Being a recently returning user I am really impressed with the opeation of the project. It really is a thing of beauty compared to when I left the project a year or more ago. The SETI staff has done a wonderful job. You are to be commended!

I find that there is a limit of 200 wu to each computer. While I wish it could be increased it really does not matter. If you can crunch through your cache in 1 day or 1 week there really is no difference to the project other than other users waiting for work to be returned. It does make sense when you think of the computational power required to search through the data base to pick out the items you want as referenced at the top of the work unit pages. The project does have a limit on raw computational power that can be put to data base searches for each user. Still I wish the limit could be increased a bit.

Overall working for SETI now is a very satisfying experience and I am very happy to be crunching again. Thank You!

I think you'll find that's 100 CPU tasks and 100 GPU tasks per computer.
