3) Message boards : Number crunching : No long tasks (Message 2386) Posted 30 Dec 2024 by Jay Post: Misleading Server status Stats? See: https://www.sidock.si/sidock/server_status.php The project page-server stats say that there are 18974 - Unsent - CurieMarieDock 0..2.0 short tasks and 2523 -In Progress - CurieMarieDock 0..2.0 short tasks Yet, my BOINC Manager Event Log says that there are no short tasks available. Since this stat/number has not changed for a few days, I assume that server stats on the project have not been updated and are wrong. I also assume that ARM WU are not involved. Can someone else verify this, please? Then, can someone at the project take corrective action? Thanks!! Jay
4) Message boards : Number crunching : No long tasks (Message 2372) Posted 18 Dec 2024 by Jay Post: greetings, i have had sporadic outages as well. for example: 16 Dec - WU available 17 Dec - AM - no WU 17 Dec - PM - WU available 18 Dec - AM - no WU the web server status says there are no "zipped" tasks, but others are available. but the BOINC Event Log says: Wed 18 Dec 2024 03:14:13 AM EST \| SiDock@home \| No tasks are available for CurieMarieDock on BOINC + zipped input, checkpoints and progress bar Wed 18 Dec 2024 03:14:13 AM EST \| SiDock@home \| No tasks are available for CurieMarieDock 0.2.0 short tasks And I am running Linux on 64 bit computers. Perhaps there is an internet connection problem at the university? More info?? Thanks, Jay

6) Message boards : Number crunching : 141 days remaining on a WU (Message 2219) Posted 9 Mar 2024 by Jay Post: Greetings!! I have a WU that is due today. The Boinc status updated to 141 days remaining.( It just changed to 118 days remaining. Name corona_RdRp_v2_sidock_01431602_r2_s-20_0 Elapsed 3days 2 hours 60 minutes... Deadline Saturday 09March 11:02PM EST (Note: all other deadlines are listed in EDT, I *assume* this relates to: From sidock website Task 81010407 Work Unit 52600263 Sent 4March 4:12 UTC Deadline 10March4:12 UTC Note: The deadlines do not match Computer 55116 How abnormal is this? I did a cpu restart for OS updates. I assume that the checkpoints for Linux SiDock applications work correctly. Bad assuptions? Other thoughts? I was going to let BOINC or the SI server issue an abort/timeout so that the task information can be complete. I think I found the WU in slot 6. docking_out.log had two interruptions first time it restarted at present -1 WU. second time, it restarted at record 1 docking_out.log is 125996 bytes at present. Shall I try to get other info from /var/lib/boinc-client? THANKS, Jay PS. Days remaining shifted to 101.
7) Message boards : Number crunching : No short tasks (Message 2208) Posted 25 Feb 2024 by Jay Post: Greetings!!! I set my prefs for the short tasks, but I don't get any. But the server says there are unsent short tasks. What am I missing? T H A N K S, Jay
8) Message boards : Number crunching : remaining time frozen (Message 2149) Posted 25 Nov 2023 by Jay Post: of course, after i post this, the time remaining jumps to 1 Days, 3 Hours, 30 Minutes, 45 Seconds. Sorry for the bother. Jay
9) Message boards : Number crunching : remaining time frozen (Message 2148) Posted 24 Nov 2023 by Jay Post: Greetings! I am running long tasks. But the task display on Boinc shows a frozen remaining time (Estimated) BOINC Task task shows an incrementing time. Question: Is this OK?

I was about to abort https://www.sidock.si/sidock/result.php?resultid=77569206 - which has been running > 25 hours; with remaining time = 3days and 10 hours. does suspend/resume muck up these tasks? Thanks, Jay

12) Message boards : Number crunching : Initial Value for Estimated Remaining Time is too small. (Message 1764) Posted 20 Nov 2022 by Jay Post: Greetings! Where does BOINC / sidock get the initial value for initial time remaining?? Today, 20 Nov 2022, I get WU with an initial value of 16 minutes, 36 seconds. As it executes past 17 minutes, the time to complete advances to 5 hours, 18 minutes and is advancing. One disadvantage is that BOINC grabbed a lot of sidock WU with the short estimated times when it obtained WU from sidock. Now, other projects are not getting a chance. Is this a bug? Should I rerun benchmarks? Thanks in advance!! Jay
13) Questions and Answers : Web site : 8,9 November 2022. website inaccessible (Message 1749) Posted 9 Nov 2022 by Jay Post: Hi there. Recently, BOINC was unable to access the website to request WU for 10+ hours. A ping also failed. Is All OK? DNS server problem? I was able to access http://www.ctk.uni-lj.si/about/ and the library. I assume it was a temporary problem. Boinc can access sidock.si now,(9 Nov 2022) but no WU . so are things better?? Thanks, Jay

17) Message boards : Cafe : Comparison to other projects? (Message 1466) Posted 21 Jan 2022 by Jay Post: Greetings. I have just joined SiDock and am crunching away... I like the website - it give approaches to solving COVID infections. My curiosity: How do the SiDock WU compare with those of other projects? Such as: - World Community Grid - Open Pandemics (Scripps Research) - Rosetta Thanks in advance!! Jay
