Here you can enable beta testing.
Thanks Link, it was already enabled, still no work yet, due to other projects.

Conan
There are currently no beta tasks available, they released 200 WUs for v7.00 and v7.01 each, now waiting for the release of v7.02 as they were instantly crashing. All those tasks were for 64-bit Linux, no working Windows version yet.

Check Operational Status for updates.

Nice, now GPUGRID has a standard BOINC page and not something they messed up by themselves. Now if only WCG could do the same, they need this transition even more than GPUGRID ever did.

I know that but why did it have Validation errors ? never had any before that I know of ...
The usual reason is running out of work from other projects.

The reason are likely all those validate errors.

Yes, it's fresh start, you need to create a new account. WUprop hours and credits will also be counted separately.

I have those too in every WU, but the hours seem to count right... probably.

The computer isn't banned anymore. To avoid issues like that in the future, follow mikey's advice and set WUProp to no new tasks together with the other projects.

This is a good idea.

By this thinking Link we would only have 1/3rd the apps we have on the list now
I couldn't care less. The only reason I crunch for WUProp are the results of this project, which I have used in the past and I think it's a great idea to have a database like that.

Of course it would be eben better, if huge parts of that page were not broken since ages without that anyone bothers to fix it even after receiving bug reports for example in the science section of this forum. The results from my GPU crunching Einstein's O3 also do not seem to make it into the results table (my iGPU gets them done in around 90 minutes, not 431) and considering the amount of results for Data collect version 5 returned in the past 24 hours, I strongly doubt, that my Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray is the only ARM device, that returns some kind of data to WUProp.

NO they should not be, if you use a different device it should b a different application, so the Arecibo, GBT tasks running on ARM devices is not a gpu nor a standard cpu task so it's a new for us application.
No, even if it's different executable, it's not a different BOINC application, it's all "einsteinbinary_BRP4" doing the same job no matter on what hardware and OS you run it. Technically even einsteinbinary_BRP4G and einsteinbinary_BRP4A are the same application and at least einsteinbinary_BRP4 and einsteinbinary_BRP4G were using same executables in the past, they moved different device types between those two as needed. BRP4G was originally for GPUs, but they were moved back to BRP4 because of validation issues and x86 CPUs took over BRP4G. BRP4A was created for the same reason for Apple ARM devices, their results were good enough for the science, but not close enough to the other BRP4 results for the validator. I crunched BRP4G with the official BRP4 executable on my Android phone using the anonymous platform without any issues, so definitely the same thing, now, when they are shutting down BRP4G, anyone can use their BRP4G executable to crunch BRP4 if they want to (or even better: there's a optimized one in the forums).


By this thinking shouldn't the:
Einstein@Home Multi-Directional Gravitational Wave search on O3 (CPU)
and the
Einstein@Home Multi-Directional Gravitational Wave search on O3 (GPU)

tasks be combined since we were crunching exactly the same data set, just some tasks used the cpu and some tasks the gpu?
I don't know why they made two different applications out of that, so I can't answer that question. But those in charge decided to have two separate BOINC applications (each with few different executables for different platforms and plan_classes) and that's what WUProp has to follow (like in case of BRP4/BRP4G/BRP4A).


The different apps are what's in the blue bar at https://einsteinathome.org/apps.php
And everything else is <platform>, <plan_class> and eventually <version_num>, but not <app_name>.


Not true. Asteroids have 1 single app that runs on all devices.
Most projects have executables for different platforms for the same BOINC application simply because nothing else makes sense, it's the same input and the same results. Only Gerasim@home does that differently for an unknown to me reason (anyone tried anonymous platform there?) and of course Einstein@home does that partly for BRP4 as explained for validation reasons.

Shouldn't they actually be counting under the old name because it's using the same data files?
No, they should be counted under the old name simply because it actually is the same application, i.e. einsteinbinary_BRP4, just a new plan_class.

einsteinbinary_BRP4G a.k.a. Binary Radio Pulsar Search (Arecibo,GBT,long) and einsteinbinary_BRP4A a.k.a. Binary Radio Pulsar Search (Arecibo,GBT,A) also use the same data files, but are different applications from BOINC's point of view (technically they are all the same application, splitted into three BOINC applications for validation reasons). WUProp admin needs however to update the "user friendly name" of the einsteinbinary_BRP4 application, it has been renamed to Binary Radio Pulsar Search (Arecibo,GBT) quite a while ago.

You should suspend the WUprop WU together with all other WUs, than the issue won't occur.

I had the same issue with my Android device, perhaps you should post your issue in that thread too. Too old BOINC version can't be the cause in your case as you have 7.22.2 on that computer, that should be new enough and you have the same version on your two other computers, which get tasks.

Can you try to update the BOINC client ?
Question: do you see somewhere easily on the server what's the oldest BOINC version for Android, which successfully runs WUprop? Or at least if there are any tasks in progress for the "Android running on an ARM CPU (arm)" application and on what they are running? All the "android_arm_pie" won't run here as this device does not support PIE. I had once BOINC 7.4.14 running on this phone, but than switched to NativeBOINC as that supported remote login from my desktop PC and many other standard BOINC things, which were missing in the official Android client (IIRC it didn't even have a WU cache).
