Well, hold off on the end of crunching for me. I just had over 150 WUs downloaded to the one machine that is still crunching. That will keep it busy for a while longer. Anyone else?

. . Pardon me while I scream ... I have seen that all outstanding tasks had a resend today UTC but, just as over the last few weeks, my 5 machines received NONE of them ... feeling unwanted <sulk>.
. . Well this round should clear up 99.9% of the project.

Sorry about that. The machine that is running these isn't the fastest on the planet, that's for certain. Oh well.
Everything else is crunching for PrimeGrid (lots of points), including a new laptop that has 8 cores and each core is completing a WU every 40-50 minutes. It's RAC should wind up exceeding the others combined. Too bad PrimeGrid doesn't take advantage of a GPU like SETI did.

. . No probs, I was just venting :) It seems to be one of those rules like Murphy's Law, the slowest machines are the most likely to get the any new work. If you are looking to utilise your GPUs then you might look at E@H, many SETI Orphans have taken refuge there.

An interesting problem here. I found that there are PrimeGrid options that will utilize the GPU in my laptop. So I downloaded some and they took off. Great. Now the problem is that they cause the laptop to use more power than the brick can provide, so the battery in the laptop is slowly (like totally killed in a day or so) depleted. So, no GPU jobs for that machine. Oh well...

Or upgrade to a better power supply.
One that can't charge the battery while meeting the full load demand of the laptop should never have been sold with the laptop IMHO.

. . Yep many GPUs in full song can soak up the power, which GPU was it? Also maybe the battery is getting old, as they age they develop higher internal resistance and will get hotter when heavily used making it even higher still so they will die very quickly under prolonged heavy drain.

I just got the laptop new for Christmas. The brick is the one that came with it. I guess I'll have to check with HP when I get home.

The N-Body part of the project seems the current one and has more explanations in more places, but irrelevant for me as it seems to be 64-bit only, so not getting any. The Separation part was the original project and according to the science page should have been finished in 2014 or so, but more runs were added after that. Found a post that may explain why and what's still being done. In short, seems like it's mostly testing the oddities in the results to see whether the program is trying to "say" something they hadn't thought of initially.

I am running both of them, the modfit on all eight cores of my Ryzen 5 1400 CPU and the nbody on one core each.

hi, for some laptop, there is power supply options , the default have 65W and options up to 90W power supply for the same models ...

. . Well I would not expect a battery that new to have such a problem. But like Grant I would think that the power pack should have enough grunt to power the machine at full tilt. And I have found HPs that I have used to be of fairly high quality, but maybe it is a lemon? Good luck with that.

. . I must stress that while crunching on a GPU can drive up the power consumption it is not usually as high as playing modern games with their high graphics load. And the power pack should sustain the machine while playing such games. Very strange.

Top 5% RAC? It'll only last a moment, but never saw that before. Just to show how few still had anything to do I guess...

All I have left now are 3 validate errors and those should change their status on the 22nd and 23rd of May.

Try running the Laptop on just AC Power, pull the battery totally out of the Laptop. See if the Brick will power the System while Crunching that way. MOST Laptops CAN run without the battery and just have the Brick power the System. In fact, a few years ago, it was even recommended that IF the Laptop were to sit for extended periods plugged in to AC Power that the battery SHOULD be pulled to prevent wear in constantly being topped off. I don't know if things have changed in that regard in the last three years.

My HP 635 laptop has been running 24/7 since 2014 and I have changed battery one time. Now it is running with battery charging 2%. Shall I have to order another battery from HP?

Apart from a couple of thousand 'Valid' tasks and less than a dozen 'unable to validate' tasks there is nothing in my queues. Everything that could be processed has been processed. Withdrawal sucks ...
