Don't get on me as I am as starved for WUs as anyone else around here. However, I noticed prior to the 11th that I got vastly differing numbers of WUs on identical machines using the same preferences. I expect that should not be happening. Anyone care to speculate why it might and how one could prevent it? Relayer "I will remember you Your silhouette will charge the view Of distance atmosphere" |

Active_frac shows how much you're letting BOINC crunch, on new install this is always 1, but if one of the boxes only run 1 hour/day your active_frac will be 0.1 to not totally disallow downloading of work. For a week or something, the wu had roughly 6x expected time but crunched normally, and some of these is still in the system so... The scheduling-server can at most give out 20 "results"/asking, and 50 "results"/day. They're not managing to generate enough work, therefore you'll often not get more than a couple of wu, but sometimes a large bunch. AFAIK you'll not ask for more work if you've got above the min cache-setting, even it didn't manage filling your cache. |
