SETI Enhanced

[UBT - BHCJackie]

I had actually - ner ner na ner ner!

Turns out it is some other problem some others have had the same issue you have had, have posted the WU ID of yours that crashed.

Could just be a isolated incident lets wait and see what happens with your next WU, when one arrives

TYVM sweety, you are a star.

Two other things:
1:  I got an error msg when 5.4.9 started

06/05/2006 21:46:47|SETI@home|State file error: missing application file setiathome_4.11_windows_intelx86.exe
06/05/2006 21:46:47|SETI@home|Can't handle application version in state file

This means what exactly?

2:  I've suspended everyhting but Seti which has another enhanced wu now crunching

06/05/2006 21:51:45|SETI@home|Starting task 06ja99ab.28689.5313.154822.3.211_2 using setiathome_enhanced version 512

I'll let you know what happens.

Sounds like there may be a file missing as well in your BOINC folder, best thing to do is suspend all new work to the project, let BOINC crunch what you have got make sure the work is uploaded and out of your work queue, detach from SETI & then attach again, this will clear out all the files and re-download everything it needs to work correctly

I was using a version of Boinc 5.3.(something).  It seems that we are only going to get about 30 credits per workunit http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit ... d=76495996

Cor - you're lucky - I got 12.54 (or less !!):

http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit ... d=76426452


So, you should try some SETI BETA WU's:

How's about  133.48 credits per WU?

Or even 220.07 credits per WU:

(Waiting for my SE cache to run out so I can install crunch3r's new opti-client for SE....!)  :D

Wild times on the 2nd one! 1 at 55 hours, 1 at 56 hours and the other at 15!

Similar computers but the 15 hour user has Linux 2.6.16.12-maverick! Are they really a factor of over 3 times faster?

The guy on BETA with the Linux is a tester of the optimised enhanced apps hence his quicker times than the others

Hi David,

As the resident "fountain of knowledge" can you offer an opinion on this:

Running BOINC v5.2.13 and had crunch3r's SETI-opti app running.

Drained cache, since SE was being downloaded by others...!.

So now have NO SETI (4.1eight) WU's.

So, detached SETI, which caused a download of the SE application.

Did not download any work, as I suspended as soon as the app and support files downloaded.

Have now got crunch3r's latest opti-SE app.

Copied into correct project directory, but now get:

07/05/2006 19:01:29|SETI@home|app_version refers to nonexistent file: setiathome_4.11_windows_intelx86.exe
07/05/2006 19:01:29|SETI@home|Can't link app version in state file

So, somehow BONC still thinks I#'ve got the earlier SETI app installed..

very strange...

any thoughts...??

regards,

Tim

By any chance does this happen when it is connecting to the server or when it is attempting to start a WU

I would guess you still have the old app_info.xml in your projects directory

there shouldn't be any old files in there, when you detach from a project BOINC clears all the files for that project out, so when you attach back to a project it will download the latest files

Where I think the master has gone wrong is he needs to do this

Got to remember that SETI is still classed as 4.18 WU's, the enhanced ones are gradually been filtered in and until then you need to have both files in there for both optimisations and for both types of WU's, I reckon Timbo has gotten rid of a file needed when he was messing with Enhanced optimisation app
