How many OPNG are currentdly distribuited? Thanks A while back it was 1700 work units every 30 minutes. Recently there was a validation issue and the techs said they would increase the number of work units to compensate once the issue was fixed. If I had to guess, it's back to 1700 every 30 minutes.

Thanks Sgt Joe for having a look. This log is from my go fast machine with RTX3070-- It simply will not download any OPNG files at all...

I think I see the problem - maybe.

Do you have Open Pandemics checked in the profile ? I see you are only getting MCM tasks. Cheers

Hi Sgt Joe
Yep everything ticked in the device profile. I've tried a new profile with GPU's ticked. Been tearing my very sparse hair out over this for months. I occasionally get one or two OPNG's on one machine (Intel with GTX1080) then nothing for weeks. Clearly I'm doing something stupid but just can't figure it out. Part of my problem is that I do not know even if there are really any work units available. Is there a server status anywhere? For all I know, I might be chasing unicorns because there is simply no work!! Downloading CPU tasks OK but just does not want to play with GPU's: here's a snippet of current effort after a complete deletion and reload of WCG project: 8/11/2021 22:11:20 | World Community Grid | checking NVIDIA GPU 8/11/2021 22:11:20 | World Community Grid | [work_fetch] set_request() for NVIDIA GPU: ninst 1 nused_total 0.00 nidle_now 1.00 fetch share 1.00 req_inst 1.00 req_secs 17280.00 8/11/2021 22:11:20 | World Community Grid | NVIDIA GPU set_request: 17280.000000 8/11/2021 22:11:20 | World Community Grid | [work_fetch] request: CPU (190080.00 sec, 11.00 inst) NVIDIA GPU (17280.00 sec, 1.00 inst) 8/11/2021 22:11:20 | World Community Grid | Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. 8/11/2021 22:11:20 | World Community Grid | Requesting new tasks for CPU and NVIDIA GPU 8/11/2021 22:11:23 | World Community Grid | Scheduler request completed: got 11 new tasks 8/11/2021 22:11:23 | World Community Grid | Project requested delay of 121 seconds 8/11/2021 22:11:23 | World Community Grid | [work_fetch] backing off NVIDIA GPU 354 sec 8/11/2021 22:11:23 | | [work_fetch] Request work fetch: RPC complete Any ideas... |

Since you do get OPNG from time to time your settings are correct. Judging by the points that W3690 get you are not running that PC a lot or only with a few threads, not that the latter should matter. It is partly down to luck and partly down to how often often BOINC Manager scheduler request work. Since a OPNG task takes 100-1000 seconds and the minimum time between requests are 121 seconds there should be a fair chance that "there is room" for a job if any is available.
----------------------------------------If some of the gurus are wiser, and I'm sure that many are, then correct me. Keep the PC on and cross your fingers :)  |

Part of my problem is that I do not know even if there are really any work units available. Is there a server status anywhere? For all I know, I might be chasing unicorns because there is simply no work!! They are out there. They do require some work to get. I think they only release twice a hour at varied times and only a limited number. It's All I am currently crunching (GPU) and doing ~3k per day.    |

Yes, it would be nice if you could see somewhere if there are any GPU tasks available. I haven't seen any for a couple of days since I started crunching OPNG.
----------------------------------------Maybe because I'm not caching work, I'm missing out on the GPU tasks? Edit - I need to cache some GPU work. Problem kinda fixed now with 50 tasks on one of my pc's. Lucky draw if the others receive work I guess.   [Edit 1 times, last edit by Chooka at Nov 16, 2021 8:48:00 AM] |
