It seems that I've left behind my linux troubles. No crash in the last 4 days, let's hope they hold.

In short I had to:
- Disable HPET
- Disable power saving features
- Disable Xserver (boot straight into terminal)

This has taught me that, regarding hardware, support is there or it isn't.

I know it's not stricly the distros' fault but that's the current state of affairs.

Is anyone testing the new Android BETA WU's?

Announcement: https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread_thread,35344

I can't use my phone because it's on it's last knees, but I managed to setup Android x86 through VM Player and all is working fine so far. Only downside so far is that for some reason I can only use 2 of the 4 CPU cores. Looking to see if I can find a solution to that. Takes roughly 1h30m per WU on a 1.8GHz i5 laptop.

I've found that heat and having a high enough amperage charger to be an issue. If I stick my phone in front of my computer fans, it'll keep it cool and have my 2A tablet charger on it, it'll crunch steady.

Working on keeping my tablet cool/charged enough to crunch right now since it stays home on the charger all day and night anyways. Doesn't help that I keep it in a case.

Edit: I'm quite happy with Battery Monitor Widget to keep an eye on temps, battery level, usage, etc. It graphs everything out rather nicely.

Well guys I may be back at it soon. my new CPU will be here today to further test the board I got from norton.

If that board doesn't work out I may have something else available soon- drop me a PM later today if that board continues to be a problem

Is it just me, or did Free-DC sort of stuck?

Hmm. I wouldn't want to crunch on my Android device, as it's slow and the battery life is bad as-is, but from a theoretical perspective it's interesting. I do think it would be better if they'd focus on GPU work instead.

Gpu's have so much mostly untapped compute potential. Bitcoin shows that easily. Is it really that hard to code for? I would think they would be focusing on gpu work since it has 10X the output.

Both CPUs and GPUs have their strengths. Some of the tasks are better suited towards a general purpose CPU than specialized GPUs, more so if the task at hand doesn't benefit from the massive amount of parallelism a GPU provides.

On another note, I am officially out of WCG works in 1 minute :eek:

Peter1986C · Jul 13, 2013

Did you opt-in for CEP2 and beta testing? I am still getting work, although I am at my parents' so less resources are spent for WCG (I am running WCG on my 2nd system with only on one core enabled; and turn the computer off when I go to sleep). This seems to influence the chance to get without work kind of drastically.
Did you consider donating resources to POEM@home? It supports CPU and GPU computing.
BTW, here is a list of (BOINC) DC projects; in my sig you find those I am involved in.

I was signed up for Beta testing, but I did not meet the bandwidth req for CEP2 (IIRC). I just checked my projects and for some reason it had me opted out of FightAIDS@Home. Updated and now have some WUs. Wouldn't have found out without your post, thanks!

After some tweaking recently, I ended up running almost exclusively CEP2. I have FAAH enabled, too, but it hardly pulls any of its WUs. And alas, since I run almost only CEP2, my PPD plummeted.
I shall miss pie a lot...

Give it a few days... there's often a lag between changes when looking at ppd

Do you have a larger backlog of pending validations/pending verifications? It may take longer for CEP2 to clear "pending" status....

librin.so.1 · Jul 13, 2013

No, it settled down real quick and is now working like a stable pipeline.

I started this morning on my IVIEW 760TPC (Allwinner A10 Cortex A8 single core 1GHz w/ Android 4.0.3) and my ASUS Nexus 7 (Tegra 3 quad core Cortex A9 1.2GHz). So far, the IVIEW tablet takes 16 hours to do a Say No to Schistosoma WU, and the Nexus 7 does 4 WUs simultaneously and takes about 2-3 hours to complete each WU. Looks like the Nexus 7 should get around 250 PPD or so (amazing for around 10-15w), and the IVIEW is pretty much a worthless POS, but I'm running it anyway.

What tweaking? I wonder why it now mostly pulls CEP2.

Are you guys still having trouble getting wu's. I never ran out myself. I am getting new ones too.

Hey, I'd love that. I have quite a bit to fire up again when drawing 2500w is no longer a problem

Nearly out of work? Have you not gotten any more yet?

250PPD isn't bad--I get about 350PPD from my dual-core 1.6GHz Atom. Power usage for that is about 25w at the wall.

Setting max CEP2 WUs to "Unlimited".
