Is/are your computer/s available to receive them? It may be that you are loaded up on your computer with other projects. Many work units are now available., the most I have seen in some time.

There is a deliberate policy in place on this project, which limits work supply to:

* no more than 2 tasks per scheduler request
* 15 minute interval between work requests
* daily quota of 10 tasks/CPU

I think the policy is a good one - it stops the power crunchers hoovering up all the available new work and sitting on it for days on end, and leaves some crumbs available for everyone else.

Yeah, I saw sometnign about that in another thread ... I guess at least I am getting some work and I should be content with that ...

And without restrictions like these the guys with the mega-farms would get all the work ... Shoot in a month or two my wife is going to have me down to only 4 machines ... sigh ... well maybe by then the i7 will be available in dual CPU configuration and that will be a machine to build ... 16 virtual CPUs ... that is something to look forward too ...

Results ready to send 0

The biggest WU batch in recent history has just run out.

http://bluenorthernsoftware.com/scarecrow/lhcstats/lstat.html shows that this batch lasted over 3 days.

I hope that we lots more similar batches in 2009.

Keith.

* no more than 2 tasks per scheduler request

Not true, I have 2 machines that can grab 20-40 at a time and 2 machines that will never go past 4. I have not figured out what causes the difference though.

Interesting. Which machines get the big allocation, and which are restricted? We may be able to work it out.

Edit - 9762403 and 9769638 are the two which currently have a lot of work queued up, but their caches were filled two at a time, at 15 minute intervals, as I originally described.
