I WAS rather confused by the

I WAS rather confused by the reported cpu type for that host.  Didn't recognize the labeling at all and had to google it.  Again surprised by seeing that it was only a two core cpu from ancient times.

At least it is still doing something useful but yes, is it rather underpowered compared to modern hardware.

Yep, she’s pretty old. Don’t

Yep, she’s pretty old. Don’t know what to do with her since Linux keeps her running pretty well. That’s why I figured may as well put to boinc use.

The one task I had processing is done but no new ones were issued by the server.

I suspect: Carmar writes

I suspect:
Carmar writes about BRP4 but he uses BRP4G (Arecibo,GBT,long) v1.33 () x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.(https://einsteinathome.org/de/host/12886555). Since days the server shows status: tasks to sent -0-.

Good catch.  I didn't notice

Good catch.  I didn't notice the task name type.  I just recognize BRP4 in general as that is what I run on my Jetson's with a custom app.  Same app for either the regular BRP4 and BRP4G.

And I have BRP4(G) work still running on my Jetsons so never recognized that the BRP4G tasks were missing.

You can always try other Projects until the BRP4G tasks come back, ie SiDock currently has plenty of their short tasks meant for Pi type devices

Thank you, Ingo, Keith,

Thank you, Ingo, Keith, Mikey.

 

Just now, I received 1 task for "Arecibo, GBT, long (BRP4X64)" which should be BRP4G.

https://einsteinathome.org/account/prefs/project lists: BRP4, BRP4G, BRP4A, BRP7.

I have all checked but I assume the only ones this machine is eligible for are BRP4 and BRP4G. Correct? If yes, is there a reason I only get BRP4G but not BRP4? I thought BRP4 is for whether you have a CPU or GPU, no?

BRP4 requires GPU. BRP4G only

BRP4 requires GPU.
BRP4G only requires CPU.

Here you can see the requirements for the projects:

Alternative would be: FGRP5.
