Despite me leaving my machine on 24/7 I very rarely seem to get work units. Is the demand for units really that high or am I missing some trick? Is my machine low down the pecking order perhaps?

I've also not been able to download more than one unit for a very long time now. I assume the two are related.

Hi, I'm seeing the same. Have you figured out why is this happening?

Do not install BOINC manager in "protected mode" aka system service (if you do, it won't see the GPU in your system).
Set a low work cache (less than 5 days total, preferably less than 2 days total).

looks like the OP resolved his issues some time ago. when he first posted, his host wasn't reporting any GPU installed, which is likely why he wasn't getting any tasks.

he fixed his driver or hardware config, and now has his GPU recognized and is getting tasks.

Looking at Ben's hosts I see that his windows host is operating normally so I figure I gave useless advice on client configuration. His Linux host has only one task, run on Dec 22nd, so that appears to be the troublesome host. Looks like identical hardware to the W10 host.
Linux host issues are beyond my knowledge for now.

By the end of the week it will be difficult for all of us (that don't run scripts) to catch any tasks as we are currently crunching model run 48 of 50. Now is a less than ideal time to be troubleshooting task deliveries.

I see I forgot to check the original posting date. I'm appropriately embarrassed 😳

Hi, I'm not receiving any tasks either. Are there no tasks to send out?

In the work column, I'm seeing only 25 tasks in progress and everything else is 0.

That’s right. 25 (now 23) tasks that’s are out in the field with other computers waiting to be returned, and none to send to anyone else asking for more work.

You need to wait for the project admins to add more work, or get lucky and get a resend of one of those 23 tasks if one of them has a computation error or times out with the host that has it now.

I see, thanks for clearing it up for me!
