Latest boinc version thread

[D_A]

I'd split the difference and go to 6.2.19.

[Sunfire]

is 6.4.5 good replacement for 5.10.45 at 32bit system? should i change the 5.10.45?

I never had any problem with it (Vista Ultimate SP1 x86), worked fine until a newer version came out.

[SiGfever]

What are the advantages if any of moving from 5.10.45 x64 (which has been a flawless performer) to the newer versions?

[123bob]

The CUDA support of 6.4.5 is about the only reason I know of. So far, I have not found a way to take advantage of it yet. For those running old cards or headless, I see no advantage to running 6.4.5. I'm still running 5.10.45 64 bit on most of the farm since they are very old graphic cards there. 5.10.45 has been bullet proof for me.

I'm having the odd issue of queuing WUs, as I reported on the other thread with high priority WUs, on the only machine running 6.4.5. I suspect this may be due to 6.4.5. I won't propagate it to any other machines until I know what's up with that...

Regards,
Bob

Mine has not downloaded "High Priority WUs" lately.

Does your work queue look about normal?

Yes, it is downloading the appropriate amount of days now.

just installed v6.4.5 win32
i have a couple of qustions

1. i just have 4 active WUs and don't get anyone new for pending, what's wrong?
2. and how to switch from high priority to normal



as u can see in shot, 3 WUs have high priority and 1 is normal

[Martijn]

You will get new WUs as soon as one is nearly finished or as soon as it has finished. I've also got it from time to time.

[illidan]

yea, but i have them in previous version and now they are gone

[illidan]

one WU is done and gone for reporting, three are crunching but no new ones

1/15/2009 4:01:47 PM|World Community Grid|Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks

[illidan]

still no new WUs



what could be wrong?



edit: i've just detached GPUGrid Project and recieved 2 WUs from WCG

Check your client preferences. The (retarded) defaults are to connect every 4 days and ask for 1 day's worth of work. Make sure you're connecting at least daily and asking for at least a day's worth of work. Then make sure your network activity isn't restricted somehow, either in the "activity" menu or in your preferences.

[illidan]

this is how it's set



i get WU at the same moment that there is one finished. always there are 4 active WUs
but in 5.10.45 i have a lot more WUs , besides those 4 active that are waiting for crunching. now in tasks window i have only 4 WUs (those active ones)

[RAMMIE]

additional work buffer= extra cache,set appropriately.

CUDA for WCG? I'm on ATI so I didn't received that message.
BTW it is interesting.
