Are CPU tasks being sent out now? I was finally able to get new tasks again except I am only getting GPU tasks at the moment. I should be getting CPU tasks as well

To quote a recent UK cop show, "It's a grey area". I'm currently in the reverse situation, one of my main crunchers ran out of GPU tasks, and didn't get any more until the CPU tasks filled up back to the 100 limit again. It's all to do with what BOINC thinks your priorities are; in a troubled situation like the last day or so it sometimes guesses wrong. You can force the situation by changing your machine's location to another milieu, and changing your preferences for that milieu to eschew GPU tasks; your GPU tasks will still crunch but the server will only send CPU tasks until you either revert the milieu or change its preferences.

Preferences for this project -> SETI@home preferences -> Separate preferences for <milieu>

SETI will fill your most productive hardware (GPU's) 1st before it fills your least productive (CPU's).

Cheers.

I see only 391 tasks waiting to be sent for MB and a big fat 0 for AP.

Where do you see APs being split?

If you scroll down you will find the state of the files being split, on the right-hand half of the page there are two columns, one for MB and one for AP - under AP you will see that all the files are described as "(done)", which means there are no new AP work units being generated just now.

Agreed. I was just wondering if he had access to a webpage
that isn't accessible from Home. People sometimes post about data not
directly accessible from Home and I was wondering if this
was one of those cases.
