I contributed something other than the occasional rant and CPU time. :) Yes - I think you contributed two sleepless weekends in serverland (Eric didn't sound too chuffed in email, either). But at least they got time to plan and worry about it. Otherwise, I suspect we'd all have been saying our goodbyes around this time next Friday - and heaven knows how long it would have taken to work out why. ID: 1704446 ·

FWIW I would classify Eric's response as measured to the target, but suspect he would have royally chucked a wobbly if there was a physical meeting.

I cannot tell that from looking at my cruncher. I have been keeping the count low to have room for APs if they became available but increased the number of days work to keep in my local queue to test what you said. In the last half hour I have downloaded enough WUs so that I now have 100 CPU tasks and 100 GPU tasks. These are the same limits that have been around for a long time. Below are the times when I received the downloads so it appears that the large RTS figure might not be indicative of what the SETI server is doing. 26-Jul-2015 19:24:06 [SETI@home] Scheduler request completed: got 49 new tasks 26-Jul-2015 19:29:09 [SETI@home] Scheduler request completed: got 2 new tasks 26-Jul-2015 19:34:13 [SETI@home] Scheduler request completed: got 10 new tasks 26-Jul-2015 19:39:21 [SETI@home] Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks 26-Jul-2015 19:44:29 [SETI@home] Scheduler request completed: got 4 new tasks 26-Jul-2015 19:49:38 [SETI@home] Scheduler request completed: got 26 new tasks Times are EDST (East Coast USA) Edit: I just noticed the first downloads were mostly vlars so perhaps there were not any WUs immediately available for the GPU after the CPU queue was full.
