Last modified: 1 Jan 2018, 11:41:42 UTC Hi, everyone...wish you a Happy New S@H Year ! Just a small question : I have the usual 5 minutes back-off time after a manual update request. Is there supposed to be an automatic scheduler request when that time runs out ? It depends. If your cache is full, then it won't make another request till the next WU has been completed and uploaded. But if your cache isn't full, even if another WU hasn't been completed, then after the 5min 3 sec delay it will ask for work again (although that also depends on your Store up to an additional x days setttings). The larger that value, the longer it will wait (ie the more WUs that will have to be returned) before requesting more work. My system is modest (CPU i7-4770K, GPU GeForce 780Ti), and my in progress is isusally 160-180. Settings are not greedy : Store at least 1.1 days of work Store up to an additional 1 days of work Excerpt from log : 01/01/2018 10:15:45 \| SETI@home \| update requested by user 01/01/2018 10:15:45 \| SETI@home \| Sending scheduler request: Requested by user. 01/01/2018 10:15:45 \| SETI@home \| Requesting new tasks for CPU and NVIDIA GPU 01/01/2018 10:15:49 \| SETI@home \| Scheduler request completed: got 1 new tasks . . 01/01/2018 11:18:44 \| SETI@home \| Finished upload of 31dc07ad.25668.72.3.30.201_0_r839218346_0 01/01/2018 11:22:52 \| SETI@home \| Sending scheduler request: To report completed tasks. 01/01/2018 11:22:52 \| SETI@home \| Reporting 16 completed tasks 01/01/2018 11:22:52 \| SETI@home \| Requesting new tasks for CPU and NVIDIA GPU 01/01/2018 11:22:58 \| SETI@home \| Scheduler request completed: got 15 new tasks 01/01/2018 11:23:00 \| SETI@home \| Started download of 28mr07ak.1010.1299.7.34.159 . . 01/01/2018 12:22:58 \| SETI@home \| Finished upload of 28mr07ak.7480.6616.5.32.49_0_r2027700034_0 01/01/2018 12:24:00 \| SETI@home \| Sending scheduler request: To report completed tasks. 01/01/2018 12:24:00 \| SETI@home \| Reporting 20 completed tasks 01/01/2018 12:24:00 \| SETI@home \| Requesting new tasks for CPU and NVIDIA GPU 01/01/2018 12:24:06 \| SETI@home \| Scheduler request completed: got 2 new tasks 01/01/2018 12:24:08 \| SETI@home \| Started download of 25ja07ac.4170.10706.16.43.83.vlar As you can see, the last two requests were more than 1 hour apart, with 20 WUs reported.

I just don't know why it worked differently earlier, haha. The definitions of 'Store at least' and 'up to an additional' were substantially revised with the launch of BOINC v7, around 2012. If you've been used to BOINC v6 and earlier - it's changed. ID: 1910023 ·

As many others have beaten me to it, still- Yes, with "Store up to an additional 1 days of work" set at 1, then you'll get that sort of behavior. I've got mine set to 0.04 and it generally asks every 5min or so (with a 4 day cache setting. Yes, I live in hope). Grant Darwin NT ID: 1910168 ·
