1) Message boards : News : Some news about next search (Message 1418) Posted 28 Sep 2020 by Conan Post: This one I will have to sit out as I have no 64 bit Windows machine. Maybe a Linux version may pop up. I doubt it though as I didn't run Gerasim as it was only a Windows project. Will keep waiting for the next one. Conan
2) Message boards : News : First workunits of new search will be generated soon (Message 1328) Posted 20 Jul 2020 by Conan Post: You beauty, I get my chance to try for 10,000,000 points. Thank you. Conan
3) Message boards : Number crunching : Last ODLS Monthly Badge? (Message 1051) Posted 16 Jun 2019 by Conan Post: Yes I have one as well, completing the current set. It is a lot harder to get a ODLS pair in rank 10, haven't got one as yet, but hopeful it is possible. Conan
4) Message boards : Number crunching : April Totals (Message 898) Posted 16 Apr 2019 by Conan Post: Hi! It wiil be coming soon! Thanks hoarfrost, you must be working flat out. Conan
5) Message boards : Number crunching : April Totals (Message 896) Posted 16 Apr 2019 by Conan Post: Are ODLS totals for April a little tardy being posted, or am i really that anemic in finding pairs for the month? :) I'll drink to that (Cider please, apples are good for you). Conan
6) Questions and Answers : Web site : 504 Gateway Time-out when posing on forum (Message 803) Posted 6 Mar 2019 by Conan Post: Got another one of these today. Happened on the "Number Crunching" forum with the "Validated but 0 credit" thread. Also on this very thread as well. Conan EDIT: seems to happen if more than 7 or so words are typed.
7) Message boards : Number crunching : validated but 0 credits? (Message 802) Posted 6 Mar 2019 by Conan Post: https://rake.boincfast.ru/rakesearch/result.php?resultid=29630075 max. FLOPS des Gerätes 0.00 GFLOPS HTF can that be??? All my work units also show 0.00 GFLOPS, Linux and Windows. Does this project not use Flops at all? Conan
8) Message boards : News : Totals of structures from ODLS of Rank 1 - 8 (Message 793) Posted 3 Mar 2019 by Conan Post: Hello Conan! We uploaded these files onto our site and change the links. Try again, please. Thanks hoarfrost, I can read them now. Conan
9) Message boards : News : Totals of structures from ODLS of Rank 1 - 8 (Message 788) Posted 2 Mar 2019 by Conan Post: Sorry but my internet provider will not allow access to this web site as it says it may contain malicious content and blocks me, even when I say to proceed anyway it still blocks it. I might give my Windows computer a run and see if it lets me through. Conan
10) Questions and Answers : Web site : 504 Gateway Time-out when posing on forum (Message 766) Posted 14 Feb 2019 by Conan Post: Still getting these gateway timeouts, just had another one. Conan
11) Message boards : Number crunching : Optimized RakeSearch app for rank 9 (computations finished) (Message 765) Posted 14 Feb 2019 by Conan Post: I have uploaded fixed SSE2 version, and SSSE3 version (notice triple S here, it is Supplemental SSE3). It turned out that with new compilation options these versions are a bit faster than previous "SSE2" version: SSE2: real 4m8.098s user 4m6.121s sys 0m0.032s SSSE3: real 4m2.163s user 4m0.198s sys 0m0.018s Previous "SSE2": real 4m14.850s user 4m12.858s sys 0m0.047s Thanks Daniel, the new SSE2 optimizations work a treat and are in fact as you said, a bit faster than before, by quite a few minutes. Thanks again for the effort and great work. Conan
12) Questions and Answers : Web site : 504 Gateway Time-out when posing on forum (Message 734) Posted 5 Feb 2019 by Conan Post: Same for me, has been happening all day, causes double or triple posts as you don't think the post has gone through. Conan
13) Message boards : Number crunching : Optimized RakeSearch app for rank 9 (computations finished) (Message 733) Posted 5 Feb 2019 by Conan Post: I have checked this and found bug in compilation options. SSE2 app versions uses SSSE3 instructions which are not supported by your CPU, so they crash with error/signal "Illegal Instruction". I will release fixed app versions later today. Until then please use previous app version, or non-SSE one. Thanks Daniel, I have put all back to the old application and am now again processing some work. Conan
14) Message boards : Number crunching : Optimized RakeSearch app for rank 9 (computations finished) (Message 731) Posted 5 Feb 2019 by Conan Post: It is now getting worse. All my computers have killed every work unit they get (Windows XP and Linux Fedora). All was going great but this new version has just killed everything. I have now uninstalled and re-installed on one computer, then downloaded the new version again, stopped Boinc and extracted files, then restarted Boinc and the 1 WU that was on the computer after reinstall then crapped itself and died. So seeing now when new work downloads if the new version works from a bare slate. Conan
15) Message boards : Number crunching : Optimized RakeSearch app for rank 9 (computations finished) (Message 730) Posted 5 Feb 2019 by Conan Post: Thanks Daniel for your efforts in getting this out there. However I seem to have a problem with your new programme, all I get is <core_client_version>7.4.25</core_client_version> <![CDATA[ <message> process exited with code 193 (0xc1, -63) </message> <stderr_txt> SIGILL: illegal instruction Stack trace (10 frames): [0x411740] [0x4f0b10] [0x40c282] [0x409d6c] [0x40cdc4] [0x4063dd] [0x404f5c] [0x4f21a4] [0x4f2421] [0x4058b6] Exiting... </stderr_txt> Which is trashing a heap of work units, I re-downloaded and re-installed the files but this made no difference. I noticed that the line <platform>xxxx</platform> had been added to the apt_info.xml file so I removed that to see if it made a difference but alas it did not. So I will re-install your older version and see if all starts working again. Thanks Conan Which app was used? The 955 doesn't have AVX so the SSE app would be required. Same exe name so these should be a drop in replacement. Thanks for the great work Daniel. SSE is the one I downloaded (twice, in case I had a corrupted file). I have to wait for other work to clear before I can see if the old one is still working, then I might try the new one again. My other 2 computers have not cleared their work cache yet so have not downloaded new work, so I don't know if they work with the new optimized application. Conan

17) Message boards : News : Christmas Graphs (Message 672) Posted 25 Dec 2018 by Conan Post: Thanks Natalia and hoarfrost, for a successfully running project. If you celebrate it Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to yourselves and all who make the project possible. The updates are great, keeping us informed. thanks Conan
18) Message boards : Number crunching : 100+ ODLS Pairs (Message 655) Posted 6 Dec 2018 by Conan Post: I have passed a small (or large, depending on point of view) milestone today. I now have 101 ODLS pairs credited as found by myself. This has taken me 15 months to achieve this milestone, so we will see how long the next 100 take. The three I have found so far this month also includes my biggest ODLS pair to date with 8 matching pairs found in 8 squares. ODLS pair R9_010335814 Conan
19) Message boards : News : Cep and first half of September 2018! (Message 610) Posted 16 Oct 2018 by Conan Post: Dear Conan, thank you for ideas. It is nice to see people reacting and proposing new things. We thought of 3 more large animals to proceed that series of badges. As I understand, the Moose is an American kind (or just the word is), and the Elk is Eurasian. And we definitely have no tigers! :) They live only in the Far East (Pacific coast of Russia). Also, no wild bulls of any kind. We also think of starting a new series of badges, for the total number of findings instead of the credit. It can be birds of Karelia because they "collect" findings. No worries, I think now what I was reading may of been animals of the region during the past few thousand years, so the animals I proposed may of been in the area once but they are no longer there now. Well of all my animal proposals that only leaves the Golden Eagle and Viper. There are quite a few bird species in the area, so you have a fairly wide choice. Conan A bit more research and I found that the Moose of America is what Europeans call an Elk (basically the same animal), however to confuse things in America (USA, maybe Canada) they call the largest of the deer family an Elk or Wapiti, (the antlers are the easiest way to tell them apart), closely related to the American Elk (Wapiti) is the Caribou which is what Europeans call a Reindeer, so confusing. You can add to the animal list of Viper and Golden Eagle, the Wolverine. There is also a Black Polecat, but I don't know if it is related to the Weasel / Mink family or not. Thanks Conan
