My boxes are running dry too. In 7 hours they'll be sitting idle. I've tried everything from all the other threads and no joy!!! |

I've tried to get work manually hundreds of times today. Nothing. Tried resetting the project several times, tried several different versions of BOINC. Tried detaching from the project and reattaching. Nothing but the same message: 12/27/2008 2:09:52 PM Sending scheduler request: Requested by user. Requesting 958003 seconds of work, reporting 0 completed tasks 12/27/2008 2:09:57 PM Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks 12/27/2008 2:09:57 PM Message from server: No work sent 12/27/2008 2:09:57 PM Message from server: Full-atom molecular dynamics for Cell processor is not available for your type of computer. 12/27/2008 2:09:57 PM Message from server: Full-atom molecular dynamics on Cell processor is not available for your type of computer. This is getting extremely frustrating. Everything seemed to go rotten after v6.56 got pulled back. Now it says there's 1150 WUs ready to send. I sure can't get any. |

More info: Project priority is set very high (999). Set to DL 3 days of work. Tried suspending the CPU project for a while so GPUGRID was the only project. Nothing. Rebooted. Nothing. Said 50 hail marys and 50 our fathers. Nothing. Painted a pentagram on the floor and danced around it 7 times blowing a horn. Nothing. Now there's: Results ready to send 1,192 Results in progress 1,896 |

Similar issues without the pentagram on the floor... http://www.gpugrid.net/show_host_detail.php?hostid=20480 Finished it's last gpu wu about 20 minutes ago. I updated the project while suspending CPDN (the only other project running on it) and... (drumroll please...) 12/27/2008 4:35:11 PM|GPUGRID|Sending scheduler request: Requested by user.

Now all of a sudden on my 871st manual update I got 1 WU. I think it was the 42nd reiteration of the Namo Uvajjhâyanam that finally did it. |

For the first time today the available WUs are actually decreasing, so maybe somebody fixed something: Results ready to send 1,138 Results in progress 1,950 |

Same here. This problem started back on the 10 or 11th of December right about the same time the WU's got split into three catagories 850k, and 2x500k steps. Maybe it's time to go back to single WU of 850k steps and 6.3.21 with ACEMD 6.55. Could also have something to do with the DCF. My 8800GT's are around 10.5 while my GTX280's are around 9.9 after reset and about 1 week of work to balance them out. I believe the 8800GT was the 1x factor for the project, so there could be a problem in the code(like someone shifted the period) and we now have 10x. This could be affecting all other GPU to throw the whole project off. My 2 cents!! Pat |

Got 2 new WUs :) MrS Scanning for our furry friends since Jan 2002 |

I just filled all my Caches again, probably will have to go thru the same thing tomorrow sometime but hopefully not. |

Not to discount people's problems, but remember, we are in early days here with this new technology. We know there are issues with the various BOINC Manager versions and there are likely issues with the server software (feeder and scheduler) ... As I have stated before, though I don't know if the project folks have picked up on it, is that I think we are getting the one single message instead of the variaety that we should for various client server interaction failures. In other words, we are having several different problems but we all get the one message. Kinda like the early days in window with the ubiquitous General Protection Fault message. Because almost all crashes puked up the one message it was difficult to figure out what was happening ... Anyway, be of good cheer ... We are getting work even if we are missing at times ... And, just think, not THAT long ago we were wasting all those GPU cycles completely 24/7 ... now we are wasting them only SOME of the time ... in other words, the cup is really half full ... |

.... managed to fill all my caches manually - used the suspend all other projects workaround. I think I'm over my 'excitement' at the state the project is in and accept that at this time is will not run unattended/automatically for me. It'll come good. P. |

The pentagram goes on the ceiling, a ring of salt on the floor:D Completed work on one box and received a work unit[9:30pm EST]in a normal boinc fashion...must have been the salt:) |

All this time I though it was going to be my chanting incantations for you to get work ... That does it, I will only chant for my work from now on ... |

Said 50 hail marys and 50 our fathers. Nothing. Painted a pentagram on the floor and danced around it 7 times blowing a horn. Nothing. You say "set to DL 3 days of work". Do you mean the cache is set for 3 days? GPUGRID has short turn around times and typically will want work back within 3-4 days so that might be the reason why you can't get any (as well as BOINC 6.4.5 not working properly). Try setting the cache a bit lower to say 2 days, that way BOINC should think it can complete the work in time. |
