I'm seeing the above message but there is plenty of tasks? |

Your BOINC client should get one soon when updating. My client issued the same message at 5:58, but got one ATLAS task at 6am. We still have scope for improvement on the scheduler setup with respect to highly variable task quantities and duration for the different applications. Currently we rely on fairly standard BOINC server parameters and distribution of tasks between applications. |

The deadline of the Atlas-Tasks show in boinc and in the LHC-Website of LHC a difference of ONE DAY in the momemt. Only for the Tasks in progress and not finished. The Time is ok. |

Scheduler and daemons restarted. We have reduced the RPC delay, let's see if this has a positive effect, or leads to an overload of the scheduler. |

I'm still getting Atlas tasks very irregular. Boinc often says "no Atlas tasks available". Therefore my machine runs out of work very often and just sits ideling :-( Why mine when you can research? - GRIDCOIN - Real cryptocurrency without wasting hashes! https://gridcoin.us |

The deadline of the Atlas-Tasks show in boinc and in the LHC-Website of LHC a difference of ONE DAY in the momemt. Now the deadline is one week shorter, but also is ONE DAY difference. |

I wanted to switch one of my computers to just run ATLAS, so I created a preference with just ATLAS. I am still seeing No tasks Any sugestions on how to make it work? I would have though it's no reliant on the scheduling if I force just ATLAS tasks? |

Toby, can you provide more information about the machine ? Which of your computers is it ? What are messages in the Event-Log regarding Atlas ? Are you using any kind of ...config.xml ? Supporting BOINC, a great concept ! |

Hi Yeti, thanks. I tried on the Boron computer a while ago and the Desktop one more reciently. I created a preference School to split out that computer from the rest using settings, Use CPU, run test, Only Atlas apps, accept work from other if none, no limt on jobs and max CPU, 3. my app_config is:
The most common lines in the logs are:
Maybe with the work buffer of 0.5 day then it's 1 out 1 in for ATLAS, vs the other project will buffer work, which is sort of strange as typically ATLAS task are shorter than Theory for example. e.g. on another machine with all sub projects I see buffer of 18 Theory, 7 LHCb, 2 CMS and 2 ATLAS. I don't have any error for ATLAS, I just wanted to get my RAC for ATLAS up a bit higher. |

Toby, first please work through my checklist V3 Number 4 and 5 If this doesn't help, try my app_config.xml:
<app_config>
<project_max_concurrent>8</project_max_concurrent>
<app>
<name>ATLAS</name>
<fraction_done_exact/>
<max_concurrent>2</max_concurrent>
</app>
<app>
<name>Theory</name>
<max_concurrent>2</max_concurrent>
</app>
<app_version>
<app_name>ATLAS</app_name>
<version_num>100</version_num>
<platform>windows_x86_64</platform>
<avg_ncpus>4.000000</avg_ncpus>
<max_ncpus>4.000000</max_ncpus>
<plan_class>vbox64_mt_mcore_atlas</plan_class>
<api_version>7.7.0</api_version>
<cmdline>--memory_size_mb 7500</cmdline>
<dont_throttle/>
<is_wrapper/>
<needs_network/>
</app_version>
</app_config>
For now, I have to go to bed, I will come back tomorrow to see, if it helped Supporting BOINC, a great concept ! |

I think I worked it out, for the other subprojects no limit = no limit, where as for Atlas no limt = 1. I set it to 24 an it just grabbed 24 tasks straight away. There is a complex inter play of web and app config settings 🙄 |

I'll toggle the test flag and see what happens, I assume it won't make any difference? Yeh didn't effect the outcome. Req for ATLAS team to understand no limits correctly |

yes I have the same problem, the server has a lot of atlas tasks but I get none... so bad |
