My GTX 260 has always gotten 2 WUs at a time. Yesterday I got 6 in total. Is this normal? Has been on GPUGrid since about the 8th.

It seams it is 4 task per gpu or 2 per cpu core...?!

WHY am I getting so many WUs? I set the prefs to 1 day and aborted 4 WUs. Sometime later it gets 4 more?

We have done a server update few days ago, but not changed any other setting.
Is anyone receiving more WUs?

gdf

i did recieve like 5 wu at once, but have only recieved 2 since but that of course, i hit no new task after the first 2 are sent.

i'll let it naturally try later. and report the results.

I received 6 workunits today, all with a severe underestimate of the usual time they take to complete, after a power failure apparantly lost all of the workunits already in the queue on my 64-bit computer. Are they actually shorter workunits, in which case this is reasonable, or did this computer also lose something needed for an accurate estimate of how fast the workunits will run?

i've got 4 wu's for my one card on a quad.

Thanks for replies!

I set resource share to 25 and "Maintain enough work for an additional" .5 days. Hit update and in messages it says I have reached max of 6 tasks.

I hate to keep aborting tasks so will wait and see if it downloads more when it finishes the current task.

Thanks

Nothing I do seems to make a difference. It is maintaining 5 in queue one working. I set it to no more tasks until this queue clears as I am now no longer getting bonus points.

6.6.36 on Vista 64, 190.38 drivers, GTX 260 216.

Of the six workunits I downloaded at once, all with an estimated time of a little over 2 hours, at least two reached a computation error after about 11 hours, and one was aborted by the project.The last two now have estimated total time back near normal, so I have enabled getting new workunits again.

My computer apparantly erased its copy of these workunits during a power failure, or possibly during my driver upgrade to 190.38.

1152000
1139877

I'll let you decide if it's better to send another copy of them, or reassign them to someone else.

Did it again. Had 2 Redundant results so was down to one on GPU, enabled Get new tasks and it got 5.

I've tried setting different settings and nothing makes a difference. I just got 6 more.

A person on our team with a GTX 260 has stated it is happening to him. I asked him to post it here,

Yes, as PG said, I am having this problem now too. I'm getting 6 tasks at a time, and am not consitent enough to abort WUs. I'm running Bionic 6.5.0 on Win7 64bit on a GTX 260 216 Driver 190.37. Any fix?

IDK about PG, but I did not. How would I do that?

@ETA yes

I wasn't sure how to do the resource share. I have cache down to one day which is as low as i'm willing to do since it's also running WCG and internet goes out regularly for up to 12-16 hours.

So at one day it still DLs 6.

It is looking like I'm getting something like this problem...The 295 is running at around 1 WU every 7.5 hours per side but grid is down loading 8 at a time so the last 2 will fail the 24 hour since download timelimit and from that point on so will the rest this is however day1 so maybe things will automatically adjust??

Ihave no preferences set for grid on this rig this is just what I have been given automatically....boinc messagas gives max 8 wu/day

Addendum: I've moved my 1 day of work cached to 0.8days in boinc manager to see if this has an impact...Will report tomorrow

Ok, thanks for that.......there was no change at 0.8 but I've just received credit for a Wu that took >24hours from download to completion and it seems to have not effected the points bonus ? (not complaining :))

further observations will be reported

Now I'm a little embarrased....where did I get that 24hrs limit from???

Made me go searching.....

from the FAQ

So now, we apply a multiplier of 2.0x for all workunits, but give and additional 25% for WUs returned within two days. This is useful for us to reduce latency of the results while keeping us in line with a correct value for credits as in SETI.

I put my GTX 260 216 back on GPUgrid after having it on F@H for more than a week and when I come back I again get 6 WUs. I have the Resource Share at 80% WCG and 20% GPUGrid. I have changed my Addition Work BUffer to different numbers and still get 6 WUs.

Is there no solution to this?

I was able to decrease the number of workunits in the queue on my machine by decreasing

(estimated time between internet connections + amount to leave in the queue)/average time each workunit takes

to less than 1.

Now only one workunit fetched at a time, but just one or no workunits not started yet normally in the queue.

I have a Quad with 2x 8800GT and 1x 9500GT. When starting GPUGrid after a fresh install of Windows, I get 10 WU's immediately. I had BOINC set to get 0.25 days of work (to try to limit that). However, it appears that after the initial 10, if I set it to a higher number (like 1 day of work), it will keep it around 6 WU's at a time.

Hi all, I use this thread ...

This WU was calculated within 48 hours (from 9 Sep 2009 12:48:58 UTC to 10 Sep 2009 14:32:46 UTC) and received no bonus 25%!
What went wrong?

Have a nice weekend :-)

I have resorted to using the "Allow New tasks" "Do Not allow new tasks" or whatever button. When I get down to one I allow and get 5 more. Loosing bonus points on 2 of 6 WUs. It is the science getting done that is important but our team is coming up thru the ranks fast and I hate to not get the points for the team.

Since Windows update a few days ago I am now back to getting 2 WUs at a time as before. :-)

My 9800 GT has gotten only one at a time since I set the queue size to less than the time needed to complete the average workunit.

I was down to 2 WUs at a time on my 260, but now I'm getting 10 at a time again, and so am not getting the turn around required for the bonus. Is there anything I can do to make it get fewer WUs?
