I have a strange problem. All tasks sent by Gerasim@home run even though the device’s CPU tasks are fully occupied, but they use 0% CPU and only 2.3 MB of RAM. After a while, the computation is reported as if it has finished, and credit is granted. The Gerasim@home website also seems to be inactive — there are no message boards, and the “user of the day” is always the same person. I think this is just a fake, placeholder project that exists only to distribute credit.

It's a real project that crashed and burnt 5 months ago, using Numberfields@home data.
For several months now, people have been helping to bring it back to life, although that appears to have petered out since early December.

This project has some issues right now, and is not fully functionable.
Also, the issue you are talking about just looks like a misconfiguration.
Just out of the curiosity: what version of BOINC do you run?
I do remember we had similar issue that we have fixed a while ago.

Latest : 8.2.8 - Windows
After completing all tasks, I reset the project, and the server no longer sends new tasks.

OK. Thank you for the information.
As I said before, project is not stable at the moment, so such issues can happen from time to time.
I don't know when it will be fixed, so just follow the news on this forum.
