Do you both think that the data upload is the only processing that happens with tasks? BOINC servers keep track of the tasks, who has them, etc, etc. If you actually watch the attempted uploads, the progress bar completes. Some of the files are only 20 bytes so its not the bandwidth that is the issue here but the # of connections and database transactions going on in the background. The website is loading fine, another clue its not a bandwidth issue. Database performance seems to be the issue and you're both just attempting to justify your e-peen measurement contest at the expense of the project and everyone else. Do your own once of research.

emoga was temp banned at a project for doing the same thing so its not exactly appreciated by admins.

Magiceye04: More clients can always be setup to bypass tasks per core limit.

This again.

I'm gonna immediately abort all the ULX tasks I receive. Can't see any point in crunching tasks only to get "exceeded disk limit" error at the end.


Just unselect the ULX in your user preferences instead of receiving them just to abort them. The server is having enough issues with all the connections.

1 Read the other recent threads. No need for another on the same subject.

2 Tasks have disk limits. Its not the server limit, its not your entire disk limit, each individual task has a limit that was set much too small.

To many simultaneous uploads of huge ULX results files.
I will generate smaller batches for this app as results for it are quite large...

Also, even if we need more ULX's to be done I will also generate BHSpins to make easer to upload/download tasks for everybody.


BHSpins tasks actually work too.

I noticed some failing tasks, it was an _3 and all of the _3 tasks were from an earlier batch. ulx_500_#### vs ulx_500_#####

Whoops, I saw it downloaded some work and didn't check further. All fail for me too.

My Mint 17 system had this error. Ubunutu 18.04 systems ran fine. I tried updating libc6 from the repository but still had errors. There were limited tasks so I just set NNW.

BHSpin2 runs fine. Only ULX errors.

Your run time question was answered. With a static credit, run time and RAC are intertwined.

Anyways, I agree, credit at U@H was pretty high compared to other projects. I don't agree that making tasks 2-3 times as along in one abrupt change was the best way to get back a normal CreditNew credit level. (This is not a request for CreditNew. You can check with NumberFields to see what happened with they moved to it.)

Witam
Jesteem na universe dosc nowy i mam pytanie.
Jaka jest roznica miedzy operacjami zmiennoprzecinkowymi na sekunde a operacjami na liczbach calkowitych?
Ktory parametr jest lepszy do tego typu obliczen bo przy moim serwerze jest spora rozbieznosc (zmiennoprzecinkowe okolo 3 a stalo ponad 100)


Just using google translate says you're asking about floating point vs integer operations. Integers are whole numbers and floating points have decimals. Each set is performed by different parts of a processor. CPUs and GPUs have separate units for Int and FP calculations. I'm not sure how BOINC benchmarks work but its mostly meaningless. Universe has static credit per task so its not used here at all.

"Hello, I
'm a quite new universe and I have a question.
What is the difference between floating point operations per second and integer operations?
Which parameter is better for this type of calculation because there is a big discrepancy with my server (floating point around 3 and over 100)"

More denial. The output of the project has been cut in half.
https://stats3.free-dc.org/stats.php?page=proj&proj=uni

Clients should never, ever, ever get 'Project as 0 tasks' if there are actual tasks. The server has an issue and you refuse to even accept it.
