Re: Error validating boinc results

Think the answer by Didactylos stands.

Is that client configured to run 2 processes in parallel or just 1 core? The order of #1 and #2 seems 'weird'.

(link corrected in earlier post)

Re: Error validating boinc results

two dualcores = 4 cores

how can i configure, that only 1 or 2 tasks are being in work at the same time?
i think 4 are too much for 256ram + shared ram (or something like that)

it's a linux client

Re: Error validating boinc results

BOINC 5.10 wil automatically manage the number of concurrent jobs based on memory permissions. Running HCC jobs should fit 4 in if you allowed 100%. If they don't, 1 or more will show "Waiting on Memory" in the Tasks (Aufgaben) window of BOINCMgr until one of the other running jobs finishes or makes space.

As for CPU cores, the limit can be set in the Advanced (Extras) menu >Preferences > Processor tab.

~~Ram is very cheap atm. An extra 256mb goes for 16 Euro and makes crunching a whole more efficient due reduced disk i/o. If you get it make sure it's got same specs~~ Ah yes, a hosting machine does not have that option.

Re: Error validating boinc results

DrSeltsam, I repeat: run BOINC on your own computer. Running it on a shared computer is a) ill advised, b) illegal and c) often doesn't work.

World Community Grid do not allow you to run BOINC on computers you do not own.

I asked my own hosting provider what they would say to someone trying to run BOINC on their shared hosting. This is what they said: "No". Unless, that is, you are prepared to pay for a dedicated machine to run your VPS on!
