1) Message boards : Number crunching : Only requesting one task. (Message 52604) Posted 22 Jan 2012 by Stef42 Post: CPU: 2500k BOINC version: 7.0.2 I've setup milkyway@home to only use the CPU. On the site I checked N-body only, so it's crunching N-body alone. That's because of other projects using GPU + CPU. The problem is, when I first connected to milkyway BOINC downloaded 12 tasks per request (once per minute). These tasks finish in about 5 sec. Estimated runtime according to boinc was around 13min. While each tasks only ran for about 5 seconds, the estimated runtime declined very quickly. When it hit about 20 sec. or so suddenly boinc is getting only 1 new task. So, in 60 seconds it's only doing 5 seconds of actual work. I got everything setup to get work for a additional 2,25 days, with a minimum of 0.25 days (global_prefs_override). Does anyone have experienced this before or can help me solve this issue? I can't use a boinc version below 7.0.2 because of POEM@home. Thanks in advance :)
