If the connection is stable you can go to the Setting->Expert tab and set the connection timeout to 2.
That said the OS may not always work as expected.

Most of the new work is on the JS version that is much easier to maintain.
There is no new release of BoincTasks in the pipeline, maybe some bug fixes.

Questions / Sticking, boinctasks js, and n...

Last post by hucker - December 06, 2025, 01:51:59 AM

I have grumbled in the past about using BOINC tasks to monitor 10 computers and every time one of those 10 computers is doing some scheduling the Boink client on that computer takes up an entire processor core for about 15 to 30 seconds which is extremely bad programming on the behalf of Poinke itself but the problem is when point tasks is waiting for that computer it won't allow me to interact with the interface whatsoever.

you have told me it may be better if I use the JavaScript version however I'm holding off on this because I've spotted you have version 2 of the non JavaScript programme in the works do you think this one might overcome the problem and when do you think it will be ready for beta test? I'm willing to try it as is if you want me to analyse it

I tried to replicate, feeding a large number, but it stays positive.
Looks like it's what the BOINC client reports.

What do you mean by this? I've mentioned BM shows correctly per my own htop and other users reports.

What is BoincTask showing and what is BM showing on the same task.

It's specifically O4MD tasks.

What is the number from the BOINC Manager and the negative number BoincTasks gives.

I have Einstein tasks with the same size and the numbers are all positive.

I checked the BOINC Source files and I don't see anything wrong.

Questions / Negative Memory Usage

Last post by mmonnin - November 30, 2025, 12:56:48 PM

The new E@H O4MD CPU tasks show up with negative memory usage. There is an actual negative sign. Something I have yet to see from BOINC Tasks. htop reports 2.6 to 2.7 GB used as does the BOINC MGR so its only BOINCTasks. I have sorted the tasks by memory usage in the image to show the data is actually negative. The other tasks are from other projects, all of the negative tasks are E@H.
