No chance!

I installed a new video card yesterday afternoon.

I brought 7 more machines online yesterday as well. Mostly all dual socket Xeons. :/

I just checked, and I have 1 more task than the previous limit. That hadn't happened before, so I am guessing the limits have been increased. With 6 cores, and 2 GPU's, my limit was 1100 tasks. Now I have 1101 tasks.

I think you might just have a ghost Steve. I'm still limited to 50/400...

I think so as well. My HTPC is still limited to 302 tasks. :(

Edit: Double checking I only have 200 tasks on the box. So I do seem to have 102 ghosts that are not getting resent. At least it is 50 tasks per CPU core instead of 50 CPU tasks total now.

I have 336 MB and 59 AP ready to run on my single GPU machine.

I have 761 MB ready to run on my double GPU machine. Nice part here is that only one of the cards actually runs SETI.

Fortunately I have been able to keep close to my limits lately, but I really wish I could build a cache. 400 wu per GPU is only 1 days worth. I have a few days of CPU work, including AP units, but my GPU's are quite the work hogs.

Kind sir, may I please borrow about 100 GPU tasks for one of my computers?

Please send them in an unmarked envelope.

I have this "new build" (newly built from old parts) that's capable of 15k+/day and I keep an In Progress list in the single digits and it's only turning-in 3k/day because it's starving for work.

I know it'll iron itself out in time, so I'm not worried. I even approve of the reason you don't overwhelm a new system with work.

Still, it's hurting my feelings.

i think when the new generation of graphic cards arrive we will need a new limits or 10 day cache will be a lot lower than in the real world.

Haven't checked this, had about 20 AstroPulse WUs, done in 2 to 5 hours,
2 per (ATI 5870) GPU, but I noticed too often 1 is running on 0.5 GPU, if there's
not enough work, so I better set this to 1 per GPU.

In a previous post, in this thread, you said, I'm using 6 cores (CPU) and 4 on
GPUs, when you use HyperThreading, are you experiencing too long
computation times, doubled or another reason, keeping you from using HTT?

I get the best times with HTT on, only a real (SSSE3x) Floating Point
Benchmark, I can see, the I7-2600, is faster, whithout HTT.
But the i7-2600, ups the frequency, from 3.4 to 3.8GHz., if 1 or 2 cores are used, whitout HTT. (Also with HTT on, but slightly lower frequencies).

I'd like more AstroPulse work.... And, too often, the slowest host gets them.

My Badger is still hungry. More popcorn please!!

And yes, they seem to have a changed formula for restrictions at the moment..
Badger tops out around 1300(slightly more, but close.

That is with 16 "cores", and 2(1 double) GPU's.

For my particular rig, just cruching Seti, I get jagged GPU output when using hyperthreading, and hence reduced output with hyperthreading on. With hyperthreading off, the GPU output is very smooth, and loaded at 98-99%. Once I get back around 80,000 RAC, I will experiment with hyperthreading again.

On Einstein it is a different story. Hyperthreading works very well there, as the project is using different strengths than Seti.

My CPU speed is at 4.2 GHz, and my GPU's are running at 871 MHz

Your mileage may vary.

Yeah yeah, and I would like One of these

True, but more kibble in the kitty bowls is achievable.....LOL.
