1) Questions and Answers : Windows : Work units completed, but no trickles or points awarded. (Message 57125) Posted 16 Oct 2017 by nsandersen Post: Sure. After a month or so I just wasn't sure whether the project maintainers knew or it was specific to my machine etc. or - most importantly - whether the results were actually going anywhere. Scores went up ~7% over the weekend, so I think scripts are kicking again. Thank you.

3) Questions and Answers : Windows : Work units completed, but no trickles or points awarded. (Message 57032) Posted 4 Oct 2017 by nsandersen Post: Not high priority (..unless the problem indicates completed work is sent to the Windows equivalent of /dev/null). My machine has completed several climate prediction workloads (a few weeks of CPU core time) over the last month, however no increase in points has been registered. Updating the project appeared to communicate with the project, but had no effect on this. Same for synchronizing with BOINCstatsBAM! How should I troubleshoot when I get a chance? Thank you. ----- BOINC Manager 7.8.2 (x64) Windows 10
4) Questions and Answers : Windows : Seemingly cp.net progress not saved resulting in BOINC thinking it is overcommitted (Message 20659) Posted 23 Feb 2006 by nsandersen Post: And now it is back, unfortunately, with BOINC 5.2.13 and hadsm3 4.13..
5) Questions and Answers : Windows : Seemingly cp.net progress not saved resulting in BOINC thinking it is overcommitted (Message 19774) Posted 30 Jan 2006 by nsandersen Post: That fixes it, thank you. I didn\'t expect it to be BOINC related, as it only seemed to be CP.net that didn\'t recall it\'s progress upon startup.
6) Questions and Answers : Windows : Seemingly cp.net progress not saved resulting in BOINC thinking it is overcommitted (Message 19604) Posted 24 Jan 2006 by nsandersen Post: I like the BOINC idea although some of its quirks have given me problems earlier. Therefore I try to keep an eye on it now and then and report any oddities. For a while the scheduling has behaved in what seems like an odd manner to me and I think it is due to the expected remaining time and/or the progress % for climatepredicition.net not being saved when the computer shuts down. This results in large fluctuations in the queue length in the following manner: 1) I turn on the computer in the morning and cp.net is at 0%, 750h expected before completion. BOINC decides the computer is overcommitted (this happens even if it has a week to finish only 4-5 hours of computation work in the form of smaller WUs in addition to the cp.net WU it is running, which has 8 months remaining to finish and is in no danger of not doing so). 2) BOINC finishes small WUs on an earliest-deadline-first basis until only the cp.net WU remains. 3) It then resumes the cp.net WU, which retrieves its position (currently about 70%), suddenly subtracting about 400h of CPU time from the queue. This results in it resuming round robin mode and downloading more small workunits to be ready to switch and continuing in this mode until I switch off the computer. 4) GOTO 1) In other words, BOINC spends about half it\'s time or more in earliest-deadline-first mode, which is probably not quite fair to your project. Seemingly because the progress/estimated remaining time isn\'t retrieved upon startup, only when the cp.net WU is actually resumed. I run BOINC 5.5.2 and hadsm3 v4.13 under Windows 2000.
