Answer is simple
Read around (other threads) to find why


Have you started getting new work, Dan? I had been giving my GPU time to another project, but decided to try some A@H GPU work units. I haven't gotten any yet, and I've been trying to figure out if its something in my settings, which are scattered among the BOINC client, the project, and BOINCstats/BAM (having set up that rig before I thought much about how I was going to control it, I may have made a mess of the settings by doing things in too many places).

The other option, of course, is that A@H doesn't have any GPU work units available right now, but I'm not sure how to find out. The application selection list in user settings doesn't distinguish between CPU and GPU applications. I get CPU work units fine (except, of course, for during the weekend's brief shortage or when the server crashes -- I suppose that I should make that explicit so I don't irk BilBg. After all, keeping BilBg happy is our reason for being here, isn't it).

As of now, there are about 82,000+ tasks in progress. Does anyone remember what that number was a day or so ago? It seems unlikely, but did that number take a big jump?

On August 30, one of my machines reported two completed tasks, 46391704 and 46391714, which still show with status "Completed, waiting for validation" even though subsequent tasks reported by that machine have already been validated and credited.

If they're stuck in the queue, they should probably be deleted and redistributed.

My Machine has 4 cores, the keyboard does not stutter. It's going to be a week soon and your server still aint working. Perhaps I should just dump the WU's and dump the project and go elsewhere. It's obvious to me you guys aren't up for the task to keep things running smoothly.


You're free to go somewhere else. No one is forcing you to be here, and I have little doubt that some wouldn't mind if you weren't.

Stop moaning. All projects suffer glitches from time to time.


+1000


I don't use (and have learned to loathe) Facebook's "Like" button, I don't +1 anything on Google, and I NEVER write "me too" comments, but I do understand why such things might be useful.

Yes, upload worked, but all attempts do download wu's result in errors.

Edit: forget that, right now I've got 3 wu's.


You'll probably get some WUs soon. I just got two days worth on two machines. Doubtless that the server is pretty busy right now with the rush of demand we're placing on it.

The only thing wrong with vacations is that they end. Welcome back, Kyong. We're glad you're here, even if you might wish you'd had another week and a more peaceful return.

WHAT??? Something unpredictable happened during computer maintenance??? AUGH! Nothing like that has EVER happened to me!

...except for those sixteen or seventeen thousand times that it did, but that was over a whole 35-year career in IT, so... lemme see now... Yeah! That's only a few hundred times a year! So this interminable wait is simply inexcusable!

(Ahhh. I feel much better now.)
