Posted 3 Nov 2024 by Conan Post: I haven't found any 6_Gaia zero credit work units yet but I did find 4 of the 5_Gaia work units on one of my machines. Does not seem to matter who gets the work unit back first both get zero credit, both work units were issued either at the same time or within minutes of the first WU sent out. Work Unit 197979 Work Unit 197577 Work Unit 197594 Work Unit 197546 Thanks Conan |

Tasks do not suspend
(Message 544)
Posted 31 Oct 2024 by Conan Post: I have been noticing this behaviour when the project restarted this year (2024). When I suspend the project any work units that were in progress keep running in the background. The BOINC Manager screen says the WU is suspended and the time does not progress, but it is still running and will suddenly go to completed and ready to report when it should not of been running. If the BOINC Manager then suspends the project itself the same thing happens and work units that were running keep running despite the BOINC Manager saying they are stopped. It interferes with other projects that are trying to run. Conan |

Posted 28 Oct 2024 by Conan Post: I still can not get one slow host to successfully run the Gaia_5 tasks, even with this new 8560 GFLOPS size value. My older i5 computer just got it's first success with that 8560 GFLOPS setting, it had failed hundreds with the last batch. Has over 3 hour run time so waiting for more to finish Conan EDIT:: 2 more just validated with the same run time. |

Posted 28 Oct 2024 by Conan Post: Dropping back to 3600 GFLOPS does not change much other than run time from around an hour before exceeded time limit error it is now 12 minutes 47 seconds. All still failing unfortunately Conan |

Posted 25 Oct 2024 by Conan Post: I now have a bunch of Gaia 5 tasks failing with time limit exceeded around 15min31sec. Here's an example: Yes I just had a whole batch (100) of these as well. They have the updated rsc_fpops but this made no difference. Mine were 5_31xxx See https://gaiaathome.eu/gaiaathome/result.php?resultid=146041 Conan |

Posted 24 Oct 2024 by Conan Post: I recalculate the rsc_fpops parameters and I am waiting for new results ... I have had some successes with 3,600 Gflops but most didn't work. The new 1,264,000 Gflop estimate is working well and I have a page of successful results so far. Also with the new rsc_fpops estimate I have a 4_Gaia be successful even though it failed 3 times before. Conan |

Posted 24 Oct 2024 by Conan Post: My first batch of 31 tasks had 3 successful results, they all ran for less than 2 hours 33 minutes. The other 28 tasks ran for 2 hours 33 minutes 50 seconds each. I have downloaded over 200 new tasks on a different host nut none have finished yet but have already gone past 3 hours run time so looks promising. Conan |

Posted 24 Oct 2024 by Conan Post: Sorry zupa, as I am watching all my 5_Gaia work units are going into aborted run time exceeded, at about 2 hours 33 minutes and 50 seconds. It was looking so good too. They got to 100% at about 1 hour 20 minutes and then stayed there. Conan PS: :-- I just had one complete normally after 2 hours 23 minutes.: |

Posted 24 Oct 2024 by Conan Post: All 21,000+ 5_Gaia work units have been removed, maybe to fix a setting. Conan And a minute later 2,700 work units reappear. |

Posted 24 Oct 2024 by Conan Post: The number of 4_Gaia@home tasks has dropped to less than 3,000 now. The number of 5_Gaia tasks has increased to almost 21,300, but these are yet to be released as none are being processed yet. Maybe cleaning out the 4's before the 5's are started? Conan |

Posted 24 Oct 2024 by Conan Post: @Conan He could just kill all the 4s and recast them with the 5 settings, couldn't he? Well you will do what you want to do. Things will be worked out, sometimes takes a bit of time. Conan |

Posted 23 Oct 2024 by Conan Post: It's alright Keith, I am helping to get rid of them, they don't run long. Yes could be cleared out if you know the exact batch that is faulty, but we are getting through them slowly. zupa is working hard to fix the problems, and I appreciate his efforts, for keeping the project going, as a lot of us thought it dead after nearly a year of nothing.

Posted 21 Oct 2024 by Conan Post: How long are these 4_Gaia@home work units supposed to run? I have one that has passed 16 hours and still running, using a full CPU core on an Intel i5 computer. I also get plenty running past 7 or even 8 hours on my Ryzen 5800X, 7900X and 7959X3D Conan |

64 task limit?
(Message 431)
Posted 21 Oct 2024 by Conan Post: The 1 work unit per core (on lower than 64 core machines) has been lifted and I now have more than 24 or 32 work units on my 24 thread and 32 thread machines. Should slow down the number of times the server is contacted as well. Thanks zupa for doing this. Conan Tasks in progress on the server have gone from 1,100 to 9,400 in progress. |
