It's almost like the system refuses to give me new work since 6 tasks for some odd reason did not get started by the deadline (downloaded dec 3 and supposed to be reported by the 15th). But these tasks have not gone well for the others. 2 random sampled tasks have validation inconclusive. One, the second in line had a computation error (file not found on linux). I have reset the project, expanded the days from .3 to .5 and it refuses to send work. The other projects then take over. Is it this project or is it BOINC or whats going on? |

Set the other projects to no new tasks and then up your cache to a full day or even 2 or 3 days, then ask MilkyWay for work, then once you get it remember to set your cache back where you like it and set your other projects to get tasks again. MilkyWay task can think they will take a long time and 0.3 or even 0.5 of a day may not be enough of a cache size. |

As always Mikey, you have the answer! Thanks and have a good holiday. |

I'm glad it worked for you!! Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year to you as well!! |

I have a similar issue. I don't think I have received any tasks since early November maybe when the GPU compute tasks were ended. I stopped the other project I was also running - Einstein@Home. Changed the Preferences to be 'Store at least 3 days' of work and at least 1 additional day of work. Reset the project. Still not receiving any tasks. 12/26/2023 5:11:27 PM | Milkyway@home | Resetting project 12/26/2023 5:11:34 PM | Milkyway@home | Master file download succeeded 12/26/2023 5:11:39 PM | Milkyway@home | Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. 12/26/2023 5:11:39 PM | Milkyway@home | Requesting new tasks for CPU 12/26/2023 5:11:40 PM | Milkyway@home | Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks 12/26/2023 5:11:40 PM | Milkyway@home | No tasks sent 12/26/2023 5:11:40 PM | Milkyway@home | Project requested delay of 91 seconds Any ideas? Thanks, Mike |

Some Projects will punish you for what happened but I don't think MilkyWay is one of them, try the No New Tasks, raising the cache size a little bit, then reversing the process again and see if that works for you again. What happens to me at other projects is that if I set my cache size that low I get tasks from project a but no tasks at all from project b or c so I have to go thru that process too. ORRR I just suspend the other Projects which in some cases gives me tasks from the other projects but not always, the no new tasks process work all the time for me. |
