Well, the claim is "Travel is broadening" so maybe trying out a different distributed processing system is too? Tom A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association). ID: 2038376 · Reply Quote

BOINCStats has a graphic view of total active hosts / users, etc at https://www.boincstats.com/stats/0/project/detail/host. It appears the active totals are dropping daily! ID: 2038489 · Reply Quote

Use Tools, Retry Pending transfers every now & then to give them a nudge to download. Aborting them will reduce your cache limit as they will count against you as errors and giving stuck down/up loads a nudge is a way better alternative. ;-) Cheers. ID: 2038662 · Reply Quote

If it is Berkely time that will mean it's 8 PM New Zealand time Berkely is 4 hours in front of me but a day behind? ID: 2038847 · Reply Quote

If it is Berkely time that will mean it's 8 PM New Zealand time Berkely is 4 hours in front of me but a day behind? Doubt it will be anything that coordinated or precise. More likely, at some point around the 31st Berkeley time there will be no more tapes loaded for splitting. When the splitters are finished with what they have that will be the end of new work. Probably the site will remain up, accepting uploads and doing re-sends where needed, for quite some time if they decide to keep it running to allow work to be completed and reported. That could take a few months. Just a guess, but I think a good one. ID: 2038848 · Reply Quote

Possibly a bad driver. See the sticky threads at the top of the forum. There's one problem with NVidia, a different one for AMD. Provide information. Have you tried switching it off and back on again? ID: 2038863 · Reply Quote

Last modified: 19 Mar 2020, 8:57:03 UTC Why am I getting lots of GPU workunits marked "postphoned, and the computer goes round in circles? Only cure is to abort them as they occur. Can't tell why, as your computers are hidden, but on NVidia normally that's a crashed driver or communication failure to the GPU that would be resolved by a cold boot. Check the BOINC log, it should tell the story. ID: 2038868 · Reply Quote

Wondering what's good for Linux these days. Running various flavors of 440 here, and haven't really seen any issues. Can't seem to recall, was this driver issue a Win-only thing?
