To many work units

This is a known bug for which a fix may have just been developed. No, the fix is not ready for release yet.

I was getting no units now I'm getting too many. Also, why can't I post in any other forum except the Questions and Answers section. It says I can't create a new thread when all I want to do is reply.

You have to use a image hosting provider and upload you picture there. Then you can link your image using the [img] tags here.

At any rate, if you haven't created a second account and all your work is going to this one, then Skildude is correct: the reason why you can't post is because you need a RAC greater than 1 before you can post in any other forum.

If you have a large cache and/or are using a CUDA-capable nVidia GPGPU, then that would likely explain the reason for such a large number of workunits being sent to your account.

If you un-hide your computers in your account, we could see how many workunits you have and what type of machines you have without the need to post screen shots.

I have 28 currently. I selected "won't get new tasks" till I get caught up. I've been using this for quite a while. And I will never have your RAC amount. Do you have more than one computer working or a Telsa? I have a used Tesla but it would never work correctly so its sitting in a drawer some place. : /

Computer is unhidden now. It shows 2 but I have no idea why. It's the same computer. I tried to combine but it says its not compatible.

Ok, you have a Core 2 Quad with an nVidia GeForce GT 220 (probably with 1GB of RAM), unless that's the card you couldn't get working right.

The nVidia GeForce GT 220 is CUDA-compatible so that means your computer is going to plow right through workunits. You should easily see a RAC of 2000+ assuming you aren't having any other problems.

That would explain the large number of downloaded workunits.

[Edit] Oh, and I have multiple computers on my account, but no nVidia cards. I'm not a big nVidia fan; I use primarily ATi video cards. I'm certain that your RAC will probably rival or easily beat mine.

I think it has 48 stream processors so I thought it would do 48 work units at one time.

Along with an older model Telsa with 192 cores it only ran 3 units. 2 using the processor and 1 using 1 cuda. : /

I changed the Bonic to a older version and now even though its only doing 1 unit at a time its doing it quickly.

Maybe my Telsa was working all along because I was expecting it to be working like a multiprocessor does. : / that was the only way it seemed to me that people were returning large amounts of RAC using a 1 computer.

More than likely they were overclocking both the CPU and their GPU as well as using some optimized applications. The number one way to increase your throughput on this project is to use the Lunatic's optimized apps.

The good news is you now have a RAC of 9 so you should be able to post in any other forum.

Yeah I seen the RAC of 9. It's going a lot faster now. 1hr 11 minutes per work unit. A lot faster than it does using the CPU. Wonder why a older version of Bonic was the solution. Looks like a newer version should work better.
