BOINC MANAGER 7.2.39

[myshortpencil]

Anyone have more specifics about the changes to CPU and GPU scheduling and work-fetch in 7.2.39 as reported at http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Release_Notes ?

[Bryan]

Maybe they made it work correctly =)) Wouldn't it be nice if when you hit Update it actually did what you asked rather than what it wants to do!

Going to update systems to it tomorrow. I will let you know if they are any issues with it.

As for changes you asked about There is more here: https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=8378&postid=52011#52198

"We've released version 7.2.39 of BOINC.

Changes include:

- Revert back to the original CPU throttling scheme.
To test: use CPU throttling and compare results with 7.2.33 or older."

and

"Preliminary Change Log 7.2.38 --> 7.2.39:
• client: <cpu_sched> shouldn't show suspend/resume msgs for CPU throttling.

• client: fix bugs in accounting elapsed time.

• client: don't use sub-second CPU throttling.

The developer forgot that the wrapper has a 1-second poll for suspend and resume, so sub-second throttling won't work properly for wrapper apps. Revert to a variant of the old scheme, in which the min of the suspended and resumed periods is 1 sec. Also, fix task start/suspend/resume log messages."

Crap, I forgot to upgrade client.

[EmSti]

Ok, upgraded no issues. Not that I was expecting any.

[myshortpencil]

I usually wait for a few versions before Updating the Client so since I just did .39 I'll skip this one for now ... :)

On second thought I may have to switch to .42, at least on the Box's that have Finished YoYo Wu;s, I read where the .39 is causing Upload Problems to some Projects ... Don't see it on any sites yet though

Okay Thanks Z, Downloading it now, except for 3 Box's as long as the Pog's Upload okay I'll wait until after the Pog's Challenge to Update, didn't have any problems yesterday uploading Pog's Wu's so I should be okay there. But I have 3 Box with Finished YoYo's on them, if they don't Upload I'll Update those 3 Box's to .42 ...

[STE\/E]

Went ahead & installed .42, I figured what the heck it only takes a few min's on each Box to do it, so I'll find out tonight if the .42 version will upload the YoYo Wu's ...

Were your YoYo wus saved by the .42 update?

[STE\/E]

Yes, they uploaded & reported too this morning when I dropped my Pog's Bunker's ...
