Why do I get the idea that everything is being run -via virtual machines- on the same physical server?

Referring to the news item I would like to start a discussion on the credits points requirements for certain badge.
The topic on the forum announcing badge: https://root.ithena.net/usr/forum_thread.php?id=83
Preliminary proposal concerning the category "total credit" for individual applications:

======================================
======================================
iThena CNode Badge:

Badge		TotalC	2Power
==============================
Bronze		8192	13
Silver		16384	14
Gold		32768	15
Amethyst	65536	16
Ruby		131072	17
Turquoise	262144	18
Jade		524288	19
Sapphire	1048576	20
Emerald		2097152	21
Diamond		4194304	22


======================================
======================================
iThena PERF Badge:

Badge		TotalC		2Power
======================================
Bronze		32768		15
Silver		65536		16
Gold		131072		17
Amethyst	262144		18
Ruby		524288		19
Turquoise	1048576		20
Jade		2097152		21
Sapphire	4194304		22
Emerald		8388608		23
Diamond		16777216	24


The credits thresholds may seem quite high.
However, this is only my suggestion.
These applications will also have long support.
PS. At the moment I have small problems with storage, but the PERF application will also be normally available.

How come I still only have a silver PERF badge?

If I may Dirk, I am currently in the process of moving some of my PIs to ARM64, do you have any input on how running arm32 and arm64 WU on the same host has been so far, any gotchas ? I'm thinking about running Universe@Home (arm32), WCG and LHC@Home on some of them.


The gotchas:
After adding to the cc_config.xml these lines:
<options>
   <alt_platform>arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf</alt_platform>
   <alt_platform>armv7l-unknown-linux-gnueabihf</alt_platform>
</options>

and
sudo dpkg --add-architecture armhf
sudo apt update --fix-missing
sudo apt dist-upgrade
sudo apt install libc6:armhf libstdc++6:armhf zlib1g:armhf libfuse2:armhf

to be sure 32-bit libs are there when needed and, voilá: Boinc starts getting work for 32-bit apps.

Optional
Because I was unhappy with the memory assigned to the GPU in the case of a Jetson Nano (a mere 99MB) when using the default 5GB swapdisk I installed and configured ZRAM via
sudo apt install zram-config

and rebooted

There is more to it than sending some *.jpg files to https://signature.statseb.fr/.
The export stats need to have a file badge_user.gz that mention the badge(s) for your user id
A project like LHC@HOme is sending empty stats files for years now and they blame the Berkely code.

I have, i'm sure like many others, WUs that are past their reporting due date. I'd sure hate to lose that 12 minutes of crunching time :)


More like 12 hours. Some WUs take 48 minutes, and I've thrown away all that was over date, dozens of WUs. Resetting the project did not help, I did get new WUs, but I still can't upload.

FWIW


Just a hunch:
You gave as Country France (or a French-speaking country), with language French, and choose for a French keyboard.
I gave as country the Netherlands, with language English and choose keyboard US -I hate keyboard NL layout, don't have them.

Funny observation:
On my 64-bit OS equipped ARM SBC's the only WU's that are failing appeared to be 32-bit WUs that landed there because i had added <alt_platform> lines to the cc_config.xml in order to run WCG.
I have added the line Environment=LC_ALL=C to /lib/systemd/system/boinc-client.service there now too.

top user - Dingo - has 2,5M so you need two more badges

PERF top user PDW - 19M - 1 more


PDW has just passed the lower limit of the -now- last badge, and needs a new one at 33,554,432 credits.

Today in the morning (around 7:00 ETC) an error occurred on one of the servers. The problem has already been fixed. You can reboot tasks if they take too long or there are errors. The new tasks should work well. Can you confirm? :)

Not fixed for me! 72 WUs today on 2 machines, all failed, including in the last half hour. Something still isn't right.
