Message boards : Number crunching : Docking doesnt skip image verification!?

I'm using GPRS/UMTS Internet connection and set BOINC to skip image verification

Docking obviously ignores this setting, so every download fails!

Docking will be our Project of the month, would be great to have this fixed quickly! Or is there another reason??

Cheers!

Thanx Conan for the info.

I'd like to see this fixed, though... I checked all my 30 projects and the average granted credit for my AMD X2 4800+ @ 2.85GHz is 16 credits per hour per core (700 per day per host).

Its a pity not all projects use the same credits system. Comparison of different projects is simply impossible :(

But all this Check-pointing also has an adverse affect on the BOINC.exe too, it constantly shows anywheres fron 4% up to 17% CPU usage in the TaskManger. In fact I can't even get 1 PC to run right because the BOINC.exe is using 23% to 25% of the CPU (Q6600 Quad Core). The BOINC Manager will just Lock up for seconds at a time if I try to use any of the Tabs.

I've UnInstalled the BOINC Client several times & tried different Versions of the Client, all with the same results. The only way I got the manager to not use up to 25% of the CPU on that PC was to create a new Directory and install BOINC there, it still uses the normal amount of the CPU but no more than the rest of my PC's at least.


Just checked that and its true. While crunching Docking, BOINC.exe uses 3-4% CPU constantly - which it doesnt do while crunching WCG, Rosetta or Einstein, for example.

After having finished my first dockings, I was shocked by the amount of Granted Credits. For a 4400 second wu, it claims appr. 20 credits (16 per hour), but grants 49.5 (40 per hour per core)...

Whats the reason for this?

Hi,

I just crunched my first Docking wu's and I was a bit concerned by the checkpointing every second...

But according to SpeedFan, the continous checkpointing doesnt do much harm to the harddisk (means, the temperature didnt increase - which it does then I convert a videofile for example...).

But still: Isnt it possible to somehow collect the data in RAM first and then write it to the harddisc every minute or every 10 minutes? - Dont know whats more stressful, though: Writing 100bytes every second or 6 KBytes every minute (60KBytes every 10 minutes)?
