Anyone else not getting work???

As I recall from previous discussions, if you have ANY tasks Suspended or running in High Priority mode, BOINC will NOT request new work from ANY project.

That's not true, you can have tasks suspended from one project and still request work from another project, and Boinc can request work even if you have tasks running high priority too (in some circumstances)

Awwww....what happened to all the AP ATI/AMD tasks?! I was receiving a lot of them, spitting them out quickly, then all of sudden....no more :( I guess the AP tasks go as quickly as they come for the GPU's. Hopefully after the long weekend we will get treated to some more.

Is there any way to configure the prefs for each individual computer for what tasks you want to accept, not just the general overall ones?

No, you can't configure individual hosts for what apps they run (via the website), But you have four venues/locations, so you can setup four different sets of preferences,
but that isn't always good enough, (you can't exclude AP from the CPU and only send them to the GPU, and the same with MB)
If you do an app_info you can have any combination you want, ie AP only on the CPU, and MB only on the GPU, or vice versa.

Thanks. I'm not looking to get too picky, but I would like the abilty to run more GPU wu's on the stronger machines. Let the computer 'stock-up' on those so it has a nice batch so it does not run out. Oh well, might just leave it all auto and let seti do the brain work for me.

Dont know if this is the right thread, but I am only running one W/U on my GPU while my 6 cores & 12 threads sit idle. I should be firing on all 12 threads. I think this has been for about 2 weeks now. Am I not getting additional W/U or did something else creep in??
Anyone?
thanks

I am not getting new work on one of my systems. Not for SETI not for any of the other projects. It looks like to be an issue with BOINC, although I have the same version on both HW. Just the one not receiving is 3 years old

I'm not getting any CPU work, and have not for a couple of weeks. I recently upgraded my video from an "old" 8800GTX Ultra to a new 680GTX. Seems that since around that time I only get GPU work and the 4 CPU's are idle...

Played around with the cache settings but nothing changed other than a bunch more DL's of GPU work...grrr.

Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated!

This is an idea for all of us who have been frustrated by the cheaters, i.e., the projects that play with the rules (usually deadlines) to push to the front of the queue and keep all the other projects from running.

I have always had a special dislike for anyone who attempts to take control of my computers from me, even if it is for a good cause (my main unruly project's name starts with an "E" and ends with "n"...I'll let you figure it out ;) ), so I set out to find a solution.

By trial and error I found a quick and simple way to keep them under control.

I keep the offending project set to "No new tasks". When I decide it's time to let that project process some, I change it to "Allow new tasks", then tell the project to "Update". Usually the project will send you a new batch of tasks right away. As soon as the line with "...got xx new tasks" pops up I quickly set the project back to "No new tasks". Then I let those tasks run out and repeat the process when I feel like letting that project have some more cycles.

If the offender should send a few too many units in the batch, I just "Suspend" the project somewhere in the middle of processing the current batch. When I want to let the batch have some more time, I just "Resume" the project.

It works great, and only takes a few seconds of my time every now and then. The other projects are basically unaffected by this and continue to request work as needed.

As a -very- long-time programmer, I realize that sometimes simple manual intervention works better than all the programming switches and logic. ;)

Let's keep those pc hijackers under control, eh? :)

This too has been my solution for E@H. That project just didn't want to play by the rules .... never obeyed my disk space limitations or resource share and always downloaded way more work than it reasonably could finish before deadlines and always forced itself into Priority mode and chucked my other projects in the round file. Now I just get a under a dozen tasks with an Update and NNT and let it run roughshod over my other projects like usual and then put in back in the closet for a week until I feel like my other projects can take the RAC hit for a day.

No new work for several weeks. Nothing for CPU, nothing for GPU. I have SETI@Home set for a majority share of my work allotment, but still nothing...

Work has been flowing for several weeks.
If you post the first 30 or so lines from your message log, people might be able to help you figure out why you're not getting any work.

EDIT- you're also subscribed to a lot of projects, so if you could post exactly what your work allocation is that would help as well.

Asking only for ATI work.

I don't get any work here either.

There is probably 4 ATI requesters for every 1
ATI AP work unit produced.
