Why don't I get CPU WUs with BOINC 7.0.25?

On my machine FermiBox2 (ID 6609248) I am running BOINC 7.0.25 and the latest Lunatics apps, with all settings as on my other (6.10.56, -.60) machines. Despite requests for "CPU and NVIDIA" (machine has 2 x GTX 480 and 1 x GT240) I have gotten NO CPU WUs at all. This has been going on for several days now. Why don't I get any CPU WUs? Is there something I don't know? Is it a fault of some kind in 7.0.25? |

Thanks for the suggestion. I switched to the "School" profile which I set to CPU yes, NVIDIA no. But now I am getting "not asking for new tasks" on Update. Is there no end to the perfidy? |

It better shape up fast - I'm going away on an 8 day vacation tomorrow, and it has barely one day's worth of GPU work and NO CPU work, and I have it set for 5 days work buffer, which it is no where near. Maybe I should break out the whips I got for Xmas. |

It just gave you 7 CPU units. See, threatening with punishment helps :-) Yeah, it did. But they won't finish. I'm well into "Project backoff" already. BOINC giveth and BOINC taketh away.. |

Thanks! The proxy did it (for now) with some liberal exercise of my "Retry Now" finger. |

I don't know if you have any other projects attached to that particular machine. These are the buffer settings that I have on both of my machines and I have not had any problems getting work. There are times when some tasks have gone to HP, mainly because I'm watching a DVD or playing a game, but I don't worry about it. The last 3 lines in the bottom image shows tasks waiting to run. I'm also running 80% of the computer 6 active cores & 2 for GPU processing, with the GPUs running 2 tasks each. I don't buy computers, I build them!! |

My home computer is now not asking for anymore work even though it has run out. Currently running Milkyway, all I am getting is this. 4/15/2012 12:15:15 PM | SETI@home | update requested by user 4/15/2012 12:15:20 PM | SETI@home | Sending scheduler request: Requested by user. 4/15/2012 12:15:20 PM | SETI@home | Not reporting or requesting tasks 4/15/2012 12:15:34 PM | SETI@home | Scheduler request completed Any ideas on what is going on? |

WELL I ran out of GPU WUs - now I've switched back to the profile ("home") that allows both CPU and GPU. So now BOINC won't ask for more WUs when I try an update. Not the ideal, smooth process, is it? PS: I'm running only SETI |

I never switch between profiles, I just tick and untick the boxes in the profile I have for the computer in question. It seems from what I have seen, that switching profiles, makes it harder to get SETI to understand wtf you're up to. (edit, added: Or at least it takes longer for the project to get you the work you want....) GREAT! |
