I have been running some tasks on a test machine recently (to evaluate some GPUs). According to Boinc Tasks,, none of the CPU WUs processed seem to have shown up on the Tasks window for the machine on the servers.

That is, they show up in BT's History screen as Reported, but not under the BOINC Tasks screen for the test machine ("RIVE")..

Any idea what might be wrong? The last GPU WUs were processed, sent and received and show up on the servers, but not these. Where might they be?

Added:

To be more precise, the last GPU WU was finished and reported just before 4am EST (9amUTC), and is seen on the servers. But I have completed and reported a couple of dozen CPU WUs since then, and they do not show up on the servers, and I just can't figure out why.

A local log is kept on the machine which does the crunching. It's called "job_log_setiathome.berkeley.edu.txt", and it's placed in the root of the BOINC data directory.

One line is appended for each task successfully completed, and the log is never rotated or truncated (the one on this machine is now over 40 MB). If they're anywhere, that's where they'll be.

If your question is about BOINC Tasks, you'll have to ask eFMer.

Did you do a data folder recovery? You may have tasks onboard that the servers have deemed aborted.
They would likely show up in the error list, unless they have been validated by others.
Just a thought ...

My bad - by scrolling down in the task list, I DID find them - they were buried several pages deep in the valid/pending lists, with the correct report times; I just hadn't gone that deep in the pages before, naively assuming that they would be (at least roughly) in time order, especially since they were the only reported WUs since 9am UTC.

It is very difficult to find cpu tasks on the website completed list because the ratio of gpu to cpu task is so high. You either have to whack in a 1000 offset in the URL to stumble upon them or spend minutes paging through the lists. The easier way to find them if you are using BT, is to simply highlight the cpu task in your History list that you are interested in and copy it to a text file. Highlight the task name in the text file and copy it. Now go to your Seti web page and use the search function on your Tasks list and paste the name into it. !Voila! You've found your cpu task.

It would be simpler (in my case) if the tasks list generated by the servers was in reverse time order of receipt of the completed WU. AND if they could be separately listed by type (CPU, GPU) or app, but that would require a lot of code, I would guess. And a lot of debugging, too.

Yes, that would be difficult. My solution takes 30 seconds.

But unfortunately, your solution doesn't find the specific WUs that I am looking for, those that were most recently sent back to the servers, alas...

Yes, it does.The BoincTasks History column shows the latest reported tasks at the top of the listing. Your most recent cpu uploads are at the top. If you have configured BT to show cpu tasks with a different color than gpu tasks, they stick out like a sore thumb. Just click on the cpu task at the top of the list, right-click to "copy selected to clipboard" Paste into a temp text file. Highlight just the task name in the text file and copy and paste it into the Search function at Seti. Instantly, your most recent cpu task reported is shown.

Hey - thanks for that suggestion. Didn't see it until just now.
