Posted 17 days ago by Link the time clicking by second by second taking about 5MB for the virtual size and almost 11MB for the working size Unless WUprop hours are all that matters to you, you should look in the task properties if the used CPU time is increasing or not each time you open them (or you check that in Windows Task Manager). |

Posted 17 days ago by Link the time clicking by second by second taking about 5MB for the virtual size and almost 11MB for the working size Same as for any other application from any other project: if they are not using any CPU time, try restarting them, if that doesn't help, abort them as they will never finish if they are not doing anything. |

App in RED but I still have tasks and they aren't due for several more days
(Message 9721)
Posted 20 days ago by Link Now you have 31.1 hours on that app, but it's still red. Something more needs a kick I guess. Well, it was definitely active in the past 30 days, so it shouldn't be red. Now it's up to the project admin to fix this, all we can do is reporting the issue and that is done. |

WUs not analyzed
(Message 9709)
Posted 21 days ago by Link And back to ZERO again Task data as of 27 Feb 2023, 22:06:18 UTC. And now (28 Feb 2023, 13:10:21 UTC) 126137 not analysed. Seems like a database issue and the server status page displays 0 if it doesn't get any answer from the database when updating, displaying "---" like on runtime if there's no data to display is likely not intended. |

Posted 22 days ago by Link Now the hours are appearing in your profile, no idea however how long the app needs to turn black. Perhaps we shouldn't expect too much right now, I'm still getting just around 50% of my hours. So I guess there's nothing wrong on your end. |

Posted 22 days ago by Link No, requires log in to see anything. If those tasks became available in the past 1-2 days after a longer break, than it might be related to this issue and the hours are in not yet analyzed WUprop WUs. Must wait until that is fixed, than complain again if you still have 0.00 hours and the app is marked red. OTOH, after switching from WCG to Einstein my "Gamma-ray pulsar search #5" hours seem to make it instantly to the hours displayed in my account, so no idea what's going on there, apparently some WUs are analyzed instantly. |

Posted 22 days ago by Link Have you crunched those tasks in the past 30 days? Your activity in the past 24 hours is 0.00 for this app. |

Posted 22 days ago by Link Task reported 4:55AM, then next one in list is 6:55AM and then 8:55AM. Missing 5:55AM and 7:55AM tasks. No missing tasks for my 24/7 running host, but Binary Radio Pulsar Search (Arecibo, large) still shows only 11 hours in the last 24, so they must be stuck in that pile of not analysed tasks. |

Posted 22 days ago by Link I will support these worries - for yesterday, the application did not register more than 50% of the processor time. Pretty much EXACTLY what I see from here too. |

Posted 13 Feb 2023 by Link Weird, I see http, not https. Maybe depending on the browser? I use Firefox on Win10. |

Posted 18 Jan 2023 by Link Sorry Link, but Rosetta does not run on XP anymore. I have XP and was blocked from Rosetta over a year ago. Hmm... OK, the last time I run Rosetta on XP was version 4.17, the current is 4.21. Anyway, even without Rosetta, most of the projects I run suport XP and you added few more to the list. So it doesn't seem that close to impossible to write applications that support Windows XP and also current versions of Windows. As a side note: I even tried some games that were originally created for Win95-ME, most still run absolutely fine on Win10, all they need are write permissions in their installation dir. I was surprised myself. |

Posted 17 Jan 2023 by Link Einstein's FGRP5 and probably also BRP4G (not tested myself) run on XP, Milkyway runs on XP (at least the CPU app, not sure about the GPU app), Rosetta runs on XP. They all run on current versions of Windows as well and that are just the very few projects that I participate in and have run the current versions of their apps on XP myself. But I do understand, that if issues arise, it doesn't seem worth to spend too much time on an OS, that run out of support nearly 9 years ago and is used only on ancient hardware with very limited computing power. Just the server should be configured properly to not send tasks to machines, that can't run them and send instead some useful message, so the user can see why the machine didn't receive any work. |

Posted 17 Jan 2023 by Link Maybe there should be a better error message: i.e. that Windows XP is no longer supported. Like I said, the server should not send any tasks to hosts, which can't run them, just an error message. This should have been changed same moment as the new app was released. Also the app description should be changed on the application page, currently the minimum requirement stated there is Windows 98. |

Asteroids
(Message 9552)
Posted 15 Jan 2023 by Link Well, they don't just call it the same name, it is the same application doing same work and generating same results, just running on different type of processor. That's same for all projects, not just Asteroids. plan_class is different for every application version, even two different CPU versions have different plan_class, for example SSE2 and AVX or whatever (or different platform). Same for different GPU versions. But all those app versions are the same application from BOINC's point of view, you can see that in your client_state.xml, you have one <app> and one or more <app_version> tags, all of them with same <app_name> in them, just different <platform> and/or <plan_class>, which is optional btw., my Milkyway CPU app does not have any <plan_class> since it's the only CPU app version. |

(Message 9539)
Posted 9 Jan 2023 by Link Parlea is only not added because it wasn't exporting it's stats last I checked. A good reason not to add them is the fact, that they even not write on their homepage who they actually are, no info on people or organzation. The translation of the describtion is "distributed computing test project that aims to investigate the efficiency and behavior of mobile devices as computing nodes on the BOINC platform for solving the orthogonal diagonal Latin squares (ODLS) search problem" and states Android 4.1 as requirement, but they have only an application for Windows PCs. So what they are doing actually? No forums to ask anything either. So no idea why someone would let a project like that use their computer ressources or even just enter his email adress on their page as currently the project isn't trustworthy at all. This concerns are IMHO by far more important than the project's TLD. |

(Message 9534)
Posted 8 Jan 2023 by Link Any particular reason why the data from my GTX 275 is not making it to the results page? It appeared in the list few days after I visited http://wuprop.boinc-af.org/gpu.py after installing it, it crunched well over 4000 Milkyway WUs since than (hours are counting), but the list remains empty. There are results in the list from a GTX 260, so it shouldn't be "too old" like my HD 3850 apparently was. My Android should be also visible under Binary Radio Pulsar Search (Arecibo, large) by now, after over 1000 hours. It's disappearence from Binary Radio Pulsar Search (Arecibo) seems completed and there was no significant break when switching to the new app, just few minutes. |
