It looks like everything is coming back just fine with the new application versions, so I've started up a batch of fresh runs which will mean a lot of new workunits. Happy crunching! | |

What's the difference with old app?? same question here... The new one is built linking glibc 2.14 and that prevents WU from running on debian wheezy, while release 0.50 was running fine. TIA Andrea | |

What's the difference with old app?? That's really strange. I used the exact same VMs that I compiled the previous apps with, so there shouldn't be any difference there. Is this the 32-bit linux app? The new app is printing out additional information we need to perform some additional analysis of the results we're getting. We'll also be able to use it to update the DNA@Home progress pages with some additional visualizations so we can better track how well the searches are progressing. We're also whipping up some new data sets for runs that will be done on the mouse genome as opposed to the human genome (which the current data sets are from). | |

Travis, Any chance you could let me know what would be a good version of the GCC and G++ libraries to link? I can try and get an older compiler installed to link against. | |

Travis, So I'm currently compiling with gcc 4.8 (which is already quite old). I can't even get any of the gcc 3.x versions to work on the virtual machine... I'm not sure if there's going to be a good solution here as those versions of gcc are ancient, and I'm not sure if I'll even be able to get BOINC to compile with them (or my linux VM to even run them). | |

Any chance you could let me know what would be a good version of the GCC and G++ libraries to link? I can try and get an older compiler installed to link against. Not so easy to give a good guess; Debian, which is quite conservative on package upgrades, provides these: - current stable release (jessie, released in april 2015): gcc-4.9, glibc 2.19 - old stable release (wheezy, released in may 2013): gcc-4.7, glibc 2.13 - old old stable release (squeeze, released in february 2011): gcc-4.4, glibc 2.11 while these should be the packages in Ubuntu: - wily werewolf, released in october 2015: gcc-5.2, glibc 2.21 - trusty tahr, released in april 2014: gcc-4.8, glibc 2.19 - precise pangolin, release in april 2012:gcc-4.6, glibc 2.15 I took a look also at an old fedora 12 released in 2010: gcc-4.4, glibc 2.11 and a Centos 6.5 released in july 2011: gcc-4.4, glibc 2.12 (release versions taken from distribution repositories, any mistake is mine) That said, it's all up to you :) my 2c is that rel. 0.50 was working fine, or at least nobody complained on this forum, so the same settings would be fine. | |

I'll try and get a debian VM up and going and see if I can compile things with an older version of GCC. The current version is compiled with GCC 4.8, so I'm not quite sure how old I need to go. To be honest I don't remember what version 0.50 was compiled with because it was so long ago. | |

Hi Travis, | |

Hi Travis, I think you've gotten unlucky! Some take up to 3 hours (at least on my mac pro, which is pretty beefy). Due to how the project works I'm reluctant to send out too many DNA workunits at the same time, as new workunits are dependent on previous ones being returned - so if many are buffered up that's going to make work availability as a whole suffer. On a positive note I should have a load of subset sum workunits to fill in the gap out tonight. | |

I noticed the same thing. Some tasks take also 10-20 seconds to terminate and I receive 10-15 points. It would be nice to have longer tasks or more ones per core | |

It would be nice to have longer tasks or more ones per core Unfortunately we're doing different sized runs to test different parameters to the algorithm. So there's most likely going to be a mix for awhile. | |

So there's most likely going to be a mix for awhile. It would be nice if they could be all the same (and a longer size), but the science really doesn't allow it at the moment. Hopefully down the line we'll get there though! | |

I think that the bug that causes results to be different if the program is shut down and then started back up is still present. See http://csgrid.org/csg/workunit.php?wuid=4898825 for one work unit where my result at http://csgrid.org/csg/result.php?resultid=10285824 was marked as invalid because I was forced to shut down BOINC and then restart it in the middle of processing this work unit. | |

Is this project dead? It certainly looks like this... | |

looks like the whole side is dead! ~850 people ran SSS in the last 24 hours. That hardly qualifies as dead. http://csgrid.org/csg/server_status.php Of course you can always classify some tweets or watch some videos. I expect that eventually there might be an app for both of these but without a significant data set to compare against, probably not worth it. So if you want more apps to crunch, help out with the tweets and the videos. Travis has already said that DNA is waiting for some data sets. That was after school closed down for the summer and we're only September. Sometimes science doesn't run as fast as you'd like... http://csgrid.org/csg/forum_thread.php?id=2102&postid=6308 | |

~850 people ran SSS in the last 24 hours. That hardly qualifies as dead. That's not the issue here. I also feel as if this project is dead because: There is no update to anything here anymore - no development, no word, nothing. I asked for an update to the image reviews about a half year ago - counts and badges were announced but nothing happened since then... I have given up watching anything because of this. >:( ____________ Wildlife & SubsetSum Badges-creator ;-) Mod/Guru @ the german team BOINC@Heidelberg My BOINC-Stats / My Badges | |
