I've read that versions have a limit on how many logical cores they are able to use. I think it was either 32 or 64 for the 7.14.2 version I use. ID: 92616 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

The lower part appears to say that only 5 tasks are now available. I expect them to be gone quickly. ID: 92626 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I installed as a service, so it needs a reboot after install... Can you create a cc_config.xml file, save it in the BOINC Data Directory (Usually C:/ProgramData/BOINC, you can check the event log for the correct path) with this, changing "N" to the numbers of Threads you want to run: <cc_config> <options> <ncpus>N</ncpus> </options> </cc_config> I remember someone at the WCG forums with a 32C/64T AMD CPU that was running only 32 tasks. Once you save the file, go to BOINC-Options-Read Config Files or something like that. Doesnt make any difference I have other servers that are running fine on 80 cores with load on all 80.... So it's not that BOINC does not support it. I really don't know why it's happening here. ID: 92627 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Yeah, workunits aren't being generated, I think. The queue was well over 1 million just yesterday. There are still 1.5 million tasks showing as waiting to return, so it's mainly a matter of our task buffers running down, but new users will be met with no tasks to download at all which can be discouraging. There are ways to extend the life of existing tasks, but better to wait and see if supply comes back on stream for a while first. Turnaround time remains important.

Turns out they are just resends due to computation errors and 1 deadline miss, but the last queue update does show 13k tasks. ID: 92648 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I like it when we can keep up with the workload. I enjoy trying to empty the Milkyway cache with my 5 GPUs. It's a pity I can't run Rosetta on them. 17 Teraflops would be good for Rosetta.
