I get those, they either work and complete in an hour on an 8000Gflop GPU, with linear progress on the Boinc counter, or they stick at 0.01% forever and eventually consume all the GPU's VRAM. On mine, they start moving from 0.01% in 3 minutes. If they haven't, they're never going to. I think I've had 10 work ok and 3 break.

It seems not all tasks are the same.

Hi everyone,

Server is finally up and running again after more than a year of being down. Everything is migrated to a new server and we hope it will run smoothly for a long time. There are still some minor issues but nothing crutial and all minor tweeks will be done during the time.
I would also like to thank to Georgi Vidinski who has helped with solving some problems.

So this is life on Spaceball One. From a humble beginning as a single celled organism, to a space sensing race crunching numbers for our dear Dark leader, who does not deem us worthy of gracing us with his Helmet. O' to writhe in joyous solitude when once again we are granted the W. U.'s that our CPU's and GPU's so desperately crave. We whisper softly to the box "Yes, soon you will savor the polynomial, taste the sweet tangent, and devourer the elliptical data of far flung intra-solar rocks at Ludicrous sped while enjoying the lovely Plaid that your cores gaze upon in your electronic Heaven."

Excelsior!

The capillaries of our motherboards, the transistors and capacitors of our memory cells grow warm in response to the communication from a fellow supplicant. Sadly, said communication was not emitted from the Sourece of All Data whose recognition our starved CPU/GPU brains so despreately crave. Yet our hard drive hearts still flail in hopeful anticipation that one nanosecond of acknowledgement or appreciation shall emanate from that reputed academic Olympian on whose behalf we foolishly labor and whose attention we anxiously await.

This project obviously believes in the Mushroom Theory of Management!!

I suspect that many post authors could help themselves by checking the server status with a few clicks. Within the BOINC Manager application, and the Projects tab, select Asteroids@Home, and click on the Home Page button. At the Asteroids@home website, and under the Returning Participants section, click on the Server Status link. Much is revealed on this page. The server status has been all green for many months, suggesting that the hardware has been running well, and I'm guessing that a hardware upgrade or replacement has not happened, and I could speculate that maybe it is no longer needed.

On the Computing Status side of this same page, you can see the work units available, and in work. The Tasks ready to send is currently 0. This number is routinely 1,000,000 + when a new job is created. The work for the most recent job dried up on about June 23. All work that you received since this date is recycled from jobs that timed out with your peers. The Tasks in progress are 9836 (when I wrote this piece), and this number is routinely 400,000 + when we are all loaded up with work. Also note the Users in last 24 hours is 189, which I think is closer to 5000 when we are all up and running.

From my perspective, the 'system' is working just fine, but there is currently, and simply, no work to do.

I don't understand why people criticize project owners/admins. They are volunteers themselves who often invest their own time and money into these projects. They have real life responsibilities too. It's not as if the people who want to run this project have paid a fee to run it. There are many other projects out there you can put your systems to use on. I'm sure Kyong will get the project running as soon as he can. If someone is willing cover the cost of having someone else handle the server installation, message Kyong with your offer. In the meantime, run some other project.

"gang agley nae maire"? What language is that? Seems Gaelic, but not any dialect that I know.

See what I mean...? 2 days on from my last post, No response, no interaction, thousands of crunchers left hanging with no WU's to crunch. I honestly believe this is an important project that is worth doing, but the people running don't give a damn about the volunteers trying to support it. Currently under 22000 wus in action, nothing new for a week. CAN'T SOMEONE AT ADMIN WAKE UP AND RESPOND TO THE VERY PEOPLE CRUNCHING YOUR WORK FOR YOU????? IT'S CALLED RESPECT....
