The purging utility is still running since the time problem with database. It is set to purge all WUs older than 90 days.

Thank you for the explanation. So I should be seeing this starting to drop off soon. Most project purge a lot quicker and was just wanted to make sure you were not going to run into any space issues by not purging.

You could abort them all and just get new ones, that way the database will purge the ones that should be purged and resend the ones that are okay.

Over 1800 tasks finished in my account between Dec 2013 and Jan 2014. They have not purged out of the system. Previously to the system update they would purge.

RAC is now depleting, but I still have a ton of WUs that have not been purged. All those non-purged unit have to be taking a lot of space in the database.

Ever since the return, tasks are not purging and RAC is not depleting if you are not doing work.

I wondered why my pending were so old....

You have 1 unit pending. from today.
You have a lot of errored units that your system has sending back since December.
You also have a lot of good units returned with credit, but nothing since 8-JAN.

Errored units have:
Unsupported CC detected (CC2.0 and better supported only).
Looks like your GeForce 9800 GT is not supported as it does not have Compute Compatibility of 2.0.

So make a cc_config file only to use the GTX580.

No update to NativeBOINC. It has not been updated since the official BOINC version was released.

Unless how you present the date itself is an issue? Other project ran fine.

Understood, just disheartening to return completed units and get 0 credit.

Mine was not overclocked. I did not try it on the official BOINC version. Alas that unit is now gone (it didn't die, I just decommissioned it), but I shall be getting a newer unit that I will put the official version on.

I can say these stopped working between 31-DEC and 1-JAN. Any units I downloaded before 1-JAM worked fine.

I was getting loads of errored out WU's that ran to completion on Android. Sent the admin a PM, waiting to hear back.


I can see, that there is kernel 3.4.10. What version of Android do you have?

I have:
ARMv7 Processor rev 2 (v7l) @1188MHz
Android 3.0.16-gf59f9ce, Android version 4.03
using NativeBoinc 0.4.4.2.3 with BOINC API 7.0.36
Here are the errored units:

I have several Workunits that were returned by more than just I, but they got cancelled before they were validated which resulted in 0 credit.

Examples:

Android errors were happening way before the shutdown. I had several and pulled my Android off of computing because of it.

Why not build a single app and do a test for AVX (like Primegrid did with the LLR program)? Instead of having to force users to mess with their projects?

Looking at the applications, only 64 bit linux has been added. Windows has both 32 and 64 bit.

It's also happening on CPU. I had not had many inconclusive results before this last few days, now I have over a dozen.

Does a RPC setting the work preferences affect the team membership at the project?

RPC means Remote Procedure Call, so BAM is making a call to the project site which should in turn make the adjustments to your account. If there is a misalignment as to the call and the project accepting the call then that could be where the issue lies.

With each BOINC backend change (project side), sometimes those calls can get adjusted wrong or missed. Sounds like what might be happening in this instance. I do not use any Manager, but am very aware of some of the issues over the years.

So I'd suggest the Admin from here work with Willy to get the settings adjusted as not to cause this to keep happening.

I joined the team using BAM and I'm still a team member on BAM.
I was removed from the team only on the project and re-joined the team manually on the project.

Work with Willy at BAM. Sometimes he needs to make adjustments against projects to fix these issues or he may have to work with the Project admin to get all the settings to hold.

This has happened before with other projects. Sometimes a backend update doesn't work well with how BAM adjusts settings.

Today I needed to join the team again since I was removed again.

Are you using BAM or some other Manager? Are you joining on the site, but not through your manager? Your Manager will adjusts all your projects to the preferences saved in it and does not care what changes you make to a single site.

I know it isn't always the easiest, but if you could announce the maintenance schedule ahead of time, for those of us just crunching one project and then finding out you have not been doing any work for several hours because of a maintenance is a little frustrating. I could fill a larger queue for those times. I don't like keeping a large queue as I might want to move over to a project that is deemed as a need for our team, or similar situation and I hate aborting a ton of units, where if I keep no queue I know I can move within a couple hours.

Each project you need to create new accounts. This project has only been around for about a year. So if you never crunched here before you did need to make a new account.
