FAQ / app_config.xml editor

« on: June 07, 2018, 10:01:11 am »

As of V 1.77 BoincTasks includes an app_config.xml editor, that should work with BOINC 7.10.2.

More info here https://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Client_configuration

To use select the Project Tab -> select a project -> Menu Extra Edit config file (app_config.xml)

The test entry:


<app_config>
       <app>
           <name>setiathome_v8</name>
           <max_concurrent>1</max_concurrent>
           <gpu_versions>
               <gpu_usage>.5</gpu_usage>
               <cpu_usage>.4</cpu_usage>
           </gpu_versions>
           <fraction_done_exact>0</fraction_done_exact>
           <report_results_immediately>0</report_results_immediately>
       </app>
       <app_version>
           <app_name>setiathome_v8</app_name>
           <plan_class></plan_class>
           <cmdline>--nthreads 7</cmdline>
           <avg_ncpus>0.000000</avg_ncpus>
           <ngpus>4.000000</ngpus>
       </app_version>
       <project_max_concurrent>0</project_max_concurrent>
       <report_results_immediately>0</report_results_immediately>
   </app_config>

**NOTE:
The BOINC client changes:
      <gpu_versions>
          <gpu_usage>.5</gpu_usage>
          <cpu_usage>.4</cpu_usage>
      </gpu_versions>
into:
      <gpu_gpu_usage>0.500000</gpu_gpu_usage>
      <gpu_cpu_usage>0.400000</gpu_cpu_usage>

Both are valid.

Cloud / Temperarely shut down.

« on: April 18, 2017, 02:46:37 am »

Seti.nl moved to new home.
That means that BoincTasks cloud that resided on that server is no longer working.
I was forced to move the cloud server folder to a 'black hole', the high number of request to the new server almost overloaded the new server.

I'm moving BoincTasks cloud to a new home, but that may take a while.
If it's not up and running in a month, please remind me. I might be busy on something else and forgot all about it.

FAQ / TThrottle won't start automatically at login

« on: October 29, 2016, 04:39:35 pm »

Try this:
In TThrottle go to Preference and remove the check at "Run TThrottle as login"
TThrottle can't make any changes unless it runs as administrator, so it will restart as user administrator.
Now you have to select Yes to allow it to start as administrator or enter an administrator name and password.

Next set the check ar "Run TThrottle as login"

Now TThrottle  should start as soon as you log in.

FAQ / Windows XP

« on: July 28, 2014, 12:25:01 pm »

TThrottle V 7.30 is the last XP version.

If you installed a later version, you need to go back to 7.30.

Go to "control panel" and select programs. Find TThrottle and  select Uninstall.
Got to C:\Program Files\eFMer\TThrottle and remove all files. You many want to make a copy of the folder first.

Now install V 7.30 http://efmer.com/b/tthrottle_download_release
