Hi Fred,

still showing "% CPU" in ready to report and Uploading.

I don't see anything else apart what is in the wish list.

Hi Fred,

apart from yet included in wish list and reported in the forum, could be something of following:
01 - CPU bar user defined as bar or as number only, as stated in the wish list only shown in the running and h.p. running.
02 - in all windows, the colour is for all the row, could it be ended in the last column??
03 - why are slight different colours in rows for the same client state of different WU??
04 - some projects when restarted BOINC, appears as "waiting to run" but no progress bar, but in BOINC the have % done. e.g. Enigma
05 - a user defined grid for all windows.
06 - attach to new projects and update/attach with account manager (e.g BOINCStats) buttons.
07 - a user defined text font, colour, size.
08 - some colours (some of then already included):
      Messages tab: normal, warning / error, user warning / error.
      Tasks: WU may hit the DL, WU near the DL, WU over the DL, WU in progress, WU paused, WU waiting to run, ready to start, WU running but slow, WU running, WU running high priority, transfer in progress, WU finished with error, WU suspended.
      Projects: Normal, suspended, no work allowed, work buffer empty.
      in case WU finished tab: normal, and WU finished with error.
      in case Hosts tab: normal, outdated BOINC client version.
09 - user defined low efficiency of CPU/GPU (already included in wish list).
10 - if BT starts with system, why not that BT starts BOINC manager too??
11 - is there any possibility of restart any BOINC client in the network inside BT, if there are some problems with WU and projects that need to restart BOINC manager but from the BT running machine, instead of going to the other machine and restart the boinc manager.
12 - one column in the projects tab with the work buffer of every computer and project.
13 - projects tab, row credits, could be a sum of the highest values of each project to aprox. know the BOINC credits of all projects in all computers, for every computer just take the maximum value and sum this with other project, etc. the result could be shown in a row at the end of the window like the header of this window.
14 - possibility of moving the columns in windows to the desired order.
15 - mouse selection by windows, does not select anything.
16 - update all projects in the computer selected only.
17 - could be removed the right click in messages windows, and instead select the computer from the left panel.
..........

will try to find anything else to make BT the best ever.

Hi Fred,

something strange:
right click in task bar icon --> Update
current version: 0.21
latest version: 0.20

(this is like TT, I understand is a beta version)
click on button update and I'm redirected to this link:
http://www.efmer.eu/download/boinc/tasks/setup_boinc_tasks_0_2_0.exe
that the browser gives me error.



in previous version was something like
current version: 0.2.0
latest version: 0.20
I think there was some inconsistency in previous version that has been fixed in this one.

Hi Fred,

I think this have no sense if you're (and we should) run BT in just the "Server" only
one version for all the network, but now I'm running two instances of BT in two
different computers, one x86 version and another in x64, but I like to have all the
settings same in both computers.

could it be possible to export these settings and apply to the desired computer.

e.g. colours, %, sorting, etc. except computers.

Hi Fred,

1 - % running CPU/GPU: waiting to run, ready to report and uploading is showing % when should be 0 (no indicator).
2 - should be added one colour for low performance of CPU/GPU. (*)
3 - should be one entry to select the % considered as Low Performance (normal about 25%)
4 - the windows Project refresh continuously instead of time entered in Extra - Setting. (same in transfers and messages).
5 - still CAL work shown as CPU work.
6 - what is the double time shown in CPU tasks between brackets??
7 - per defect should be all computers activated, but not marked, and if you want to "go" to one computer in this case just click on the one that you want to see.
8 - ref 1 why not referring to 1 instead to 100, on that way could be better the alignment, and for easier programming I think is enough with the number without the indicator.


(*) I've seen that is "Error CPU Ratio", but should be an option as for 3.

will see if I remember something else.

Hi Fred,
if somebody knows about doing icons, could be a guest for some customizable bar icons, could be??
(of course not me, my artistic sense is not very good for developing them)     

Hi Fred,

I've seen the caption for that, but now there are more tester ithe forum and I think they could say something about that, I think is enough just with the number, not the bar, that will gives you more work and more CPU work, I guess.

another thing could be something user defined about numbers presentation, e.g. number with 1 decimal, 2 decimals, etc. so an option to show x decimals in the numbers of BoinTasks.

Hi Fred,

How could be done??

when you're running GPU work in the computer that is installed BT everytime that the program screen has to be refreshed, there are some 1/2 second or less that you see empty and scrolling to be complete, that is less visible when BT is installed in a computer that is not running GPU tasks.

could it be done in a way of not to see this scrolling??

Hi Fred,

TT 1.68 --> Tab rule: if GPU temperature > 80 sound reset 45
Tab BOINC --> exclude CPU/include GPU: cuda & astronomy_0.20_ati_x64

from time to time, mainly if I empty the milkyway warehouse and some after I resume the work (allow new work, etc.),
some minutes after this I get the alarm, I go to TT --> Tab rule and I see that rule marked in red, but the temperature shown in the miniwindow and in the graphic at any moment has reached 80, normal when processing with GPU from 65 to 70 deg. Celisus. 

Hi Fred,

for the wish list:
I think is included that the program starts with "all computer" or "localhost" selected, not needed to restore the windows for seeing that is working.

annex to this to save the windows size, position and the arrangements of the windows on the way that anybody selects.

if somebody knows about doing icons, could be a guest for some customizable bar icons, could be?? (of course not me, my artistic sense is not very good for developing them) 

Hi Fred,

I think you know that I'm Mariner, so long time away from home (not now that I'm enjoying a leap year).

could be possible in the future to run from e.g. laptop away home and accessing to home computers with BT??

as I told you is an idea.

Carmelo.

Hi Fred,

very nice version this one.

what is Preference - xml path ??

date and time now shown correctly.

Hi Fred,

TThorttle 1.68 x64 link is showing and downloading 1.65 x64.

is it possible to set a user defined refresh time instead of the actual program defined, e.g. 5 seconds, 10 seconds ....

with this refreshing time could be that CPU is spending time in refreshing clients.??

Hi Fred,

TT v 1.68 & BT 0.0.19 installed, I've seen that is pretty stable and improvements are coming very well.

some suggestions:
- is it possible to sort always all WU by the deadline and after like is now by the % of work done??
- is it possible to include in the task window one column with the fraction of CPU/GPU used for every WU running??
 I say this because if some % CPU/GPU is below some level (user definable) that it changes to another color, on that way you could know that there is something wrong with the process (for the color could be "running at low CPU/GPU speed" or something similar, this use to happens when one application hung or is started / restarted).
- could be included in the CUDA processing the CAL processing too and shown in the same way??
- in the combined computer wiew, could be included one lateral windows with the computer, on that way if you want to see one in particular, just click on it and you'll show the work for this computer, or click more than one or all together, something like a tree with: all computer, comp1, comp2,...., compn.
- sorting in the other tabs like projects (by credits or projetc, etc.)
- another tab with more information about computers, Boinc version, CPU, GPU, OS, next benchmarks and cpu/gpu capabilities in the benchmark, IP, etc.
- another tab with recorded finished tabs, with WU name, application & version, time used, and record this to a file (.csv, .txt, etc.) saved in a user definable folder (option in BoincView).

well as you see always asking  , nice weekend.

would be possible?? as now BOINC 6.10 (win x86 & x64) looks like that supports it (as beta) ??

for the newer versions of TThrottle

Hi all,

why not to include in next version in projetc window column for total host credits and average host credit??

sorting ascending or descending not properly shown lower values in the middle of bigger values.

is it possible sorting in project windows by credits or average credits??

could it be possible in the task window in the column application show the application name and version together.

Cheers all. 

Hi All,

still sorting columns (e.g. by ascending or descending %) not completelly working, some smaller numbers in the middle of bigger.

I supposse that being beta is that "Update" (the program itself option) is not working.

in previous version I saw that when a computer run out of work the last workunit done remains in its computer screen as "Ready to report", if program restarted the task windows is empty windows (as it should).

in projects window computer with shares of 100 and 25% show different length of coloured bar, should be the same??

any windows for logging finished results??

Hi Fred,

Still not able to me it work, and now it looks like that from the web that there is access to the SETI database.

in my x64 desktop:
installed, setup with the "short" user, nothing.
with the "long" user, nothing.
nothing: no retrieve computer from the web neither getting access to the database.

in my x86 laptop:
- in this version and the former beta the last computer doesn't saves properly the password (it's exchanges on every run, Why? I don't know).
- when pressed button "add computer from internet" it crashes with runtime C++ error, no number nothing else.
- only added computer manually, with the problem of the password exchange in the last one.
- when pressed load from internet, blank screen opened for every computer setup but no data at all.
Cheers, Carmelo.

Hi Fred,

in x64 version in a AMD x2 I'm getting temperatures reading of about 12 degress less than shown in the HWMonitor (x64).

in the laptop version x32 (Turion one Core) I'm getting readings of 27 deg Celsius while with HWMonitor (x32) is 69 deg Celsius. and I getting two readings instead one, because this processor is only one core. (and no thermal sensor for GPU)

no AMD offset are set in the TThrottle.xml.

and this is what is showing the log:

wow I got one core for free.
