i have 2 of these hanging tasks ongoing - should i abort them?
both are using a full core of cpu time.
in both cases, the only files in the slot directory that is being updated is boinc_mmap_file and init_data.xml

Hello!
I think that is caused by imbalance in the estimation of the task completion time. We fixed it and watching.

Hi,

I joined this team sometime ago & have yet to receive anything to process? Is the project over?

I have Virtual Box on a MacBook Pro & was going to put this up on my Windows 10 desktop, but if data to process is no longer being sent out, maybe I should just delete the project?

Thanks,

Hello! :)

Tasks for target corona_NSP16_v1 much longer than for previous target and varies from ~5 hours up to ~20(!) hours for my Ryzen 3900X.
Each task (excluding last workunit of whole set) is a job for inspecting of reactions of 500 ligands with target protein, but if one ligand "looks" good, reaction with it is computed more times. If task have a subset of "good" ligands for current target, duration of its computation may be long and process should progress unevenly.

Just aborted 62895949 after nearly 12h CPU runtime and showing 45% progress.
WU's come in showing a runtime of 5.5h. I would like to see the expected runtime somewhat more accurate if WU's run normal.
There seems to be quite a big spread in runtimes. Other projects are more predictable.

A lot of the results that were accumulated on my computers during offline period of the project are invalid (those machines usually do not generate any invalid results at all). Do you see any possibility to rescue these work units or the invested run time?

Same here, almost 800 units uploaded yesterday declared invalid and increasing.

Dear all,

On February 14th, for about 08:00-20:00 UTC, the project server will be shut down for maintenance. We will upgrade hard drives to support larger loads.

All the best,
Team SiDock@home

Windows machine can not give more than 3-4% CPU utilization.
CPU settings is 75% of the CPU with 100% CPU time.
What can be possibly causing this?

I had to stop running SiDock@home because of upload and download problems.

Tasks have been completed ok.
Wingman has also completed the task ok.
Most projects validate the results and give credit.
Not here.
I see that the tasks have these factors:

minimum quorum 2
initial replication 2
max # of error/total/success tasks 8, 8, 8

Well if it's a quorum of 2, then why hasn't the server validated the 20 tasks I have spit out so far and that the wingman has also completed?

I created a SIDock@home account about 2 months ago and have not received one unit of work yet. I get plenty of work from my other projects.

Hi! A new version of CmDock application has been released. Progress reporting have been fixed. :)

Hello folks! The new version of the application should be released in the next two or three weeks.

Recently I have been getting between 10 and 16 points per WU, with run times from 1000 to 1500 seconds.
Today I noticed that a number (at least 5) have been granted from 1 to 4 points for similar run times.

Any idea why? or are we using Credit New so it gives what it wants no matter what?

Thanks

Hello,

on my mac pro, I don't get any new workunits since weeks.
Is there a mis-configuration of my BOINC, or are there actually no workunits?

Greetings,

As I wanted to run all applications I could, I decided to take the upgrade path rather than any hacks.
This seemed a good idea at the time, so I went ahead with it.

I started with Fedora 23 which has GLIBC 2.22
Went to Fedora 25 which has GLIBC 2.24, this seemed to go OK.
So jumped with confidence to Fedora 27 which has GLIBC 2.26, again seemed to go OK
Confidence still high started Fedora 29 download (Fedora 28 has GLIBC 2.27) with GLIBC 2.28
All seemed OK with download and install of updates till the reboot, would not get past first boot up screen.
OH NO I though what have I done?

Long story shortened, 18 hours later I found a way via editing the BOOT menu to get the GUI back and then Fedora
tells me "Congratulations Fedora 29 update complete",,, What.
Anyway I am too scared to reboot again Linux Fedora 29 is running with GLIBC 2.28 and I can launch BOINC, CurieMarieDock work units have been running fine.

I still can't get the BOINC Manager to work, all files appear to be there, but nothing happens when I launch it, so I can't see what is running unless I check Task Manager.

(I launched BOINC directly from the BOINC folder using boinc executable, the boincmgr executable is the one not launching.
So 2 days to get back up and running (mostly), but it has been a learning experience,

I should do single version upgrades of the OS not multiples, less time and less things to go wrong.

Backup your data, I didn't but was lucky as it all stayed there and I didn't lose anything.

Don't leave it so long to upgrade (I will still probably leave it as I don't plan on upgrading every 6 months, if it works don't touch it)

Make sure you have a lot of hot Tea (or Coffee if you prefer), food or snacks available as it will take a long time to do multiple updates.

Onward with the fun of computing (I will laugh about this sometime in the future I am sure).
