Hi all: Why is session 450 taking so long - seems to be in snooze mode - Can anything be done to speed it up? Mark Reiss  |

I belive Session 450 is in \"snooze mode\" by purpose. I think they are testing the background redering mode. You can read more about it here: http://burp.boinc.dk/forum_thread.php?id=818 |

It is going slowly, but as the previous poster mentioned, it\'s probably on purpose. I\'ve been getting some rather large session 450 WU lately. By large, I mean that it\'s taking over a day to crunch them and I get very close to being late on returning the WU. THis is NOT because of a slow machine, since those that run BURP have at least 1 GB of memory and a P4 or better. I also have some pending credit from over 2 weeks ago for session 450 WU that I\'ve already crunched, but waiting for a 3rd result to compare it to. Since the session is in snooze mode, I guess the scheduler isn\'t in a hurry to send out that extra copy of the WU to complete those WUs. Mark Mark

Most work units in session 450 take longer than my MTBRW (mean time between rebooting Windows). So a lot of cpu time gets wasted. Oh well, I guess that\'s how things are, in Testing Land. |

Either your sessions are taking a really long time... Or you installation of Windows really sucks! Click here to see My Detailed BOINC Stats

 14 seconds to render on a Geforce 8500 with no extra settings in Gelato. 1 minute by maxing out every setting (16 levels of ray trace, Ambient occlusion, etc). Conclusion: Gelato is still in its infancy and a better Blender Gelato exporter is needed. Methinks Gelato is more Maya friendly at the moment. Gelato |

Is that supposed to be a frame from 450? Still, it will be very exciting to see Blender/Gelato working together in the future... Yet another processor to produce BOINC credit! Click here to see My Detailed BOINC Stats
