I believe its on the user, not the admin here. With such a large memory footprint of ~1.2GB per task you have 14.4GB of your 16GB of memory tied up if all 12 threads are running. Doubt thats enough left for Win11 let alone anything else. The user needs to start any investigation by saying what else was running at that time.

You probably ran out of memory.

You said you left the project. Why are you still posting here?

Seems to still be running to me as the 'admin' isn't really in control.

I just use google translate in my browser which will translate the page.

Memory usage is too high for an andoid app IMO. It's a lot of a PC let alone something with limited space like a phone/tablet.

They are just spam accounts made by bots. Most have the same format with capital letter for first and last name and maybe some numbers at the end.

1. Why?
Bots do not write spam messages.

2. How to prohibit bot registration?


I never said they write anything. But they sign up. Other BOINC projects get them as well, many more than here.

It probably has something to do with this. Which I already reported.

I wrote earlier: The server did not see them all and automatically reassigned them to recalculation.


An example of one of my tasks
The "Work Unit" (514295) in invalid on the first time it was sent out (Task 794202). Task 946796 was never sent.

https://boinc.termit.me/adsl/workunit.php?wuid=514295

But the Work Unit never gets a 2nd task. Demis said it is reassigned somehow. But BOINC servers should be assign it as a 2nd task of the same Work Unit, not another work unit.

Top 20 computers only have this type of invalid in that period from Aug 19-20th.

It will be very interesting if all 1048 "invalid" WU by fzs600 refer to my version!


Go through the top PCs, check their invalids that were returned around Aug 19th that were completed OK but have no file and verify.

I had also aborted/reset my work due to the issues.

There are tasks marked as invalid that are not being resent to be validated.
https://boinc.termit.me/adsl/workunit.php?wuid=514295

Look on Your link:
https://boinc.termit.me/adsl/result.php?resultid=794202
We see "Validator: Output file absent"
Server reassign these wu for other by query:
https://boinc.termit.me/adsl/result.php?resultid=946796


So the server lost thousands of results returned by users? It's not just me.

Making another task is not the same as reassigning it to another user.

Ok fine, to be more specific, you didn't notify them of an ending.

You do realize one project can have more than 1 application.

They probably have an August 04 deadline. If not executed by then, they will be cancelled and reissued by the server to new hosts. So, I assume you have to wait until at least the 4th unless cancelled by the admin before then.

What's up with fzs600? These WUs don't run that long. When was the last WU returned from that user? If not in the last day, then they are either orphaned or queued up behind some other long running work.

Are we actually waiting for the queue to drain to fix a problem? If no, let's reload some work and move on...


Every task has a 2nd host already. Thats why we're waiting for the update to get each work unit to create 1 task instead of this race condition to see who can return it first for credit.

The last ones I received were already _2 and _3.

Users do not want their resources wasted by the server canceling tasks, especially if tasks are canceled while they are actively being worked on.
