Posted 29 Mar 2023 by mikey Post: The WUs that are running should complete soon and I’ll confirm when they do. WOO HOO!!! You may have just solved a problem since the beginning of Boinc!! I sure hope so anyway!!! You should get that adde4d to the Wiki page of Boinc errors. |

Posted 28 Mar 2023 by mikey Post: The newer 2.02 units seem to be completing ok, one puzzle that remains is inconsistent granted credit, in some cases a variation of up to 25% for the same computer. That's what happens when you use an algorithm to figure out credits instead of a fixed amount. |

Posted 28 Mar 2023 by mikey Post: I have just restarted my secondary pc after a year’s absence and I’m seeing many WUs crashing with the above exit code, mostly after a few seconds. (So far no WUs have successfully completed but a couple are running ok). It's not confined to the SiDock Project so probably a workunit config that works on most systems but not on every one for some reason...I don't know. https://yafu.myfirewall.org/yafu/forum_thread.php?id=305#1157 Now that thread is from 2018 but I see it on other Projects as well. |

how long can "long tasks" be?
(Message 1926)
Posted 22 Jan 2023 by mikey Post: At least it's not 10 credit; not what you'd expect for 309k sec but over 1k. Probably true but not very cost efficient to replace half a dozen or more pc's just to run tasks here. I realize that there are 'issues' with just saying 'add multi-threaded tasks' but if you find the time it really would help those of us with the Intel cpu's that could use it. |

Posted 22 Jan 2023 by mikey Post: Is multithreaded planned here? Are we getting lazy in our old days there ol buddy? LOL!!! To me crunching is crunching and my pc's crunch 24/7 whether it's 1 cpu core per task or multiple cpu cores per task, the only problem for me is the deadlines with my older 2.?ghz machines. mikey |

Posted 16 Jan 2023 by mikey Post: I had been running SiDock on one of my laptops (NOT this computer) but inadvertently removed it. Now I cannot find it in the list to add it back as a project. How can I do that? In the Boinc Manager go to add project and delete the website address in the box and type in sidock.com/sidock/ and it should bring you to the log in page. |

Posted 16 Jan 2023 by mikey Post: Project reset with no new work units instructed based on the number of them hanging. Early in the past week I've aborted more than about a dozen or so tasks across several pc's but over the last few days I haven't had to abort any tasks, don't know if I've been lucky or they are being worked thru. |

Posted 5 Jun 2022 by mikey Post: Mine are running almost 6 hours on a Ryzen 3950X (Ubuntu 20.04.3). Would you mind posting your app_config file so the rest of us can try that too? I'm also wondering if there is an upper limit to how many cpu cores you can throw at it and it still runs faster. |

Posted 15 Mar 2022 by mikey Post: Indeed - this is not a Sidock problem, it happens with many projects. Boinc put this option in which doesn't work, or relies on something most projects don't use.... The new total 64bit version of Boinc was supposed to have better control of that kind of stuff but with the Developers being 100% volunteers now due to their loss of funding, Boinc proved it's original grant funding theorem many years ago, the Developers are working to keep things running not implementing any new features. The existing version of Boinc is a hodgepodge of both 32 and 64 bit stuff, one reason it can't see more than 4gb of ram on a gpu, but it does work for the most part. |

не получает задания
(Message 1577)
Posted 15 Mar 2022 by mikey Post: снова не получает задания, теперь пишет постоянно Some of the Servers are in Russia and as you are aware alot of their internet is having 'issues' right now, that has made me responding here from the US almost painful, but to your problem...when it says "don't need tasks" it means your other Projects have already filled your cache on that pc, one thing that does work sometimes for me when that happens is I Suspend all other Projects and then click Update in the Boinc Manager pane that lists all the Projects. As I said sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, it depends on how close to being totally full your cache already is. My cache is set to 0.5 and 0.25 so I never have alot of tasks anyway, one workaround for me is to increase the cache size, WHILE all the other Projects are suspended, then click the Update button again and see if you get some tasks, if you do you can then reduce your cache size and then unsuspend all the other Projects. |

Posted 15 Mar 2022 by mikey Post: Due to the community request, we also plan to add official Mac and ARM64 support for the underlying CmDock software. I totally agree with this, my Mac has been doing other things but it would be nice if it was here too. I have some RPi's as well but they aren't running at the moment but I LOVE the ability to bring them here when they do come back online. |

Posted 5 Jul 2021 by mikey Post: I'd definitely be interested in seeing some graphs of how much processing power was there before the poll and now :) Thank you very much! It would be nice to see the same numbers in another week and then 1 month post being whitelisted, and then 2 months as I suspect there may be a drop off as the 'newness' where's off. BUT I hope the initial surge stays even if some people go and others come. |

(Message 49)
Posted 1 Nov 2020 by mikey Post: You can limit the task in progress for a user or core. But then the problem becomes what if we don't show up and the tasks sit there uncrunched, it's a balance for all projects ie...do I make a million tasks and hope people show up or do I make 10k tasks and some people don't get tasks. Since thie Project is about todays Science personally I would go for the later and hope the answer I'm looking for is in the first 10k tasks. |
