1) Message boards : Cafe : I promise I haven't left! (Message 2329) Posted 24 Oct 2024 by danwat1234 Post: I know my participations has dropped from #1 to basically nothing but it entirely is the result of the algorithm! I have Sidock and World Community Grid both set to 50% work unit ratio for years but ever since the large Covid work units concluded, the work sent has drastically came down. I'm not leaving!
2) Message boards : News : Target # 23: Ebola GP1 (Message 2309) Posted 1 Sep 2024 by danwat1234 Post: what is the name of #23 executable and upcoming #24 so i can add to my Process Lasso config x64 windows?
3) Message boards : News : Target # 22: corona_RdRp_v2 (Message 2281) Posted 8 Jul 2024 by danwat1234 Post: 91% complete! Is there another focus of work units expected to be ready when this approaches completion or do we expect some idle time? Thank you

5) Message boards : News : Project status: December 2023 (Message 2260) Posted 9 May 2024 by danwat1234 Post: Heads up, prepare for a surge of completed work units at beginning of May 12th due to https://linustechtips.com/topic/1567835-boinc-pentathlon-2024/ People stocking up on completed work units to get a jump start. Cheers Edit: .. if the Steeplechase portion of the Pentathlon doesn't get changed from Sidock ☹️ https://linustechtips.com/topic/1567835-boinc-pentathlon-2024/?do=findComment&comment=16403383

7) Message boards : News : Changes in task scheduling and monitoring mechanism (Message 2142) Posted 19 Nov 2023 by danwat1234 Post: Ah so that's why my ratio of compute for SiDock has been diverting compute from WCG. It used to be perhaps 33% going to Sidock, now maybe 45%, all points being equal.
8) Message boards : News : Target # 22: corona_RdRp_v2 (Message 2106) Posted 8 Aug 2023 by danwat1234 Post: I imagine if SiDock could inspire Russian University and College IT departments to crunch for the cause we can see acceleration!

10) Message boards : News : СmDock "long" and "short" tasks applications (Message 1984) Posted 7 Feb 2023 by danwat1234 Post: Can confirm "2.00" jobs were often/always using CPU cycles indefinitely, no problem with 2.02 I deleted all 2.00 jobs from all my queues that seems to be the solution to all trouble.
11) Message boards : News : Merry Christmas! (Message 1780) Posted 4 Jan 2023 by danwat1234 Post: Will the the RAM requirement for the new version of cmdock be much higher? BOINC should automatically update the executable?
12) Message boards : News : Temporarily work unavailabilities (Message 1759) Posted 16 Nov 2022 by danwat1234 Post: It seems to me that this is not, or more than a network bandwidth issue step. I don't think work unit throughput comes close to equaling previous network utilization.
13) Message boards : News : Temporarily work unavailabilities (Message 1744) Posted 28 Oct 2022 by danwat1234 Post: zip is an old school format! .7z or other modern algorithms would probably provide far better compression ratio. You already use it, for instance on CmDock_v0.1.4_2.1_windows_x86_64.zip , 4.85MB in size. If i extract and place contents in a .7z with max compression, it is 3MB and database-type files should see an improvement too. Software solution is probably a lot easier than dealing with network hardware woes
14) Message boards : News : Temporarily work unavailabilities (Message 1740) Posted 27 Oct 2022 by danwat1234 Post: Is compression maximized already or would packing the outgoing work unit and incoming result in a 7z archive in max compression mode result in noticeable smaller transfer size? I have no idea if it's feasible without a lot coding to automate reliably but it may be worth a look
15) Questions and Answers : Windows : Will not queue more than about 4 work units per core despite set for 10 days of work (Message 1711) Posted 20 Aug 2022 by danwat1234 Post: I should note that even though you have a server side limit of work units sent for a given estimate computational power of a computer, that does not mean you will have a same-day turnaround. If the user has multiple projects going they could have a significant queue to crunch through before resuming SiDock, depending on BOINC % resource allocation settings and luck. But the proof is in the pudding, err Project Status work unit group completions.
16) Questions and Answers : Windows : Will not queue more than about 4 work units per core despite set for 10 days of work (Message 1710) Posted 20 Aug 2022 by danwat1234 Post: Thank you i see what you mean. Many of the work unit groups can be crunched by the community in a week or so I have noticed and you run a tight ship. One group gets to about 98% and then the next group begins to have results sent in and within a few days later the first group is completed no gaps in completion. Enabling larger queues would increase server load by computers not using as large % of the work units given to them 4 whatever reason and more needing to reissued. Is it possible to get a list of future groups to be crunched on the site? Is there an 'end' to this stage of research where the community has completed all work 4 Covid?

The file does not seem to exist anywhere so I gather I create the file with only that tag within the SiDock directory. Correct format? I need because i am waiting on some WIFI sticks and would like to lessen the frequency of walking to the internet-less machines with a WIFI stick. cc_config.xml <cc_config> <options> <ncpus>15</ncpus> </options> </cc_config>

Could you say why that limit is in place when the deadline for work units is multiple days out?
19) Questions and Answers : Windows : Will not queue more than about 4 work units per core despite set for 10 days of work (Message 1703) Posted 17 Aug 2022 by danwat1234 Post: Seriously in all my 50+ machines, if i unplug a WIFI stick, it stops crunching within 3 hours despite 10 days 10 days set locally and also server side.
20) Questions and Answers : Windows : Project fills CPU use to 100% although "Use at most xx% of CPU time" is set (Message 1702) Posted 16 Aug 2022 by danwat1234 Post: The project processes should be running in low priority so i don't know why it would cause your Intel Alder lake system to bog down. You indicated temperature is not a problem that it is not throttling so i stumped. Could be new architecture issues still needing to be patched. I have this project running on 2nd gen thru 8th gen Intels using all cores 100% of the time and they all stay very responsive.
