I tried running SPT on a single cpu droplet hired from The Science Cloud but it refused to get any tasks. Next I used a 12 core with AVX-512 and it downloaded 12 tasks and started crunching successfully.

Why doesn't the single core instance get work?

The single core client attached
https://boinc.termit.me/adsl/show_host_detail.php?hostid=859
0.96GB

ATM the client is showing 1.198 GB used per task so not enough to run a single task if BOINC project exe used all 100%.

No I didn't forget, I just didn't want to waste my hard earned $$S on a project that you stated needs more memory than is available on the single core The Science Cloud instances.
