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

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

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

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
