Re: New BETA test - July 29, 2014 [ Issues Thread ]


I will pass on the details about having cpu/os information in the stderr. I believe however it will be easier for just having it in the result page instead. Since that data is already collected by BOINC on a host level.

Thanks,
-Uplinger

Uplinger I am sure you have a valid reason for not including the information. I feel it will allow people like myself who wonders why the other person completed the task a lot faster than my host, information on the OS and CPU type would answer all those questions. Would it be possible to include it another way?
This is just my point of view on how I think this information would be helpful.

Unfortunately I did not get any tasks this round. I am hopeful I will get some in following rounds

All the best for people who are in the hunt to greater there beta badge

Graphics didn't work on Linux Mint but MCM graphics also don't work. A windows opens and almost instantly closes.

Re: New BETA test - July 29, 2014 [ Issues Thread ]

Edit: P.S. - Any sharable info on projected system requirements for the new project other than SSE2?


The initial memory requirements are going to be rather low. I would say less than 50MB. The bandwidth usage for this project may be large for runtime of a work unit. The work units we tested in this beta were small.

Remember this is just initial data and can change when we get closer to release.

Thanks,

Re: New BETA test - July 29, 2014 [ Issues Thread ]

I got five on my PC yesterday, and now they are finally close to start. I would like a way to be able to force start (or set priority on) a WU. Since I got these beta WUs yesterday I wanted to mark them and clock somewhere on a button saying that the selected WUs in the cache will be prioritized as soon as there is a free core (becaus another WU currently running has completed).

Anyway, will be interesting to see how these fare on an OC'd 3930K @ 4.3GHz and the data directory on a RAMDisk.

Re: New BETA test - July 29, 2014 [ Issues Thread ]

I find that if you suspend the other wu's that have not yet started on your rig then each time a wu completes a beta will take its place. unfortunately you do need to be watching quite closely for the last beta to start in order not to have idle cores. Using Boinctasks makes this somewhat easier.

That is what I do if I want a particular WU to be next wink

Re: New BETA test - July 29, 2014 [ Issues Thread ]

I just suspend all other tasks, including running ones, perhaps staggering the timing of the last few tasks so that not all downloaded Betas start all at once. Once the Betas are running, I then resume the suspended tasks. At least with BOINC 7.2.47, priority is then given to running tasks, so I find that the Betas finish before any waiting task actually runs again. This way, I don't need to watch for any idle cores. The LAIM option (Leave Applications In Memory) is best on for this to be efficient.

Or you can suspend all non-Beta WUs thereby letting the Betas start, and then immediately resume all suspended WUs. The Betas will continue running and no WUs will remain suspended. Your suspended WUs will revert back to the last checkpoint, but this is only a big deal if you are running CEP2.

Re: New BETA test - July 29, 2014 [ Issues Thread ]

I test by first turning LAIM off therefore I prefer to let the pre running other wu's complete. (especially CEP2) When there are greater numbers of betas I try both LAIM settings.
