The queue is exhausted at this moment.

Hi Greg! Because these were the last tasks. There won't be any new ones for a while.

Hello! Looks like network outages. Server load is constant (in average) and not great for it.

Hi folks! Greg, thank you for message.

We have started creating new tasks for x86, for target # 11, "corona_Sprot_delta_v1", in parallel to ARM-tasks. They will be relatively short and the queue of tasks may be exhausted sometimes.

Good luck!

May be useful for running ARM application: ARM Linux App.

I read there is adaptive replication to deal with these cases. https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/wiki/Adaptive-Replication

It is a good idea. Values from template can be overrided for some fraction of workunits during tasks generation.

You have anticipation of when lots of x86 work will resume?

I don't know. We doesn't have next target, simply.

So someone was cheating Sidock credits to win some silly competition?

Looks that someone tried to convert competition to silly thing.
A ridiculous story comes to mind in such cases:

Bear, wolf, fox and hare are playing cards.
A bear says: "Don't cheat! Whoever cheats will get a kick by brazen auburn muzzle!"

Good luck!

An explanation is needed, of course. At this moment we have two applications: "Longs tasks" and "short tasks". Applications identical by sense and source code. For "Long tasks" we perform generation of tasks for main search that need much more CPU time per task. We send these to computers with x86-64 platform. Workunits for "Short tasks" much more shorter due to properties of target and search goals. We send these to ARM-based computers.
Now don't have another target right now.
After ending of "ebola_GP_v1" we will try return to generation of "Short tasks" for x86-64 platform, but presumably, they won't be enough for full load.

... and we will be fining fairly. >:D

Initial Replication == 1 allows us to shows our best and worst sides, but option # 1 is preferable due to:
1. Relationships to other participants;
2. There is a bear's paw for every cunning fox;
3. My script is much more might.

As I write Target 23 is 75.501% complete. Will be interesting to see what the next Target we work on will be

Hello! It looks like there will be ARM-only tasks for a while.

Hi! Yes, first portion of workunits have 1 day deadline, subsequent workunits must get 2 days deadline. Required settings already applied.

Any way to split the requirement into smaller segments? that target 1.5 to 2 hour runtimes??

Expected task average computing time ~1.5 .. 3 hours, but due to nature of new target, not workunits splitting.

Hello! Sample workunits for target "ebola_GP_v1" issued. They will be followed by a tail of "corona_RdRp_v2" tasks.
Thank you for participation!

What is the estimation of the end date of corona_RdRp_v2 ?

One or two months, I expect.

Hello! The next target will be processed on CPU only and it will be much shorter. Hope that Marko tell about scientific background.

Is it ok if i run short tasks using app_info.xml and compiled cmdock?

Yes. What keys you use for application compilation?

Hello! :)
Presumably, BOINC should balance everything after gathering statistics for tasks calculations. Give it one or two weeks of work.
