The spacious project : https://spacious.ub.edu/

The project spaciousathome is only a small part of projekt spacious. The consortium invited us to join the project to enable collaboration among non-scientists. Funding for the spaciousathome and gaiaathome projects only covers the construction and launch of the service. Spaciousathome is currently being built and tested. Spaciousathome and gaiaathome are operated by volunteers, just like yours. Therefore, we cannot expect excellent and immediate service.

The spaciousathome and gaiaathome services are twins because that was the consortium's requirement (Gaia mission data is a subset of the data processed by the spacious project)

Let's hope that there will still be people willing to maintain the project, despite the allegations made against them. Preparing programs and requests for calculations is time-consuming, and I have consciously limited their use on the discussion forum.

We will try to keep gaiaathome and spaciousathome running for as long as possible, but this also depends on the interest in the service from other scientists who are willing to use its resources.

Therefore, services may experience periods of downtime, but this doesn't mean the project is complete.

The BOINC point-accident is a surprise. We don't know the reasons for this platform behavior, and we had to learn how to fix it. Unfortunately, we're concerned that this may happen again because we don't know the source of the error in the system.

I was also only looking at valid tasks.

For myself all my tasks are still listed, none have been purged from my hosts.

For your host 6

State: All (192) · In progress (0) · Validation pending (0) · Validation inconclusive (0) · Valid (0) · Invalid (0) · Error (192)

No credit

Adding up all valid task * 200 = your total. Prove otherwise.

I think Conan was referring to WUs been errored out during the initial run but somehow credit was granted on host #6: https://spaciousathome.eu/spaciousathome/results.php?hostid=6&offset=100&show_names=0&state=0&appid=. Theoretically credit shouldn't appear as granted or claimed on the project server for these errored out tasks. Subsequent errored out tasks did not get credit, probably a bug during the initial phase.

@Conan, on your host #6 (7945H), you might want to rerun the cpu benchmark with 100% cpu load since your error is related to : "exceeded elapsed time limit 9267.65 (86400.00G/9.32G)" where the measured floating point speed 9.32 billion ops/sec appears too high. You might want to either reduce the cpu clock speed during cpu benchmarking or run with 50% load instead of 100%. See if that resolves.

Host 4 has 30 valid results. 30x200 6k which is what I can see.
Host 6 has no valid work.

Total of hosts add up to 34,800 which is what I currently see.

I have many dozens of work units that have been granted credit but that credit has not been added to my Host Total or my Overall Total
The awarded credit is distinct from current batch and relates to first batch of work, I believe.

Can this be checked please

Thank you

Conan

In reply to Conan's message of 22 Oct 2025:

Still getting errors, running to 100% stay there then fail.

Some work units have been given credits, even failed ones, but this has not been transferred to the Host Total which still says Zero

Also that credit has not been transferred to the overall total which means that I still can't create a Team as it says I have no credit.

Thanks for your efforts

Conan

Should say which errors as they don't match above. You're getting 197 (0x000000C5) EXIT_TIME_LIMIT_EXCEEDED at 9,271 seconds. Probably because the project thinks the task should complete in time with those really high benchmarks. Your 7945 is 3x mine although mine is not 3D yours is as high as my 9950X. My 5950Xs complete OK in over 3 hr.
