1) Questions and Answers : Windows : Blocking error in S@H task (Message 1962717) Posted 31 Oct 2018 by Grzegorz Skoczylas Post: I know but AFAIK these are global options. Maybe one day I will use a different computer with such a card.

2) Questions and Answers : Windows : Blocking error in S@H task (Message 1962687) Posted 31 Oct 2018 by Grzegorz Skoczylas Post: Small correction: I unchecked option for using Intel GPU. Both ATI and nVidia GPU are checked.

3) Questions and Answers : Windows : Blocking error in S@H task (Message 1962668) Posted 31 Oct 2018 by Grzegorz Skoczylas Post: I unchecked "Use ATI graphics card" and left "Use nVidia graphics card" checked. I'll see how this will affect the efficiency of calculations. Thanks for advice. :-)

4) Questions and Answers : Windows : Blocking error in S@H task (Message 1962025) Posted 26 Oct 2018 by Grzegorz Skoczylas Post: From time to time it happens that the S@H task never ends. In the BOINC client I see, that there is no progress for the task. Estimated time to the end is, for example, 60 days, while there is only 10 days for deadline. I have to handle it manually. One of such tasks is here: https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=7032424864 You can see that there was some error during the calculation, but the task can't finish its action. Additional strange facts: My computer is equipped both with Intel GPU and with nVidia but this tasks utilizes only iGPU I also participate in other projects where there are tasks using the GPU. There are never such problems.

5) Questions and Answers : Wish list : Tasks are too big (Message 1950080) Posted 16 Aug 2018 by Grzegorz Skoczylas Post: I noticed the tendency that the calculation of the package takes longer (on the same computer). Gradually, the computer needs more and more time to process the data from the package. For example, currently my computer is processing package for over 4 days and it still needs almost 55 days to finish it (using Intel GPU!). It is slim change that this package will be calculated before deadline, even though I'm calculatin on a quite powerful computer. By creating such large packages you will be able to earn points rarely (compared to other projects) and there is a high risk that after two months of work I will not get any points at all, because I will not be able to complete the calculation on time. This discourages participation in this project. I have been a member of this project for many years, but in this situation I am more and more often wondering whether I should not devote the power of my computer to projects with better results. :-/
