Host Average Work Plummeting

Topic 226559
(moderation:
Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing a drastic plummet of their AVG work completed. I was at over 460,000 daily and now less than 100,000. This issue started on Nov 8 after what I thought was a Windows update for 21H2 and .NET framework update bug (both of which I've uninstalled with no increase in Host Average).
I've ran Memtest86 just in case if it is a hardware on my end of which I have no memory errors. I think my hardware setup will display with my name so you can see what hardware I'm running.
I have 52 pages of pending results of which the bulk are Gamma-ray pulsar search #5 v1.08 (FGRPSSE) windows_intelx86 & Gravitational Wave search O3 All-Sky #1 v1.01 (GW-opencl-nvidia) windows_x86_64 tasks.
Is there something happening that I've missed? Are there actually that many other tasks people haven't finished that aren't completing my units? Is there a server issue?
Thanks for any information!
I'm not seeing any plunge in

I'm not seeing any plunge in credits. Been very consistent for the past week. In fact today was a bump up. I only run FGRPB1G.
There has been almost no credits awarded for GW work since the validator has been turned off.
Look at the pending count for O3AS1 on the server status page. Keeps climbing and nobody gets any credit.

Keith,
Greatly appreciate the info. I've never selected specific jobs to work on. I've always thought it was the scheduler that threw users tasks that needed to be worked. WARNING: Newbie question: Is there a way to only select certain tasks (ie FGRPB1G)? :)
Richie, Thank you. It

Richie,
Thank you. It looks like I'll have my computers keep crunching until they're done with "debugging/maintenance" the validator. :)

Go to Account, Preferences, Project to select what tasks you wish to run.
About half way down the page is Applications

Well I do believe the admins to put in a bias in the scheduler to boost the Gravity Wave search as that is the current primary focus of the project. The Gamma Ray Pulsar is a historical legacy search.
Project preferences and toggle the sub-projects you want to run in Applications will restrict the type of task you receive.
Thanks all for the info.

Thanks all for the info. Found the Applications. When I check back and the validator is back online, I'll select that project again as I feel I have too many "Pending" tasks (500+) to be validated.
Same thing here. RAC has been

Same thing here. RAC has been going down for ages and looks like i got 88 pages of WU's in pending state right now?
O3AS1a validator has been turned off for some reason. That might explain something.
Howdy Keith, I used to run

Howdy Keith,
I used to run a bunch of FGRPB1G. Then I started getting fed the O3AS work. I was wondering how
you are getting FGRPB1G work? Maybe I broke my app_config.xml file. When I start the boinc client
now I get this info message in 'notices' in the manager:
Einstein@Home: Notice from BOINC
Your app_config.xml file refers to an unknown application 'hsgamma_FGRPB1G'. Known applications: 'hsgamma_FGRP5', 'einstein_O3AS'.
It used to get FGRPBIG work with my current setup.
here is the that part of my file c & p-
<app>
<name>hsgamma_FGRPB1G</name>
<gpu_versions>
<gpu_usage>0.25</gpu_usage>
<cpu_usage>1</cpu_usage>
</gpu_versions>
</app>
Maybe I have the wrong project name. ?
TIA for any clues...
Merry Christmas to all!

Hi Mike, no your app_config

Hi Mike, no your app_config is correct for the hsgamma_FGRPB1G application. The error message is stating you are missing the application now.
For some reason it was deleted either by BOINC when you started the O3AS application and deselected it in your project preferences or some other event deleted the application.
I would check first for the application in the project directory. For Linux the name is:
hsgamma_FGRPB1G_1.28_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu__FGRPopencl2Pup-nvidia
Also check your venues for the application is selected. You need to get the project to resend the app to you and new work and then the app_config error message will go away.
