We have found what prevented most of users to receive work despite having WUs in queue. Everybody should be receiving work now. There's plenty of WUS to crunch!

Ignasi,

I just received 8 (eight) wu's for 1 (one) machine with gtx480-card.

Strange????

Toni,

I cancelled all 8 wu's.

Downloading 6 new ones including 1 acemd2 (small wu) which is not in prerefence.

After 30 seconds again 3 new ones including 1 acemd2.

So, something is very wrong at the moment for this machine (gtx480).

I also downloaded 3 new wu's acemd2 for my gtx295 machine, which is OK. (max=4).

After some time (10 minutes) download for this machine extra 2 wu's, which is not OK now!

Enough info?

Good luck!

Toni,

I have one computer xp-pro 64bits with gtx260 card.
Just downloaded 6 wu's (long).

Prerefence is long wu 's and 10 days buffer (for ALL my machines).
Normally download was 2 wu's max.

Good luck!

I'm running 2 x 260s with the preference for only long WUs but now have 12 WUs (10 long 2 ACEMD2)

Cache set for 7 days but I don't need that cache for GPUGrid tasks... is this getting set back to max 4 or do I need to tweak my end?

I have begun receiving WUs, but they are Long-Runs, and I have those disabled. I CAN NOT stand the time limits for long runs! I end up getting 14 hours into 16 and the limit is over, wasting my time and money. I don't run this 24/7 or even every day.

What brought this problem on in the first place? Have you been updating the BOINC server code? If so, http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/changeset/23360/ may be relevant.

Finally it happened!
Finally, you can download the job a few days ahead, in case the server does not allow new tasks.
Up to this point has always loaded a maximum of 2 assignments.
Please do not remove this possibility.
At the moment, I managed to get 10 jobs, which will run about 3 days.

Well, the situation seems to have swung the other way: there is no work at all for both the acemdlong and the acemd2 apps.

I've always set it to 0.02 days. That way, it only gets new WUs when the current one is about half an hour away from finishing.

I have the "Accecpt 3rd party Apps" thing set, so that miiiight be the problem. I also have my work load set at 0.4. I still have what I believe to be the latest BOINC, unless a new one came out in the last couple months. I am getting no work at all except 3rd party apps, and even those are rare. I have been putting my GPU to work for Einstein@Home 100% for the time being, but it would be nice to have more (even 3rd party non long-run) from this project.

This GTX470 SOC is stellar, but I wish I waited 3 months for the GTX 560... The 470 frequently reaches sterilization temperature :D

Hi Anoobis ... please open a post over in the "Number Crunching" forum so we can help you get your 470 producing the best it can. You could start by setting Einstein to NNT. GPUGrid should get a WUs before Einstein completely dries up. If not press the update button and keep trying as sometimes the scheduler has problems determining if you have a reliable PC or not.
