In reply to Michael E.'s message of 7 May 2026: If the BOINC agent can detect it, it would be helpful eventually to see something appear once in the Notice tab indicating that the "LHC@home task nnnnnn may take longer than others to complete". The notice tab is full of spam so nobody reads it. |

In reply to Garrulus glandarius's message of 7 May 2026: There have been some software improvements and a fresh batch is just about to be finished (well, except for all the tasks that are already sent out to slow PCs). More work is expected so I recommend reading the latest discussions and checking in from time to time.I have 10 computers connected and they never get work, so the batches must get taken fast. |

In reply to Mr P Hucker's message of 7 May 2026: In reply to Garrulus glandarius's message of 7 May 2026: Work is intermittent at CPDN, at least 3-4 batches a year though. Windows only batches tend to come about once a year, and tend to get snapped up faster. The others are Linux only. Recent batches have been more demanding (multicore & high RAM). |

The notice tab is full of spam so nobody reads it. I disagree. Communicating that a task needs to checked would help set expectations. A message in the Event log would also work. |

A message in the Event log would also work.It depends what project s you use I guess. Some of them announce every single goal they've achieved. I've taken to ignoring the notices altogether, I haven't read one for 3 years. It's like emails from Ebay, I ignore every one because 99.9% of them are "you bought something, you paid for it, it's been shipped, it's getting there, it's nearly there, it's arrived, sendd feedback, please send feedback, last chance to send feedback. I get so many phonecalls I don't answer a single one directly, the AI on my phone only rings the phone if the person can convince it I want to speak to them. |

Yeah thats the problem, some projects do too much automated communication in the notice tab ^^ and you dont need to compute them, its enough you have it attached on your main administration BOINC Managers because as a good stable CPID strategy. Its kinda annouing but i try to life with it cos i visit the projects forums nearly daily xD ---------- 24/7 Crunching since 2011 ----------- DSKAG Austria: http://www.dskag.at
