Project Update

[Dingo]

Project has no tasks available.

[kashi]

My cache is full and Event Log shows no interruption to flow of work since 2.35PM which is the earliest entry, perhaps there was some trouble before that.

Are you attached to the newer findah.ucd.ie url and not one of the older urls?

After a rocky start where I lost many hundreds of tasks, I've been crunching up a storm since then. Not quite roaring up the charts but up to 76th so far which ain't bad.

Good point kashi & forgot to mention that if you had previously crunched FightMalaria@Home in the past that you would probably need to detach from there & then re-attach to FiND@home.  If you use boinc manager the correct project to choose is there under FightNeglectedDiseases@home.

Like kashi i've had constant work since I posted above.  But I have noticed in the message logs that occasionally(maybe every third of forth time) that it shows the project has no work.  I think that's just because the projects servers are getting hit hard by constant traffic from all the small work units coming & going.  If I look in the projects tab FiND@home is almost permanently in the "in progress" state because of the constant network activity going on.  But still all my PC's have 100's of WU's in cache & have never looked like running out. 


EDIT: As per kashi's keen eye massage is now message.  Mmm I wonder where my head was at the time? OK don't answer that..

Aha JugNut, a relaxing Saturday evening I see, with a massage from the Swedish Prime Minister.   Sorry, couldn't resist.

On a more serious note, yes that's right, FiND@Home is almost constantly showing "Scheduler request in progress" Status due to server trying to deal with deluge of so many short running tasks being reported by all the contributors. I don't mind because short tasks means big bikkies credit wise.

Good to see a few team members joining in, I think the current tasks are a mixture of both malaria and TB work, so if anyone prefers medical/disease prevention type of projects, FiND@Home is a nice choice. As a bonus, with a decent credit rate and not that many contributors it is easy to enjoy roaring up the charts, haha.

Yes they continue to run and cannot be suspended. Because of this I have found it better for my setup to run only FiND tasks on all BOINC cores and not any other projects at the same time. I vaguely remember reading on the forum that they also do not obey the use  'Use at most ...% of CPU time'. I never use that but control temperature and/or reduce lag by using only 7 or sometimes 6 CPU cores for BOINC.

So currently I have switched to WCG Outsmart Ebola Together project for a day or 2 now that it finally has tasks. Then I will swap back to FiND@Home before the remaining 4 million tasks are gobbled up by hungry contributors.
