To the right, “Computing Status” > Tasks Ready to Send = 0


I have been seeing that a lot too. Anyone got any ideas about why that is so frequent? Too many volunteers competing for a limited production?

A lot of the work has moved to a supercomputer platform using a new algorithm.

Where jobs are suited to the distributed applications, a researcher will set up a run which could be up to a couple of million work units and we’ll work through those but usually finish them before the next researcher comes along.

Many of you have unfortunately been affected by a recent attempt to purge spam (on Friday the 13th of all days) as we were asked by the UW IT to clean up our forums and remove spam accounts. I restored user accounts that have been deleted (and had credits) today. For those of you who have created new accounts with the same email, I changed the email to your new account so that the backed up previous account could be restored. Please let me know if there are remaining issues.

This does seem to have been fixed - thanks.

If you're still reading there are two other current issues:

1) boinc-files.bakerlab.org 128.95.160.135 and boinc-files.bakerlab.org 128.95.160.134 both have expired SSL certificates

2) the boinc-process server which runs the assimilators and validators regularly stop running.
Every week or 10 days they fail and it takes a few days to re-boot them.
Is there any way to put in a permanent fix or at least a regular (daily or even hourly) check?

3) Tasks that failed due to Computation Errors or which have failed validation for some other reason used to be awarded credits for work done in a subsequent daily cleanup job.
This job seems to have failed to run for something like a year and a lot of work now goes unrewarded for no fault of the affected user.
Can this job be reinstated. please?


After a period of no work at all, yesterday I got five R@H tasks, two of which ended as "error while computing."
