I have not been getting any new work for a few hours now. Server status says everything is OK, so I'm not sure what is wrong.

Guess I'll start up another project and try again later.

I haven't gotten any work for these folks in a couple weeks, at least. The last News entry is from about four months ago, saying they were going down for maintenance.

What gives? Are they operational or not? Anyone know?

Hi seybernetx,

I saw that you only got one workunit on May 29, and some workunits in April. Do you have multiple VC projects crunching on the same host? They may compete for resources. Or do you have certain constraints setting on Docking@Home? Such as do not run when CPU usage exceeds a certain threshold?

Thanks,
Boyu

Boyu -

I have multiple projects working, but they had all been happily sharing things until recently. Docking acted like it was 'stuck' on one unit, and when I finally killed that one, Docking refused download any more work.

Everything else was still running fine, so I started to wonder if Docking was having problems.

UPDATE -

Good News: I now have a work unit from Docking.

Bad News: I have a dual-core system. As of this morning, BOINC(?) seems to have decided that it will only use one of these CPU's, leaving the other one idle a lot of the time, even with a couple work units from other projects sitting waiting to run. ehh???

Suggestions welcome.

Hi seybernetx,

Could you let us know: how many workunits are running simultaneously on your dual-core host? And which projects are they from? Are they CPU or GPU workunits?

Thanks,
Boyu

Boyu -

Things are starting to work like they used to. Not a clue what (if anything) actually caused the changes, but at least all my CPU's are busy for the moment.

Anyway, I currently have two workunits processing, one from SETI & one from Docking . I have a bunch from Fighting Malaria that have finished, and presumably are waiting to upload when we reach what ever time window BOINC is using.

I also have Rosetta as an active project, but nothing seems to have downloaded from there for the last day or two.

These are all CPU-only units -- the GPU I'm using is not supported for computations.

That's because after the announcement of the retirement of the project there has been a huge influx of crunchers wanting to get some credit before the project ends.....

It's a case of getting some when they are available..... I've managed to cache a few days worth but I'll need to try and keep them topped up over the next 20 days.

Servers "Not Running", only upload/Download and Web pages.

Perhaps they decided to shut down early and just collect already sent results.
