I have two computers, both have NVIDIA CUDA cards and AMD quad processors. One computer continues to receive a generous amount of CUDA and non-CUDA work. The other has mysteriously stopped receiving non-CUDA work units while the GPU gets heavily overloaded with CUDA work units. The AMD quad CPU sits idling with no work units to crunch. Anybody got any suggestions as to what gives? | |

Have you tried changing the settings on your account web page | |

I just did. It suspends GPU work, but no CPU work units are downloaded. | |

When I do network communications, the project only attempts to get GPU tasks: | |

Anybody got any suggestions as to what gives? I have had that happen before. When work is scarce, the scheduler apparently tries to always feed the fastest resource first. Usually the GPU. If the GPU does not get up to quota, the CPU gets nothing. And runs out of work. Work is flowing pretty good right now, I would be surprised if your GPU cache does not hit the limits and then some CPU work starts coming. ____________ ****** "Ask not, what your kitty can do for you.

Check your preferences, have you got anything in your "connect about every" if so reduce it to 0 days. | |

I just did. It suspends GPU work, but no CPU work units are downloaded. Now go into your Boinc Manager , Activity tab and check Use GPU never. Wait 5 minutes then request work and see what happens. | |

I just did. It suspends GPU work, but no CPU work units are downloaded. You did the wrong thing. ;-) Setting your SETI@home preferences to "Use NVIDIA GPU no" would never suspend GPU work already downloaded. It'll only prevent new CUDA tasks to be assigned to your machine(s). Gruß, Gundolf | |

I just did. It suspends GPU work, but no CPU work units are downloaded. Not the wrong thing if your trying to force cpu work. First you tell the system that you only want cpu work, then you set your computer to only work on cpu work units. The message he's getting that says "3/2/2012 12:18:15 AM SETI@home Message from server: This computer has reached a limit on tasks in progress" tells the tale. | |

It would help if you unhid your computers. | |

Anybody got any suggestions as to what gives? it helps to track problems if you unhide your computers. When you're not getting work, the first question is 'is it not asking or is it not receiving?' - check your massages tab/event log and post. It can have all sorts of reasons, but as Matk stated with the current server status you should be getting work now, so if you don't, I suspect you somehow disabled CPU work. | |

check your massages tab/event log and post. We have a massages tab now do we? ;-) Claggy | |

Sorry I was answering the wrong copy of you post, didn't see you'd opened a fresh thread. | |

check your massages tab/event log and post. That's another reason for asking him to unhide his computers. As things stand, we don't know whether he's using BOINC v6.10, v6.12 - or anything else. It's hard to tailor specific advice for a new visitor to these boards without that information. | |

check your massages tab/event log and post. I don't know about you, but I could do with one, I've got a stiff neck. | |

check your massages tab/event log and post. Me too, but mine's from a rather spectacular bike-racing incident (not the one that led to the tyre rubber on my number plate in my avatar photo, that one didn't even bring me down...). ____________   | |
