New version: 0.5.5 GUI: -

New version: 0.5.5

GUI:

- fixed cache size computation
- speed improvements
- new settings in bs.ini (port, updates, timeout, update_clients)
- messages tab added in projects
- messages copy to clipboard added in groups and single computer tabs
- optional filter to display only started results in works tabs
- menus improvements (not yet finished)
- some new lang messages
- russian

client:

- core_client_version BoincStudio version and cpu instructions sets are reported again
- CC logging and computation fixed
- reporting of finished results is forced if min_rpc_time >= 4 hours
- compilation fixes for linux client (less dynamic link depends)
- reporting credit correction status, real and corrected benchmarks with results

Very interessant feature because of E@H outage: reporting of finished results is forced if min_rpc_time >= 4 hours. With that, your box is able to restart E@H at maximum 4 hours after new WUs available, not after 6 days with regular version.

Thanks for the update. There

Thanks for the update.
There are still some glitches with update procedure: I'm running BOINC Manager and BS, but when new version is installed and BS trigger BOINC restart, only BOINC core in a window is restarted, not BOINC Manager.

- optional filter to display only started results in works tab
OK, how do we that?

Among previously suggested features, there is a simple one to implement, yet very usefull I believe.
On a project/get work, among items 1,2,3...7 days, please add value of "1 second". It should make scheduler provide just one WU.
It's usefull for example when alpha/beta testing new app version or to prevent getting more [large] WUs on dual-cores when not wanted.

EDIT: I found quite high disk I/O (i.e. GBs per day) on boinc.exe core comparing to standard UCB boinc core or other cores. Any explanation for this?

Server@home, so it cannot handle too many connections and might be down sometimes.

I think this is because BOINCManager is not part of BOINCStudio. I will transfer your remark to DocMaboul and let you know what he think/can do about it.

Just go in the "Work" tab, right click somewhere in the window (on an empty place, not on a WU). You will see "Show only started" that you can tick or untick.

Interresting request. I will forward to Doc.

Hmm, I thought that if BS can shutdown Boinc Manager, it can also make it running again...

This is what I did...no luck - only Work->Columns menu appears.
Ha, I see now: it only works when in Project tree, not computer tree.

Glad you find it interesting :-)

Love BS, it makes number

Love BS, it makes number crunching easier and more fun. Thanks Doc.

I have 2 questions on BS:
1.
Limitting CPU works great on eg. Einstein but does not seem to work with CPDN/BBC-project. Does anyboddy else notice this behavior, or is it just me (tested on Pentium-M and a Pentium-D, both WinXp))

2.
Today I got my first WorkUnits from LHC@Home and I noticed that many computer-ID's were generated. It looked like each result had generated a new ID.
Since LHC@H is running out of WU's it will be very difficult to test it with an original BOINC-client.
Does this ring a bell, anyone running BS and LHC@H ?

Tia, Leon

I am Homer of Borg. Prepare to be ...ooooh donuts!

Leon, (ad. 2) I believe you

Leon,
(ad. 2) I believe you are also running Boinc Account Manager. Yes, LHC has this problem, so does SZTAKI for example, so there are still project to chase/fix this bug.

ledi,

1 - I will transmit to Doc.

2 - I'm running LHC without this trouble, but I'm not using BAM.
