We have found what prevented most of users to receive work despite having WUs in queue. Everybody should be receiving work now. There's plenty of WUS to crunch! | |

What's your "additional work buffer"? We had to temporarily change the scheduler algorithm. | |

Can you please cancel some of the non-running ones and see if you get one more? | |

For now we need everybody to get some WUs. We'll keep debugging this issue. Thanks for reporting. Please let us know if by any chance the situation fixes by itself. | |

I'm running 2 x 260s with the preference for only long WUs but now have 12 WUs (10 long 2 ACEMD2) | |

I have begun receiving WUs, but they are Long-Runs, and I have those disabled. I CAN NOT stand the time limits for long runs! I end up getting 14 hours into 16 and the limit is over, wasting my time and money. I don't run this 24/7 or even every day. | |

The server seems to ignore it for some reason. | |

Anoobis: probably you have the "allow non-preferred apps" on. Try disabling it. | |

Ton: does decreasing the work buffer help? The new scheduler setting may be pushing stuff in the work buffer more than the old one. | |

What brought this problem on in the first place? Have you been updating the BOINC server code? If so, http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/changeset/23360/ may be relevant. | |

Finally it happened! | |

Well, the situation seems to have swung the other way: there is no work at all for both the acemdlong and the acemd2 apps. | |

Well, the situation seems to have swung the other way: there is no work at all for both the acemdlong and the acemd2 apps. This is exactly why they had the low caches and short turnarounds... they have a limited number of WUs and need the current ones to make the next batch. Because it's all sitting in people queues, there is less work for us to do. Just let it ping the server for a few minutes and as soon as someone turns something in you should be able to grab one. Hope they fix this soon. In the mean time, lower your cache to .75 days to keep it about where it was before. With that you should have plenty of time to get the next WU before you complete the current one yet not stock up and make other people idle. If enough people do this we'll get back to normal operation until they fix this on the server side. | |

I've always set it to 0.02 days. That way, it only gets new WUs when the current one is about half an hour away from finishing. | |

The scheduler change we attempted sent out all the WUs. We'll try to fix today. | |

it is reverted to the old policy for now. | |

I have the "Accecpt 3rd party Apps" thing set, so that miiiight be the problem. I also have my work load set at 0.4. I still have what I believe to be the latest BOINC, unless a new one came out in the last couple months. I am getting no work at all except 3rd party apps, and even those are rare. I have been putting my GPU to work for Einstein@Home 100% for the time being, but it would be nice to have more (even 3rd party non long-run) from this project. | |

Hi Anoobis ... please open a post over in the "Number Crunching" forum so we can help you get your 470 producing the best it can. You could start by setting Einstein to NNT. GPUGrid should get a WUs before Einstein completely dries up. If not press the update button and keep trying as sometimes the scheduler has problems determining if you have a reliable PC or not. | |
