You can run a -1 base on SRBase, to be sure.

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean. Is this a specific application/ subproject in SRBase?

Thanks. Looks like my CPU was not affected. Both 10.0 and 10.1 versions completed fine.

I downloaded and tried running prst v10.0 and v10.1 from the Github releases however didn't see any output. The "unknown option -boinc" was printed immediately but it continued to run and I left it running overnight but there was nothing printed when I checked it in the morning.

You could try to run prst v10 too so we know it.

Is this as simple as downloading the executable from https://github.com/patnashev/prst/releases/tag/v10.0 and running the same command? I see there's a v10.1 as well.

Not sure if this host (Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU N2940 @ 1.83GHz [Family 6 Model 55 Stepping 8]) was affected but I've run the prst-11-test app and here are the results.

Can you pls check your client_state.xml file at the top and looking for timezone?

My client_state.xml has this:

The BOINC event log also records this:

For the task in the earlier screenshot, here are the values in client_state.xml:

A bit of a strange one here. I noticed that the deadlines in my tasks list here (online) do not match what is shown in BOINC. Consequently, tasks sometimes expire earlier than intended in my client (as BOINC kills unstarted tasks that are past the deadline).

Any ideas if this is something specific to my client? I'm running BOINC 7.16.20 (latest version at this time) on Windows 10.

Here's what the task details in the project website show. Note the date is 2022-03-31 15:00:47 UTC


This is what shows up in my BOINC client. Note the date is 31/03/2022 2:00:57 PM


However, I'm in Australia (AEST) and this conversion is incorrect. The correct date should've been 2022-04-01 02:00:57 AM as seen in this conversion (done in the browser console).


Other projects do not exhibit this issue. For instance, here's a task from Rosetta@home.

BOINC client:

I too am in the same situation where I cannot update the glibc version.

I have tried to assign no devices to TF cuda111 by setting ngpus to zero with this app_config.xml but I've not had any luck.
<app_config> <app_version> <app_name>TF</app_name> <version_num>12</version_num> <platform>x86_64-pc-linux-gnu</platform> <plan_class>cuda111</plan_class> <avg_ncpus>0</avg_ncpus> <ngpus>0</ngpus> </app_version> </app_config>


I've also tried this without any luck.
<app_config> <app_version> <app_name>TF</app_name> <plan_class>cuda111</plan_class> <avg_ncpus>99.000000</avg_ncpus> <ngpus>99.000000</ngpus> </app_version> <app_version> <app_name>TF</app_name> <plan_class>cuda100</plan_class> <avg_ncpus>1.000000</avg_ncpus> <ngpus>1.000000</ngpus> </app_version> <report_results_immediately/> </app_config>


Any suggestions on how work for TF cuda111 can be avoided?
