im not getting any new WUs ... is there some quota active still ?

guess it was just a burp in the scheduler of boinc 4.35, the moment the very last WU was done, it also requested new work

FYI:

I Beleive that Markku said in another thread that the limit was raised to 200 per host, but that's probably been removed now that there's almost 200,000 availabe Work units for little over 5,000 participants.

Enjoy the freedom of letting your clients run wild.... :)

Could it be that the LHC team is creating a large buffer of WUs, and then allowing a few more users to sign up?

Seems that way to me ;)

It's not a very large buffer. 200,000 Wus between 5000 users is 40 WUs each. That's probably more like 15 WUs per host, or a couple of days work.

Your math can't be right because I am consistently downloading far more work then that since the glut started and before that when Markku raised the daily limit per host to about 200 I beleive it was.... I have 50 on one box, 35 on one box, 60 on another box and 40 on the last one.

Preferences are set for 7 days worth of work and with the 4.35 dev client, it throttles the work based on what it thinks the CPU can handle.

>>Your math can't be right

My maths is just an average. While you've been getting 50+ units on a host, I've been getting about 3, but then my preference is set for 0.1 days of work, by and large.

Been thinking the same.
Especially since reading Thierry Van Driessche’s post a few days ago
here.
Very exciting!
