Yep i am getting crashes too with 0.79 on Win7 64 bit

first time i had noticed BT crash before and just checked my dump files and only four

two from today where had two icons in the task bar - BT would not close from the main menu or the system tray

had to manually kill with task manager although took a couple of goes to work

do you want the dump files even rar'd the smallest is 24meg in size

can put them on dropbox and send you the link if thats easier?

Fred

is there a limit on the size of the history

got an error this morning when opening BT (0.76) that history was too large - (10 days)

yes this machine has done a lot of tasks recently but was unaware of a limit

not a huge problem have reduced to 5 days now

no problem for me (0.76)

simply as i had nothing left but vlars so wanted my GPU's to crunch something while waiting and had loooooots of vlars

sorry Fred it appears that Boinc Manager renumbers them!!!

if you use properties of task in BM it show d0, d1 or d2 not d0, d2 and d3 (d for device)

oh well not much we can do about that

Fred

i have disabled one of my GPU (via cc_config file) as running vlars on GPU (as have no other work) and it makes the pc very choppy if i run one on the GPU that i have a monitor attached to.

this made me notice something

in BT you number the GPU's d0, d1 etc

now i disabled GPU no 2 or NVIDIA GPU 1 as its called below

e.g.
28/09/2010 18:35:07      NVIDIA GPU 0: GeForce GTX 295 (driver version 25896, CUDA version 3010, compute capability 1.3, 878MB, 647 GFLOPS peak)
28/09/2010 18:35:07      NVIDIA GPU 1 (ignored by config): GeForce GTX 295 (driver version 25896, CUDA version 3010, compute capability 1.3, 877MB, 647 GFLOPS peak)
28/09/2010 18:35:07      NVIDIA GPU 2: GeForce GTX 295 (driver version 25896, CUDA version 3010, compute capability 1.3, 878MB, 647 GFLOPS peak)
28/09/2010 18:35:07      NVIDIA GPU 3: GeForce GTX 295 (driver version 25896, CUDA version 3010, compute capability 1.3, 878MB, 647 GFLOPS peak)

but in BT i have d0, d1??, d2 but not d3 as i was expecting to see d0, d2, d3

one final thing why d and not g? unless d means device?

Hi Fred

Had a problem today after a BSOD (was messing around doing Over Clock testing )

i lost all my history info for all my machines - not the end of the world i know but...

I guess BT holds these in memory until its closed (properly!) - if my guess is correct could it say write them to disk/make a backup say once an hour?

I did not appear to loose any of the message info or settings when my pc crashed

Fred

could you add a new column to the tasks tab to be able to see the received date for tasks

you have the info in the properties window but would be good to see in the task window as well

Thanks

Thanks

had not spotted that feature

great that works fine for me

Fred

couple of ideas around the task tab

Could we have a double click event say in Status column so we could apply the filter options a bit more easily - as a toggle so first double click turns filter off then second double click turns it back on by status type of row clicked on? - reason is that you have to select on row before you can get to filter list - left click then right click navigate menu check/uncheck filter - laborious if want to change several filters in one session

second option have it so there is a "+" sign by a filter applied in status column and "-" when not applied - i.e. a bit like a listview of directory structure or something simple to click on an off

Anyway a couple of ideas as i usually have lots of tasks and use the filter options a lot

T

I would like there to be another tab please

Thanks

Tim

Ah ok

its the 15 second thing then

Hi

with Milkyway reporting a lot of my CUDA wu appear as "missed" in the History log on both 0.62 and 0.66 when in fact they are not missed reporting - have checked on Milkyway site

it appears that for all of them (12)  if the wu is completed and reported at exactly the same time - boinctasks shows it as a "missed" status

also just checking it has done the same on three SETI wu as well - cant verify these but i never get close to a wu running out

other work units not with the same times are fine

is this a bug or am i missing something?

Cheers

Tim
