joined.

Beansprout · 25 Feb 2006 at 19:10

Hmm, one of my machines has this in its details page:

Maximum daily WU quota per CPU 1/day

For some reason it seemed to corrupt its WU...it said it was processing but was at 0.00%, with the graphics showing a time/year full of 0s.

So then I try a reset project on it, and now it's saying it's exceeded it's daily WU quota...so it's sitting idle :/

Berserker · 25 Feb 2006 at 20:44

You'll have to wait until tomorrow then, or just detach and re-attach so it gets a new host ID.

My PC corrupted it's first WU too. Second seems to be all good.

Beansprout · 25 Feb 2006 at 21:12

Silly thing. Ah well...noticed this HT PC was only doing 1 WU, too, so fixed that :eek:
