Activity monitor shows that boinc process is not responding, but crunching still continues (although it does seem a fraction slower). 12427 BOINC KeithMacPro 3.0 3 30.56 MB 959.27 MB Intel 12429 boinc (Not Responding) boinc_master 0.2 1 3.11 MB 849.16 MB Intel 30268 hadam3p_um_6.08_ boinc_project 76.2 2 196.22 MB 848.49 MB Intel 30474 hadam3p_um_6.08_ boinc_project 72.5 2 195.68 MB 848.49 MB Intel 30261 hadam3p_6.08_i68 boinc_project 0.1 2 3.03 MB 590.64 MB Intel 30469 hadam3p_6.08_i68 boinc_project 0.1 2 3.03 MB 590.64 MB Intel I have tried to fathom out why this process should cease responding, but cannot see what causes it happening quite often. It is easily rectified by quitting BOINC and restarting, which only loses a small amount of crunching from the previous SavePoint. It obviously is not crucial to the processing, but I am curious to know why this process is repeatedly ceasing it'e response. Keith |

If it helps anyone to solve this mystery, here is a \"sample\" of the \"boinc\" process running normally:-- Sampling process 264 for 3 seconds with 1 millisecond of run time between samples Sampling completed, processing symbols...

I will not restart Boinc Manager (to make the boinc process active again) until these 2 zip files have been transferred when the cpdn-upload1.comlab server has been put back on line. Keith |
