I run Boinc 6.10.56 . I have a Q6600 QuadCore My host average is about 1800 My preferences are to connect each 10 days and keep extra work for 10 days. Also to run always and to use 100% of processors and 100 of CPU time. I run Boinc since 2001 and do not have make update the latests months. I run one WU in about 6 hour/CPU, so 4 WU/6hours BUT !!! I only have 40 WU waiting to run (about 60 hours so less than 3 days). The deadline is 14 august for all WU. No any are running in high priority. But when I request WU I receive the following message : "This computer has reached a limit on task in progress" !!! Can someone explain ? |

The project is giving out 20 tasks maximum to each host for the time being to give everyone a chance to get some work. The admins are even requesting that people reduce their cache in anticipation of removing this limit on Monday, before the next outage on Tuesday. For more information, see Jobs Limit Thread and any thread in the Number Crunching forum. (If you fancy some fighting). |

I thank you for your response, but 20 tasks is very few !!! In my case, only work for about 30 hours Because the outage is at least 3 days / week, then there are a lot of computer who will nothing do ! Very soon, they will not more be able to calculate all the data they collect in Arecibo !!! Is it the goal of Seti ??? |

From the first thread I pointed at, posted by Jeff Cobb, Seti admin: The idea behind the jobs per host limit (currently set at 20) is to allow If you want more work, attach to other projects. None of my systems has been out of work during any of Seti's outages. |
