1) Message boards : General discussion : Account information page needs fixing (Message 156060)
Posted 342 days ago by walliProject donor
Looking at the official code, this has already been fixed a few years ago: https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/commit/1e0631dc87c23ac3c55d4ff869ec942839fbc985 (at least for user urls, team urls still seem to be broken, see e.g.: https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/blob/master/html/inc/team.inc#L101 (more files are involved)).

Merging new code/fixes/features into existing project servers is always difficult and can often cause more trouble than being worth the hassle. Especially if you highly customized the code for your project.

Should be fixed now. If you find any other places regarding this bug, please let me know.

There seems to be a bug in the code.

The "https://www.seti-germany.de" is the result of having "https://www.seti-germany.de" set as the url, but as a downside, it reads "http://https://www.seti-germany.de" on my personal account page. The code checks if the url starts with "http" and adds "http://" as prefix if it's not found.

I'll take a look at it later. Thanks for the info :).

I would really like to see how they perform at manual sieving :).

6) Message boards : Sieving : "Your in-progress reservations" shows only 5 reservations (Message 120376)
Posted 1728 days ago by walliProject donor
It looks great, thank you :).

What about an additional line to sum up all in-progress reservations like:

Your in-progress GFN20 reservations 2018-09-01: 146450P-146850P (400P) is in progress. 2018-09-04: 147600P-148000P (400P) is in progress. 2018-09-04: 148000P-148400P (400P) is in progress. ... In Total: 11 reservations (4.400P)


?

I would appreciate it (maybe only shown if #reservations>=3 ...?).

Another thing: In my opinion the time that was "needed" for the last 5 "completed" reservations is not very useful, at least not to me, because I don't start crunching right after making my reservations and I also don't make uploads in time when the computations are finished. And since it doesn't reflect the "real computation time", it's kind of worthless for me to know. I have my own tables here where I do my calculations, e.g. which machine with which cpu(s)/gpu(s) needs how many hours for completing X many Ps/Gs of GFN-Y/PPS/FPS... I also wrote some kind of egg-timer for myself to know when I have to make new reservations depending on my spare time (to avoid idle times on my cpu(s)/gpu(s)). It looks like:

https://img1.picload.org/image/dliwpoor/pg-msm.png

Very basic things like remaining hours, minutes, some label like the computer name (and/or which project or whatever) and a button to turning the timer on or off. It does a fairly good job :).

So, is this info (about the recent completed reservations) really interesting?

If the result files would contain timecodes about the start and finish of a computation, and timestamps for whenever the computation was interrupted, then... yeah, that would be cool :).

Hi,

when I want to make a new reservation, the page gives me some info on "Your recent completed reservations" and "Your in-progress reservations", but the latter one only shows my latest 5 reservations, not all current reservations (of the same GFN category of course; e.g. I have 11 open reservations @GFN20 at the moment). Is this intended?

Thank you very much for making this clear because I wasn't sure about the behaviour. I could have done more testing, yes... but... ^^

Hi,

I ran a short test on FPS (range 8844-8845G) with the CPU and GPU app, but my GPU returned more results:

fsievecl64.exe:

I'm not into the topic, so my question is: Is it ok that the CPU app "potentially" removes less candidates (and sometimes even 0) than the OpenCL app?

I ask because my CPU took about 3 hours for 1G whereas my GPU crunched a little under an hour for the same range.

Max reservations are currently at:

GFN17: 200P
GFN18: 200P
GFN19: 400P
GFN20: 200P
GFN21: 400P
GFN22: 400P

I'm not sure about GFN17/18, but at least you could bump GFN20 to 400P.
