Hope someone can help. I am trying to get work for the BRP4 application at Einstein@home Not getting anything other than:
Nano

I don't have the Gamma-ray pulsar binary search #1 on GPUs project selected. I've been told that this is a flaw with Einstein and the message is sent to all and not to worry about. The problem is the no work is available for the application I've selected. The BRP4 application is selected at the website, saved for the Home location and the client has been updated multiple times as well as completely restarted.

This is my app_info.xml

There are currently 10K BRP4 tasks available in the RTS buffer for that application. GAURAV KHANNA, the developer of the app I am using is getting work for his aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu Tegra hosts and is processing the BRP4 tasks fine.

Can anyone point out why I can't get work? Thanks in advance.

Well I finally managed to get work. Turns out BOINC only allows one BETA application per project. I had the BETA cpu app running already for the RPi3+ for Home venue. Once I moved the Nano to School venue and turned off cpu work, I was finally able to get some gpu work for the beta application.

Still debugging the Nano platform. Errored out all of my daily allotment of tasks when libraries weren't found. Having to wait out the 24 hour penalty box before trying again.

I have this happen all too often and usually worst is 600+ errored tasks return to milkyway.


====wish list====
Was wondering if there was a boinc client option such as

"Allow new tasks for 10 seconds"

however, that might be a problem on projects such as milkway so..

"Allow 1 new task"

It seems to me that the 10 second time could easily be implemented but I do not know enough about the client to know if it can even ask for a single task or even if the project would honor a request for just 1.

"Allow 1 new task"

Perhaps better still "send test task" so people could verify their build. Once it gets the task it would have to set no new tasks so it wouldn't go into a loop.

Try doing a command line

boinc --help

to see what the start-up options are (I can't find them documented in the Wiki just now)

'--fetch_minimal_work' sounds like what you're looking for.
