Since CPDN WUs don't need to wait verification from two other hosts, credit is always going to be granted much more quickly. <a href="http://www.boinc.dk/index.php?page=user_statistics&project=cpdn&userid=355"><img border="0" height="80" src="http://355.cpdn.sig.boinc.dk?188"></a>

44) Questions and Answers : Windows : LHC has renamed my CP project (Message 4555) Posted 23 Sep 2004 by old_user355 Post: You are lucky... Update did nothing for me. I ended up resetting everything. :( <a href="http://www.boinc.dk/index.php?page=user_statistics&project=cpdn&userid=355"><img border="0" height="80" src="http://355.cpdn.sig.boinc.dk?188"></a>
45) Questions and Answers : Windows : LHC@Home hijack (Message 4553) Posted 23 Sep 2004 by old_user355 Post: You may want to reset. I had the same thing happen, and after things were repaired, (projects showing correctly) I tried to return a S@H WU and got an error that it couldn't recognize the app. version. Therefore it wasn't able to return the result. Rather than risking the remaining 100 hours on the WU I was processing only to find it would give me an error message like S@H, I reset. :( <a href="http://www.boinc.dk/index.php?page=user_statistics&project=cpdn&userid=355"><img border="0" height="80" src="http://355.cpdn.sig.boinc.dk?188"></a>
46) Questions and Answers : Windows : Yikes! Cross Project Contamination... (Message 4510) Posted 23 Sep 2004 by old_user355 Post: I just lost a WU a half dozen time steps from phase 3 due to some fun little cross project contamination of the client_state.xml file. First S@H thought it was Pirates. Looking in the client_state.xml, it looked like all that was wrong was the project name had changed. So I renamed it, and it looked like all was good until I tried to return the WU and the servers couldn't recognize the project app version, although the c_s.xml had the correct version number. So I restored the 4 day old backup I made of the c_s.xml file when I edited it to fix the CPDN WU error. Then I reset S@H and Pirates because they now didn't have the WUs they thought they had. (although I didn't have any from Pirates anyway) All seemed good, but within an hour, all six of the projects I'm attached to thought they were LHC! So I restored the file again, detached from LHC, and reset everything except CPDN because it obviously still had the WU it had before the SNAFU. Then I got thinking that if S@H wouldn't allow me to return a WU, CPDN probably wouldn't either, and I didn't want to risk wasting 100 or so more hours to finish the WU, so I reset CPDN as well. There are also several posts about this on the LHC and S@H boards. Here are a couple. http://lhcathome.cern.ch/forum_thread.php?id=392 http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=4656 I'm shocked that interaction like this can occur. Surely there should be some safeguards in place to protect projects from each other... <a href="http://www.boinc.dk/index.php?page=user_statistics&project=cpdn&userid=355"><img border="0" height="80" src="http://355.cpdn.sig.boinc.dk?188"></a>

(Message 4471) Posted 22 Sep 2004 by old_user355 Post: > i detached and reattached. seems to work now, even if i don't know what made > the difference to my tries before. That's good. :) Resetting should have accomplished the same thing without generating another host ID.
48) Questions and Answers : Windows : Graphics causes blue screen on Dell Latitude C600 w/ATI graphics (Message 4470) Posted 22 Sep 2004 by old_user355 Post: The screensaver seems to not like ATI cards for some reason. It doesn't work on my ATI card, or on two or three others with ATIs that I've read about here on the forum. They don't seem too concerned about fixing it, and the pat answer you will receive is that your card must be OpenGL capable. There is a test you can do <a href="http://www.realtech-vr.com/glview/">glview</a>, that will check out your system. Mine is 99% OpenGL compliant. The only "problem" reported is that it has no 8bit palette texture support, so performance will suffer on old applications. I very highly doubt the screensaver is using an 8bit palette. Not to mention that both the S@H and LHC graphics utilize OpenGL, and they work just fine. So it must be something specific to ATIs? <a href="http://www.boinc.dk/index.php?page=user_statistics&project=cpdn&userid=355"><img border="0" height="80" src="http://355.cpdn.sig.boinc.dk?188"></a>

(CPDN project appliction) If you click the model download link, the version of BOINC is 4.09. 4.09 works just fine with CPDN, you are getting download errors for some reason.

53) Questions and Answers : Wish list : Will Climate Prediction Preempt Seti Past deadline? (Message 4327) Posted 18 Sep 2004 by old_user355 Post: The problem isn't CPDN, it's BOINC. BOINC is what decides to preempt, not the project. So CPDN isn't wasting your time on other projects. Yes, it's known that the early 4.xx releases have the astonishing ability to blow past deadlines. As uk_nick suggested, you could try BOINC 4.09, but I haven't read anywhere whether this issue has been fixed or not. <a href="http://www.boinc.dk/index.php?page=user_statistics&project=cpdn&userid=355"><img border="0" height="80" src="http://355.cpdn.sig.boinc.dk?188"></a>
