Almost missed that I made it to 19 years on the first of the month.
I always told those posting to the 20 year club that I would soon be there, but that may not happen now.

I'd be willing to bet that they just shut down the PC when SETI went into hibernation. Those tasks will sit there until the deadline is reached and the server(s) will have to send them out to other hosts. Like mine, which I still have set up to get GPU tasks. :)

Have a great day! :)

Siran

Not shut down as they downloaded a WU today.

Well it looks like I got 24 for the 29th UTC here.

Cheers.

That is what it looks like here as well.

12 on the 28th here. Hopefully the data will continue to catch up.

Now it shows 18 on the 28th for me. Wonder what the actual number was?

10) Message boards : Number crunching : OK, it's time to say "good bye" to SETI@home. :( Which (BOINC or non-BOINC) project after? (Message 2042177)

Here Einstein can use my 1060's and Rosetta can use what CPU cores are left over.

Cheers.

That is what I am planning to do but all my systems have filled up again and will be working on SETI for a little longer.

Really going to miss Number Crunching, I have read every post here for many years, even when I really had no idea what some were talking about. (especially Linux posts). I will miss you all and my morning sprint to this group.
Good Luck to you all and Keep Safe.

I has been one hell of a ride. I will never make 200,000,000 for SETI but managed it overall. I will miss this and will have to wait to see if I continue on the backup projects.
The other thing that I was hoping to make was the 20 year club, but that is not going to happen either.

Makes sense. I did not even think about that.

I just stole another 16GB of memory from other hosts to get 32GB installed in the daily driver which I added Rosetta to last night. Seeing up to 1.4GB per 8 hour task and generally around 1.1-1.2GB for most. Now I can run half my cores which was impossible on just 16GB.

I had to run only 28 cores on my 32GB Ryzen as I was getting halts for lack of memory when I was running 29 cores. I am runniing my three GPUs reserving 2 core each so there was not extra at 29 cores .

You can tell the website how long you want the cpu to run a task and it will send you ones that run near that. When I had it set to 1 hour, I got tasks that ran about 1.5 hours or less.

I am experimenting with the default setting (8 hours) to see if I get more Coronavid19 tasks.

Tom

I am running at 4 hours and am getting about 50% COVID-19 tasks.

18 for the 28th, and quite a ew on the CPUs which take about 10 hours each.

Basically I am unable to find out. It takes too long for the Tasks pages to load. I know I have been getting quite a few as I see them in my lists of working WUs.
