11) Message boards : Number crunching : No problems (Message 989)
Posted 5892 days ago by Westsail and *Pyxey*


I\'m not though (at least not since SONY made the firmware update and trashed my PS3). I\'m nearly certain that my problems stem from bad utilization of the SPE\'s. It should not be possible for two projects to crunch during the same time but whenever yoyo and PS3GRID crunch together all they do is fight and thus trash the BOINC manager. Nothing short of a *complete* reinstall of BOINC solves this problem.

This happened for the last time about a week ago and since then I have turned my PS3 off and will not turn it on again until this problem is fixed by either BOINC, yoyo, PS3GRID or some other party. This project is one with very much potential but the wasted cycles do nothing but drive my electricity bill up. I\'ll keep watching the boards but enough is enough as far as I\'m concerned.

I have run the pen drive, ydl 5 and currently ydl 6.

The only major problems I have EVER had are each and every time I attempt to crunch YOYO! As long as ps3grid is the only project I am attached it just plugs along like a clock. There was a one time small issue with the new WU where they were restarting from the begining each time but this was brilliantly and quickly taken care of.

Personally I would love to thank everyone who contributes and the whole team for this project. I would never have bought a PS3 otherwise.

Keep up the Great work guys! I can only hope another project comes online because I want another ps3 but can\'t justify it with only one REAL project available.

Peace!
