Science United has recently decided to start throwing nanHUB_at_home work units at my computer. Unfortunately not a single one of these is processing. All have an estimated time of 3min 47sec, and are timing out after 1h 33min of crunching time. Each work unit has log files similar to the following:

In-use computing is only able to process about 4 WUs at a time with the rest showing Waiting for Memory as per my preferences.

4) Message boards : Problems : High number of failed results on one project (Message 516)

I was just looking at my Science United stats. SU of course assigns me to various projects as needed. One of the projects, Asteroids@Home has a higher # of failed results, much more than any of the other projects and noticeable percentage.

I know in the past there have been times when I've noticed an Asteroids@Home workunit completing much faster than expected, however the few times I've noticed and looked through the log, there was no information to indicate that this was a failure.

Windows 10 pcs, AMD cpu and Nvidia GPU.

from what I can tell, with the move from http to https, the downloads are now being affected. Anyone with tasks assigned may not be able to upload/download data to the server.

In ADVANCED VIEW, you can turn the GPU Processing off completely. Under the ACTIVITY menu, changed USE GPU ACCORDING TO PREFERENCES to SUSPEND GPU

Same problem. It's only Citizen Science Grid.
