Thanks. I'll give that a try (eventually). However, I've successfully received tasks before while other projects and tasks were suspended. Has BOINC changed or was I just lucky ;-)

Also, I'm not getting any Asteroids tasks (same event log entry) even when nothing is suspended and Asteroids has a higher resource share.

I'm not getting any tasks on a AMD cpu/Windows11/Nvidia&AMD gpu computer. Event log:

10/4/2025 12:27:53 | Asteroids@home | Not requesting tasks: don't need (CPU: no applications; NVIDIA GPU: no applications; AMD/ATI GPU: no applications)

The computer was running other projects but they are all suspended, with some tasks suspended in the queue. Is that what's stopping Asteroid tasks? Even if Asteroids is set to a higher resource share and the other projects are suspended??

This computer is set to use HOME profile, and I've looked at both Computing and Project preferences HOME profiles and don't see a problem.

It appears on the application page that there's a ton work available for Windows/AMD/Nvidia but not for this box. My old Windows/Intel/Nvidia box is getting tasks just fine.

Thanks

I'm trying to picture in my head how ecliptic lat and long are used to define an object's spin axis.

Is it by defining the location of the object's north pole as seen from the center of the object?
