issue is it was not reporting any finish task.
it has zero work to report.

Since you are running multiple projects it will contact those servers even when it is finished with any Seti work.

It will be interesting to see whether or not the purge queue dramatically increases in the next day or so since numbers have come down

it went on for 5 more mins with no wu etc. just on seti.
then finale stop

Are you saying the results only sit in the purge queue for 5 minutes or are you referring to something completely different?

---

lets say you only had 1 project on a pc.
and then you choose no new task. with zero wu on said pc.
it did the request server for 5 mins and then finale stop.

Thanks for clearing that up I understand now

Got a dozen errors and I wonder why on only this computer.

Finish file present too long errors. Computer too busy or didn't wait long enough for BOINC processes to stop before turning computer off.

Fix is to wait a couple of minutes after stopping BOINC or update to client version 7.16.3 or greater.

Thank you.

Would another fix be to lower the total available cpu threads slightly to free up the "overcommitted" issue?

Yes, the issue is the cpu not having enough time to clear out the files because the cpu is too busy with work or has not enough speed or resources to handle the I/O because of multiple gpus for example spitting out results and checkpoints and having slow storage. Could help by changing over to SSD or PCIe M.2 storage over spinning rust storage as a possible fix.

I really don't know where it should go, so I will stick it here.
Come to think of it, I don't even know what "it" is that I should put here.

Ah well, I did do what the thread suggested :-)

Sonnet Unveils Solo5G: A USB-C to 5 GbE Network Adapter

Adoption of NBASE-T networks is proceeding slowly due to two reasons: expensive Multi-Gig Ethernet switches and sporadic support of NBASE-T by PCs. Fortunately, higher-end desktops as well as gaming laptops are finally getting native NBASE-T support, but when it comes to mainstream and ultra-thin machines, such support is a rare occurrence; so to gain Multi-Gig support they need external USB adapters.

Sonnet’s Solo5G is based on the Marvell AQC111U controller (since Aquantia is now a part of Marvell), allowing 5GbE support to be added to any PC with a USB port. The device supports 5GBASE-T, 2.5GBASE-T, 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX networks over Cat5e cables at up to 100 meters. The dongle also supports advanced LAN features such as flow control or 802.11p QoS and works like a typical network adapter, so a driver for an appropriate OS is required.

AMD's chiplet design affords massive cost-cutting opportunities

According to AMD’s slides, a third generation Ryzen processor with 16 cores built on a hypothetical monolithic 7nm process would cost more than twice as much as the chiplet version that puts the I/O on a cheaper process.
Guru3D make another solid argument for AMD’s use of the chiplet design. When fabricating big dies, you have a greater chance of bad yields. With lots of smaller dies on a wafer, the odds of something going south are reduced and you’re likely to end up with more working CPUs.

The device supports 5GBASE-T, 2.5GBASE-T, 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX networks over Cat5e cables at up to 100 meters.

Still need a router or switch capable of 5GBASE-T, 2.5GBASE-T, 1000BASE-T speeds to hook up all the devices in the network.

Those are still very expensive.

Thanks for that.
Posting while still waking up is fraught with danger.

I not sure whether I am helping contributing to the database issues. I am trying to decide whether or not when I run out of work in approximately 4 hours the majority of my work has not been _2 or higher. I processed these tasks as soon as I saw them. TIA for any assistance

This might come under the heading of micro-managing which is usually a very bad idea. On the other hand, if you were running hundreds of boxes or the data center equivalent then it probably could make a difference.

Given that your average turn-around time is >1/2 day, it would seem to me that trying to optimize that further is probably not worth the effort.
