Trying now since over an hour to get a WU with all tricks, no luck... :-\
It gets really annoying with the time.

Edit:
Finally managed to get one, yay.

The computer with the 9800 GT is working on its last, though that is likely to keep it occupied until well into tomorrow ...

The GTC 280 has one more in the queue so it should be running out sometime tonight ... I will have to wait and see if I have to get prayer beads out again ...

In other news, WCG's having server problems for the first time in my memory that has lasted more than a few minutes ... so, I have about 3 days of CEP tasks done and in holding ...

Mind Modeling is also off line ...

The good news, the stress on SIMAP with a high resource share is paying handsome dividends as the growth in the Cobblestones earned is rising nicely (thank you), with a possibility that we may be able to see an increase of as much as 20K in the total.

Other focus projects are likewise seeing more modest gains but even there the increases are heartwarming ...

In sports, the inability to save community preferences continues for more than 20 straight days so you cannot see the glory of my signature ...

Stay tuned ... a special comment may be on the horizon ...

I think the feeder "clog" issue is back ... where the feeder gets full of one and only one type of task instead of retaining a balance. I suggested several changes years ago ... ah well ... it is sure acting like the queue gets full of tasks for the PS3 and has no room for the tasks for the PCs ... unless they are the same tasks?

Before the change in the feeder we did not have a single issue which you seem to describe. Sometimes there was no GPU work, but it had just ran dry and the creation of new ones had to be issued manually. There was no strange clogging. And we know the feeder has the bug of not sending work to clients even if there are enough WUs in the queue. So I assume what we're seeing here is just more of the same.

Interesting question though, are the WUs the same? I'd suppose not, but could they be the same? Would one want this? But I digress.

MrS

I think the number of participants has increased quite dramatically from under 1,000 to over 1,300 in the last two months so unless the number of WU's being issued has increased proportionally this may be a factor as well... ( problems with the SETI cuda program may be sending some this way...)

Dear Paul,
thanks for this suggestion. It was actually the same case for us. BOINC people from Berkeley helped us understanding it the same day that ETA pointed me to your message after my holidays.

thanks.
