1) Message boards : Number crunching : Not requesting tasks: don't need (Message 2452) Posted 25 Apr 2025 by Greg_BE Post: But what does it matter? SiDock is a empty project right now. There is no work. So you will continue to get these errors. Maybe next month they will have something. Your beating a dead topic even more than it needs to be. Your system will get work when there is work. If you don't like the errors showing up in your feed,then remove the project and check back in two weeks or so. CurieMarieDock on BOINC + zipped input, checkpoints and progress bar 0 0 --- 0 CurieMarieDock 0.2.0 long tasks 0 0 --- 0 CurieMarieDock 0.2.0 short tasks 0 0 --- 0 Server software version: 1.1.0 Tasks ready to send 0 Tasks in progress 0 Workunits waiting for validation 0 Workunits waiting for assimilation 0 Workunits waiting for file deletion 0 Tasks waiting for file deletion 0 Transitioner backlog (hours) 0.00 So you will just get messages and messages about what you are going on about, or no work messages until there is work.

Your selected resource share or task type (CPU vs GPU) doesn't match what's available.

4) Message boards : News : Temporarily work unavailabilities (Message 2439) Posted 31 Mar 2025 by Greg_BE Post: 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. Hey Hoarfrost...define "awhile" in terms of time if you can. Weeks or months?
5) Message boards : Number crunching : upload server troubles - transient HTTP error (Message 2423) Posted 2 Mar 2025 by Greg_BE Post: For the last 24 hrs if I am lucky I can upload my tasks to the server.

6) Message boards : Number crunching : No long tasks (Message 2415) Posted 29 Jan 2025 by Greg_BE Post: All information posted here before yesterday evening is outdated. Not all. The project still has no Aarch64 application for those who run 64-bit ARM boards with a 64-bit OS. In a previous post on this same page I gave the tweaks needed to get 32-bit WUs -regardless which of the three SiDock@Home apps. ahh..this was more about those of us on windows machines.

Long tasks have been restored with a new target https://www.sidock.si/sidock/forum_thread.php?id=214&postid=2408 CurieMarieDock 0.2.0 long tasks 26030 46382 2.07 (0.05 - 23.69) 1101 26,000 left is not much when systems like mine take 11 tasks at time. What happens after these are done, who knows.[/url]

9) Message boards : News : Temporarily work unavailabilities (Message 2407) Posted 26 Jan 2025 by Greg_BE Post: Guys, I sent a message to Hoarfrost the moderator about my question that you guys have +1'd a few times. Since its the weekend I don't expect anything back. I asked him to post here. But no idea if he will or not. So we wait and crunch other projects until they get done playing to the ARM machines which I think will be awhile. Hopefully there will be some news in the future.

11) Message boards : Number crunching : -195 (0x000000C3) EXIT_CHILD_FAILED 26 times and counting (Message 2086) Posted 23 Jun 2023 by Greg_BE Post: Hello Greg! Maybe similar issue described in this thread. Would you perform a project reset? Turns out the auto updates were not enough for some drivers. Had to go hunting. Chipset and and a new GPU driver (not part of the usual updates) Had a bunch of BSOD's annoying me, so solving that solves EXIT_CHILD. Thanks for pointing me back to that page.

13) Message boards : Number crunching : -195 (0x000000C3) EXIT_CHILD_FAILED 26 times and counting (Message 2083) Posted 19 Jun 2023 by Greg_BE Post: https://www.sidock.si/sidock/results.php?userid=4868&offset=0&show_names=0&state=6&appid= This is list of all the tasks that have errored out. PLUS...it crashes my system. Black screen, no computing from BOINC, Ctrl alt del has no effect. My system can only be powered down and restarted. So what is this all about anyway? So NOT normal...... Question....does this have to do with residual whatevers leftover from windows updates and system backups? I just cleaned my system and got rid of a bunch of old windows stuff after suffering a BSOD memory management crash. Hoping that clears up the EXIT CHILD issue.
14) Message boards : News : Temporarily work unavailabilities (Message 1756) Posted 12 Nov 2022 by Greg_BE Post: I only have Linux PCs (some old) now and am only getting 1 or 2 credits per WU, not sure what I got before. PCs visible. Paul. That's all I am getting as well. .83 to 1 credit per task. But now with this server issue...the RAC goes from 3,000 to 1,000 and now 500. Unreal.
15) Message boards : News : Temporarily work unavailabilities (Message 1755) Posted 11 Nov 2022 by Greg_BE Post: hoarfrost, Is there going to be any increase in output of tasks? My RAC is dying on your project. I just got 2 tasks at 2100 CET and it takes just around 4 hrs to run them. So my system is always ready for more and I don't get them all that often now.
16) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems accessing the project and web site (Message 1618) Posted 9 Apr 2022 by Greg_BE Post: From 1141 until 1835 your project had numerous comms errors. 4/9/2022 11:41:17 AM \| SiDock@home \| Started upload of corona_PLpro_v3_sidock_00810349_-15_0_r1812609183_0 4/9/2022 11:41:17 AM \| SiDock@home \| Started upload of corona_PLpro_v3_sidock_00810349_-15_0_r1812609183_1 4/9/2022 11:41:39 AM \| SiDock@home \| Temporarily failed upload of corona_PLpro_v3_sidock_00810349_-15_0_r1812609183_0: connect() failed 4/9/2022 11:41:39 AM \| SiDock@home \| Backing off 00:02:30 on upload of corona_PLpro_v3_sidock_00810349_-15_0_r1812609183_0 4/9/2022 11:41:40 AM \| \| Project communication failed: attempting access to reference site 4/9/2022 11:41:42 AM \| \| Internet access OK - project servers may be temporarily down. 4/9/2022 11:41:50 AM \| SiDock@home \| Finished upload of corona_PLpro_v3_sidock_00810349_-15_0_r1812609183_1 This error repeated every hour or so until the end time reported. None of my other projects had this problem. So its not my end.
17) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems accessing the project and web site (Message 1616) Posted 6 Apr 2022 by Greg_BE Post: hoarfrost - what is going on with your servers lately? they go down sporadically for 18 hours at a time or something, usually the webserver is down as well so I can't even access the page to see what if any news or lack of news there is about the problem. Maybe when you go down and take your webservers offline you can post on your unused Twitter page.
18) Message boards : Number crunching : Pending credit with me and a wingman (Message 1459) Posted 15 Jan 2022 by Greg_BE Post: 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? The project has server problems and it tends to get overloaded. There are currently over 14,000 tasks waiting for validation (70 of them mine 🙂). The work flows slowly but it does flow and you get the credits after a while. I guess that's a good problem to have. They grew to quickly for their funding.

Already reported https://boinc.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=14413 See http://wuprop.boinc-af.org/forum_thread.php?id=575&postid=8360#8360 for the quick temporary fix. WOW! That worked like a charm! Thanks!
