Hi,


Since the 7.2.42 update jobs are reported when done, but what about those unfinished jobs? Sometimes the system starts chewing on a new job, before being done with some of the jobs. I don't know why!? If it's because of a reboot or some other system glitch. In the older versions, jobs were only reported, when all downloaded jobs were done! Does Boinc somehow fix this by itself or do you have to change "priority" of the jobs not done?

It is normal behavior for BOINC to report work when it requests more work. Perhaps your system is just requesting work more often?
There is an option for the cc_config.xml to set report_results_immediately. If you want BOINC to specifically report every job once complete even when not requesting new work.

BOINC 7.2.42 does report tasks immediately when No New Tasks is set, IIRC a reaction to a complaint from a user who set NNT before going on a holiday break and came back to find that much of the work which had been uploaded before the setting change had not been reported so didn't get credit. A related change is that the report is done no later than one hour after task completion (that was formerly 24 hours).

That could happen with Boinc 7.0.x if you set your cache settings incorrectly,

with a Cache setting of 0 + 0.5 Boinc would ask for half a day's work, then wait for all the work to be done before asking again,
somewhere in the Boinc development after that, as well as reporting tasks after an hour, Boinc 7.2.x will also piggy-back a request when reporting,
instead of waiting until the minimum value had been reached.
