Since I downloaded two Astropulse work units; the computer #5727238 has not downloaded any more work since. The message state that there is no work available.
HA Ha. I know that is bunch of #$&^*(().
Uninstall and reinstall Boinc with Lunatics. Everything is still the same. Dont have any problems with the other four computers.
Still will not download any work units.
Any ideas.
Cant have any thing to do with preferences because that was not changed at any time.

I have the same problem with this machine. After the last lack of WU's it got a couple AP units and nothing after that. Now is all work it had done but boinc says "project has no work available". The machine asks for MB CPU work and AP GPU work.

---

The machines are not sending out work at the moment. If you check the server status page you will notice it has not updated in over 12 hours.

Exactly what this is doing. Requesting mb cpu and ap. Cant remember what computer did that before but did the same and got a bunch of work after the reinstall. Didn't work this time around?????

I would guess since Matt posted 2 days ago "we're always going to hit period where workunits are scarce, and that's okay". That would sort of indicate that we shouldn't expect to get to much work for a bit.

The few tasks that my machines have been issued over the past few days seem to be reissues from report times expiring or inconclusive results needing another confirmation.

The only fly in the ointment is that the server status page has not been updating. That indicates to me a problem other than just having no datasets loaded to split right now.
If server status were updating, we might know.

If those cleaning people would just stop plugging in their vacuum!

Looking over the logs on my home boxes the last time I see any bulk work getting downloading was 3/18/2011 8:34:20 PM(3/19/2011 12:34:20 AM UTC) where that machine got 43 new tasks. About 5 minutes later it requested work again and all the messages since have been "Project has no tasks available". With only 1-2 tasks at a time every few hours since.

Same here:
Still no new work units today, as of about 7:30pm PDT.
Caught a few yesterday, including one Astropulse, 3 or 4 CUDA and 3 or 4 regular, but nothing since then. Computer keeps asking for GPU and CPU work but server reports none available.

Well after all, it is a weekend. So if the systems are ill, perhaps it will be Monday before they are back to normal.

Thank goodness for a cache. I should have work for about a week or so I guess. Hopefully it will last past the outage, and I think it will. Guess we will see.

Yes having a cache setting that will get you through at least a 3-4 day outage works extremely well.

Cheers.

Until day 5 when you get 3-4days of backup project work.

I only crunch Seti@Home. I've dabbled a bit in having backup work but eh. It's not an end of the world situation, I think I can find something to do over a few days while Seti isn't sending me anything.

Well I run a 10 day cache so I'll go several more days before my backup projects kick in. ;)

Cheers.

Well, i have to think about a 10 Day Cache also. I'm out of
work in about 24-36h - with my 6 Day Cache. :-(

I run 11 CPU/GPU projects and 1 GPU only project with a 2hour cache. I let longterm debt balance out my work when projects go offline and then come back. BOINC balances the load very well. It takes a lot of projects running out of work at the same time before my machine runs out of work. Also newer BOINC versions let you set true backup projects with a 0 resource share that download one WU at a time when the main projects all die and the cache is dry.

I'm wondering if BOINC doesn't figure cache out on an 8 hour workday schedule. :-) I've got mine set for 6 days and ran out last night.

I am just thankful for all the GPU crunchers out there tossing out bad work. So their tasks get recycled & sent out to someone that can process them correctly. :)

Yup, that's the best thing. If you can't process a Workunit correct - don't worry, someone else will do it. ;-)
