Hello,

I noticed that there’s no client for windows x64, however, if I run boinc for 32bit on my 64 bit system it’s computing fine. Any change you can provide a client for x64 (or just present the 32 bit version as the 64 version)

Is it possible to have hosts merged?

http://boinc.vtu.lt/vtuathome/hosts_user.php?userid=461&show_all=1&sort=rpc_time

Computer ID 769 became 4800 when it was reattached to vtu@home.
Computer ID 925 became 4714 when I reinstalled Windows and installed a new version of BOINC.

Yes you are right – the vtu@home is not for profit and all the further applications who will be run on this boinc server will be for science – not profit.

Could you tell me if the vtu@home BOINC project is 100% not-for-profit? I would assume so, but I haven’t seen it stated explicitly anywhere. Thanks in advance.

Dr. Bill Siba, I was waiting for this question.

The timetable is not yet decided. There are some institutios who are interested in this type computing power. They know about this possibility and they are always speeking that they will give some material soon. But as i know they still do not have enough finance to complete thei wishes an promises to us. But I am sure thay also have a dead line. It can be something like 1.5 years.

In something like half a year I am going to deploy more serious project whitch will help me to learn how to work with boinc graphics. This project will be nice, i think, and interesting for many people…

Do you have any projected time frame for the release of your “real work” project? Weeks, months?

Thank You!!! We appreciate you had problems with the validator, but a little bit of communication and feedback from you would have prevented a lot of the bad feelings. I have started ‘crunching’ again for the project.

The validator sudenly stopped to validate results. After two weeks of search i’ve found out a problem. There was a host with a very big amount of credits granted. I don’t know how this happened, but the amount was something like 1.556456465465446545+e88. It is a very huge number of credits. Tha validator was allways to fail, if the workunit being validated, contained a result from this host. I’ve just deleted all the results from this host and all the set host credits to zero. The validator started to work. Sorry for bad experience.

Keep on good work dear contributors. I’ll try to help you to help us…

Good luck with learning all this BOINC stuff I guess it is pretty hard for you to get use to, hope to see whatever project it is you are working on come out for real soon.

Carry on the good work, remember there are people sat here waiting patiently for you to come up to speed
