i don't know if these ones will be processed in the future .. My understanding when project goes into hibernation the only work that will be processed as the work that is out in the field and possibly any work that misses its deadline. Perhaps the tapes you mention will be processed after the project returns from hibernation whenever that may be ![]() |

New Arecibo files are still being added. Yes I am aware that these tapes keep getting added I presume this will happen right up until the 31st ![]() |

I and I think many others will keep the project app installed and cycling simply because it will be pretty cheap to do so. All it will take is some ram and a little bit of time on your CPU. While I am not sure Seti@Home will accept a "0" resource-level I have no doubt if I set it "tail end charlie" settings I use on my lowest priority projects it will still poll often enough to pull anything down if it is available.

If there's nothing to get, BOINC will just move on. ![]() ![]() |

It has been mentioned in a thread somewhere that when RAC falls too low the user can no longer post to the message board. There was some expectation that the "powers that be" will remove that restriction in order for the message board to continue to function for exchange of ideas, etc. There is another similar situation that occurs to me. If, at some future time, a new set of applications is developed for the Seti user community they would get distributed automatically to those hosts that are still running the stock apps; but NOT to the hosts running the optimized versions in anonymous mode. The only way we (anonymous hosts) would find out about such new apps would be through these message board posts. Just another reason to keep the message boards open for everyone. |

One possible work-around would be to rename the "app-info.xml" file so that Seti@Home would send down tasks whenever they become available. And if the apps use an entirely different data format we would be covered too. Tom A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association). |

how... do I get a machine to do tasks in (reverse) order of deadline (before the "oh, c3@p - hi priority - aaaww, you missed the deadline, no credit for 48 hours of cpu time) right now, one machine is crunching 29-30 april deadlines while 03 april sit and wait... please and thank you Member of the 20 Year Club ![]() ![]() |

how... I am not sure if there is another way to do it but this is the way that I would go about it select all of your tasks and click the suspend button then resume the task or tasks that you want to run ![]() |

how... There is another way, but requires you to make changes on the client_state file. If you not know how yet, better not try. Is easy to crash the entire cache. Be aware, if you suspend the WU your host will stop to ask for more work. Better leave the the scheduler control your crunching order. When the WU approaches it deadline it will automatically put it at the top. my 0.02 ![]() |

how...Of course the more you fiddle with things, the more likely your are to miss deadlines without having to fiddle with them again in in the future. Which makes it more likely you will miss deadlines, unless you fiddle with them again. Which will make it more likely you will miss the deadline... Notice the pattern? Given it takes a bit over 4 days for some of you systems to return work, it's going to be over 2 more weeks before those 03 April deadlines become an issue. And given that the slowest of your systems can do then in under 6 hours, even if they don't start until a day out from the deadline they can still be done & returned with no problem.

thanks all I was afraid "select and suspend" was the direct way don't want to lose AP credits... Member of the 20 Year Club ![]() ![]() |

thanks allEven for AP work, your slowest system should be able to do one in 10 hours or so. Grant Darwin NT |

thanks all If you install or have running BoincTasks it is slightly easier, it lists all non-running tasks of a single type ie: all GPU v8 in one line, all CPU v8 in another line, all GPU AP's in another line. By right clicking on a single line you can suspend all ready to start tasks that are non AP, and what I do is to allow the AP's to run for a few seconds then suspend them, when the last AP's are running I resume the AP'S and then resume the rest of the tasks, the started AP's will then be given priority over the other tasks. If you are doing that with CPU tasks suspend all your non running tasks then suspending one or more running tasks will save you the wait time before one finishes. Just remember to resume all work so that downloads start. Kevin ![]() ![]() ![]() |

While distribution of NEW work will stop at the end of the month work in progress will still be accepted back and credit awarded as required. Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

It seems that folding@home is researching COVID-19 https://www.guru3d.com/news-story/foldinghome-put-your-cpu-and-gpu-in-use-against-the-corona-covid-19-virus.html, has anyone done anything with them? I don't see them as a BOINC listed project. ![]() ![]() I don't buy computers, I build them!! |

I don't see them as a BOINC listed project. I read somewhere on this website that Rosetta@Home is also doing research on Corona so if you want to stick with BOINC you can still help.
