Very weird. I have 4 Windows machines crunching. One of them (the least powerful) doesn't seem to have any problems. The others haven't received nada since Christmas Day. Never seen such a distribution of tasks.

Thanks, I've tried that on the 3 laptops that I'm having problems with. Nothing doing.
----------------------------------------I never noticed that when fetching work it specifically says whether it's looking for CPU or GPU work. My other laptop with a NVIDIA graphics card says "Requesting new tasks for NVIDIA GPU and Intel GPU". I've only recently got a laptop with a proper graphics card, that's probably why. 31/12/2023 07:53:39 | World Community Grid | Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. 31/12/2023 07:53:39 | World Community Grid | Requesting new tasks for CPU and Intel GPU 31/12/2023 07:53:41 | World Community Grid | Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks 31/12/2023 07:53:41 | World Community Grid | No tasks sent 31/12/2023 07:53:41 | World Community Grid | No tasks are available for OpenPandemics - COVID 19 31/12/2023 07:53:41 | World Community Grid | No tasks are available for OpenPandemics - COVID-19 - GPU 31/12/2023 07:53:41 | World Community Grid | No tasks are available for Africa Rainfall Project 31/12/2023 07:53:41 | World Community Grid | No tasks are available for Help Stop TB 31/12/2023 07:53:41 | World Community Grid | No tasks are available for Mapping Cancer Markers 31/12/2023 07:53:41 | World Community Grid | No tasks are available for Smash Childhood Cancer |

Since the only project with any work units right now is MCM, sometimes the availability of work units is spotty. Other posters have mentioned some problems getting OPNG units with the Intel GPU, but I don't think any OPN GPU units have been available for some time. You might check your profile(s) to see how much you have set to request . Other than that I don't have any other ideas.At least for the time being the queues on both my Linux and Windows machines have been kept mostly full.
----------------------------------------Cheers Edit: Must be an end of the year thing because now 2 of my systems have gone dry. the last work units arrived about 03::00 or so UTC.

At last. At 03:00 hours UTC my big machine picked up 8 MCM WU's. At least I know I haven't broken the config files or something.
----------------------------------------I have 7 odd projects running and the only two that are getting work are Universe and Einstein. All the others seem to be down. I really should boot up an old laptop with Linux... |

Windows machine is dry and has been since 03:00 UTC. Linux machines are still getting work.

I agree.
----------------------------------------Normal is about 500 work units. Would be worse if the Linux machines had gone dry. 2024-01-01 0:027:03:40:20 104244 194 2023-12-31 0:054:18:51:47 203028 384 2023-12-30 0:046:23:56:47 170338 319 2023-12-29 0:050:21:59:26 184133 346 2023-12-28 0:040:03:41:40 147528 278 Cheers

MCM supply is at best intermittent. Mike +1 Cheers Not here. I'm getting enough work to keep my machines busy. Supply is much different from not going dry. I suspect everyone having problems getting work are not using default settings and a higher cache size. The key is asking for work on a frequent basis. My cache size is set to 2 days. I usually only have 12 hours of work in the queue. I've noticed no more than 20 work units are downloaded at one time. This has been happening since the restart. I am running maxxed out cached 10 days and up to 10 days more setting other than that stock on all my machines. Between WCG and Sidock they stay busy 100% of the time. I wish i knew the reason why so many users are having issue. Xfinity XB8 modem, windows 10, most machines are on weak WIFI signal. I don't know. Despite largest cache settings, they upload results as soon as they can. They do not wait. It's not like they fill up and then tend to only connect when cache is getting empty. So large cache size does not affect frequency of phoning WCG, for me. Is there a statistics page on the site to see # of work units in queue to be distributed? I don't think so. |
