Huge 4 CPU task stuck at 17.188%, uses 0% of CPU, estimated time to finish 8 days?
(Message 70013)
Posted 8 days ago by  mikey
Post: Hi, Suspend every other task on the pc, set all zero resource share projects to no new tasks too so you don't get tasks from them, and see if it starts up again it could just need more memory with the other things you are running. If that doesn't work try suspending it too then resuming it. You cpu is fine. |

Post: My mistake. Those settings can also be adjusted within the Boinc Manager itself, the Boinc Manager is down by the clock and if you click the up arrow you can see it, then right click to bring up some options then left click on 'open Boinc Manager' Boinc will open up for you. After that click on Options, computing preferences and the first tab, computing, in the 2nd section is all about when to suspend Boinc. Doing it this way is a computer by computer setting but you can also do it for every pc if you click on your name at the top right of this page and then in the 2nd section. preferences, choose the top line 'computing preferences' and make your changes there. The choices of when to suspend when the computer is busy are the default settings in every version of Boinc, the newer versions tend to fix problems the older versions had like most recently an internet security certificate needed updating so they included it in with a few fairly minor changes. But if a version works for you you do not need to update just because there is a new version out there. |

Post: I see the credit figures and they do look reasonable. On your list of tasks it will list the ones with errors or computation errors and neither machine shows any problems with any of the tasks. BTW only you can see the actual machine names all we see is them sorted by the last time they connected to the project and a number 1, 2 etc. If you click on my name you can see my computers but not the actual names of the pc's just numbers. |

Post: I'm been running GPU work through a couple of machines that I have. Both machines are crunching just fine, the gpu jobs are much shorter than cpu jobs, mine are around a minute because I use older AMD gpu's, so will 'disappear' quicker from the machine. But if you look at your computers both of them are doing very well. You can see your computers here and then you can click on Tasks and see how each is doing: [url]https://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/hosts_user.php?userid=1116944[/url[ |

Post: Hi, thank you for reply, Alof of us no longer run the N-Body cpu workunits from here because of those types of problems, they have plenty of gpu workunits that finish faster and don't seem to have any problems running. There is a 10 minutes wait period before you get new tasks but if you run a zero resource project with short workunits it works out just fine. |

Post: Hi, everyone! It says 'suspended' that means your settings have the unit suspended for some reason, since your pc'sare hidden it's hard to tell but ideas could be because you have Boinc set to not run while you are using the pc, or because you are running some other Project at the same time. N-Body tasks use as many cpu cores as you have in the pc so trying to run another Project at the same time won't work very well. |

Hard Drive Space Question
(Message 69963)
Posted 25 Jun 2020 by mikey
Post: I was curious about crunching some giant work units. So I increased my hard drive space that BOINC can use from 10 gigs to 200 gigs. But BOINC only uses 5.54 gigs of space on my computer. MilkyWay only uses 24.81 MB of space. Can MilkyWay send me larger work units to crunch? Or are there other projects that do have large work units? Einstein has some large data files that the workunits use to run and Climate Prediction https://www.cpdn.org/cpdnboinc/index.php has some very large workunits that can take over 1 year to crunch. |

Post: I discovered the cause. I hope you can find one. If you are a wood guy you could always notch a stick and put it between the top and bottom of the case, a small screw thru the top and bottom of the case should hold the stick in place since it isn't really a bracket just a 'don't fall out' thing. |

Post: I discovered the cause. If you have the room lay the pc down on it's side until you get one. Can you make one or use a zip tie? https://graphicscardhub.com/gpu-brace-support/ I'm assuming that's what you mean |

Post: Can someone please tell me what logging option check boxes to set on BOINC to log the issue Click on my name and you can view my pc's and see what people could see about your pc's, it's not enough to make them any more hackable than they are right now. One suggestion would be to roll back the drivers to ones a bit older. Another would be to stop overclocking anything if you are are. |

Post: Isn't it fantastic need to find out if it was at my end or the milkyway@home end. Since you didn't make your computers visible and you didn't explain the problem it's very hard to try and figure out your problem. I run gpu workunits on multiple pc's and have no problems. |

Post: Hi all, Yup it's a known 'problem' here for gpu tasks...your pc must not ask for new gpu tasks for 10 minutes before it can get new ones, it's a setting an old Admin made that the new one can't find. Easiest answer is to setup a zero resource share project to run when you are out of MilkyWay tasks and after running a few of the other projects tasks your computer will ask for MilkyWay tasks again after more than 10 minutes has elapsed. |

Post: I doesn't matter if I have GPU checked or not I continue to get this notice!? You have not had a computer get any tasks since March, try reloading the gpu drivers Win10 updates often messes them up. |

Post: I just put milkway@home on a new iMac and the gpu is suspend. Why? Either you are using the wrong drivers or you are running too many cpu tasks. Mac's are funky and not all gpu drivers work. |

Post: I have a 64 bit system. I think you have cpu tasks but don't know why they aren't nbody tasks, nbody tasks by default will use all of your cpu cores on each task and your gpu grunching will slow waaaay down |

Post: openSuse Linux (Tumbleweed) x86_64, nvidia driver 440.59 The last part is the key "[Milkyway@Home] Not sending work - last request too recent: 77 sec" MilkyWay REQUIRES 10 minutes of not asking for new work before they will send you more gpu work, setup a zero resource share project and run a couple of their workunits until MilkyWay refills the cache. Cpu workunits do not have this problem, just gpu workunits. |
