Read the News section, the problems aren't that the data isn't valuable, the problem seems to stem from lack of money to keep the databases running like they want them to be.

Hi, I'm new, and was looking for some sort of current status. That BoincItaly link doesn't work. Any new links, papers, a paragraph summary? This is cool stuff.

Hey All,
I am about to release a new version of nbody. This version has a number of updates that expands functionality. I will make a blog post describing these updates soon.

For Science Matthew, update it for SCIENCE! :(

The plan for the beginning is to start conservatively with 10 work units per bundle. Depending on how the CPU only crunchers handle this (about 5-10 hours of work per bundle) we can then decide to increase it. The current code is written to allow for an arbitrary number of work units to be bundled together so I can change it rather easily.

I actually have a pretty good idea as to why the server isn't sending work units to new GPUs. Turns out my server updating was never updating boinc specific daemons like the scheduler, feeder and a few others.

So, i stopped ALL cpu wus (Rosetta) and ALL gpu wus (Seti)
Same message:

Not requesting tasks: don't need (CPU: ; AMD/ATI GPU: )

I don't copy the exe 1.39 in the folder. Is this the error??
Activate cpu works in my profile?

Try changing 1.36 to 1.39 and let me know if that makes a difference.

hey boboviz,
Not sure what is wrong. Do you have any more information you can share that might help?
