NEW PROJECT - Pi Segment (not boinc)

[gamer007]

After several BOINC WUs crashed from switching OSes (Vista Ultimate and XP), I've decided to put my computer to this for the time being.

[JUST]

Pi Segment on my work machine was giving network errors, didn't want to upload or download, but I restarted it and everything was ok again. All my pending uploads went up and I stocked my cache again.

I found this problem before. That may contribute to a component the client use to connect the server and it always remember the IP resolved from pisegment.vicp.net. It's okay when server is connected. But when server is temporarily down, this domain may refer to 127.0.0.1. If the client just connect the server in this time, it will remember the 127.0.0.1 and try to connect it forever
I have not found any options to force the client to resolve the domain so the client still suffer this problem.
Anyway, it will be handled after deployment for server will have a static IP.

I tried my AMD Athlon 1001 GHz on PI Segment. All went well but when the agent began crunch WIN XP reported “An unwanted failure”. I tried again but as soon the agent began calculate the same thing happened. I didn’t understand anything but then it went up for me the fact this computer doesn’t support SSE2 only MMX and 3DNOW!
I think it was the cause.

well, I forgot it. The current client have to use SSE or SSE2 instructions.

but since the SSE instructions is not used in critical section, I can replace them by general X86 instructions. I will add this to my to-do list.

We are #2!!

Everybody take cover! There's a hurricane "Terry" going up the charts at an amazing speed!
I think not even Snoopy is safe from this one! :P

Congrats everyone on becoming #2!!!

My help might come to an end in about 24 hours. You have to love this St. Louis weather, over 70 degrees here today and an ice storm predicted for tomorrow. Ice is the thing that will stop my isp since it's wireless and the antenna is prone to fall off the grain elevator with the weight gain. Of course the tornado that took out their tower last spring wasn't easy to fix like this will be and they were only down for 3 days then.

Vaughan... or Jeff... could one of you (the one with most free time) create us a forum section for Pi Segment please?

How do we know when the work in our cache expires? The date is way off, unless I'm reading it wrong.

EDIT: I'm guessing the dates are 1 month off and the times are related to the computer's?

If Just should read this it would be very nice to have a slot on the "My Devices" page that would tell you the date and time that each machine last contacted the server. I run several machines and had one that for some unknown reason just quit uploading wu's. All I had to do was to go in there and hit "upload now" to fix it but I lost about 20 hours of processing on it. This is in no way the projects fault I should have checked the machine more often. But, it would be very nice to look on the my devices page and be able to tell at a glance that all machines are active.

Yeah, you're right. It's 1 month off. I'll correct it in next version.
The time is based on local time according to the computer settings.

Thank you for advice. I'll add it to my to-do list.

You said the machine failed to upload.
Could you tell me details? Or send me the LOG?
