Priority low, uneven sharing?

[meckano]

Hi,
Just wondering if someone has found the fix.

I figure that Eon's client doesn't share, even though it is low priority, because it has alot of built in non-low routines?!?

tks.

[Empty_5oul]

some programs are not good for sharing, try in task manager setting it to low priority as well as in the client. i cant say i have ank knowledge of eon so cant really help but im sure Vaughan will when he is online.

I'm trying the program-background and program system cache options(winxp)
I set for system-cache and rebooted and they play well again, but something may change, probably/usually when Boinc project focus changes. ( climate prediction uses big cache )
I still believe that the background option will do something permanent if anything simple is to work.

Idea from this link:

- my Win32PrioritySeparation was still at 2 after system-cache change.

[Empty_5oul]

its usually best just to run 1 prooject at a time, very few work well together and even then 1 tends to hog the resources in a 70:30 split or something similar

I refer you to K.D.Lang's song Constant Craving. :)

I cannot get the new eOn client to work yet. I completed 1 task using the Windows client from a CMD line. Seemed pretty quick, about 3 or 4 minutes. I saw it send and receive a new task then I stopped. Today there is no increment in the official stats. (Still no team stats either). I checked Bok's stats - I went down several hundred tasks - "not happy Jan!" (AMDave will understand this phrase).

I use Igor Arsensin's TaskInfo to monitor thread priorities.

I just started client again, and I got Dimer going.
try again maybe?
I've been getting Dimer to work all day as needed.
hmmm, more info please.

Assuming you got the latest client from texas server?
http://eon.cm.utexas.edu/

I 've noticed stats are yuck slow, but learning to proxy-server my machine right now, woohoo, Boinc on LAN'ed computers.
- So, I'm in no hurry.

[meckano]

just got another for Dimer.
Yes, they are way fast to crunch. (win xp 3200+)

[meckano]

edit add:
Since my change to system-cache priority (win xp) they have been playing very well together. Will post any fowl <---- hehe play here if I catch one plucking the others feathers.

:thumbleft:

[vaughan]

About 3 minutes each dimer on an xp3200+ sounds right. Are you getting your stats updated correctly on the Texas site? How about on Bok's site?

[meckano]

I get my stats here:
http://stats.free-dc.org/new/teamstats.php?proj=eon&team=AMD+Users
- and it has in upper right corner when it was last updated.

And WOW, I finally show on this page, how nice.
Guess it's working:
http://eon.cm.utexas.edu/statistics.php

YIM me if you want to chat, I need it tested. tks. :)

[jlangner]

Did they change stats? I haven't run in a while, but I was in 3rd place on team and name not on there now?

http://stats.free-dc.org/new/teamstats.php?proj=eon&team=AMD+Users

[jlangner]

Well logged into my account and said I was not in a group - weird. I put back to AMDUsers. Will my stats go back with me?

[jlangner]

Vaughn why does it have you -4,339 today!
meckano - your stats haven't shown up on team page yet either?

[meckano]

That link deos not update often, u-r corner date, but I did notice one day when Vaughan did 1,4xx units.
I disappeared from stats after the move was done, requiring the install of the new client: http://eon.cm.utexas.edu/
- When the date changes, page updates, I should be there.
-- Yes, I had to rejoin AMD team too. If I remember correctly.

My Eon client is not playing fair with Seti on Boinc so will try the other change. Will keep you posted.

[LisaD]

I don't understand eOn stats. I lost 4,339 for no reason. Weird. I logged in at the Texas Uni site and it refused my password. I got it emailed to me, logged in (worked this time) and changed it to what i had. Then in the next email from the site it was TOTALLY different. I have emailed Graeme several times and had NO REPLY so I'm avoiding this project until he fixes the stats, replies to my emails and gets TEAM STATS working again.

Sorry, that was me logged in on Lisa's computer.

Something is seriously wrong with eOn. Maybe Graeme can fix it next week.

[meckano]

Well you show on this page:
http://eon.cm.utexas.edu/statistics.php

38 vaughan 454 18530

and it updated twice for me today.

[jlangner]

Is there a team stats page that updates regularly. The other link for DC Stats hasn't been updated in 5 days.

[jlangner]

Vaughn don't use password in email after you change. It looks encrypted to me. lol. Mine did same as well but password I changed to still worked. As far as your lost points, since DC stats haven't updated in 5 days, can't tell if - points were re-added?

[meckano]

Eon's stats update.
http://eon.cm.utexas.edu/statistics.php

[jlangner]

Have you seen a "Team" one? That is up to date.

[meckano]

Now you're just trying to make me laugh LOLOLOLOL

I think the problem is from the move Eon made, links probably have to be reset.

[jlangner]

Woohoo, I did move up to 194. lol.

[vaughan]

It also shows me as 860 vaughan 323 1 which would be the 1 task I did on the new windows client,

I'll wait a little longer for things to settle down again at eOn.



Well you show on this page:
http://eon.cm.utexas.edu/statistics.php

38 vaughan 454 18530

and it updated twice for me today.

[meckano]

The only reason I don't show twice is because I never showed during the original. Started too late.

EXTRA EXTRA, READ ALL ABOUT, WASTING CRUNCH TIME IS A PUNISHABLE OFFENCE !!!

lol
