Already in the thread on the same page--we don't need more threads about it.

OK I need another lesson in bunkering, not something normally I do except for this event so it has been too long. I've tried to DL WUs, let them run, then suspend them once they reach abou 90%. But then I can't get any more WUs since Boinc knows I have suspended WUs. So I un-suspend them and can get a few more, but eventually it says I have too many and won't gimme anymore. That's about when I give up, send 'em all in and just shrub normally.

Is there a better system? I recall one where you disable internet access and just let 'em shrub. Perhaps it's all in the timing and getting the cache of WUs sized properly? If so, need details on how to do that; I've forgotten how and I'm too lazy too look it up. Razz

On edit: Just found this instruction that states a 10 day cache is possible, is that the key? Ni?

I set my max work buffer to 10 for 10 days worth of work since the deadlines aren't until next month. This allowed me to download 95 WUs and I turned off network communication in boinc after that so that I can run all 95 and then upload them all once the contest starts.

You can also bunker by firewall rule and still run BOINC on other projects.
SETTING UP A RULE WITH WINDOWS FIREWALL for WIN7

CONTROL PANEL > WINDOWS FIREWALL > Advanced Settings
On the left side of the panel
OUTBOUND RULES
On right side of panel
NEW RULE
CUSTOM - NEXT
All Programs - NEXT
NEXT
Under "Which remote IP addresses does this rule apply to?"
THESE IP ADDRESSES - ADD
THIS IP RANGE
From 208.68.240.0 EDIT. Embarassed
To 208.68.240.255
OK - NEXT
Block the connection - NEXT
check Domain, Private, Public - NEXT
Name your rule ie BLOCK SETI - FINISH

To REMOVE the rule go to OUTBOUND RULES, highlight the rule, then on the right side click on DELETE and then YES.

The only downside is you won't be able to communicate with SETI on that computer. You would have to do message boards and account checks on a different rig without the firewall rule set.

Won't the firewall method only give you a handful of seti tasks at a normal buffer number because of it needing to balance between several projects?

Edit I set up the rule and re enabled network for boinc and my whole bunker cleared out and reported everything back. I set the rule to block the remote ip's that you listed, not sure where it went wrong but it did not block the transmission, but it does block the website so something must be different

Yes, you have to get your SETI tasks first and can only get 100 per Client.
... Unless you have a multi boot machine running multiple clients as illustrated in these brilliant plans:

Had to let my laptop go back to reporting tasks because it had some DDMs that finished and we need the points. Main shrubber has made it through 55 of its 99 so far so it still has time before it finishes and will need more. Has anyone found that ip yet?

I cannot yet pinpoint the SETI IP they use for sending WU.
I tried using an IP lookup program and plugging in addresses listed in my P2P blocker allowed log. Just couldn't pin it down... yet.
.......
Here is a little more on the subject>> http://www.dunadd.co.uk/seti/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=2092
the only IP I can get for SETI is 169.229.217.150 ... that doesn't work. #Mad
........
EDIT: Good work Plomos finding the correct range for firewall IP blocking#ni-1

I had to sacrifice a bunch of units to being uploaded and reported to find this out, but thanks to a handy program called wireshark (that I forgot I had) I have located the ip needed.

To block SETI communication i blocked 208.68.240.0 - 208.68.240.255

The ip that it was uploading to was 208.68.240.16 so i have range blocked to be safe since they have multiple servers. I confirmed because the ip is registered to Berkley and Seti specifically. Double checked by finishing a unit and it does not upload with the rule enabled and network communication via boinc enabled.

The proof is in the elderberry logs.

The nice thing is, this leaves open the SETI main server !!! Can Bunker and continue PM invitations at the same time.

Question for those in the know?

I keep getting Seti GPU wu's for my ati integrated freezing up. they'll run for hours with no movement, eventually I get fed up and pause them, they'll them restart, normally resetting to just just a hour or two duration, only to freeze again later?
'Tis a reet pain in zee bottom, so gave up and just crunching the CPU's

So I'm going to ignore that 'in the know' because I want to guess.
I'm assuming that you are using Lunatics SETI Optimiser.
By "integrated GPU" I'm assuming you mean it's an APU rather than a "video card" with CPU.
Some observations:
The checkpointing for the Astropulse V7 ati WU's is very long; it sits at 'Time Remaining' for a very long time. When you restart it it goes back to the last checkpoint time it passed.
Even though the 'Time Remaining' number isn't moving, a resource meter shows it the ati APv7 is doing it's business. (Sending periodic info to the slot log files and using a small portion of a CPU core.)

Since you say it goes for a "very long time" without running, it may be that the ati part of your APU needs a core free on to operate the APv7.
What if you leave a core of the CPU free for the GPU by using an app_config.xml that also limits the GPU usage?

Quote:
<app_config>
<app>
<name>setiathome_v7</name>
<max_concurrent>3</max_concurrent>
</app>

<app>
<name>astropulse_v7</name>
<gpu_versions>
<gpu_usage>0.5</gpu_usage>
</gpu_versions>
</app>
</app_config>

*for windoz create in notepad and put in C:\ProgramData\BOINC\projects\setiathome.berkeley.edu

Definitely NOT in the know but I love to guess. Hopefully someone can give you a better answer...

Ya Johnny I'm just glad I finally found the blasted ip. That's what happens when I'm up in the middle of the night and get obsessed over fixing a nerd issue.

As for the integrated issue i am not sure. Sometimes it takes a while for my integrated intel gpu to crunch but that is because some of them are longer units. Johnny's guess seems plausible enough to try and see.

Thanks JJ but the setting hadn't been changed and I am only now experiencing the problem. Is this an optimizer update issue?
I cannot remember any taking 10 hrs = 24%before I suspended it

None are listed as astropulse and I do not have it enabled

It was set to use no more the 80% of the cores so in my theory surely one core would always be available on a quad core?? Task claims it's using no more than 0.04 of a core +1 AMD/ATI GPU Does any of that make sense, I'll frame if it does.

Not sure what version of the optimized app you are using but two weeks ago they made an update to it that impacts older ati cards.

Sir Bullocks a.k.a. Crabby Patty,
if you look at: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=4287925366 for a "successful" result
- it shows that it took less than 2 hours runtime.
- it was restarted at 48.69% and restarted twice at 50.9%
- before the first restart there was a recompile issue that it gave up on ?????

You should be running Lunatics Unified Win64 v0.43 (a) or (b) on that computer.
If you need to update or reinstall the Lunatics, I would dump all your seti work, suspend SETI, Exit BOINC and Uninstall your old Lunatics Optimizer first.
Many of the AstroPulse_v7 are various sizes and some might take your computer 6 to 10 hours.
The gpu part of your APU should do the setiathome_v7 WU in about the same time as your cpu cores, around 2 1/2 hours.
Something is amiss...
