I hate the fact that I have to manage all my subscriptions. Why can\'t I sign up once with Boinc, select my projects, and have Boinc manage the subscription process with the various projects. And when I go to add a new computer I have to enter all that stuff again. Why can\'t I just tell Boinc on the new computer my Boinc user ID and have it just start working?
This is the biggest obstacle to me using Boinc, I hate repetitive, valueless, busy work.

Don\'t launch links in Internet Explorer, use the default web browser - many people, and probably especially those who run BOINC under Windows, prefer an alternative browser to IE.
As well as being able to see \"credit\" and \"pending credit\", it would be nice to know if a workunit contributed to a find, or a success.
Allow \"Snooze\" for different amounts of time, ie. 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, or \"until screensaver\".

For Mac OS X 10.5, I want to know where BOINC stores files on the hard drive so I can have Time Machine ignore it. Right now i am limiting the disk space BOINC can use because I don\'t want to eat up my Time Machine drive space. If I could have Time Machine ignore the files/folders, I would be more liberal in granting space on the drive.

1. Fix the Vista compatibility of the client (so there are no admin permissions required to run, or prompts for admin permissions from Vista\'s security).
2. Require all projects to have a good, readable explanation of the science (more detail is fine after a basic explanation), how the results will be used and by who, if it\'s a \"for profit\" project (and who profits), status of the project (i.e. just because the servers are \"up\" doesn\'t always mean there\'s work!) and most importantly, regular updates on the science posted to the web page.
My feelings on the for profit issue is that it should be included in a header about the project - it should be very obvious that it\'s for-profit, and not hidden away in a page of text, or even worse, implied.
3. Also.. seti@home has a nice, brief blurp about the project right at the top of their homepage. All projects shoudl have that.

I really want more statistics in the boinc program about the project(s) which is going on (analyzed). Now there is only stupid useless credits and space graph(s) which does not give actually any information what my computer has analyzed and found and what have been the best results. Not even Boinc-stats sites give these more interesting information which im looking for althought there is more stats, which id like to see also in the Boinc program.
Now i have to use 3. party programs to record information what my pc has analyzed. It feels very annoying to have many programs on background to work on same project. Would be much comfortable that those 3. stats had been merged into Boinc program.

私はBOINCのこの素晴らしいプロジェクトを偶然友人から教えて貰いそれがきっかけとなり参加させて頂いております。
しかしそれ以前、まだインターネットを始める前はTVや新聞などのネット以外の情報だけではプロジェクトの内容がよく解らずあまり感心を持っていませんでした。
ですからこの素晴らしい有益なプロジェクトをより多くの人々にもっと良く理解してもらうため限られた予算の中で大変でしょうが広報にもう少し力を入れてみてはどうでしょうか？
人類の知恵を平和と明るい未来の為に使い努力しているBOINCと世界中の参加者の皆様、新たな発見のためますますの御健闘を願っております。頑張って下さい。

Quelques éléments à améliorer :
- Visuel : tous les projets ne bénéficient pas d\'écran de veille. C\'est dommage. Et bien sûr ce serait encore mieux de pouvoir customiser les écrans.
- Programmation :
1) sous l\'onglet des projets, pour les personnes participant à plusieurs projets simultanément, un total de points serait le bienvenu sous travail effectué !
2) sous l\'onglet des tâches, il serait bien de pouvoir forcer un calcul en faisant un clic droit pour le lancer en \"High Priority\" jusqu\'à ce qu\'il soit finit. Cela éviterait de devoir mettre manuellement tous les autres projets en suspend lorsqu\'une tâche arrive au seuil de la date limite d\'envoi.
Sinon Boinc Manager est un utilitaire scientifique d\'avenir qui mérite des éloges.

Ce qui me gêne le plus pour les multiples projets existants sur BOINC c\'est le manque d\'uniformité dans l\'attribution des crédits ce qui en pénalise certains. Une distribution équitable des points serait bénéfique pour tous les projets quels qu\'ils soient en permettant de choisir de calculer sans le souci de savoir si tel projet ou tel autre \"rapporte\" plus.

Some of your help files are worthless. It takes me to dink around for a while and search and search search and search search and search search and search. LOL but I find it and I do like the screen savers.
I have been HIV for 19 years and currently full blown AIDS. I noticed that the screen saver doesn’t work in your latest version of BONIC 5.10.30 for World Community Grid; so went back down to version 5.8.16 and I have had no problems.

Une uniformité dans les crédits serait une bonne chose, car certains préfèrent parfois calculer pour un projet créditant plus qu\'un autre pour avoir le plus gros score.

-que le capitaine d\'équipe puisse supprimer de son équipe les membres fantômes ou les membres qui ne participent plus depuis de longs mois et qu\'un message informatif soit envoyé automatiquement à la personne éjectée de l\'équipe avec la raison.
-que le capitaine puisse communiquer réellement avec tous les membres de son équipe et pas seulement avec les personnes qui ont donné leurs adresses mails. Etant donné que l\'on passe par une interface qui ne révèle pas les adresses mails, je ne comprends pas pourquoi on ne peut pas envoyer de mails informatifs à tous les membres d\'une équipe. Si on s\'est inscrit dans une équipe, recevoir des informations de cette même équipe est quand même le minimum.
-Que les deux affirmations précédentes soient vraies pour tous les projets et pas seulement pour un ou deux.

Sure wish your instructions weren\'t so complicated. You have to be a computer geek to figure them out. Plus, I HAVE NEVER been able to get any help, so when BONIC quit running there was nothing I could do about it.
4:26 PM UTC, December 23 2007
More explicit 3D graphics (using OpenGl or Direct3D hardware acceleration) that don\'t consume more that 0.1% of CPU time. Also a little more understandable statistics for projects, since most users are not familiar with the statistics that projects provide. ( I think you should ask this to the projects\' creators and not do it yourselves as BOINC, afterall they understand what their projects is all about).
I can\'t think of any other improvements, helping humanity(ourselves) with BOINC is one of the best things we can apply our computers on.
God bless us all.
Kudos BOINC.

The newer BOINC versions (5.10.28 - 32) for the Mac are inferior performers and reflect the poor skills of the programmer(s); Mr. Alex Kan wrote an excellent high-performance version (distributed through the Team MacNN website) that runs ~4-5X faster than the current 5.10.32 version distributed through this site. Distributing these slow versions is a waste of computer resources, money, electricity, contributes to pollution, and retards the progress of science. Please engage a Mac programmer that can properly write, compile and build the code for the newest OSX (Leopard) operating system and takes advantage of the hardware technology for vector (Altivec & SSEn) calculations, large L2 caches, and multi-processor parallelism.

I use the Mac version of BOINC.
In Preferences it would be great if the setting for:
Use at most N% CPU time
was broken down as the memory setting is:
when computer is in use
when computer is idle.
I\'d love to be able to crank up CPU usage when I am not on the computer but mellow it out a bit when I am. I can do this manually with the Manager but automatic would be way cooler.

Thank you for a wonderful service!
I\'d like to see better handling of idle CPU on Windows hosts, where you have to limit the CPU usage down to e.g. 30% so that the fan stays silent most of the time.
It would be very nice, if it would work as smooth as on Linux, where using idle CPU cycles does not cause the CPU stepping to be increased (e.g. a laptop would stay at 600MHz and not go up to 1.8GHz when there is ~100% idle cpu usage).
I know that this is a windows problem in general, but maybe BOINC could autodetect when it causes Windows to increase the CPU stepping and then decrease the uses cycles).
Again, Thank you!

It would be nice if we (the users) could set boinc to run for x amount of hours, then take a break for x amount of time before to turns back on. This would be helpful for computers that get a little warmer than they should be and still be usefull to boinc/projects.
Or possibly if it could turn off/pause if your computer gets hotter than what you specify. So that it gives your computer some time to cool back down.
For me this would have been great to have. My computer was overheating for a good 4-6 weeks while running boinc *before I got around to blowing it out with compressed air*. So I had to watch it like a baby to make sure that it didn\'t get too hot and shut down my pc. Cleaned out its 30-40 Celsius cooler, and now runs at 40-60ish c, instead of 80-100 C.
Even some form of scheduler for boinc would be nice too. Since some people have things scheduled such as anti-virus, spybot search and destroy, or some other app that needs to run and eats a lot of cpu. Im not sure if windows already does this properly for boinc or not though. I\'ve never bothered to use that windows feature.

I really want to use the seti@home screen saver but it just does not work. The old seti@home worked great. But every since the migration to boinc, it just never worked. It always gives me some nonsense about the Boinc Application being suspended and it not working.
This is the Mac Version. I\'ve tried several version over the years on G4, G5, and intel class machines.

BOINC is a solid program and does its job very well. The only thing I can think of is for BOINC to reach more users. Perhaps more ways to spread the word about the program and associated projects.
10:41 AM UTC, January 06 2008

3:38 PM UTC, January 06 2008
I try and introduce people to boinc. For anyone computer literate it\'s fine, there is no learning curve to use the software.
However I think the project will only be able to be reallllly widespread when everything is made a little easier.
For example the whole adding projects business. It should not really NEED registration on a per-project basis. If a user could download BOINC, install, run (with little or no configuration) and select projects from a list with a centralised login, many more people would use it.
Also I would strongly recommend advertising exchange with charity websites, this may be more beneficial for individual projects however.
Keep up the good work, the Ubuntu 5.10.28 release is the best yet, much faster interface!

Der Screensaver sollte sich unter Vista nicht so oft aufhängen :-).
Man sollte auch auswählen können auf welcher Harddisk man den speicher zur verfügung stellen möchte.
Wenn ich andere anwendungen laufen habe, möchte ich dass Boinc das System nicht so auslastet, dass ich dies in Spielen zb mitbekomme (kein Ruckeln wegen Boinc im hintergrund).
Bezieht boinc auch GPUs in die rechenarbeit ein (man sollte ansonsten versuchen das zu machen)
Boinc könnte eine Temperaturüberwachung bekommen (CPU!!) und dazu einen Besseren Tageszeitplaner wo man genau die Zeiten in denenn man möchte dass Boinc arbeitet oder nicht eintragen kann.
Eine eingebaute shutdown funktion wäre toll (windows zu bestimmter uhrzeit, nach wechsel von Projekt herunterfahren)
Liebe Grüße!

Der Manager sollte überarbeitet werden.
z.B. sollte es einen reiter geben von wo aus man sämtliche projekte sehen kann und auch starten kann.
Dessweiteren wäre es sehr schön den Manager grafisch etwas aufzupeppen und eventuell skins zu zu lassen für jüngere teilnehmer bestimmt interessant.

12:53 AM UTC, January 08 2008
There are enhancement, that could be fun.
- enable and disable the pop-up\'s windows about connection, progression, etc. Because when I ran boinc on my office computer, I would like to hide these pop-up.
- Get more workunits by specifing a number. Actually we get wokunits by setting a period of connection with the server.
- Get workunits by using an other port because in my case, the port (at my office) are locked.
If I can get new workunit you will get a new computer for you project.
Thanks to you

BOINC client for windows could be improved. I need to switch between two networks often. For one I use proxy for another not. Each time I switch BOINC lost connection. it would be good idea to add automatic proxy detection into Options. It can be done by getting proxy setting from Internet Explorer registry.
4:05 PM UTC, January 09 2008
The administrators should be more involved in the projects forums and also they should post more news (see for example LHC@Home, it needs more partecipation)
Also, it would be nice to have a \"global boinc forum\" accessible from within the BOINC manager (maybe using a tab as a browser)
6:48 PM UTC, January 09 2008
What about taking advantage of GPU (Graphic Processor Unit) for processing power?
10:02 PM UTC, January 09 2008
You can use other computer components, for example graphic cards or soundcards or physics accelerators. Some of the people have old 3dfx accelerators and this can also be used.
5:51 AM UTC, January 10 2008
It would be really great if the Linux BOINC client had the same kind of nice graphics than the Mac or Win versions.
11:27 AM UTC, January 10 2008
It would be great if boinc could work on nvidia based gpu\'s. It is a known fact that graphics gpu\'s may do arithmetic operations, etc faster than a normal cpu. By that way, boinc could get more cpu power since it can use both normal cpu and graphics card\'s gpu. Moreover, it wouldn\'t affect user\'s experience!
3:19 PM UTC, January 10 2008
Boinc Manager: Project tab should indicate date/time of last contact with project.
Boinc Manager: should remember hosts AND PASSWORDS for other computers contacted (i.e. when a number of computers are managed through one manager). Better yet, should be a client page that summarizes state of each contacted client, updated periodically automatically (e.g., every n hours based on configuration).
Boinc clients - seem to occassionally get \"stuck\" and need manual restart. Should have a watchdog timer that at least can send email or let manager know that a client hasn\'t made any progress for an unusual amount of time.

What an Absolutely Fantastic way for Research Projects to be able to CRUNCH TONS of their DATA Via the BOINC Cruncher Application...
Individual Projects Need to CRITICALLY Add More Applications for the Macintosh Platform... Not just for the INTEL Mac Platform but ALSO, the Motorola Power PC G4 & G5 Units...

For example I could donate 5% all day while I work and 100% when my compter is idle at night.
8:30 PM UTC, January 11 2008
The preferences do not work properly on my work computer. Boinc is doing work when it shouldn\'t and accesses the web when it shouldn\'t. The only limiter that seems to work is the processor percentage. If I can\'t figure out how to get it to respect the other preferences I will have to remove it.

Make Boinc fully Vista compatible (so it is not blocked) to allow non-tech savy Vista users can participate easily.
2:57 PM UTC, January 12 2008
Was it \'switch between applications every x minutes\' or \'switch between applications between every x minutes\'?
In either case, I don\'t see any feature to switch to another application(s) ONLY when the current application is finished. I mean, I want BOINC to finish one application/work unit from a project first, then move to other application/work unit(s). That way, I can participate in many projects without having to switch between applications every \'certain periods of time\' coz it takes time to store and load from the PC\'s memory (read: wasting time and processor resources). However I want every project shares the same portion of my processor\'s resource. Which means, if project A needs 12 hours to finish a work unit while project B needs only 2 hours, then before crunching new work unit from project A again, BOINC should run 6 work units from project B first . (I know it sounds kinda complicated, but it\'s not, really. It\'s just I\'m not good at describing things =P)

Try first off by cleaning out old accounts. Then you might try adding Message Boards that don\'t require logging in.
I had this running on 2 computers, both running Vista. The screen saver was working fine on both, then for no reason I can find one machine starts just showing Boinc screensaver is shutting down, the other just goes blank. No changes were made to either. And I can\'t get help with the problem!!!
frodo@richpoor.net is my e-mail address. I can\'t use it because of an old dead account on your system.
2:34 AM UTC, January 13 2008
SETI is fine but uses a lot of computer resources. I liked and tried Rosetta@home and World Grid, but dropped them because of never-ending red-flashing messages saying nothing could be sent because I needed to free up more disc space. Nonsense. I set it, in preferences, to use 2, then 5 gigs. And, this is a new Toshiba with Vista, 2 gigs of ram, and a 200 gig hd.
I don\'t have the time to go research the problem on message boards, so just dropped all projects. May try again someday.

This is a tainted survey designed to reach a certain conclusion. You have asked no questions about the poor side of BOINC or the poor support from BOINC. You have provided no exceptions to the first question. Yes I am running BOINC but I stopped for a long time due to bad software. BOINC does very stupid things at times and it cannot be reported easily to anyone. I have long periods of time gone to other types of shared computing such as X-Grid. The questions about \"You\" have no legitimate place in this survey.

I periodically have my dual core laptop SHUT DOWN because it overheats. I have the settings to take 88% CPU time.
-------------
Here is the solution for PCs. Here is a request:
(1) Go here
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394493.aspx
(2) Implement this, to keep machines from overheating and SHUTTING DOWN, please.
Second I recommend you read this thread about how to get a CPU temperature by VB.net code. We can find a CPU temperature reading in the root\\WMI namespace, MSAcpi_ThermalZone Temperature class. Current Temperature is the CPU temp in 0.1 degrees Kelvin. We need to convert to Celsius by subtracting 2732 and dividing the result by 10. Also note that to measure the temperature of the CPU the users motherboard has to have a sensor. No sensor, no go. Here is the vb.net code snippet to get a CPU temperature.
Code Block
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Try
Dim searcher As New ManagementObjectSearcher( _
\"root\\WMI\", \"SELECT * FROM MSAcpi_ThermalZoneTemperature\")
For Each queryObj As ManagementObject In searcher.Get()
Dim temp As Double = CDbl(queryObj(\"CurrentTemperature\"))
temp = (temp - 2732) / 10.0
MessageBox.Show(temp.ToString)
Next
Catch err As ManagementException
MessageBox.Show(\"An error occurred while querying for WMI data: \" & err.Message)
End Try
End Sub
End Class

Bei der Boinc-Software und der Software der Projekte sollte eine open source-Lizenz immer Standard sein! Bei Webbasierten Anwendungen die selbstständig Daten über das WWW austauschen ist open source nach meiner Überzeugung grundsätzlich eine Vorraussetzung. Alles andere schadet dem Vertrauen! Zu viele Regierungen, gerade in unserer westlichen Welt sind nicht mehr vertrauenswürdig weil sie die Rechner ihrer Bürger auf hinterhältigste Weise ausspionieren. Von der freien Wirtschaft (aus marketinggründen) ganz zu schweigen. Überprüfen kann man als user aber nur open source. Das ist zum Beispiel auch einer der Gründe, warum man sich dazu entscheiden sollte, Microsoftprodukte zu meiden.
Ansonsten sind Boinc und Co. schon ganz OK.

Normally I\'d try to troubleshoot the problem that I was having, but I just don\'t have time right now so I removed the software from my computers. It\'s possible that it had something to do with trying to connect to the Internet when there wasn\'t a connection available, but in that case I\'d expect it to sit silently in the background and wait, not pop up error messages and I think the errors happened even with a connection. It would also be nice if it could be set to not pop messages up from the system tray saying that it\'s looking for a connection. If I\'m in the middle of something else and I\'m not connected to the Internet (or more likely on a VPN connection to another system that blocks outside access), I\'m not going to stop what I\'m doing just because BOINC wants something.

Uno de los ordenadores es un Intel Core2 Quad con Windows Vista Home Premium. Cada vez que apago el ordenador se pierden los trabajos que estuviesen en marcha en ese instante (Client Error); si no siempre, sí en un altísimo porcentaje de las veces. Ya hice la modificación indicada de ampliar a 20 segundos el tiempo para parar un servicio, pero sigue más o menos igual. Los proyectos pequeños si van acabando: los largos es imposible, ya que la probabilidad de que les pille un apagado cuando están en marcha es muy alta.
Si esto no se soluciona en breve, tendré que desligarme de proyectos con SETI@Home, Climateprediction, Einstein@Home, etc, donde no he conseguido finalizar ninguna tarea. Y la verdad, son en los que mayor interés tengo.

since i\'m really new to this and don\'t know a lot of computer lingo, etc. i\'d like to know some specifics about how much computer space this takes, does running more than one project greatly affect your computer. i guess something like boinc for dummies! ;-) i am glad i have found you and am telling my friends!

The BOINC client seems to be a little buggy. It does not always behave as one would expect.
For instance I am currently having the issue that it doesn\'t want to switch between projects. I have it set to switch every 60 minutes but I can not find a pattern to it\'s application switching behavior. It will stay on one project for up to 72 hours before switching to another one and it may be on the next one for 15 minutes to 72 hours before switching again...
I also do not like that each individual project requires a user id and password. I think it would be simpler and more efficient if one registered their user id and password with BOINC and it used the same one for every project that you participate it, behind the scenes, so that you do not have to be aware of it.
I also feel similar about the preference settings. I would prefer if they were all controlled from within the client rather from within the client or from the project website... which ever place you happen to find first. I think that is counterintuitive and confusing.
I would also like it if the stats and message log was stored on the project server so that when one upgrades to a new computer and restart their projects the BOINC client would remember the Statistics graph data as well as your message log data.
I love the whole idea and concept and am very enthusiastic about it. I just think the client and design structure are all a little weak and buggy. I just don\'t have the time to spend tweaking the BOINC client into working efficiently for each project on each machine.
It should be simpler and more intuitive.
Thank you.

1:00 PM UTC, February 06 2008
Créer un outils annexe ou une option dans Boinc qui permet de limiter l\'utilisation CPU à x% et ce sans dent de scie comme ce qui existe actuellement et qui limite effectivement à x% en calculant la moyenne. En effet, les dent de scie (100% puis 20 puis 100 puis 20...) à une fréquence élevée est dangereux à terme pour le processeur.
C\'est pourquoi pour l\'instant, je préfère laisser à 100% en permanence alors que j\'aurai aimé limiter à 85 ou 90 % certains de mes PC (trop de chauffe donc trop de bruit la nuit donc je les éteints).
1:18 PM UTC, February 06 2008
Avoir un système de limitation de l\'utilisation de la CPU qui fonctionne et qui ne soit pas en dents de scie. Me permettrait de laisser tourner mon Pc la nuit en limitant à 75% pour éviter le bruit de la ventilation => donc je l\'éteint !!
Cordialement.
2:32 PM UTC, February 06 2008
Améliorer la limitation CPU, pour quel varie moins, pour quel soit plus fixe serait un net progrès. Actuellement, la fréquence oscille trop, ce qui accélère le vieillissement de notre processeur et par conséquent notre ordinateur. Pour ma part, mon ordinateur est aussi mon outils de travail ; ce qui me dérangerai beaucoup si j\'étais amené à le perdre suite à une utilisation trop oscillante de mon processeur. En vous remerciant par avance.

Please create a boinc version for bsd / *nix that does not require graphics libraries, most of us that do not run Windows have no use for pretty graphics. I have several bsd and unix servers right now that are idle over 75% of the day but I cannot run boinc on them because of the graphics requirements.

1. Provide either self update or an easier way to determine if the version used is the latest version.
2. Tell those who use a screen saver that SOME of the computing power is being used for the screen saver, it might not be a lot but it is some. Advise the owner of system to set the screen to go blank during those times when no other tasks are being done on the system.

After the recent Berkley City Council vote that targeted the USMC I am seriously considering terminating my use of BOINC.

1. I had a TERRIBLE time figuring out which projects would run on my Mac. I had to visit each site, check specs, and even then it wasn\'t always clear, and STILL isn\'t. is there an \'official\' list of which BOINC projects run on Macs and if so, WHERE IS IT??? If none, PLEASE create and publish as a bulleted item on your web site - in this PC-centric world, it would be a real boon to new and even older contributors. This simple but chronically overlooked issue NEEDS to be CLEARed up, and only YOU can do it! (I can\'t even find this issue adequately addressed on any BOINC help site, either.)
2. Most projects are puzzlingly SLOW to credit work to my machine. It simply should not take sometimes a week or more to turn this data around and post it. Sometimes I wonder whether my results have really gotten through.
3. It isn\'t clear to me how fair and balanced the crediting system among projects really is. Are there standards which BOINC enforces?
4. I have shut some projects down because they feed me enormous, choking chunks of data that take literally many days of computing time to complete. If a computational error occurs, all that computer time is lost. Projects very much need to download data segments that take NO MORE than maybe half a day to complete. If an unfortunate error occurs, at least all of the other running projects don\'t suffer as well from the time lost.
5. Thanks and regards, Darryl W. Dockins dwdockins@charter.net

Manual priority selection of projects in BOINC Manager could be better.
1:50 PM UTC, February 21 2008
Mich würde an BOINC sehr gut gefallen wenn man einen \"Diese-WU-jetzt-bearbeiten-Button\" einrichtet.
Da ich bei vielen Projekten angemeldet bin sind auch oft mehrere WUs angefangen. An sich kein Problem, aber manchmal braucht eine dieser WUs nur noch 1-3Minuten um fertig zu werden, oder ich möchte (warum auch immer) gerade nur diese WU berechnen lassen.
Da wäre so ein Button oder die Möglichkeit eines kleinen Kontext-Menüs mit der möglichkeit diese WU jetzt berechnen zu lassen sehr hilfreich.
Ebenso könnte man an einigen Rechner mit 2 (oder mehr) Kernen an Effizienz gewinnen wenn man bereits im BOINC-Manager einstellen könnte welche Projekte bevorzugt welchen Kern benutzen ... aber das wäre mir nicht so wichtig wie die erste Funktion mit dem Button =)
Und natürlich immernoch, mehr Werbung etc. Vielleicht stärkere Förderung \"neuer Projekte\" ...
Ansonsten: Macht weiter eure super Arbeit!

5:17 AM UTC, February 24 2008
A minor issue: If a project is not available for a certain platform, instead of allowing the BOINC Manager to let that project attach, perhaps it should make a note of that fact, and deny the Attach. For example, from a Linux platform, I attached to Spinhenge, which daily connected to its website and reported \"no workunits for platform linux*x86\" (or something close).

userteams, die sich so arrangieren erhalten, meiner meinung nach, nur sehr wenig bis keine anerkennung vom boinc-team...
die übersaetzung der BOINC webseite könnte / müsste / sollte viel besser und umfangreicher sein!
(auch geht mir die BOINC entwicklung zu schnell, man kommt kaum nach sich über alles zu informieren, schon gibt es wieder was neues...)

i think its a very good idea this whole thing, to help data process, but it would be better to process that so much data in smaller units!!!
So, it is a very long period to process one work, you should make more less pieces, and then the users will be more satisfield and they may do more process.
And also get the users more credit for their work, and it is a stimulating thing, so they maybe do more work with their computer!!!

I love BOINC. I have tried repeatedly to get my employers to sign on to projects. My currently company is Morgan Stanley and at least I got great feedback from the IT professionals - much better than the rest. Nevertheless, I am impatient and I want millions of people to sign up and run BOINC all day. Would it be possible for BOINC to be made part of Windows, or at least preinstalled for free on all new computers?

I would like to see a tag that tells me some information about what my sysytem is working on. It does not have to be detailed. It can be simple and short.
7:13 PM UTC, March 09 2008
When I first started to use Linux (recently) I had a very hard time to get it going onopenSUSE. This could have been quickly resolved with a \"complete IDIOTS guide to BOINC\". The information currently available is very fragmented and assumes a high understanding of LINUX.

Scheduling.
I have a number of LHC@Home work units pending with less than 48 hours until they are due to be submitted. Yet the client is instead running Einstein@home work units, which are not due for another 2 weeks. Both projects have equal priority on my machines. This is happening on both my Windows and Linux clients.
I should not have to manually suspend a project in order to meet a deadline on another project.
11:58 PM UTC, March 09 2008
As I stated above, I have had to stop being a part of 3 projects because even though it states on their websites that everything is up and running, I get no work units. I am donating my processor time, and it is kind of insulting that for 2 weeks...nothing, so obviously there\'s something wrong. The big one for me was Malaria, and I would like to still be a part of that, but no work units are sent to me. The only one that does work is Climate Prediction. Also, could you explain these credits a little bit more? Can you redeem them for swag, or prizes?
Thank you.
Thank you.

Il serait bien de pouvoir choisir deux valeurs d\'utilisation de CPU pré-configurées pour BOINC
1ère : quand on utilise l\'ordinateur
2ème : quand on est en mode économiseur d\'écran
3:42 PM UTC, March 11 2008
Pouvoir donner à un projet, et pas seulement à une WU, un core de CPU (pr quad, octo et +).
ClimatePrediction étant très long, il s\'arrête après quelques heures de calculs pr laisser du temps CPU aux autres projets! Le fait de mettre 18000 mns à \"switch between applications between every\" fais tourner continuellement les autres projets en \"high running\" en laissant de côté C.P.
Pour ma part il serait bien d\'ajouter l\"affinity CPU\" dans le BOINC officiel et pas seulement dans le BOINC studio.

Thanks for finally providing a 64-bit SETI@home client (or at least fixing the platform name check so that the 32-bit client works on a 64-bit Ubuntu Linux system)!

We need some kind of central admin program to manage the status of our large network of all-BOINC-enabled computers- to check which computers are crunching, which are idle, and exercise more immediate and global control over BOINC than the web-admin facilities provide.

Meer interactie met de gebruiker en meer informatieve screensavers.
Dit ontbreekt echter vaak aan de projecten. Bijvoorbeeld bij LHC@Home is totaal onduidelijk wat geanalyserd wordt.
De punten doen mij er (nog) niet toe. Ze zijn een niets zechend getal. Een systeem met rankings zou beter zijn. Bij een dergelijk aantal punten krijgt de gebruiker meer verwachtingsvole pakketen toegestuurd. Dit maakt naar mijn idee, wanneer meer interactie wordt toegepast, het programma aantrekkelijker te maken.

12:12 AM UTC, March 14 2008
The way Boinc uses multi-core processors is very ineffective. It is stupid to run several WUs from the same project simultaneously. Boinc should let me assign cores to projects so that each core would always crunch a WU from a different project.
3:44 AM UTC, March 14 2008
I want to control the CPU useage flexibility in different time.
For example: I want to use 100% CPU useage during my lunch time. Use 50% in my working hours. An than Use 100% CPU useage when i leave the office.
Morning - Lunch : Use 50% CPU useage
Lunch time : Use 100% CPU useage
Afternoon - get off : Use 50% CPU useage
Night : Use 100% CPU useage
At this moment, i only set to use 50% CPU useage all day to prevent affect my working.

i signed up for seti, and then 2 others, then went and signed up for BAM manager, but my 3 projects won\'t pull in to BAM.. -saying the password\'s wrong..
my friend said i don\'t need the manager, so i may just uninstall it..
i hope i can get it to work correctly..
i quit seti 9 yrs. ago because it kept locking up my machine..
i love your site tho, and love the causes/projects..
i really want to make this work.. -and then i\'ll install on my wife\'s machine, and then maybe here at work too..

Sometimes the running tasks switch even though the task was at 100% and just needs a couple more seconds to finish. It would be good if BOINC notices this and waits for the task to finish before switching.
Keep up the good work!

It could be more informative about the work it is doing, like details about the chunk of work and similar.
10:28 PM UTC, March 16 2008
Not sure if it is a BOINC, OS or hardware Problem, but on some PCs due to failed Energy Management the CPUs are running at total CPU speed, while some do there job at lowest CPU-Rate ... so on some Plattforms it is not just using unneeded CPU Power (eg. with Intel Core2 E6400 the energy consumption was 200W instead of 120W (low cpu rate)). Some People I know stopped using BOINC because they do not want a higher electricity bill because of that.

Regarding LHC@HOME
I am thinking about dropping LHC@HOME !
They need to change their software since my harddrives constantly are performing read/write operations !
Several per second !
THIS WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO WEARING DOWN MY HDD\'S !!
If you can make some changes, it would be nice.
I\'ve tested turning the other projects off, just to figure out wich one was responsible for this, and the problem is only originating from LHC@home.

SETI@home: localitzar l\'objecte d\'analisi a Google Earth
11:24 AM UTC, March 23 2008
Ik gebruik BOINC voor Seti@home, en het valt me op dat je vaak lang moet wachten voordat je je credits krijgt.
Dit komt omdat andere gebruikers soms veels te veel WU\'s in de wacht hebben staan (soms wel meer dan 500!!).
Dit is helemaal niet nodig, als er een WU is gecruncht, dan wordt hij gerapporteerd, en wordt er gelijk een nieuwe aangevraagd en gedownload.
Is het niet mogelijk dat BOINC voor Seti zo afgesteld wordt dat de gebruiker nooit meer dan 5 WU\'s in de wacht
heeft staan (ongeveer 1 dag), en dat de gebruiker dat zelf
NIET kan verhogen.
Het voordeel is dat je nooit lang op je wingman hoeft te wachten of op je creditpunten.
Op deze manier is er ook bijna geen kans meer dat een WU te laat wordt gecruncht.
In de Boincstats staan ook nog allemaal gebruikers die al 2 tot 8 jaar zijn ingeschreven maar nog geen punt hebben gescoord, waarom worden die niet gewoon gewist??.
Het is toch wel duidelijk dat die mensen zich gewoon uit nieuwsgierigheid hebben aangemeld, en er niets mee hebben gedaan omdat ze er niets aanvonden, of het te ingewikkeld vonden of wat dan ook.
Deze \'gebruikers\' overbelasten de computers alleen maar tijdens het updaten van de statistieken.
4:30 PM UTC, March 23 2008
ich finde das man boinc nach wie vor nicht gut konfigurieren kann. ich verwende boincstats als projektmanager und kofiguriere meine boinc manager damit und ich habe manchmal das gefühl nach einer neukonfiguration passiert nichts.
außerdem lade ich mir immer arbeit für eine woche runter, da ich einen laptop besitze, der nicht immer am internet hängt. wenn ich viele aufgaben habe springt der manager immer zwischen den aufgaben hin und her ohne etwas richtig zu beenden. es wäre daher schön, wenn boinc auch chronologisch arbeiten kann.

Need E-mail address for help. Why don\'t any of the projects I signed up for ever use my computer. I signed on for Ihcathome, uFluids, Riesel Sieve Project. The BOINC Manager signs in and makes computer available everytime I open up computer. Message is Scheduler succeeded received 0 Tasks.
This doesn\'t work for me. Either put my computer to use or tell me it is not needed. Leaving it on in this way for over 3 months is not useful. By the way just to test the system I left the computer active for an entire weekend and still no tasks received.
Please have someone , somewhere contact me and advise why system doesn\'t work. I would not recommend anyone sign up for what I thought was a great idea.

1. Have consistent user interfaces between computing platforms (Windows vs Linux vs ...) That way the help files and error messages have some hope of making sense.
2. The error message:
BOINC Manager is not currently connected to a BOINC client.
Please use the \'File\\Select Computer...\' menu option to connect up to a BOINC client.
To connect up to your local computer please use \'localhost\' as the host name.
Is completely useless and makes no sense. On the Linux 5.4 version the File menu option has only one entry - EXIT.
3. Your survey might like to include another section on ease of setup. Perhaps \"How many hours of time did you spend trying to get the software to run correctly\"
4. Get a psych major to help out with the user interfaces, NOT a programmer.
5. Remember your users want a project for their computer, not for themselves.

If published research arose from BOINC processing, a brief e-mail to a source of the report would be appreciated. Sometimes I forget about BOINC for weeks, even if it\'s been running continuously, so a reminder about how I\'m contributing to science would be appreciated. Just an e-mailed link to a source for the article would be sufficient. I hardly visit the BOINC website, so an announcement there would be overlooked. Distributed computing this might be, and tempting to wait for exciting results alone, but an individual computer user is the bottom line and should be attended to.
10:47 AM UTC, March 29 2008
Less technical help files would be useful. It\'s still a little \'geeky\' and difficult to resolve some issues for the non-technically minded.

Have settings for wheng when boinc can run, add when it cant run. (advanced > Pref > Computing allowed) make a Computing not allowed. This would be particularly useful in business enviroments where server and workstations are utilized. Being able to say dont use the system durring business hrs but you can use it the rest of the time would be nice.
Make the screen saver so it is an option to only show the boinc logo. I don\'t personaly like the glitsy one, and dont like blank screen savers, but the boinc logo is cool. shows that the sys is on and functioning but doesnt take up alot of cpu cycles.
Show how many hours have been worked on by a user and each computer, also show average credits per hour.
Aliasing of computer ID\'s ie allow the naming of them so when a user is looking at the info on the web site he doesnt have to know each computers ID # but the user has named them so they know what the system is.

First of all you could have a more accessible team.

Can we get a button to force a restart on a work unit? Or fix this weird standby error?

You could start by actually hiring someone/getting a volunteer who actually knows how to construct and conduct a web-based survey properly with valid and meaningful questions. Even your demographic questions are ridiculous (20-year age groupings? Are you kidding?). No questions on BOINC version/versions being used? No questions about which projects one doesn\'t/won\'t participate in and why?
More importantly, nowhere at BOINC or any of the projects is there any mentions of protections afforded to research participants which would govern most BOINC projects (e.g., How to get to the institutions IRB, grant numbers, etc.).

When I first installed BOINC, the screensaver seemed to take a long time to switch off when I moved the mouse. This was quite annoying if I actually wanted to do some work, or the boss came in and wanted to see something (in which case it is embarrassing). Therefore, I run BOINC from 8pm to 8am. It would be nice if it could run all the time during the weekend, or you were able to make the screensaver switch off quickly.

I believe that could be more popular in the Ubuntu world if it were offered in a .deb file. This would allow for up to date, reliable and easily installable files for many people. Ubuntu repositories house an outdated version of boinc and the Linux installer of this website could be easier.

Get American Idol or some other high exposure media channel to promote the work - Oprah, The View. Write articles for Time or something like that. Everyone\'s \"talking\" green - show how BOICs can use the \"wasted\" CPU cycles that are already consuming energy.

I would improve date and timestamp checking of the work units during computing. Maybe I would debug logging during computing or something like that.
It shall be able to run independently of the LOCAL time of the computer (which can be set in the future or in the past). Even independent on a small change in the local time.
Because when I RESTORED my data to a new HDD when the old has broken I was disappointed to see it FREEZES computing of probably any running project: ClimatePrediction.net, Spinhenge@home : stopped computing (frozen) after 5 minutes.
Just try it, please. I consider it a bug.
My local time is: 2007-02-12 (RRRR-MM-DD) and time 03:55.
WOW!
Rosetta@home has JUST FROZEN too!!! :(
WHEN I just reverted time to 00:07 to keep the trial program in \"(1 days left)\" state! After that ROSETTA (or ANY project) is immediatelly frozen - stopped computing.
I cannot SET my time to TODAY, yet , nor let it run into next day - because of my trial period of Image for Windows I want to use tomorrow to create a new bootable DvD backup of my \"C:\" on new HDD.
With greetings

I\'ve been using BOINC for about a month now and I have to say that from a user perspective the software completely sucks. It\'s interface needs lots of polish and it\'s really confusing to manage the BOINC server. I mean really confusing. From the user perspective, there\'s only a few things they\'ll ever do with boinc... start it... connect to projects... stop it... I\'ve had major trouble at each stage at various points. I tried to get a friend to use it and he couldn\'t even figure out how to get it to work. It\'s really discouraging and I\'m considering quitting using BOINC.

Please, urge BOINC project maintainers to start supporting FreeBSD (and other BSDs) natively. The client and server have been ported, but without pre-compiled project executables, those inclined are all forced to run Linux executables under emulation or even the whole client+apps under Wine. Others just leave.
There\'s huge potential in BSD platforms, considering the number of servers worldwide that run it.

If you REALLY care about bringing the number of participants back to previous levels and more, you will duplicate EXACTLY the old screensaver and make it easily available. There will always be the participants who chime in with \"but you get more work done with the CPUs not involve in the screensaver, the monitor uses up too much...blah, blah, blah\". Guess what. MOST folks don\'t care about quantity or speed. Taking that away was a publicity fiasco. It was free advertising. People LOVED it. It really was the reason many people joined and stayed. They wanted to contribute to a good thing, and that was their return, something pretty to look at. And, no, the new approximation is nowhere near as good-looking, even when customized. I\'d bet that you\'d get at LEAST 1,000 contributors back if it were reinstated. It would take a while, but it would happen. I enjoyed zoning out looking at it. It was a kind of zen perfection. Try it for a year, with a simple switch for the serious crunchers to disable it. Not everyone is a science person, and it was demeaning to them to imply that what was important to them really wasn\'t. From a marketing point of view, you blew it big time, and you do need marketing. Heck, just running a sample of the classic on any website that a user wanted (like a logo, but active), where allowed, would bring folks into the projects. Thanks.

keyword: communication skills.
good: S@H, project staff quick to respond to problems;
even if they don\'t have an immediate solution, the
participants know at least someone is taking them
serious.
bad: graz.at, organisers seem to have disapeared in

interesting, but made a 180 turnaround after reading

Dat vind ik nu nog ietwat voorbarig, daar ik nog maar ruim 4 maanden AKTIEF deelneem aan SETI@home.
Bij de vraag \'computers\', zou misschien beter \'cores\' kunnen staan. Omdat er steeds meer Dual & Quad-cores, gebruikt worden. Dit bedacht ik me net bij het beantwoorden van de vraag : hoeveel computers?
8:36 AM UTC, April 24 2008
I don\'t really have a problem with Boinc. But what\'s really important to me are that all projects have a consistant credit system and that deadlines are reasonable. Waiting 3+ months for credit can be pretty disheartening. Also, a means to notify a participant when they\'re comnputers are pulling in huge numbers of workunits and then they are time expired and still sending them out in bulk. Example:
Participant has 250 wu\'s. Every day for 3 weeks computer connects gets 10 to 15 new wu\'s when the oldest 10 or 15 expire that day. You\'re waiting 3 weeks for the original wu to expire so it can be resent and then waiting for that person to return it so it can be validated.
I guess that\'s about it.

hi,
boinc view is very critical tool for boinc deployment in corporate networks. but boincview is lame application with poor interface and many bugs, including boinc as-service installations (even unable to detect it).
please spend a few days / weeks of time of a few good programmers to reprogram / enchance excellent release of boincview manager for multiple boinc networking instaaltions to let it run at a few dozens of office computers overnight with very easy 1-place managenment PC

I would like more options available for setting the time of day that boinc runs. I would like it to run in the evenings, mornings and all weekend but not during work hours. Or have the option that during certain hours the cpu usage maybe 30-40% during work hours but all other times it is at 100%.
The reason for this is I have a loud fan with a variable speed to it. If I keep the cpu usage down then the fan does not come on and it is not annoying to me an my co-workers. But after hours when nobody is here, I could care less how noisy the fan is.

I\'ve been having a VERY frustrating time trying to join a few new projects. When I go to join it ask for an email address and a password. Well it\'s been a long time since I made any changes so I don\'t remember my password. So when I type my email address and try entering a password it says an account w/ that address already exist w/ a different password. This is the only site I have ever encounter where you need a password but no means of having it sent to your email address should you forget it.

You could provide us with more information about project/institution involved on each project.
Would be beneficial to know, and could help others to get involved, if there were info about non profitable projects available and their supporting institutions. Usually their web pages say nothing about.
I´d be very disappointed if my effort-time, etc goes for someone making millions...
If you can\'t have so much info in your web, ask/require the institutions to provide it openly in order to participate in Boinc...

I wish I could get WUs for some of the projects, like Cosmology@home, or find out why I can\'t get work, no even resends. Cosmology@home has over 95,000 WUs ready to send, but server does not send anything. I\'m not the only one not getting ork from them and they don\'t seem to be aware of the posts complaining about it. LHC@home at least posts on the home page that they are out of work. I was away from BOINC and the projects after having my computer stolen and I\'m just getting back to them. I no longer have the email account from which I originally registered because they ceased service. I don\'t have the original passwords for the projects, so I had to set up new accounts. I would really live some mechanism by which I could have the old and new accounts merged.

Please make a way to even out the amount of granted credit between the different projects. Some are way to high and some depressingly low. I don\'t crunch just for credit, but I also don\'t want to waste my time on a project that only gives 1/4 the credit of others.
Also it would be nice to make the boinc client smart enough to download project apps depending on what processor type you have (such as an app with SSE2, SSE3 optimizations).

Frequently update easily found news about progress toward the target. For example, SETI@home should have a more easily found, frequently update, and easily understood summary on progress toward finding intelligent life.
A nicer \"simple\" view. It should be nicer looking, and offer a few more features.
Improved GUI widgets in \"advanced\" view. Try using the Boinc manager in Linux with a dark theme. The area with the tasks becomes unreadable. There is a white border around a lot of the components.
No matter what theme you are using in Linux, the category titles look completely different from \"Projects, Tasks, and Transfers\" to\"Messages\". Messages\' \"Project, Time, Message\" widgets are a lot larger and unsortable. The seperator widget for the others looks ugly too.
8:28 AM UTC, August 05 2008
1. Show project debits.
2. Allow me to download new work units, and specify completion date (perhaps after a week of being off line), currently UPDATE says \"Requesting 0 seconds of work\", but maybe I really did want 500000 seconds due in 10 days.
3. Be able to guarantee that long work units (like climateprediction HadCM3 that runs for 9 months) runs on dual processors (and hyper threaded) if available; and let the 2nd processor rotate between all the other workunits between several different projects.
4. Have a \"Suspend after checkpoint\" so as to not waste cpu time on computations that won\'t be written out when project suspends, when you are getting ready to shutdown computer.
5. Let users specify a round robin between projects, or earliest due date first.
6. Memory, disk & swap space #\'s are confusing when we set them as Preferences.

dang -- I\'ve had work credits disappear, earlier computers run at a crawl, work not accepted by world community grid (my main site) -- trouble sending in units -- and soon I\'ll have a LOT more trouble as I\'ll be running BONIC on 3-5 computers on a net work -- maybe one project per comptuer, not sure yet -- but the main thing is that I was told to re-install and I did and all units disappeared, a friend said to uninstall all BONIC and the old SETI to get rid of what might have been residual and conflicting commands, and again all work units disappeared -- and so I don\'t know what all to think -- but know it\'s a work in progress and mankind will benefit, so things are still OK with the world, despite the fact that gas was $1.46 a gallon when Bush took office.

Clearer direction/info on how to run projects more efficiently. For example, my slowest computer gets the most work units, and regularly misses deadlines.

make it easier to setup for a novice

Have a nice day!

1) I saw this feature in BoincWCG project: users can download BOINC client with the project already attached. I would like to see the feature to download client which is:
* already attacked to several selected projects
* already assigned to some nickname and team (using weak account key)
2) In client, option to flush DNS caches automatically by timer
3) Wiki-style translation of project sites, with easy admins approval
-------
People, you do awesome work!

Nothing

setup on headless (console-only) linux could be a bit more straightforward.. i\'m still looking for instructions on client configuration files.

Re: Astropulse: Am really solely interested in doing SETI but doing Astropulse additionally is OK if still primarily doing SETI.
THANKS FOR ENABLING US TO PARTICIPATE! I am a disabled archaeologist, so this allows me to still do some science.

Ich habe momentan eine Aufgabe vom Climateprediction.net. Die Aufgabe ist so groß, dass sie bis 2010 läuft. Da mache ich mir Sorgen wegen der Datenkonsistenz. Wenn mein Rechner mal abschmiert sind bestimmt viele Daten weg. Daher wäre ich für kleinere Aufgaben, gerade da mein PC nicht 24h läuft.

Creo, que estan bien de esta forma

Many people has the PC running only from time to time, so may be nice to have the option to select which \"weight\" of the WU the client should download.
Say for example: not more than XX hours expected to complete.

The WCG screensaver needs to be made higher resolution, so it can fit the screen. The screensaver currently appears as a small box on a large screen (Fight AIDS at Home).
Also, newer versions of the client are released without information. A BOINC Automatic Update system would be useful.

J\'ai essayé GPUGrid.net, mais j\'ai arrêté au bout d\'une journée, car cela ralenti l\'affichage des pages internet.
J\'ai aussi essayé Folding@home avec Cuda, car j\'ai une carte graphique 8600M GS, mais j\'ai arrêté au bout de 10 jours car j\'ai réussis à envoyé une unité de travail sur 15. En effet cela plantait : \"Unstable Machine\", par contre aucun ralentissement de l\'ordinateur et GPU à 100 % et un CPU à moins de 5 % contrairement à Boinc qui utilise un GPU à 100 % et un CPU à 100 %.
Il faut apporter des efforts sur les GPU : car par exemple la GeForce 280 : 620 GFLOPS mesurés.
CPU Quad à 3,0 Ghz : 42 GFLOPS mesurés (14 fois moins).
En effet cela est du gaspillage matériel que d\'avoir une carte graphique qui est sous exploité en naviguant sur internet.
Avant d\'utiliser BOINC, mon processeur été utilisé à 8 % en moyenne en navigant sur internet.

le logiciel boinc et simple d\'utilisation
mais je trouve un peu dommage de l\'economiseur d\'écran si peu paramétrable malgré qu\'il soit jolie
personnellement je n\'aime pas le voir tourné dans tout les sens

Seems like better support of the projects from a BOINC perspective would help some of them. Cosmology comes to mind as they still generate work units that stall on down loads from time to time.
Great improvement from the old SETI days in that I can have other projects that will use my system when SETI is down.

The \"nice-looking screensaver graphics\" do NOT exist in GNU/Linux.
Only in Window$, WHY ???
GNU/Linux users are contributing too.
Respect all.

I can\'t use it because I can\'t get it to install properly!

zeitkritische WUs die aufgrund mangelnder CPU Leistung nicht fertig werden können bis zur Deadline gar nicht erst downloaden. Beispiel: Ich downloade eine WU, die in 340 Stunden auf einem älteren Computer berechnet werden soll, die Deadline ist aber bereits in 250 Stunden. Der Computer hat selbst bei 24h Full Speed keine Chance damit rechtzeitig fertig zu werden.
