Won't get new tasks. Communication deferred. Looks like I can't keep my 2 PC's with work units. Any Ideas? Andy |

There are very few tasks around just now. For whatever reason the recent "tapes" have not produced the usual number of tasks so we are all short. Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

Then is it a coincidence that I haven't been able to get GPU specific tasks for a while? I thought it might have been that I overclocked my GPU but even after resetting the clock, I still can't get new tasks for it, and the CPU tasks just stopped coming in sometime half way through yesterday. |

When it first happened on my laptop, I restored the PC thinking something went wrong. Now it happened on the desk top. I don't want to restore that one. Andy |

Then is it a coincidence that I haven't been able to get GPU specific tasks for a while? There are no "GPU specific" tasks. All tasks, be it Multibeam v7 or Astropulse v7 will sit waiting in the feeder until a computer comes knocking asking for work for "a GPU", "a CPU" or both at the same time. Work then gets appointed to that computer according to which hardware resource got there first. Which means that if you haven't had work for your GPU in a while now, you'll have to start looking closer to home first: - Are your project preferences still set so your GPU can ask for work? Do check that you're on the right location (default, home, school, work). - In BOINC Manager, is the Activity->GPU option set so the GPU can run (always or based on preferences)? - In BOINC Manager, is any work still registered to the GPU set to "Suspend"? -- Tasks tab, check that the button "Show Active Tasks" is showing. If "Show All Tasks is showing, click this. The button shows the option you have, not the state it is in. -- Any task possibly showing status "Suspended by user", click it, then click the "Resume" button. Again, the Suspend/Resume button shows the option you have, not the state it is in. - When BOINC asks Seti for work, does it do so only for the CPU or also for the GPU? You can add more elaborate messages to the Event Log by enabling the <sched_op_debug> flag from Advanced->Event Log Diagnostic Flags. Checking it and then clicking OK will make that it's used immediately. The Event Log (CTRL+SHIFT+E) will then show work request values per hardware instance. You can post a log with that for some of us to trawl through. |

I too am not getting any tasks. Foamy is "Lord and Master". (Oh, + some Classic WUs too.) |

I had a separate post about this earlier, I'll link it so it can be discussed there instead. http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=76392 |

Mark Sattler emailed the admins and got this answer back from them: Mark Sattler wrote: Matt has explained to me that the AP database is not fully healed, and automated processes are working in the background to complete repairs. It may be some weeks yet before this has been completed. Richard Haselgrove wrote: Since MB work occupies the same fanout directories as AP work, that will affect MB splitting as well. But at least we can crack on with returning MB work for assimilation, and thus recycle the limited space available.source post 1, source post 2 |
