We have a planned network outage in the CAMK building scheduled for Saturday, March 23rd, 2024.
The outgage start on 7pm CET and finish on Monday, 25th, 8am.

Someone from TAAT (I believe) said that Universe won't have any tasks available until MAY! ???? Is that correct?

I have now made it into position #24 in Total for all computers, #18 for Average Credit, both in BOINC Stats Whoopie!!

2.5B cumulative milestone today.

Congratulations Keith!!

I'm still doing all I can to get up to 1 Billion... still haven't made it to 600 Million.

Does anybody else have this problem?

"Have tasks other than BHspin v2 been retired?"

This would be a question best left to Krzysztof 'krzyszp' Piszczek, the founder & manager of this particular Universe.

db_purge is set to 7 days here.

Thanks for the confirmation.

Thank you for responding to my inquiry. I do know the same applies to E@H also, but they definitely run off a different standard for BOINC.
.....[EDIT].....
I just noticed on the Server Status page (Universe) that there is a "db_purge" line listed as "running". Would that be meant for purging the database? Was that line there before?

I personally have over 12,000 completed tasks with credit, and the numbers keep climbing.
Do they ever roll over the completed tasks? Or will it continue to rise?

I too have passed 500K RAC on U@H, though it does take longer than E@H. But... I only have 2 desktops and 1 ancient laptop.
Hopefully, you'll get as many people responding to this thread as in E@H.
10) Message boards : Number crunching : aborted tasks (Message 5283)
Posted 3 May 2022 by Profile GWGeorge007
Post:
I do not see any tasks that did not make deadline. The deadline is two weeks. Your host only has a handful of tasks so you are not overcommitting the host and you return work sent in a day well within the deadline.

Your host is not slow at all even though it may be ten years old.

Continue on as you were. I see nothing wrong.

I am preparing for "the test" of SSDs, otherwise known as the Pentathlon? I also upgraded my offline storage, increasing by 1 day in preparation for the delays, if any.
We'll see if it helps or hurts. I'll be sure to have some Advil ready just in case. ;^)

At he end of 2019 something very strange happened with Universe@Home. What was it? We had gone from over 33k users to just 422 in less than a month.

Post:
It looks like the fastest I can run Universe BHspin2 tasks is ~47 min. Some go as high as ~53 min, but it is still better than what I had before. So I'll go back to 2 CPUs and 1 GPU per GPU task for Einstein.

Almost 1 day and 16 hours later I'm still running about the same.
Time to switch up to 3 CPU core and 1 GPU core per GPU task.

Thanks Jim,
I just changed mine to 2-CPUs & 1-GPU per GPU task, leaving the CPU tasks alone. We'll see what happens in a few hours.
BTW, I'm running GRP and not GW in my GPUs.

Okay, as of right now I'm running anywhere between ~38 min to ~52 min for the BH2 CPU tasks. That's a far cry better than ~60 min per task.

I have a 3950X & x2 RTX-2070 Super with Universe (only) in CPU mode & Einstein (only) in GPU mode. My Universe tasks are taking ~60 min per task.
Anyone have anything faster?

...[EDIT]...

I forgot to mention that I am running Linux Ubuntu v20.04.2.
