Server status shows 655,239 tasks ready to send. My OSX hosts are being told no tasks available. Can someone please add some OSX tasks to the queue?

Can someone please add some OSX tasks to the queue?

Since there is no such thing as "OSX tasks" or 'Win XP tasks' or 'Android tasks' you are asking for 'drinking water for left-handed' (tasks are the same as water is the same)

"no tasks available" - give/copy the real messages

All my mac are not getting work. My windows machines are getting work just fine.

Edit: Also, check this out:

http://boincstats.com/en/stats/134/host/list/12/0/0

Sort on "Credit/day", descending. There are no macs awarded credit in the past day. I think that shows that this issues is across all macs, not just mine.

The server did not say why 'No tasks sent'
There is no 'Project has no tasks available' message
Something on the server is disabled (intentionally) or misconfigured

In sched_reply_asteroidsathome.net_boinc.xml do you see something similar (of course with Mac info, my is from Win XP):

I can confirm that my own Mac has requested A@H tasks twice today and not been sent any.

I notice too that the 102.10 (sse2) app my machine has was replaced in the site's Applications list with 102.11 (sse3) two weeks ago, but I haven't been sent that either.

Can you copy info about instructions from your BOINC client?

I am not sure what you are asking. I copied/pasted all the messages from the event log. What else do you want?

I am sorry, I mean instruction sets - sse3, pni etc. I added new instructions but maybe it is not right so I have to compare it.

Ok, no computer, I could test, was getting any sse3 or avx tasks. That is a new problem with BOINC server I found out. I got back changes I made and now the MacOS should get no work again unfortunately. I will have do more changes due to it but it will have to wait till saturday, I can't make them now and I won't have enough time to make the changes tommorow.

So BOINC server config files (XML ?) do not provide a way to set both pni + SSE3 and avx + AVX1.0 ?

As I already posted this list of 'Processor features' is generated by very different means:
http://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/forum_thread.php?id=93&postid=2083#2083


Can't the effect you want be accomplished by custom <plan_class>?
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/AppPlan
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/AppPlanSpec

"Name this file plan_class_spec.xml and put it in your project directory. This will replace the built in plan classes!"

<cpu_feature>x</cpu_feature>
a required CPU feature (such as sse3). You can include more than one.


It is unclear how to use "more than one"
Is it:
<cpu_feature>pni SSE3</cpu_feature>

... or:
<cpu_feature>pni</cpu_feature>
<cpu_feature>SSE3</cpu_feature>


... or:
<plan_classes>
   <plan_class>
      <name>sse3</name>
      <cpu_feature>pni</cpu_feature>
      <cpu_feature>SSE3</cpu_feature>
   </plan_class>
</plan_classes>



... or:
<plan_classes>
   <plan_class>
      <name>sse3</name>
      <cpu_feature>pni</cpu_feature>
   </plan_class>
   <plan_class>
      <name>sse3_Mac</name>
      <cpu_feature>SSE3</cpu_feature>
   </plan_class>
</plan_classes>


You can start from:
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/browser/boinc-v2/sched/plan_class_spec.xml.sample


(I just sent PM to David Anderson to check this problem)
