I've been getting a mix of GPU & CPU work. Naturally the one with the faster GPU is struggling to get GPU work, the one with the faster CPU struggling to get CPU work. Probably getting work with every 20-30 requests. Certainly seems like the feeder is the culprit- plenty of work there, just none available. I suspect they might have tweaked a few things after the last outage- Scheduler responses are coming within 3-5 seconds. Before the outage, if it didn't timeout, it was a minute or 3. ____________ Grant Darwin NT.

Something's definitely going on. When the Servers came back up yesterday I had 24 AstroPulses remaining. I've only received a handful since yesterday. I'm down to my last 3 at present. You can look around and see I'm not alone. Most of the computers I saw were out or only had a couple, one had 14. All I get is "Project has no tasks available" when asking for APs, even though the server page lists 25,000 ready to send. The last one finished in 12 minutes, now I have 2...

When looking around I also noticed quite a few people were below the 200 task limit. I'm well below 200 because I'm saving space for those elusive APs.

Yeah, either something is not working quite right, or they deliberately changed some settings.
Even though there is beaucoup work ready to send, the bandwidth is not being fully utilized. It would appear to me that perhaps the scheduler/feeder combo might not be up to speed.

I just got 100 units in less than 30 minutes.
Download speed was ~150 KB/sec.
But also every second retry gave me no tasks available.

I see 3 completed, a long time ago. This is you right?
All AstroPulse v6 tasks for computer 5735690

The other one shows 3 in progress, I have 3 waiting.
All AstroPulse v6 tasks for computer 359

I wasn`t talking about astropulses.
Just about work in generell.

Hi, I have not been able to get any units either for cpu or gpu, and ran out completely a day or two ago, is there anyway I can give it a prop to get some units, there appear plenty available although I just get the message project has no tasks available.

I kinda thought you were...

I gave up on waiting for APs and asked for anything. I still haven't received anymore ATI tasks but just received 11 Cuda 609s. I'm once again on my last ATI task.

Woah, jackpot. 62 ATI MBs all at once;

Just in time. I suppose the APs are hopeless right now.

I just took a peek at the SSP. Isn't 1,764 kinda high for Master database queries/second?
