If that then just keep trying, you'll get some eventually. Otherwise did you check the "no new tasks" button on the project page in BOINC?

I keeping getting 0 tasks, but if i request again and again i will get some after a while. Are the servers having problems again like they did a month or so ago?

Are the servers having problems again like they did a month or so ago? I'm sure they are. More Gpu's are being added. And some users have added a code to constantly request work. So the server is being hammered. Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected? If it makes sense, DON'T do it. ID: 15867 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Makes sense, i kind of thought there might have been something on the main page if it was wide spread. Admins seem to be good at keeping the community notified so wasn't sure if it was a select few. It seems like tonight it is doing much better though (knock on wood). ID: 15911 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

"We're actually having a problem where our server is a bit overloaded so work can be rather scarce. Right now we're working on a fix to split our project into two separate ones (one specifically for GPU applications and the other for regular CPU applications) which should really cut down our server load so work can flow more smoothly. This should go live in the next week or so." Cheers, John Vickers ID: 22715 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
