How about my programming of an Olivetti Programma from 1966! A desk computer the size of half a desk which could only hold 132 instructions at a time and you had to feed in a new magnetic card for the next 132 instructions.

100 new units have now arrived - all N-Body(8 CPU). Thank you, I was down to my last 7 Separation units, so only a few minutes with a spare thread.

I have only 15 units left to work on. 145 Ready to report and nearly 3000 validation inconclusive.

Just 6 hours work remaining. 90 to report. I'll shut down when I go to bed.

Problem has now been sorted. A setting had changed.

My i7 with 8 threads has now only got 7 jobs remaining which are all running, so there is one spare thread. However, I have just sent a scheduler request on Milkyway but that has been terminated with the message "Don't need".

What has gone wrong with this project, please?

I haven't received any jobs for this project since I restarted the availability months ago.

All my CPDN are on my i7 along with an assortment of other projects. They could be fouling up that machine, but not my dual core which has a mixture of other projects adding up to about 4.5 days work so inside the minimum of 5 days.

Last time when I stopped trying to force MW, there was less than 2 days left on that machine.

I have set both machines to only take MW and this time I will take the units remaining down below the number of threads for each machine. If they get down to 1 & 7, that should prove that there is a problem. However, since the cache on the dual core is below 5 days per core, I already think that there is a problem.

At one point I set all projects except MW to "No new tasks" and let the jobs run down so there was only CPDN left. However, they are long jobs so after 24 hours like that and doing a few updates which all said 'Don't need' I gave up and set everything back to get tasks and the others all came flooding back.

Thanks for the reply but the project share cannot be the answer.

I only have 10% allocated for MW but I regularly get Cosmology, Seti & LHC which are also on 10% and also Einstein which is only set to 5% and Rosetta on 7.5%.

That could have been the reason some of the time, but it doesn't explain why I am getting all other projects except MW. It is the same on both machines.

I keep getting "don't need" when trying to get WUs for MW despite a very low cache and it never automatically gets any either. All other projects are working fine.

I have an i7 processor and Intel GPU plus 20 GB RAM.

Any ideas why I don't get any downloads?

Apparently, the problem with .43 only relates to GPUs. As I have nVidia 7300 I will stick with .43

I have a 3 0.03 this time but it is still on zero% after 7 hours.

Thanks, Travis.

When is there likely to be a correctly working version, please?

Should I suspend MW until then? It has happened twice now.
