This kind of behavior is normal for this project. I would not go so far as to call it unstable as others might, it just wont have tasks every single day. Sometimes there might be several days without tasks, but after a few days it will start back up again. You can run other projects along side this one in BOINC, if you want to have very consistent tasks 24 hours a day. If you want to run this project as much as possible when work for it is available, just increase its weight so that it is much higher than other projects. This will mean that BOINC will spend almost all of its time on this one when it has work available, but if it doesnt then it will work on other tasks.

Well they still do not work. I jst got this error:

Had seen this too at my account.

It just happened again, valid w/u`s rose to 5304, but just dropped again to 5302. how strange!

There is going to be a big maintenance on 11.09.2017. It will take nearly 5 - 7 days. Servers won't be processing any work during maintanenace and most of the time might be offline.

I'm going to buy a Asus ZenFone Zoom (Intel Atom CPU) and I'd like to have a version of this project also for this type of devices. A lot of Asus ones have a Intel processor (with a x86 architecture) and the only project available for these is Seti@Home Beta.

Yes I have it to run always because the other GPU projects never made my mouse so unresponsive. Just trying to snooze it is hard enough (way to much lag).

I like using my pc while crunching with BOINC and this is the only project i have had this issue with. Is there any way i can get rid of the video lag?

I am also out of WU. What is going on?

I would check WUprop http://wuprop.boinc-af.org/results/delai.py to see what projects other people are running with your same card.

According to an article i've found here the lightcurve inversion method you are using is highly parallelizable and therefore perfectly suited for processing on a GPU.

Are there any plans on developing a GPU application for this project?

I have processed several work units on my GPU. You are the only project that does. If you would send only gpu work, I would open the gate. My main project is WCG

Hello,

So I just signed up for the project and added the project to BOINC. No new tasks came, so I went to the forums and looked for Mac support forum and didn't find any..

What should I do?

Kindly note that I have a Macbook Pro '12 running on OS X Yosemite.

Thank you!

HI!
I am trying to add a few computers to one account unsuccessfully.
When running the boinc manager I add the project,when selecting the "already a user option" i set the mail and password and the reply s that they are not correct.

Personally I'm of the opinion that if you miss the deadline then the server should tell you "sorry I'm not accepting that". Rather than shafting the 3rd person.

When I came home today, this machine had rebooted and was at the log on screen. I don't know why, it was fine when I went out. Upon logging on and the inevitable waiting whilst all the junk starts up, BOINC started and it started running 3 Asteroids work units, (and an Einstein). Two of them had elapsed times just short of 2 hours and were running, showing roughly 30% complete each. The third had an elapsed of almost three hours, and 0.0% Progress. It appears to be running normally, elapsed increasing, remaining decreasing, progress rising. It is http://ps_150702_input_78688_10 this work unit. No action taken, just watching for now.

How do I start a project?

Since Asteroids is my number one Boinc project, I like to keep most of my PCs (especially the quad cores) racing thru the Asteroids units. And I USED TO (heavy on the USED TO) keep about a week of work to do in case of any problems. Then I saw how work backed up in the validation area, and I could lose tasks due to Boinc timeouts - work seemed to be done usually just before timing out when the queue depths are so deep and there would be timeouts if the power went out for a day or 2 - even several times a day from storms. So.. I backed off to only have a .05 day reserve with no extra days, and everything - all task units - fly thru with no backlog. HOWEVER, sometimes I end up waiting for over a week for validation as others (lol) are doing what I used to do. For example, I wondered what had happened to a task waiting to validate, I looked for it, it was assigned validation to a 6 cpu computer that has an "in progress" level of 235 tasks, waited a week there, and when timed out, assigned to another computer with a several day turnaround time. Today I sit and wonder as I have 140 (sometimes nearly 200) tasks waiting for validation, while only a dozen "in progress" and all are actually being worked one. I would just ask that some people set their queue depths a little lower. This keeps tasks from timing out - which requires the unit to be re-assigned, and all the work will all get done at the same speed, and validation won't be such a bottleneck. Thnx. (OK... I opened up a can of worms.. - Let's hear it.)

I do it differently...from a non-profit organisation I make a lots of letters to companies every 2y...& they donate the computers to us!

then I upgrade them to latest CPU available 4 MBO, put lots of RAM & crunch with them...that is how I managed to get my hands on Supermicro server board with XEON...now it's 3230 with only 4GB RAM, but with nVIDIA 730GT - was the fastest @ d time purchased for PCIe x8...
