1) Message boards : News : ETA to resume the project Deprecated: Creation of dynamic property BoincUser::$prefs is deprecated in /var/boincadm/prj/html/inc/forum_db.inc on line 164 (Message 4726) Posted 28 May 2022 by Michael Goetz Post: Tomáš Brada I am very sorry for your silence :( Michael Goetz we discussed with you the possibility of starting a project on tuples in PrimeGrid. Since tuples are no longer calculated in this project, I propose to return to our discussion. PrimeGrid isn't interested in running Tuples, sorry.
2) Message boards : Code and Servers : Lua Interpreter (Message 4176) Posted 11 Jul 2020 by Michael Goetz Post: Dear Michael, Currently the code expects boinc headers to reside at "standard" location. As the app matures, it will look harder for the dependencies and even recompile boinc api if not found. Now you can: a) tell me where boinc_api.h is installed on your distribution b) install boinc-dev or boincapp-dev similarly named package c) let it be I'll go with option B, but there's no tasks available at the moment.

4) Message boards : News : Database Crash and Recovery (Message 3970) Posted 31 Jan 2020 by Michael Goetz Post: Dear Bok. I do not think I need the xml files. Most of the credit has been granted for recovered work. And the rest would be just too much hassle to import. This is the result of the crash...for some devastating Thanks for that information fro Free-DC! That's only a fraction of the problem, however. In addition to the loss shown on Free-DC, there's also the tasks processed while the website was down, plus all tasks returned after the last stats dump but before the website died. All told, there's three time frames for lost tasks: 1) Returned after T.Brada's last database backup and before the last stats dump. This is the number shown on on the Free-DC website. In my case, this is 3139 credits. 2) Returned after the last stats dump, but before the T.Brada website went down. There's no easy way to determine what was lost here, although an examination of some of the logs on in the BOINC client could let you tell approximately how many tasks were returned from that host computer during this time frame. 3) Returned (or, more accurately, attempted to be returned) after the T.Brada website came back up. This is relatively easy to determine from the main client BOINC log as it tries to return the tasks, as in my earlier post. That was about 5100 credits in my case. So the missing credits for me are: 1) 3139 2) unknown 3) ~5100 In my case, I happen to know they were all SPT tasks, but it would be much more complicated had I been running a mix of tasks. Multiply this by the number of active users on the system.

On top of those results that my computers were crunching while your website was unreachable, I have no idea how much, if any, credit I lost from tasks returned before the crash. Dear Bok. I do not think I need the xml files. Most of the credit has been granted for recovered work. And the rest would be just too much hassle to import. This user feels quite differently. I'm probably not alone.
6) Message boards : Open Issues : assign app credit from tot_oldcredit table (Message 3954) Posted 28 Jan 2020 by Michael Goetz Post: Can't comment on what is being exported but it would be expected that if you added up the individual sub-projects totals it would match your total credit for the project on your account page. This is clearly not the case. This is indeed still not the case. He explained that he doesn’t have the data for the older apps, so it’s always going to be incomplete and not add up. You know, like Florida elections.
7) Message boards : News : Badges (Message 3923) Posted 18 Jan 2020 by Michael Goetz Post: Dear Crunchers. The SPT badge will be now automatically granted when user reaches 110'000 credits on Symmetric Prime Tuples or STPT applications. There will be more levels of this badge, but I do not have them now. If someone want's to draw, here is the svg. Also, Inkscape filling sucks. Is there ever work available for these projects? I've had two computers trying to get these tasks for weeks. I have a backup project, so they're not trying to get tasks 24/7, but they have not pulled a single SPT or STPT task yet. Every time I look at the server status page there's no tasks there. All I ever see are the regular PADLS tasks.
8) Message boards : Closed Issues : Result table rows growing (Message 3755) Posted 4 Nov 2019 by Michael Goetz Post: There are 5'383'613 rows in "result" table according to dbinfo.php, which is about 5 times as much as I would expect. (Old/processed results are deleted by my program automatically.) However simple count query over the table reports only 236'865 rows. What is going on? tl;dr: Believe what count() tells you rather than dbinfo.php. ops/dbinfo.php uses the SHOW TABLE STATUS command rather than SELECT COUNT(). From the mysql documentation for SHOW TABLE STATUS: Rows The number of rows. Some storage engines, such as MyISAM, store the exact count. For other storage engines, such as InnoDB, this value is an approximation, and may vary from the actual value by as much as 40% to 50%. In such cases, use SELECT COUNT(*) to obtain an accurate count. The Rows value is NULL for INFORMATION_SCHEMA tables. For InnoDB tables, the row count is only a rough estimate used in SQL optimization. (This is also true if the InnoDB table is partitioned.) I get some odd row counts on my system too, but not as bizarre as yours. I guess you're special! :) I wouldn't worry about it.
9) Message boards : News : Badges (Message 3754) Posted 4 Nov 2019 by Michael Goetz Post: With the addition of new sub-projects, are you considering adding individual project badges rather than just total credit badges? Yes I am. Actually I considered subproject badges since start of badges, but there is a minor technical difficulty that I do not track credit by subproject currently. Right away I announce that there wont be subproject badge for the tot5 app. Because I do not want to and second I do not have the data to assign it by. For Lua and Symmetric prime tuples, deletion of old results is disabled so I can extract the credit data late with a simple sql command. Algebra is your friend! :) If you decide that you do want to award a sub project badge for tot5, I suspect you may already have all the data you need to determine each user's tot5 credit. You say you have the LUA and SPT credit, right? You also have total credit, right? tot5_credit = total_credit - LUA_credit - SPT_credit.

11) Message boards : Code and Servers : Symmetric Prime Tuples development (Message 3707) Posted 21 Oct 2019 by Michael Goetz Post: Interestingly, the gap occurred in both cases at d = 10 84 - 74 = 10 36 - 26 = 10 A coincidence? Not coincidence. Windows replaced value of 0A00 (hex, little-endian) with 0A0D 00 which is exactly 2573. LOL. (This is a much easier to fix problem than it first appeared to be!) Do you realize what happened? 0A is ASCII LF, and 0D is ASCII CR. When the file was copied from linux to Windows (DOS), the copy program was probably in "text" mode rather than "binary" mode. So it converted the linux LF into a DOS CR-LF. I suppose it could be something else, but it did in fact convert LF to CR-LF, so that's the most likely cause.

For Lua and Symmetric prime tuples, deletion of old results is disabled so I can extract the credit data late with a simple sql command. NFS@Home, Primegrid and yoyo@Home all track subproject stats. I think the code all got put into the more recent server code, but you may want to ask one of them how they do it. PrimeGrid’s code for tracking sub-projects is all custom code. If I remember correctly from our most recent server upgrade, the BOINC database schema does not have any tables designed for tracking sub-project status.

Double-checking results from Xaver. I'm seeing some strange behavior with these tasks. First thing is they have a short deadline -- about 25 minutes, and they're going to take about 4 or 5 hours to run. Second problem is even though there's 4 cores on the computer, and 4 tasks were downloaded, only 1 task is running. I don't know why. There's enough memory to run more than one task, so that doesn't appear to be the problem. I'm not sure if this is a problem on your end or my end. Between the two problems, you can expect lots of automatically aborted tasks because of this. As soon as the (short) deadline passes, BOINC will automatically abort the three unstarted tasks, and immediately download three more. When their deadline passes, they will be aborted and replaced with three more, and so on.
17) Message boards : News : Badges (Message 3617) Posted 20 Sep 2019 by Michael Goetz Post: This project has badges now! They are based on total credit, but I did not want to be usual, so I choose thematic thresholds. Lv. 8) Over 6204 credits. Lv. 9) 37224 Lv.10) 197600 Lv.11) 785997 Lv.12) 2629687 Lv.13) 6873318 Lv.15) 16350666 Lv.17) 84584914 The "numbers" are number of SNDLS on the corresponding level of rule 51. The badges are assigned to Users and Teams alike and next level badge replaces the previous level. Also the credit gain has been increased about 30% up. Is the process that assigns badges running? I have 6328 total credit, which should be enough for the first badge according to what you wrote. It's been three days. I don't know how the official BOINC system works since mine predates it by many years. Are badges assigned less frequently than that?
18) Message boards : Code and Servers : Lua Interpreter (Message 3612) Posted 18 Sep 2019 by Michael Goetz Post: I would be curious to know how many of your _t3 test results found a compiler installed vs. not installed. Please share your results! I was not smart about the output and did not make the result of compiler detection easily parse-able out of the stderr. I can try my luck at regex or submit new batch. No need to run new tasks. The information is sitting there in your database. SELECT COUNT(*) "Total Tasks", SUM(stderr_out LIKE '%gcc: not found%") "No gcc", SUM(stderr_out LIKE '%g++: not found%") "No g++" SUM(stderr_out LIKE '%gcc: not found%" AND stderr_out LIKE '%g++: not found%") "Neither", FROM result WHERE server_state=5 AND outcome=1 AND stderr_out LIKE "%lua8_t3.lua% AND appid=2 ; Change appid to whatever is used for your lua app. It's easier to detect the error message from the compiler being missing than it is to detect all possible valid responses from multiple compiler versions, but that's possible if you really want to do it. For example, you can parse the output to determine which compiler version is present.
19) Message boards : Open Issues : Not getting email notifications in subscribed forum topics (Message 3609) Posted 18 Sep 2019 by Michael Goetz Post: Please consider this a low priority bug report. I believe the outgoing email from the server is not working. I'm not receiving emails about posts in subscribed forum threads, and not receiving email for incoming private messages. My email address is correct, and the community preferences are set to "immediate". The messages aren't in my spam filter. From experience, I know it's difficult getting this to work correctly, and this isn't very important, so nobody should complain if it's not fixed soon (or ever). I just want to make sure you're aware of it.
20) Message boards : Code and Servers : Lua Interpreter (Message 3608) Posted 18 Sep 2019 by Michael Goetz Post: A lot of the people I know who run BOINC for fun -- but treat it as a serious hobby -- besides doing the traditional "run BOINC in your spare computer cycles" thing, actively buy, build, and or rent computers just for running BOINC projects. Many times Linux machines are set up just for running BOINC. This includes VMs running on Windows machines as well as cloud servers from AWS, or less expensive options like Digital Ocean. In most cases, these are minimal Linux installations, sometimes with a boinc-client package installed and nothing else. Of the three linux VMs running in my house, only one has compiler tools. The one that ran your Lua tasks does not. And, of course, every cloud server I've spun up for running BOINC did not. I would be curious to know how many of your _t3 test results found a compiler installed vs. not installed. Please share your results!
