The issue with select ARM-based devices should now be resolved.

Thanks for everyone's help with that! :)

Thanks!

I have 9x Raspberry Pi, or Pi clones. 8 of the 9 are completing tasks just fine. But this one gets nothing but errors:

Meh. Comparing credits across different projects is meaningless. So long as credits are consistent within the project, it's all good.

Thanks! All my machines have work now.

Hey all,

I monitor this forum as of recently (the last few days) and I'll do my best to keep up.

Part of the issue seems to be that our daily result quota was set to 500, which was fine for GPU work since most systems only had one GPU per system, but it's inadequate for CPU work given there could be a dozen or more cores all active.

It's set to 10000 for now, but I'm open to changing that if we still have problems.

We also had to increase our shmem size for the feeder to have a sufficient cache. It was previously not configured, so set to the default of 100.
With this many tasks, and running on CPU rather than GPU, the task to host ratio drastically changed compared to our previous projects.

Please let me know if we continue to have problems!

I see the same problem, Conan. But for only some of my machines. Some get work just fine, and some can get nothing. This includes windows machines too.

Also, I doubt any of the admins read this forum. They are all over on the discord server.

They have found a bug and disabled work distribution until they fix it.


Yes, they did that earlier. Since then, they have released an updated app, and new work. Now we are out of work.

Ah, they just added more work. Nice!

Really just a bunch of geeks who threw out a project because they wanted they find out some things about a rather popular game and they are getting other geeks onboard to help out. ;)

That's not how most BOINC crunchers work at all. We're all about credit and run-time stats. It really doesn't matter the goal of the projects for most of us. And for BOINC crunchers, this is serious business. Cost of entry and cost of energy is critical. So those credits and time spent per task are important.

I am getting this occasionally:

exceeded elapsed time limit 662.68 (60000000.00G/90272.25G)</message>


Is the limit 662 seconds? That is way too short.

Also, some of use run multiple tasks at a time, in order to maximize GPU utilization. So individual tasks can take 2-3 times as long to run each, but the overall throughput is higher.

I recommend setting the timeout to be something like 4x.
