Does anyone know why my computer is not getting job pieces from SETI? I noticed my computer received only cuda works recently, but this week I don't get ANY work at all. Has anything gone wrong?

I do know there's a problem with older GPUs running Astropulse tasks with the 340.52 driver, as discussed in @Pre-FERMI nVidia GPU users: Important warning, so those might be blocked from your machine. However, I'm not aware of any issue with that GPU/driver combination affecting the Multibeam tasks (cuda, in your case).

Also should be mentioned that today's backup took 9 hours from what I read.

Apparently the number of results as well as their quality was quite high up.

There were also a high number of .vlar tasks being returned last week as well.

Probably we will not get new tasks until a little later on.

I suggest to the OP having a look at the results for those computers that are visible if you want to be busy.

You have CPU work on:
http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/results.php?hostid=1642278
http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/results.php?hostid=11238508&offset=0&show_names=1&state=1&appid=0

And yes (as already noted) - if you expect/want to do AstroPulse v7 on the GPU it will not happen with the combination 'NVIDIA GeForce GT 220 (1024MB) driver: 340.52'

See the new plan_class "cuda_opencl_cc1" / "opencl_nvidia_cc1"
- it is to avoid computers running 'old' NVIDIA GPUs with 'compute capability' 1.x + 'new' drivers 340.52+ to get tasks

I have a 780 and I haven't received any GPU tasks since yesterday. I think there's a problem on some server, not sure if it is still ongoing.

Well I have 5 low power machines with GPU's and all were running low, but during today have all filled up to the max.
