Yoyo@home
Hi,
some clarification. On yoyo@home are 2 application running. You can choose in the preferences which you want. As default you get work for both. You see in the wu name which it is.
ogr_)
progress indicator every 12,5%. On of such progress step can take up to 7h. But the wu has checkpoints every 15min. So if you restart only the progress indicator restarts at the 12,5% level where it was before. The wu itself continues on the checkpoint. The estimated runtime of the wu is false and only exists because Boinc needs it. But the runtime is not predictable.
evo_)
Estimated runtime is an rough but good enough estimation. Based on this estimation also the progress indicator is shown and updated every 30s. But since it is an estimation the wu can finish already at 40% or even at 200%. This wu has NO checkpoints. If you restart your computer it starts from the very beginning. But you can switch to other projects and suspend Boinc if you have in your settings suspend and hold application in memory. In this case it continues.

You must also get the extra on the OGR_ too.
Claimed 214.23, Granted 301.24.
Mind you that did take 09:46:23 on a AMD X2 6000+ (running @3212MHz)
Well working poop out, TSP would have to do 19 BF workunits to equal that 301 (or 304 credits).
And this system would take just under 6 hours to do that (worked out as 1 core running the app)
So although TSP gives 16 credits per BF_ workunit, on a X64 OS it crunches them heck of a fast (this system does them in about 17min 30 sec or less)
So in the grand scheme of "Total Boinc credits, for the team" TSP pays out quite a lot if your a x64 user.
However I'll stick with Yoyo, since we need dem credits
Anyone got an idea what Eric is crunching on since TSP is offline?
As It looks like he has some nice "toys" that would help on Yoyo

Keep getting told there is an off button, but I think those peeps are telling fibs!
(and grr Firefox spell checker is a bit naff, nice to know I spelt something wrong (he he it don't like the word Firefox), but err a suggestion of the correct word would be nice....

Works for me all the time. You sure you got the right extension?
Thanks for the 'heads-up' on this, yoyo! I've altered my preferences the exclude 'evo' WU's. The reason for this is that I'm a single core cruncher and need to turn both BOINC and my computer off sometimesyoyo wrote:Hi,

For some reason Norton has now decided YoYo is a backdoor trojan and deleted it from 2 of my pc's :( I assume it will do the rest of them when I allow a restartRam Raider wrote:If you're running McAfee Virus Scan, beware
This means the download fails as the file gets deleted immediately.VirusScan Enterprise: The file C:\Program Files\BOINC\projects\yoyo8.homedns.org_88_yoyo\crunch_1.01_windows_intelx86.exe is infected with Proxy-DistNet Trojan. The file was successfully deleted.(running VirusScan Enter 8.0 OAS)
Anybody else seen this problem?
I use Avast on my other PCs and that's OK.

Well it goes like this.
"Am I willing to reduce my computer security in order to run Yoyo"
answer NO!
Their loss not mine.

that was just about what i was thinkingSir Cracked of the Mind wrote:Well it goes like this.

yoyo makes a visit to this forum quite a few times, lets see if he has anything to say on this matter....

Can't say anything new to this. I include the original distributed.net binary without any change. Distributed.net guys knows that some virus scanner detects there client as trojan and contacted already these companies. Some of them removed dnet from the data file, some not.
I fully respect if you do not disable your virus scanner for the boinc project and slot folder and if you will not change your scanner.

Hang on a moment, Sir Cracked!Sir Cracked of the Mind wrote:You really know how to piss people off don't you Melter65, well screw you too jerk wad!
I'm off!
My answer was meant to be slightly tongue in cheek, everybody (including me!) has had trouble with McAffee, Norton, Comodo and various other security suites/firewalls. I certainly wouldn't expect you to open your 'puter up to possible attack just to crunch a specific project!
