1) Message boards : Number crunching : Can't get work (Message 283) Posted 18 Jul 2020 by Michael H.W. Weber Post: My NVIDIA 750Ti also does not get any tasks although the server status reports many available. Well, it seems the apps are changing and the one running right now requires a more recent GPU driver than what I currently have installed on my Linux box... Michael.

3) Message boards : News : Kaktwoos 2.03 and Badges! (Message 253) Posted 11 Jul 2020 by Michael H.W. Weber Post: https://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/BadgeDoc The BOINC server code supports badges for the top 1%, 5%, and 25% of recent average credit (RAC). They are represented by gold, silver, and bronze medal images, respectively, and are assigned to both users and teams. Ok, so the bages are non-static? Then forget it, lack of motivation... Michael.

5) Message boards : Number crunching : Minecraft NVIDIA GPU client engages on already occupied GPU (Message 139) Posted 1 Jul 2020 by Michael H.W. Weber Post: BOINC's documentation is very confusing and there are contradictions between the source code examples they reference, and what (the many) wikis say to do to implement integration properly. ...please report this to David Anderson such that other's won't stumble over the same issues in the future. Michael.
6) Message boards : Number crunching : Minecraft NVIDIA GPU client engages on already occupied GPU (Message 123) Posted 1 Jul 2020 by Michael H.W. Weber Post: I was baffled to find that the Minecraft@Home NVIDIA GPU client appears to add as a second task to the SAME NVIDIA GPU on which a GPUGRID distributed computing project task is already running. Please correct this as it might cause serious crashes (depending on the RAM requirements of the paired projects) and delays tasks. In this case, both tasks ran in parallel and I have aborted the Mincreaft one. Michael.
7) Message boards : Number crunching : Pausing tasks causes tast restart (Message 108) Posted 29 Jun 2020 by Michael H.W. Weber Post: When a GPU task is paused it is removed from the GPU memory. Without checkpointing it has to restart from the beginning. The "Leave in Memory" setting works only for CPU tasks. Thanks for the information. Michael.
8) Message boards : Number crunching : Pausing tasks causes tast restart (Message 103) Posted 29 Jun 2020 by Michael H.W. Weber Post: It is not about checkpointing. When a task is paused, I so far assumed it is just halted and kept in memory. The experience I described above, however, suggests that Minecraft discards the entire data after a certain period of time? Which I found baffling. ;-) Michael.
9) Message boards : Number crunching : Pausing tasks causes tast restart (Message 87) Posted 28 Jun 2020 by Michael H.W. Weber Post: So far, I processed only one task: When initially started yesterday on my NVIDIA GTX1060, I paused computation after about 10 min of computation. When I returned to my machine, run time was set back to zero and upon resuming, the GPU task started from scratch. At least it completed successfully after around 4 hrs and was validated. I have never seen such behaviour before (I am participating 24/7 in distributed computing projects since 2001). Michael.
