Thanks rebirther, yes it is an iGPU in a laptop.
The laptop is running Gerasim and PRIVATE GFN GPU work units without an issue.
I thought it would work here though.
I am willing to try and get it working if it is not too much trouble for you.
Thanks
Conan
iGPU is not working correctly with the app, it is used by your laptop itself so it cant be shared.
Thanks rebirther, I will continue with CPU. and have another go at getting a 4060 working in another desktop I have.
Thanks

Can you run mfakto.exe -st ?
Whilst this test seemed to have run fine, I am still unable to run work units.
The Stderr output suggests that it can't work out what mt GPU is and suggests that I add it to the "mfakto.ini file.
I tried this a few times and even though I can change the file it reverts back minus the changes when I restart Boinc.
So it might have something to do with the mfakto.ini file being part of a zip type folder and so wont change because of that.
Suspended project at the moment to stop trashing work units.

Running now, been going awhile
Conan
Edit:: Still running after 1/2 hour
Edit2:: Finished running a few minutes ago, but I was outside and did not see the finish.
Edit3:: Is there a file that has data about the test?

I know this seems dumb of me, but I have not been doing much with Windows for a log time and as this is Windows 11 I have no idea where to type the Run command.
It is all over the place compared to Windows XP and 7.
So I can run it once I work out how. I will google it and then let you know.

We have finished all 2024 goals but this year it's harder.
2025 project goals
Out of all those goals what are the specific or main goals of SRBase in relation to that list.
Conan
I have added a link too. Mostly above 100k.
Thanks rebirther, I can see you have reserved some ranges already, lets see how we go this year.

Things are going bad...
Dear friends and users of BOINCstats,
Unfortunately, the latest scans and tests revealed that I will not win the battle against my cancer. I have several choices, all of which are bad. If I choose to undergo surgery or treatment again, I might gain a few months, but I will also experience more pain during that time. Therefore, I have decided not to pursue further treatment.
My doctors cannot provide a prognosis for how much time I have left. However, there are two possible ways my illness could progress. In the best-case scenario, there will be no metastases; the tumor will continue to grow and will cause me increasing pain. If I endure long enough, I will very likely develop a spinal cord injury causing paralysis. If metastases do occur, everything will progress very rapidly. Regardless of how the disease progresses, I will pass away within too short a time.
I will now look for one or more individuals to continue BOINCstats for me.
Yes very bad.
Our thoughts go out to Willy and hope for a miracle that he will heal and beat this cancer.
Why do the good ones keep getting shit thrown at them, life is not fair.

It seems I can do this if and when I even find a decent Prime. As I have not done so yet I will wait till I find one then do the set up to submit it.

I have a 4 core Phenom that is showing similar behavior.
I have aborted 6 work units so far that have got as high as 99.993% but are sitting there spinning there wheels doing nothing at all.
Zero CPU is being used but all 4 cores are held up.
The longest one I caught was over 10 hours.
They are fighting with a high priority project at the moment, so are using 3 cores not 4 but still if I don't come by and check then the WU could be stuck for a very long time.
And often on any of the WU that I get it can show multi-threading has worked or it has not, seems a bit random. The run time and CPU times are often the same.

Have just aborted a Riesel Base - Short work unit that has a RUN Time of over 21 Hours with a CPU time of just 20 Seconds.
I did suspend and restart the WU but this made no difference.
The longest Short I have had.
This WU

Thanks PDW,
Adjusted that line, so we will see what happens.

I have downloaded and am now running a Long2 work unit. After 8 hours it shows over 14% done, which is a lot quicker than before.
@ PDW,
I am showing all 4 threads on a 4 core computer being recorded at WUProp, 8 hours done and showing 31.6 hours, which seem right to me.
I do have an extra line in my app_config.xml file that may be what is different to what you have.
I have
<cmdline>-t4</cmdline>
<avg_ncpus>4</avg_ncpus>
Not sure if this might be how I am getting all threads picked up or not.
Anyway all seems to be working again,
Thanks

I got lucky with that long running task of mine, it ran for over 972,000 seconds (270 hours or 11.25 Days), and I managed to get it back first, so got the points.
That is what single thread does, here's to MultiThreading doing it a lot quicker.
Have to wait now for BOINC to grab new tasks, could be a few days on that machine, it will have to let other work run first.

Yes, well, after doing the app_config.xml, I now get nothing but errors.
I will check to see if it is in the wording >-t4< or as I have it >-t 4<, like I have at Primegrid.

Interesting, I didn't know about the multi-threading on SRBase, I knew about it on Primegrid and have implemented it there.
I have an SRBase Long2 running now for over 10 Days, 4 days past deadline, saying it is at 98.692% and 3.15 hours to go.
Those 3.15 hours will take 1 to 2 days at least to run (they are not very accurate estimates).
The computer is in HT mode (an Intel Xeon) and I wont be changing that.
I will however use that link and get my app_config.xml file created and installed on each computer running this project, in the next few days.
That link is dated to last year, how observant am I?
Thanks for the link and the information.

When you try to attach a new host to this project, your fisrt step is to see if the project is in the listing contained within BOINC manager.
When you select SRBase is shows the url to connect with is the old one without the hyphen (http://srbase.myfirewall.org/sr5/) instead of the new one with the hyphen.

I am running AMD Phenom's which are not a very fast computer compared to the current crop of Intel's, but I still can get from 89 cr/h + on the long work units.
The difference might be that I have gotten used to their speed where as others would think they are way too slow.
They still get the job done however.
