>>> little longer than me

Yes, you are a relative newbie!!!!!

If you consider the machines we were running back then, to keep run times sensible, the amount of calculation per work unit must have been a fraction of what we turn over today.

>>> Someone put movingstubs on the server without beta testing it

A little worrying.

>>> no one from the project pays attention to this

Would certainly seem to be the case.

>>> Not nearly as puzzled as i am by yours.

Oh, I see, my puzzlement is bigger than yours!

I still have no idea of what you're on about. Rosetta USED to be a project with endless work units from their various work projects to download and crunch. Since late last year, that changed. Now, it is a project that produces a batch of work, lets that run, then stops for an unknown period, until the next batch starts. I saw new work from Rosetta coming in, and watched them crashing quickly. After seeing that, It wasn't wasting vast amounts of time, but felt no new tasks was appropriate. Looking at the sent times, I see that three would come, fail and return. About 30 minutes later, another three would come, fail and return. After a number of these cycles, I set no new tasks. Some time later, I opened downloads to see what the status was, and nothing came. Conclusion, they have all gone, or that someone at the project had stopped them.

I am a little puzzled by your message actually.

>>> Did you even pay the slightest bit of attention to the statement i was responding to???

Well, I didn't really need to since the statement you appeared to be responding to was written by me? I do know how BOINC works, I've been with it, and Davids earlier version, (probably not the right word, but it conveys the meaning, anyway, since 1998), since its first appearence.

>>> Nothing to do with the project, that is normal behaviour for the BOINC Manager.

When a project has submitted a batch of work units that are immediately crashing in the cruncher pool, an in touch project manager can remove future downloads of the failing work units. It is exactly relevent to the project, and absolutely nothing to do with BOINC.

Perhaps someone at the project noticed the problem. I had a large number of these quickly crashing work units, on both my machines, but neither has downloaded new work for a couple of hours.

Having an app, is not the same thing as having work for it.

If you read the thread, I have never said that they do not have Windows apps. I KNOW they do, I have a considerable amount of credit from the project having run it for a very long time. I queried my inability to get any work, and was informed by a moderator, Les Bayliss, that the project was, at this time at least, Linux only. Earlier in the thread, I had posted an exact cut and paste, of what was said.

What I don't know is why you are talking about LHC.

>>> Last try to help you

As I have said, quite clearly in the thread, is that I would detatch my systems from their project, at least for the time being. Something I had already done.

If they have posted, officially, that they are linux only, well, fair enough. I simply drop the project from my systems.

They certainly have had Windows versions of their tasks, I have a lot of credits from them. I've not had any work from them for a VERY long time, and in the message above is a direct quote from their home page. It is entirely possible it may come back as something I could crunch, but I'm not holding my breath when I see the comment I quoted above on their official page.

From their website.

>>> What are you running on LHC? Sixtrack, ATLAS or ?

I've not had any work from LHC for a long time. It says it is pretty much Linux specific now.

I don't have any "friend" here either so cannot see. I decided in any case, not to accept the friend request. I am not overly sure what a friend here is, what it does or what benefits it accrues, that, in itself, suggests it is not something I need.

I am, by nature and experience, somewhat dubious of forum friend requests. Is it possible to unfriend an individual?

I've dug out the manual for my motherboards, (ASUS Sabertooth Z170 Mk 1), to check on the memory specs. The boards have four slots, so I am assuming, right now, that I can get another 16GB in each machine. It is fairly cheap nowdays.
I don't know why you say SiDock is not running, it is running fine for me...

I was suprised to see both of my machines, (4GHz i7's), were crunching just 4 Rosettas, the other virtual cores were idle. The tasks are a bit heavy on memory usage. I added a couple of projects, (SiDock and LHC),, to their portfolios for the time being.

* EDIT *

Later, I saw a couple of the Rosettas in the "Waiting for memory" state.

>>> The average for a default machine rather than the host's average.

Probably, a default machine with a default run time. Both my machines here are 4GHz i7's with 12 hour target run times. I'd set the time up a while ago, our network was busy at the time, it was a simple thing to do which chopped a little load off it.

>>> aborted by the server

Yes, I saw that. I've allowed new tasks again, there were a number waiting to start anyway, so I doubt the fairly short time I closed downloads actually had any noticeable effect.

I see my work units that were in that state, that I can still see on my results page, have been credited now. The credit is a little "odd", ie. it is 388 +/- 1 or 2. This is below, by quite a lot, what I would expect, the other tasks still visible on my results page show upper 400's to lower 500's. Everyone knows, of course, that the credit is not of any use.

>>> goes wrong after the server

So, it is still the case that the work is lost, or do the files still exist for retrying?

Since yesterday, I've had four work units run for the regular 12 hours I have set for target run time. Each has obviously run their model several times with different random start points. Each, at completion, has errored out with a status of 0x00000000. 48 hours of work dumped. No new tasks set on both systems.
