Shortest processing time ever
(Message 3171)
Posted 16 May 2023 by Conan Depends on computer a bit as well. My AMD Ryzen 9 5900X using all cores and threads (24) takes just under 2 hours running Linux Fedora 37. Same computer running Windows 10 takes 10 minutes longer at 2 hours 9 minutes. My newer Ryzen 9 7900X running ECO mode (105W) with all cores and threads (24) running takes 1 hour. Conan |

Project Communication Failed
(Message 2733)
Posted 22 Jun 2022 by Conan Well all has come good when VPN was turned off in the Virus Protection. Why this made a difference I have no idea as no other project was affected by this setting. Only 64 work units came back so either I have lost all the others in transfer or never got them in the first place (around 270 work units) and are ghost units. Conan |

Project Communication Failed
(Message 2730)
Posted 22 Jun 2022 by Conan I have a computer that has currently, 334 work units that I am unable to upload to the project server. Downloaded over a couple of days (17th to 19th) and now all completed. Last successful file upload was on the 19th (just the one WU) and none since. "Project Communication failed - attempting access to reference site" "Internet OK - Project severs maybe temporarily down" This has been ongoing for days now and all work units will time out in 2 days so if I can get this fixed it would be great. Other projects on that computer are not having the issue. Hitting "Update" on the project contacts the server OK, but hitting "Retry" from BOINC Transfers does not get through to the server. Conan |

Posted 8 Jan 2019 by Conan Well Beyond, it has passed 252 Hours and is still running and still at 73.00%. Well that reasoning is pretty good but alas it is also out, as well as my 270 hours (with no reasoning). It has now passed 277 hours but has moved to 83.5% so we have progress. Maybe 200 hours?

Posted 7 Jan 2019 by Conan Conan, looks like you're running this WU: WU=17810575 Well Beyond, it has passed 252 Hours and is still running and still at 73.00%. Care for another guess? Conan |

Posted 7 Jan 2019 by Conan Conan, looks like you're running this WU: WU=17810575 It is now at 232 hours, still at 73.00%, I will have a go at 270 hours as my computers are not the quickest. Conan |

Posted 5 Jan 2019 by Conan Well I guess then that my 141 hours and stuck at 73% for over 2 days, has a way to go. Beyond, yes that is the one. It has passed 200 hours now still at 73% and last checkpoint was at 24 hours. But still running and using a full core so we will see how it goes, must finish soon? Conan |

Posted 3 Jan 2019 by Conan Thanks for the update. 148368_Hs_TCGA-KLF6_wu-6_1543433660987 above finished this morning and validated. I'm aborting 148366_Hs_TCGA-BRCA2_wu-136_1543431411382 at 619 hours (still at 12%). I'd bet this has to be a record run time for a WU: Well I guess then that my 141 hours and stuck at 73% for over 2 days, has a way to go. Still taking up a full core so letting it run. Would be nice to get many, many thousands of credit for it (ha, ha). Conan |

New application (v 0.10)
(Message 758)
Posted 14 Jan 2017 by Conan This did cause a small issue for me when BOINC thought that the new work units would only take 29 minutes but they actually run for 3 hours (they used to run for up to 6 hours (hyper-threading is on)). So I had well over 100 wu download, still have 50 odd to go but should make it. Conan |

Wish List :
Team
(Message 735)
Posted 8 Jan 2017 by Conan Yes I can't really see what the problem is. I also am the founder of a team and very often I join a project before they get round to doing the BOINC team import thing, if they do at all. So I often just make the team when I make my account as I want my output to all go to my team. It is quick and easy to do. I don't wait for the team import, it may or may not happen. If I want to contribute toa project I don't wait around for the team import before I contribute. Conan |

Posted 9 Jun 2016 by Conan G'Day Valterc, Just wondering if you have found some time to work on the Badge system yet? Keep up the good work on a very well run project. Conan |

Credit badges
(Message 525)
Posted 25 Nov 2015 by Conan I was thinking about this and it seems that the dots might just add an extra level of complexity to the creation of the badge. For example with 3 dot system, get Bronze badge at 10,000 with no dots at 25,000 retain Bronze badge but add a red dot at 50,000 retain Bronze badge retain red dot add another red dot at 75,000 retain Bronze badge retain 2 red dots, add another red dot That is 4 levels of Bronze and the code to go with it. This is then repeated for Silver, Gold an upwards, creating lots of levels. I was thinking that it would be easier to not use the dots at all (which will reduce the badge size) and just have one extra level for each badge but change the clour ot the DNA strand instead of adding dots. So Bronze gained at 10,000 with the red DNA strand. At 50,000 change the DNA strand to white (for example) Silver gained at 100,000 with the red DNA strand At 250,000 change the DNA strand white Gold gained at 500,000 with the red DNA At 750,000 change the DNA strand to White Amethyst gained at 1,000,000 with the red DNA At 2,500,000 change the DNA strand to white Sapphire gained at 5,000,000 with the red DNA At 7,500,000 change the DNA strand to white Emerald gained at 10,000,000 with the red DNA At 15,000,000 change the DNA strand to white. This is my suggestion and the colours can be changed around so they are easy to see. Just another possibility. Conan |
