magic8192 is looking "hot" with his Genuine Intel(R) CPU @ 2.70GHz [Family 6 Model 45 Stepping 5] (64 processors) ekkk

Are there any fake Intel CPU's that someone would allow to be seen ???

Gotcha, working now.

All I need to do now is work out where to put the optimised app on the mac.

Anyone have a clue?

Everything I read about it says there should be a Library>Application Support>BOINC Data>projects> folder

But mine just has Library>Application Support>BOINC

And no other folders inside that.

Maybe it's a hidden folder issue, the Boinc directory in windows is hidden, maybe it's hidden on the mac and you need to show hidden folders in the settings? just a guess.

It just let me create an account at the second attempt, they might still be suffering with load issues.

Have you tried doing it when you join the Denis project through BOINC ?

Tried IE and FF without success. Then tried to log in via BOINC Manager Communicates with server then says login failed. Anyway I went away for a bit then came back and give it another shot and it went through!

And I see the 12 instances of 'denis_1.05_x86_64-windows__sse41' running nicely.

At this moment I'm not seeing my name in the members list, does someone have to verify me or shall I be patient?

If that didn't work you could have tried turning it off and on again

Yes, you are on the team, no results come through yet to confirm the app your running, but looking good

How do you know it is 12 instances of the above ?

Looking at your tasks in progress (75) none of them are running the optimised app. After copying the 2 files into the project folder did you stop and restart Boinc Manager ?

PDW · 1 Nov 2015 at 20:49

Well that's strange, they didn't show as being on an 'Anonymous platform' but, yes you are running an optimised app and have valid results now

I'm going by TaskMan details:

Oh, it's not? Yes, I stopped and restarted it. Give it another stop and restart just in case.

And was I meant to place those two files in this folder?
C:\ProgramData\BOINC\projects\denis.usj.es_denisathome

PDW · 1 Nov 2015 at 21:16

FMTopfan, as post above your's, sorry, false alarm, you are running fine

My first reaction is to second Andy's recommendation

Have found references to:
/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/Shared/BOINC Data/slots/

Other than that, are apples (rotten or otherwise) able to do a search for all files/folders with 'denis' in the name ?

Yes but cant find a damn thing, must be hiding it to pertekt me from meself

Does anyone here use gridcoin? Is it worth signing up for it?

ozaudio · 2 Nov 2015 at 09:23

I see Bombay added more cores

You have to crunch for the Gridcoin team to get them, I'm not sure what they're worth, I know they aren't on the major exchanges, or at least they weren't.

Cool, our production now is about the same as Sic's, we just need to tip the balance. Have you spoken to Ba recently? I remember you saying he was taking a break.

Ah, ok, just saw it advertised every time i go to the boinc stats site, got curious

hanluc · 2 Nov 2015 at 10:58

I've messaged Ba anyway, and Phil, no harm in asking.

BaBa · 2 Nov 2015 at 16:17

Hi guys

Ozaudio and Hanluc have sent me a few messages on this one what do I need to know?
Sorry not responded just coming off the back of a whole load of night shifts.

I have put an SR-2 my 16 core media ctr and the big rig on this hope it helps.

Change the stock applications for optimised ones, they run much quicker.

Code:

win: http://www.boincunited.org/opt_apps/denis/denis_1.05_x86_64-windows__sse41_v3.zip

Code:

linux: http://www.boincunited.org/opt_apps/denis/denis_1.05_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu__sse41_v3.tar.bz2

You probably know this but win directory is: C:\ProgramData\BOINC\projects\denis.usj.es_denisathome .Linux I'm not sure.

Thanks so much for helping out!

BaBa · 2 Nov 2015 at 16:53

OK running the optimized app on the windows rigs will try and sort the linux rig later

currob · 2 Nov 2015 at 17:06

I'm sure you know but don't forget to exit and restart boinc after unzipping those 2 files

MGP · 2 Nov 2015 at 18:41

The clue to the Linux installation is here : http://denis.usj.es/denisathome/forum_thread.php?id=53&postid=498

Being a linux numpty I had all sorts of issues with the permissions and couldn't do the chown stuff necessary to write the files into the denis folder. But as I am using the [H]hard DC Appliance thingy fortunately that has a GUI I was able to copy stuff using nautilus. That may or may not make sense
