According to BOINCTUI my Samsung Android phone has a task that is in a state Wait that doesn't start:
Wait - World Community Grid 33h 99h 44h Mapping Cancer Markers - MCM1_0229522_2902_1 Both TUI and Manager are newly started, so the information comes from the phone. I also restarted the phone before starting TUI and Manager. The phone also runs a non CPU intensive task: WUProp@Home, but even if I suspend that the WCG MCM task doesn't start. I cannot get new tasks from other projects because: Not requesting tasks: don't need (job cache full) It seems that the WSG task that does never start blocks other tasks. Then I aborted that task an a new WCG task was downloaded, but that also waits ready to start forever: Application Mapping Cancer Markers 7.61 Name MCM1_0229838_9119 State Ready to start Received Sat 18 Jan 2025 11:36:18 PM CET Report deadline Fri 24 Jan 2025 11:36:18 PM CET Estimated computation size 29,166 GFLOPs Executable wcgrid_mcm1_map_7.61_arm-android-linux-gnu About my phone: Product name samsung GT-S6790N - SDK: 16 ABI: armeabi-v7a CPU type ARM ARMv7 Processor rev 9 (v7l) [Impl 0x41 Arch 7 Variant 0x2 Part 0xc09 Rev 9] Number of processors 1 Operating System Android 3.0.15-1379436 (Android 4.1.2) BOINC version 7.18.1 |

As I mentioned privately to mobluse, my guess is that some resource is low and it prevents the work unit from starting. I encountered this with Rosetta years ago.
I stumbled upon the option to control the types of messages in the Event Log. In the Advanced View, choose Options > Event Log Options... There are many options and I only have file_xfer, task, and sched_ops checked (enabled) on my system, which is likely the default. Would enabling something like cpu_sched_status show additional message types related to a low resource? Or is there another BOINC tool that might help? |
