Another great week for Team Stompage, another 2 teams feel the wrath of Team OcUK :cool:

Not that good a week on the individual front, a few people who run highly optimized hardware on Boinc cant justify downtime on here which is fair
enough, project glitches have not helped either, hopefully a better week ahead.

DavidCopeman - you need to email the project admin to find out why your total is not showing correctly on the team ladder.
I hope ShadowScotland is back from Costa del Slacker real soon !

Thanks for the news :)

I've gone back to folding for a little while, at least until I reach 1,000,000, which explains my slacking over the past few days :o
 
No worries, just come back ya hear :)

I know there is a couple of bits missing from the news stats but I was editing it on my laptop, which of course
has theSkynet running, plus my music and doing a lot of cut and paste work when the laptop had a bit of a fit
due to overheating and messed up some cell references.

I like ShadowScotland's spreadsheet though, quite interesting :)
 
Thanks for the news Halz:)

While ive taken hydra off this im bringing more cores online due to CPDN being missing in action:cool:
 
Haha, quality! :p

Halz, got hourly stat grabs? Hoping to whip past toxic in the next day or two if he has slack mode on :p

Edit: Sorry, forgot to add. Thanks for the efforts this week halz, slowly but surely moving up :p I need faster compute powah!
 
that's not far off the truth. Paint me blue and call me the cookie monster. Pc was all set up to crunch 24/7 but switched the router off. Muppet! This is the first i've had access to the net so will send someone round to switch it back on. Just hope the client haven't auto shutdown.

The news took me a lot longer than I thought this morning so not had time to do any other stats.
This way you will have to give it all you've got as you will be running blind :p

Might try and fit some in this evening.

Good to hear from you mate, make sure someone gets that router on fast, we need your output :)

Launched my 4th and final instance then, was running 3 all night. Running 4 now which is my maxed allowed on this CPU!

My RAM and CPU are gonna so hate on me. As my graphics card sits there, having a nice relaxing afternoon since it has nothing to do :p
 
Are you sure you are not biting off more than you can chew?

If you sneak round very quitely you just might get away with it....if you dont your screwed :p:D

I missed that one !!!!!.....GPU has nothing to do......what !!!!!!!!:eek::eek::eek:

GPU on Boinc, CPU on this......simplez :D

OMG ....you mean..........faints

Haha sounded dumb. I meant I was able to use both GPU and CPU power in BOINC, but how do i use the software to stop CPU processing and only GPU? Tried looking through the settings, but of course silly me never sees the obvious sometimes :p
 
On your Boinc account page, for the project you are running, go into 'preferences for this project'.

From there you can setup different profiles - Home, work, school etc.

Set one up with theSkynet in mind and dont select 'use cpu', save and exit.

You need to set a specific pc to that profile eg change profile to 'work' (dont change the default profile, use that to change back
when you want to go back to the way you were)

Edit: to change the PC's 'location' click on 'computers on this account' then click on 'details' on the pc in question, from there
change the profile to the one you prepared earlier.

After about half an hour, and assuming no cpu units are incomplete, update the project from within Boinc manager.

If I missed anything I am sure someone will point it out.

Edit 2: keep the message log on screen and if you did it successfully you should an entry like '19:00 Computers location changed to...'

Updates can take a while (maybe half an hour) to register on the boinc server so be patient.

For some reason I can only get one client connected; all other instances say that the server can't be found :confused:

Edit: Typical. As soon as I posted that it seems to be working again :p

Typical :rolleyes:

A lot of people are saying that clients are not connecting, never had any trouble myself.

I dont use the background app, work flow is not constant, can go for several hours
without any work then run for 4 hours flat out then go quite again.

I've not touched them for days and they seem to run fine :)
