The project ran out of work early April 2023. There were notes that there might be more projects in the future, but there hasn't been anything new added since then.

Don't trust the server status numbers. They are almost never truly accurate on ANY BOINC project.

All work for this project was completed in November of 2021. The devs said that they would look at adding new tasks in the future, but for now, the project is shut down.

Yes! Welcome back! I was disappointed when the site was completely offline for a few days, and I'm glad to see it online again.

Hopefully this means there will be more work coming soon as well!

I'm hoping for some new work, or at least for some "scraps" from returns or timed out tasks. I only need 68K more to get to 50 million total...

(edit to fix and add numbers)

In my "huge" test sample of two, these are the results on my old graphics cards.

First sample is my GTX 1060. Average run time is 3654 seconds with the 2.11 application and 3462 seconds with the 2.10 application. About a 5% loss in production.

And the run times have actually gone up even more on my GTX 750ti. Average of 10687 seconds per task with the 2.11 application and 9996 seconds per task with the 2.10 application. That's a loss of almost 10% in production.

The computers are both running the kaktwoos_2.11 application.

Granted, these are old graphics cards so probably not much of a priority. I just thought I'd give a bit of feedback since you've probably mostly tested the new apps on newer graphics cards...

Can stats export please be turned on?

Agreed. Please enable stats exports!

Also, I don't know what's different between my systems and those getting errors, but if it helps to have a reference point, my two computers with GTX 1060 and GTX 750ti aren't having any significant problems running tasks. Out of about 30 tasks so far, there's only one invalid/error task and I think that one was my fault (accidentally killed the process in Windows Task Manager).

Already showing up in Free-DC stats. That was quick, thanks! :)
