Mmmm and since this morning the project refuses to send me tasks

Sam 18 nov 12:58:42 2023 | Asteroids@home | Requesting new tasks for CPU and AMD/ATI GPU
Sam 18 nov 12:58:44 2023 | Asteroids@home | Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks
Sam 18 nov 12:58:44 2023 | Asteroids@home | Project has no tasks available

even though server status claims to have plenty to send...

I assume that this same error rate (now 145 success and 105 errors) is the cause and the project automatically restrains tasks for that machine ? (I know some projects have such policy to avoid buggy machine to waste cycles).

In the task detail I have no calculation time on the errored tasks (not 0: no figure) so I don't know if it's true and they fail immediately, or if it actually wastes CPU cycles before generating that error.

Anyway, back to other projects.

I confirm on mac OS :

Stderr output

<core_client_version>7.24.1</core_client_version>
<![CDATA[
<message>
process exited with code 2 (0x2, -254)</message>
<stderr_txt>

Error: Number of lc points is greater than POINTS_MAX = 1000

</stderr_txt>
]]>

I (re)started to crunch this afternoon (CPU for mac), 32 tasks in success and 17 with this error. On task detail it says "0 seconds processed" so I hope it's true.

Note : I just realized that the mac app version is from... 2013 !! for windows or linux it's 2020 or 2022... no comment :/

Finally I'm lucky that it is still working somehow !! (on other projects old boinc mac apps ceased working with Apple 32b-->64b move)

Yes, yes, I know... so many better things could be done.

What you describe seems easy, but when it's something you are only doing on spare time for hobby / passion, I don't think it is.

Members of l'AF have in several occasions proposed their help to Sebastien so he would delegate us some of the numerous tasks he is doing for l'AF / Boinc world... but after many years I've seen him working for all this my (personal) conclusion is that is not the kind of guy neither to explain much what he is really doing (ie "hiding" the workload I think, so we all think "maybe it's easy", I dunno) nor to share his workload...

"FB" is not any kind or "organization", with resources... it's practically a one man thing, for a man who is already doing tons of other things (WUProp, StatSeb, signature.statseb, boinc-af.org + forums, etc.)

One of FB goals has been to raise crunchers interest in all boinc projects, including the small ones, by giving them an equal weight in the global ranking (unlike boinc credit system itself).

Projects can specifically ask not to participate to the season if they don't like the idea.

Those who decide to crunch are the crunchers, maybe you should blame them because they want to participate to the project, whatever their reasons may be.

Complaining is always an easy thing.

Hello

I realize I have 8 WUs that are failing upload since mi-December, I find this thread were I can see that there are indeed issues with up/down of WUs, and also that Kyong has another kind of workload issue :)

So I hope you can solve both issues and wish you the best for the new year to come !

(and I hope that they won't be "lost" since their deadline was set on 27/12/2014...)

Cheers !
