McAfee came with my computer parts. I haven't renewed it.

I use Malwarebytes Premium. Supposed to have web, malware, ransomware and exploitation protection.
If you don't renew it, it's completely worthless, just slowing down everything, so uninstall it. And of course you should never have more than one antivirus installed at once, that's like asking for unnecessary problems and performance issues, so if you want to stay with Malwarebytes, than uninstall McAffe.

But actually all you need today is Windows Defender, it's free and not as annoying as that McAfee crap and most other AV-suites with all their false positives, completely unnecessary features and extreme system load. AVG was good, 10+ years ago, wouldn't recommend it today anymore and I also wouldn't pay anything for AV today when a good one comes for free with Windows.

I did it. A lot of time.
No results
Same here, not spending my time on that anymore. Apparently there's not one single mod here. They should also consider an invite code like for example SRbase has, that should keep most bots away.

I just wanted to give the mods a heads up so they can delete the garbage lol 😂
Are there any mods still here? Mod.Sense has not been active since December 2020. Spam threads in Cafe are several months old.

Yep, same here. Rosetta should have an invitation code for creating new accounts, that would significantly decrease spam accounts, and accounts with 0 credits should also not be able to post everywhere, just in Number crunching in case someone needs help. And of course we need here admins, who delete any crap in reasonable amount of time.

This often used to happen to resends here on Rosetta IIRC in case when someone returned a result after the deadline but before the resend was returned, than the resend got stuck like that. First time I see it in case when the resend was returned first, as than the resend should have been validated and the original task eventually stuck (or not). Anyway, nothing you can do about it, the server admins have to give it a kick.

I have gaps right now even though I am running five main projects.
How's that possible with Einstein and Milkyway in the mix? They always have work available. Of course you must not mess with max_concurrent in the app_config just to meet the exact amount of cores you want for each project, that's not done for that, that's to limit applications that cause issues if running too many WUs for that app at once and needs some overlap to work properly, in particular if running that many projects.

Store up to an additional 1.5 days of work. (This is not large enough to coast over the gaps.)
This is the issue, not the deadlines here. Yes, they are low and probably they could add a day or two without any issues on their side, but that's not the main issue you have. With Einstein, Milkyway and Universe as backup projects completely unnecessary to have such large cache, no idea about Universe, but at least Einstein and Milkyway should always have enough tasks.

I use an APP_CONFIG to run all my projects. I can set to run just 1 beta WU, never tried to set max tasks to 0.
0 means no limit.

The SP is lower overall, I'm surprised they make a card that slow nowadays.
It's lower overall, but about 2.5x higher per Watt. That's a huge difference if you don't run Milkyway on it. Gaming performance (and that's what GPUs are actually made for, not for BOINC) is higher than Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition, which burns 300W instead of the 75W the GTX 1650 is using. Yes, the Tahiti cards are great in particular for Milkyway and BOINC in general, but let's not act like that was what GPUs are primarily made for. It would be nonsense for the average GPU user to buy 2019 a Tahiti card when they can get better performance in games at about 25-30% energy consumption.

My GTX 1650 does Milkyway task in about 6 minutes.
That feeling when 2019 GPU is slower than 2013 gpu.

Well, Tahiti is High-End, the 280X has 250W TDP, GeForce 16 is the Low-End of Geforce 20 series, the 1650 has 75W TDP and it's launch price was half or (a lot) less of any of the Tahiti cards. Outside of that very special Milkyway application, the 1650 isn't bad at all, the SP Performance per Watt is even a lot higher.

That is a very interesting strategy. I must think more about it.
Well, it has lots of advantages, for myself and the projects:

- I don't need to watch BOINC too carefully or even spend my time on pressing the retry button, forcing additional scheduler requests etc.
- I don't add load to already overloaded project servers
- I don't "steal" work from unattended computers without (working) backup projects, so less idle computers, more science done

Of course there are some limits for this strategy, Moo! for example was the last BOINC project supporting my HD3850, so even if it would have some issues, there was simply no other project to which I could move that GPU (except crunching directly for distributed.net of course). Users of for example Macs with Apple CPUs might face similar issues. But a standard x86_64 CPU running Windows or Linux can be moved nearly to any project.

I have about 15 projects, but I only run about 4 at a time, and sometimes half those are ones with rare work. So I have a big cache so I get some of the rare work instead of just the other projects filling in.
I follow a different strategy: projects with rare work or overloaded servers (so in my case WCG & Rosetta) have obviously more than enough computing ressources at the moment, so i set them to NNT and allow new work from those, that can offer continuous supply with work, i.e. they actually need more computing power than they currently get.

That and backup projects should be set to 0% and not something like 0.xx%.
Can't do that with Milkyway, you get 40 seconds of work.
That highly depends on wether you ask for CPU or GPU work and also on your GPU, I'd get there at least 9.5 minutes of work for my GTX 275.

Furthermore, it seems to me it takes much longer than a month to approach my desired ratios, even when all projects are continuously sending out work.
Because you are running multiple projects with a large cache.
The more Projects you run & the larger the cache, the longer it takes for your Resource share settings to be met.
That and backup projects should be set to 0% and not something like 0.xx%.

The 4 I gave up on, the OS was so outdated it kept going wrong or refusing to run most projects.

My works with Einstein BRP4, Moo! and WUProp. But I'm using NativeBOINC and not the official client on it.

I like all their projects, I just want to avoid Covid CPU. So I've set as you said, which should give the CPU anything but Covid and make the GPU resort to Covid. We'll see if their server actually does that....
It will as long as there's work from other projects available, but sometimes you might get OPN1 in case that's the only thing in the feeder. Unfortunately they don't have separate preferences for OPN1 and OPNG.

So I do Einstein instead, they have enough FGRP5 work for everyone (and servers capable of sending it out to everyone, who requests it) and that's CPU-only work, so it seems like a good idea to let my CPU do some of those.
I'm doing the radio stuff from them (as it's a new thing a PhD student came up with), it runs on smartphones, CPUs, internal graphics, and discrete graphics, so everything I own can do radio waves at once.
Isn't "the new thing" BRP7? BRP4 is old and when reporting issues about it, it's always "low prority". But yes, my Android device is running that as the only project (with Moo as backup), nothing else runs on it, it has just Android 4.0 and almost no storage available.

It may not improve server throughput, but why waste our CPUs on something a GPU could run? I refuse to do CPU work for them until they get their act together. I could be using far less of my own resources on covid work there.
Once they have enough work for the projects you want to run on your CPUs, you can limit OPN to OPNG by selecting just the projects you want on CPU and enabling "If there is no work available for the project(s) I have selected above, please send me work from another project.".


And I doubt the money needed to upgrade the server is much compared to running a huge institute with several departments full of expensive professors.
The issue in such huge institutes isn't usually the amount of money, it's just complicated and needs time to get it approved to spend them on something, in particullar if you can't use the money you've already got for something else and want additional money. If you just want to change the use of money you already got approved, it's usually easier. So it might depend on wether they can repurpose some "IT money" for this or if they need additional money.
