Server Error : "Can't attach to Shared Memory"

There is work there but you can't get it.

Unfortunately, it also prevents reporting completed tasks. That's a problem on machines that have completed all their docking WUs and can be detached from docking once they report the completed tasks.

Today is April 30th. Does that mean that today is the last day work will be generated or that today is the first day that no work will be generated?

Message boards : Application Info : Update Charmm

When docking first started, there was a very good programmer who got charmm working under boinc. Once he got it working, he went to work for SGI and I don't think they have had anyone who does that type of programming attached to the project since then. Just people who can change the website. It's a shame he's not there anymore.

Does that machine really only have 512MB ram? Maybe it's swapping to disk.

Are you running the BOINC screensaver on that system, Steven? If so, maybe it's the D@H screensaver interacting with the CUDA code.

Message boards : Web site : Problem with stats being exported

Stats haven't been exported to the boinc stats sites for several days.

I just tried to read the stats manually and
http://docking.cis.udel.edu/stats/
gets a "403 Forbidden" error.

It looks like the stats haven't been exported for the last couple of days. Does some process need to be restarted on the server?

I've never seen anything like that from docking WU's, even when they fail... It sounds like an operating system generated message...

What version of windows are you using on your crunchers?

What version of BOINC client software?

Message boards : Web site : Cannot remove docking preferences for work

I decided to just use the default project preferences for all computers. When I go to the Docking project preferences page and try to remove the preferences for work, I just get taken to a blank page and the word Done appears in the browser status bar. The preferences aren't removed though. I've done this multiple times and also tried selecting "switch view" on the project preferences page and selecting remove under the work column with the same results - a blank page, "Done" in the status bar, and the work preferences still exist.

Note: These are the project preferences that I'm talking about, NOT the "Computing preferences" or "community preferences".

I tried the browser (firefox 3.06/Vista home premium 32 bit) view source on the blank page and there's no html at all.

I notice the result page url has something called tnow which seems to be a timestamp. I'm in the central timezone, if that makes a difference.
