Is it working?

<< < (2/2)

Nebby:
Ben,

It started using the new binary for me right away, even with WU's that were already started.  You can't miss the new executable in Task Manager.

Thanks to you and the rest of the gang for the improvements. 

Simon:
Nebby,

that's what usually happens - in fact, I'd say always, but it's not as apparent if you don't check using task manager.

BOINC never says anything else but "found app_info.xml; using anonymous platform".

Thing is, if you resume a WU that you started with a previous app, it will not show up in the stderr (and hence, look like that WU was crunched with the previous app in the BOINC stats). This is because Ben changed the sources so it only writes the stderr output when it's below 0.1% (I think, correct me if I'm wrong Ben :)) of WU completion. Reason for this being, when you suspend/resume a WU often, the stderr output would otherwise repeat a lot.

Hope that explains things,
Simon.

It was based on percentage for awhile, but now the identification info is only output if there's been no signal analysis done; i.e. when it's a new task.

There is a good indicator when a WU has been finished by the new version, it ouputs the signal and flop counts on two lines (one for labels and the numbers below). The older versions had individual lines for all 5 values with the label followed by the number.

Old style:


--- Code: ---Flopcounter: 243250770573

Spike   count:  0
Pulse   count:  0
Triplet count:  0
Gaussian count: 0

--- End code ---

New style:


--- Code: ---Spikes Pulses Triplets Gaussians Flops
   0      0       1        0     790637442701

--- End code ---

Hey - I've even optimized the stderr output....five lines down two lines  ::)

Will the app mentioned in this thread work with BOINC 5.10.30?
