KWSN Orbiting Fortress

Is there any project that needs more power right now than another? I'm pretty flexible. I was planning on using PrimeGrid for the first month or so and going from there.

Nothing ridicously powerful, but I've got a lappy with a core 2 duo T7100 and 2.5GBs RAM coming online for BOINC next week (provided the thing doesn't overheat a la current Pentium M to the 80's C.)
...

I've got lappy running BOINC somewhat sporatically and underclocked, but I guess every bit helps. I do not have active cooling, but the intake and exhause are on the back and side respectively on thi ...

It's possible. I have four healthy models running right now. I've only lost one of the last 5 (knock on wood).

I have one semi-retired machine running Ubuntu on a 1GHz Athlon Thunderbird. It ain't much. My only problem is that I cannot get the Boinc Manager to connect with and stay connected with the local h ...

I hate to say it, but Lappy is going to retire from BOINC for a while. It has just been running too hot despite the throttling at stock speeds or the undervolting and I just cannot afford random syst ...

Well 1GHz (okay, 997MHz) with BOINC going full-out seems like the best compromise. CPU temps of 60-63, everthing else nice and steady. Working from a meidian of about 15:00 per PrimeGrid WU at 1.4Ghz, ...

Yeah, but CPDN models take close to 3000 hours to run. They don't have to contact the server every day, every week or even every month. Yes, it sends trickle-up messages and gives intermittent credi ...

The underclock is just taking advantage of the Pentium M's dynamic processing, which is controlled by voltage fluctuations. The Pentium M in its default settings already moves from 600-1400 in 200Mhz ...

I don't know, it seems to me that a three or four day cache was usually sufficient to get through any outage until about a year ago, but it seems that lately the failures are more catestrophic. It co ...

It seems like this issues comes up a lot for anyone involved in distributed computing. IIRC, Pentium D's are supposed to run at 64C or below for safe operation. Mine always hangs around in the upper 6 ...

I just finally got around to getting BOINC to work on Ubuntu. It's the kids' computer, so I don't get into it often. Tip: you have to right click and give yourself permission to open the package. Th ...

I babysit BOINC a bit more on this one than usual. I suspend network activity except for once or twice a day and then take a stab at uploading/downloaded. So far I've yet to get any Project Down mes ...

I've been running it for a few weeks owing to the short work units since I'm in repair mode on several machines right now and I'm going on and off-line a lot. Even my paltry 600-ish RAC has increased ...

Can someone talk me through it real simple-like? I just converted an XP box to Ubuntu and I'm just now settling in. I'd like to get it back to BOINCing but I haven't yet figured out how to the get th ...

Now PrimeGrid is down for the weekend. This is getting ridiculous. I'm tempted to download a Climate Prediction model for back-up. At least I only need work from them once every many, many, many mo ...

Yeah, I know. I finally reported the 29 results that have been hanging around on one machine for what seems like an eternity.

Btw, I don't withhold crunching to punish a flakey project, it's an a ...

Tell me about it. Has anybody else noticed that SETI and Einstein have an uncanny ability to go down at the same time. I hate it when two projects fail at one. It puts me into tertiary mode, doing ...
