running boinc 7.2.42 with Luntics 0.43. Everything is crunching fine, but my cpu tasks are decreasing, and not being replaced. Every time boinc does an update, it only requests tasks for ATI.
Everything was fine with Lunatics 0.42, CPU has AVX selected on install (which its capable of), and it's happily crunching, just not getting new tasks?

The best thing to do - although it's hard work - is to turn on the <work_fetch_debug> logging flag and study the event log. It's complex, but the answers to most questions can be dug out of it.

You have some Astropulse v7 work now, But you haven't completed any yet, and they haven't done their 11 validations yet, so they probably have their initial long estimates, so taking up some of your cache size.

Application details for host 6854740

Same happened to me as I only keep a small cache.

Have a look at the "Remaining (estimated)" column, on my fastest machine, the GPU estimated time is 46 hours, whereas they are being completed in around an hour.

As for CPU is says 217 hours!!

You're probably right, both ATI AP7 tasks are showing 12hrs estimated, whereas the cpu tasks are showing as 125hrs. I'll ignore it for now and see what transpires, the beast is crunching, and that's all that matters ;-)
