I have a quick question about Windows 10 page file.
I know that the size of the file is reset to the recommended size after reboot, but is there any way to reduce the size without rebooting ?

I am running Rosetta on a system with limited disk space, and it fetches tasks successfully after a reboot, but the Swap Page File grows while Rosetta tasks are running.

Have we yet developed something more secure and user friendly?...

Looks like someone has messed with the back-off parameters again. Instead of a consistent 30 minutes, it's now 15 minutes for a couple cycles then bounces you out to 24 hours.

read the red text it tells you ;)

YOUR result was marked as invalid. so it goes in YOUR invalid list. but the entire WU as a whole was marked as an error due to too many other people erroring it out (computation error, abandoned, timed out, etc) which created too many resends. i think it just stops and marks it as an error if it goes out to like 8+ people.

You probably caught it in the middle of being purged, with most of the tasks already gone. The entire thing is inaccessible now.

It might not load comments if you’re not a Facebook user. Just a guess.

. . And a damned good one :)

:(

So why not set NNT and allow the rest of us the chance to get a few?

I suppose everyone want to "crunch the last WU"

Well 2 out of my last 5 Tasks were USEFUL, because they helped to complete Workunits that still needed Validation

What is the point of crunching work on a super fast GPU that has already been VALIDATED days ago by 2 or 3 slower hosts ?

I would estimate that around 90% of Mr 1337's tasks are already validated !

My final Pending https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=3953270075 was one of 7 that had him as the original wingman. The other 6 are already validated days ago, but the 1337 guy still hasn't got around to them yet !

Perhaps even too many and that leads to the current situation...

The problem is that Boinc prefers handing any new tasks to those hosts that already have work.

Hosts that have work do scheduler requests as often as the cooldown allows. Empty ones end up having several hour backoffs between requests. So the empty hosts that could return the results almost immediately never get them.

HI Juan,
My apologies. I was not blaming GPUUG, I just used it as an example for why Ian refuses to explain what I was seeking to understand. That's it.
As for Github and stuff like that, I'm not privy to its use or what it does and really not that interested. Every time I see the name "Github" I think programming. I'm not a programmer.
And so, despite Ian's lack of explaining what I wanted to understand, you have done it in your post and I thank you. :)
Again, my apologies and have a great day! :)

. . Hi,

. . Since you mentioned Github, I heard a rumour from a new acquaintance that M$ are trying to get control of Github to achieve some kind of monopoly with their 'new' Linux based platform. Does anyone know anything about that. I thought Github was not commercial and therefore not up for being 'bought'.

Stephen

GitHub, Inc. is a United States-based global company that provides hosting for software development version control using Git. It is a subsidiary of Microsoft, which acquired the company in 2018 for US$7.5 billion. It offers the distributed version control and source code management (SCM) functionality of Git, plus its own features. It provides access control and several collaboration features such as bug tracking, feature requests, task management, and wikis for every project.

And last, you say the host in question is NOT spoofed. I beg to differ!

i don't think you know what spoofing means in this context. does his computer show more devices than he really has? no? then it's not spoofed.

Second, I watched when my main had over 200 GPU tasks and it was going through them like crazy. I saw that SETI had just over 6000 tasks RTS. So, I hit the update button because I had a dozen or so finished tasks. What happened? I was put into a 30 minute comms shutdown and got NOTHING. I reloaded the SSP and the RTS was down to 2 tasks in about a minute! If the scheduler is suspending comms for 30 minutes, how can a PC running tasks as fast as I was be "constantly returning work" and getting the lions share of the tasks

just bad luck. it happens. better luck next time.

Greetings,
How is it that a host with a Core 2 Duo CPU and 2 GPUs has 19,726 tasks in progress? My laptop had a Core 2 Duo CPU and an ATI GPU that could not run tasks and that laptop had no more than maybe 10 tasks at any given time. I don't get it! :\ Oh, I forgot, that host received 737 tasks TODAY!!!
Have a great day! :)

. . Hi Siran, you must remember, desktop CPUs use more power and run faster than laptop CPUs and 2 'modern' GPUs can chew through a lot of work 8-} For eg, my Core2Duo with just one GTX1050ti can chew through about 400 -500 tasks per day. But what I don't understand is how anyone is getting 737 tasks in a day, all I get is 'no tasks available'. :(

Just on the basis on CPU performance, you're comparing a laptop CPU from 2007 with 1MB cache and 1.7GHz clock speed, to a newer generation desktop CPU from 2008 with 6 times the cache and a 3.0 GHz clock speed. it would be more than twice as fast. but he's obviously not using the CPU for processing WUs, so why bother even bring it up. not very logical.

but as has been said before many times, a system that is constantly returning work will get more work from the servers than a system that is basically sitting there doing nothing since it is not having regular schedule requests and getting itself into long backoffs.

the user in question is not spoofing the GPUs, there are only 2 listed.

My laptop had a Core 2 Duo CPU and an ATI GPU

Your laptop has a dual core Pentium, not a Core 2 Duo. Just because it's dual core doesn't mean it's "Core2 Duo", which is a specific branding for that line of processors.

but you already know the answer to your question. How is it that you keep posting the same questions over and over that have already been asked by yourself and answered several times?
