My slower machine has recovered full cache but the faster one is just barely not depleting its cache. It's receiving new tasks at a steady pace but all tasks split from 31mr11ai are shorties or noise bombs, so it is also returning results at way higher than normal rate. |

Shortly after 07:00 GMT (midnight, Berkeley time) my computer 6156281 started getting the following on requests for work: 3/30/2020 2:36:18 | SETI@home | Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. 3/30/2020 2:36:18 | SETI@home | Requesting new tasks for CPU and NVIDIA GPU 3/30/2020 2:36:19 | SETI@home | Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks 3/30/2020 2:36:19 | SETI@home | No tasks sent 3/30/2020 2:36:19 | SETI@home | No tasks are available for AstroPulse v7 3/30/2020 2:36:19 | SETI@home | No tasks are available for SETI@home v8 3/30/2020 2:36:19 | SETI@home | This computer has finished a daily quota of 3 tasks 3/30/2020 2:36:19 | SETI@home | This computer has reached a limit on tasks in progress Normally my limit is very high, and I can usually cache 150 each of CPU and GPU units. Does anyone know what is causing this, and how I can fix it? Thanks! |

It probably means that a number (a large number) of your tasks have failed recently. Normally, we'd say 'look at your account on this website', and the task lists for that computer. But that's going to be difficult at the moment. Have a look at that machine, see what it's processing at the moment, and have a search through the Event Log. |

Shortly after 07:00 GMT (midnight, Berkeley time) my computer 6156281 started getting the following on requests for work: . . There has been a glitch and the schedulers have defaulted your rig. Just keep processing the work it gives you and returning valid results and it will gradually restore your previous limits. But it will probably take a few hours. Stephen |

Shortly after 07:00 GMT (midnight, Berkeley time) my computer 6156281 started getting the following on requests for work:It's a bit hard to say for sure with the replica being 4.6 days behind, but it very likely started to dump errored work. A restart will likely clear it unless you just recently upgraded your GPU drivers and if you did then roll them back to a working driver. Cheers. |

Does anyone know what is causing this, and how I can fix it?Not really, as the Replica is several days behind so we can't see the results you are producing. But looking at the application details for that system, Max tasks per day 3 Number of tasks today 173 Consecutive valid tasks 0 For some reason, it's been producing errors, and that's why it's now limited to the amount of work it can get. As work Validates, you'll be able to get more, but as further errors occur, that will be cut again. And with the Replica so far behind, and noting showing presently, there's no way to see that has been going on. You could check to make sure the CPU fan is running, the heatsink isn't full of dust, reboot the system Then check in the BOINC Manager any CPU WUs that do download & run & keep an eye on their progress. EDIT- It looks like you've been rescheduling? If so, you've probably been doing it so much it's resulted in CPU WU time estimates being all screwed up not having enough time to be processed & erroring out. Edit- yep every CPU WU i checked on in what the Replica is showing has been rescheduled to the GPU. You broke it. Grant Darwin NT |

Has the allowed number of tasks per resource been reduced back to the 100 / CPU and GPU? I have two hosts with 1 CPU + 2 GPUs and both have now 300 tasks each.

One of my machines with 2 x GPU and CPU work disallowed (the CPUs do other things) has 268 tasks at the moment. Hasn't got any new work recently, but doesn't get the message about 'reached a limit of tasks in progress'. |

I'm not seeing anything like that across my three machines either. numbers just don't add up at all. |

I've now got two machines at precisely the 300 limit for two GPUs. |

Same as Richard, I am still getting the 150 per device. When I can get them. I am still getting frequent no tasks messages so the caches are somewhat less than full, but over the 100 mark. Stephen :( |

OK, must have been just a coincidence. Now both my machines are under the 300.

Assimilators have made some progress. Not enough to make any meaningful difference but the queue is now below 7 million wus. |

My slower computer is getting nice amount of stuff every now and then, The faster cruncher gets almost nothing. I'm starting to wonder if I should use the slower computer to 'farm' tasks and then transfer them over to the faster computer... |

I used to do that with classic SETI, but I've been told it doesn't work with this one. |

Seems like something else breaks look this WU just received: https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=3829209762 Initial replication of 8? There are a lot of them. What is to do? Suggestions?
