I have 2 cpus in my system crunching seti WUs, why is my max 100 WUs?? shouldn't it be 100 per cpu?? shouldn't I get up to 200 WUs for the machine?The limit is 100 CPU tasks per machine and 100 extra tasks for each GPU after that. ;-) Cheers. |

Post the first 30 lines of the Event Log after the first startup of BOINC. That will show whether BOINC is loading a driver for the gpu.

Would there be a problem with the GPU she is running? It's a rather limited piece of kit. NVIDIA GeForce 9400 (256MB) OpenCL: 1.0 "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

I have 2 cpus in my system crunching seti WUs, why is my max 100 WUs?? shouldn't it be 100 per cpu?? shouldn't I get up to 200 WUs for the machine? 2 CPU cores, 1 CPU is the answer in your case. |

thanks for the quick answers. I block the gpu from crunching. It is old and slow and a mac, so I don't crunch with the gpu. |

Even with 2 physical CPUs, you still only get 100 tasks. Yep. The 100 WUs per GPU was a bit of a mistake which they didn't fix fortunately. It would be nice if the same error could be propagated to the CPU restrictions, or given the number of high multicore count systems these days, move to a per core limit with a clock speed or a turnaround time multiplier with an inconclusive/error rate multiplier limiter.

I'm so sorry to lead the discussion in that direction. Don't worry, it won't be the last time. Enough work to get through the weekly outage is a fantasy of many. To be able to get through a 2 day (eg weekend) outage being the holy grail... Grant Darwin NT |

I was just pointing out the obvious. All in the game of converting money into electricity and then into Seti work. Wish at times I could get a better exchange rate though............... "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

New CPU cooler for extreme overclockers. Nah, that's not big enough, try one of these. Though it's been said that a Nuclear Power Plant powers My PC. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

What the heck is it WITH Micro$oft anyway?!?!?! . . Welcome to the I hate M$ club. In my opinion Windows 10 is one of the best OS available, but M$ are things that would get me banned if I wrote them. They really know how to screw over their users.

O&O Shutup came out about the same time as Spybot Anti-Beacon. Where Anti-Beacon focus was more about shutting off the MS telemetry, Shutup was more of a complete control over what MS services are allowed to run or not. Does the telemetry shutoff but a whole lot more. I ran that one after discovering it and replaced Anti-Beacon with it. I was satisfied it did what it claimed to do. . . Sold! That is the sort of thing I need to hear :) Stephen :) |

And start analyzing the millions or even billions of tasks already crunched over the years. . . It's a shame that the Nebula function cannot be network distributed as the 1st stage of SETI is. I am sure hundreds and hundreds would turn over a PC or 3 for that cause. Stephen :) |

Come back from vacation and it's like Chicago in here....Maybe I should have sent all of Seti users for a week's vacation lol.... |
