Using Boinc on various projects and, for the 1st time ever, I've got a computation error. Work unit name is AF201505220000_1000_0191_1

Greetings!!

Joyfully, new WU were downloaded and processed.
Then, new WU were delivered in a suspended (req by user) state.
Anyone know why?

Is there a daily max?
I have set my Boinc option to get 1.5 days of WU.Is that considered hoarding?

I have been unable to use either project or task controls in BOINC to get the task to resume.
I have other projects with no tasks available (SI-Dock, Asteroids, and LHC.)
I have set Einstein@home to 'No New Work' when I try to get DENIS tasks.

I have aborted all tasks, reinstalled Boinc and boinc-client; and rebooted; new WU are all suspended.

I looked into the code for possible reasons and found these:

:/var/lib/boinc-client/projects/denis.usj.es_denisathome$ strings DENIS_Fiber_1.00_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu |grep -i susp

Any suggestions?
I can't find a linux process that be running a timer. None of the suspended tasks show up on 'htop'.

Thanks in advance,
Jay
PS, I have 28 (suspended) DENIS tasks, a CPU with 8 processors, and each task has an estimated
run time of 1:28:36

1.5*28/8 = 5.25 hours. Not too much....

PPS
Would there be a debug flag to help?

It's now 12 May and nothing to work on. Did it finish while I wasn't looking? Or is something broken?

What do you mean no science? His work is way different than anything else on here......So I don't know where you get the idea of no science.

If they don't validate the wus, they have NOT scientific results of their simulations.
And, if you don't have scientific results you have not science.
It's simple.

I don't know where you get the idea they are not validated.
The tasks are. I have only 3 pending.
Quit being impatient. This project works just like all the rest tasks come out, we process them and send them back. Their system processes them as it is programed to do. Tasks require 2 machines to process the results and then the task is put in queue for validation. Is that done by a human or a computer, I don't know. But I know he will not let the data go to waste.
This project is watched over much better than Rosetta which is a orphan child project now after being the leader for so long.

Boinc has a built-in system to validate the tasks but it does require Admin intervention to keep it running, whether they are using it, I'm guessing they are, or not doesn't matter that tasks ARE being validated! That means Science IS being performed, now whether it meets the Science they are hoping only an Admin can say. But for me I'm crunching here just like all the other Boinc Projects because I have no ability to do ANY Science Projects like Boinc has!!

Mikey...as you know there is a external project for protein folding you can run. But it is not with gridcoin. It is just its own world. But for non protein stuff, yeah BOINC is the only place I know of to crunch such stuff.

Please educate me. What is nPDDD ?

The code where most of the time is spent is generated, and if those models change with each version, rewriting it efficiently for a GPU could be challenging...

As boboviz mentioned, the app (and the server) isn't stable yet, so it's a bit too early to start thinking about GPU versions.

There is an issue with CloudFare config causing connections to fail, being worked on.

Hello everyone,

I have also noticed the alarming number of WUs still pending validation, and although we don't really know what is happening, and I don't have direct access to the server (only Jesus has access), we believe that it is because of something that systems have put on the server.

I tell you briefly, the other day in a meeting, Jesus told me that for security directives they had put a service that analyzes the incoming and outgoing traffic of the server. And what does this have to do with the problem, because we believe that this process is analysing all the incoming and outgoing files to the server, so it is consuming a lot of available resources and making the validation go to very large extremes (as you can see, now it is almost 33k), making it much more difficult to validate the incoming results from your computers to the server.

A while ago I got in touch with Jesús, although now it's more difficult for him to check the mail, since it's a public holiday in Spain, and therefore it's also more difficult to find a quick solution. I'm going to pass the thread to him urgently so that he can see it.

We will keep you informed.

Best regards,

Iván.

Woah, I wasn't aware of this, thanks for mentioning that CPU benchmarks have to be run on all new rigs!

Now, I think it is solved!
Please, confirm.

I did have to copy and paste the website address from the webpage into Boinc to make it work though as clicking on the one inside the Boinc Manager still doesn't work.

ive seen you say this a few times. but it makes no sense. the link in BOINC is exactly the same as the link on the website. copy and pasting makes no difference. tried it on a host of mine that will not connect and it again made no difference if i used the url that BOINC already has or the link from the website. since they are identical, predictably, i get identical results that a project could not be found.

Well since now that one stats site that WAS working has stopped updating, it does kind of matter.

Got blocked by Cloudflare with a delay ))

It's been several days now. That smells more like settings were rolled back to minimise traffic and somehow cut costs.

Nope Free-DC works just fine for Dennis, try this link:

https://stats.free-dc.org/stats.php?page=userbycpid&cpid=3dce20b63cea22cd34177f9b634205a5

At the time I posted that, it was NOT working "fine" and had not updated in several days.

I have given permission for Denis to appear in Boinc, but since you got everything up and running again, Denis is still not visible there.

Beats me. I updated my Win10 PCs to 8.02 and now they both can communicate. None of the Linux PCs can even with some of them on 8.x.
I tried using boinccmd vs BOINCTasks to add it to a Linux PC and cannot communicate that way either.

My one working Debian box has stopped receiving WU's from the server. Is this happening to anyone else?

I have a second system I would like to add, however it join the project for some reason. When I try to use the GUI to join I get the error message "Project not found. The URL you provided was not that of a BOINC project."

If I go to command line and run

boinccmd --project_attach https://denis.usj.es/denisathome/ <my account key here>

and while that does add the project it doesn't initialize. It tries to communicate with the server once and it gets a one minute back off, tries again and gets a three minute back off, and finally tries again and gets a 24 hour back off.

If I try to run

boinccmd --lookup_account https://denis.usj.es/denisathome/ <my email address> <my password>

I get the following response:

status: Success
poll status: operation in progress
poll status: permanent HTTP error

This is odd to me because sitting right next to this system is another Debian box with the project added to it.

...and trying to add the project this occurs: This is a Ubuntu Linux box. Boinc 7.18.1
On the others where the project is already added I get what the others get.
The other Linux boxes have Boinc 7.24.1

Thanks reply.

* There was no work available for you type of operating system/CPU/type of computer.

Perhaps this. Because I use MacBook Air Late 2020(Apple M1).
