Re: HPF2 Off my list of Projects

The 5.06 / 5.07 version numbers belong to BOINC. Your 5.05.03 is UDAgent version. As soon as a new version is released, on the next WU you will be updated. That will cause an 'upgraded' Agent to receive a download multiple size of normal from 9 to 12mb for HPF2 e.g.

Re: HPF2 Off my list of Projects

Thanks. I just realized after being outside for a few that I had forgotten to mention I was using the UD agent. Jim

I don't generally pay too much attention to the Grid running in background. I was rather surprised to find that I haven't gotten ANY credit for any work since the middle of last month. I really don't care about the credit part, but I do care that the box is apparently doing nothing. Poof just quit all together, middle of June. I have UD 5.0.5.2 currently running at what my machine shows as 50% of CPU usage, being its a dual core processor, I guess that that core is running at 100%. As has been stated above, UD will go on about its marry way for hours and hours with no indication that anything is being achieved, save the proteome graphic goes flipping around in its window, and progress stays at 0.0%

Any suggestion as to how to boot this puppy in the butt and get it actually doing something again? I have stopped and started the UD app a couple times, I really can't tell if its just picking up where it left off or its going out and getting a new data set and starting over or just starting over with the current data set. How do I force a halt of the current data set and force a software update? I assume that there is a newer version out there but until I can kill the current data set, UD will not update to the latest version.

Any suggestion greatly appreciated

I was wondering if the next version of Phase 2 for the UD Agent would have a higher priority. In the past I have been able to run both the BOINC software and the UD Agent at the same time with no problems. Now it is one or the other. Thanks. Jim

Re: HPF2 Off my list of Projects

Hi jvsturm,

Actually, BOINC and UD will always be programmed to run at low priority so that people who use their computers for other tasks will not notice BOINC or UD. That will never change.

I believe what you are seeing is due to the fact that they throttled the UD agent back to 60% when they started HPF2. You can raise it back to 100% if you want. There are threads in the Member News section that describe how to do that.

Finally, running BOINC and UD at the same time on 1 machine is not a "bad thing" but really there is no reason to do it. It won't get any more work done in the end. Why not just run BOINC alone?

Thanks. I'll look for the threads in the Member News section. Actually, the reason for running both has more to do with my son than anything else. When he gets on the 'net' he can suspend BOINC, leaving UD Agent running without any noticeable degraditation in performance and it is simple for him to do. Then when he's finished, he just turns BOINC back on. Pretty much a habit now and some work is still getting performed. I appreciate all the help you've given me. Jim

I found the link and ran it setting the UD Agent to 100%. I still have the same problem though. As soon as I start the BOINC software, the UD agent stops. I check and the CPDN climate program is running at 99% and the HPF2 is at 0%. Did I do something wrong? Jim

Re: HPF2 Off my list of Projects

Is the UD running at 95-99% before you start BOINC? If not then you might have one of those problem HPF2 work units. If it's at 95-99% before starting BOINC then you have a different problem. I just want to confirm that UD is running properly before BOINC starts so you get the right advice.

Also, please supply the following info for your computer:

operating system
CPU brand and model
CPU speed
RAM size
disk size, free disk space, page file (virtual memory) size
