My Power Mac normally crunches four at a time - down to its last two, and my G4 won't get any new tasks.
The pending queue's getting longer as well...oh joy!

I'm having problems getting WUs now! Since I upgraded the CUDA driver coincidently. Also seems to be just doing 3 WUs + GPU instead of 4 WU +GPU. Could be just a case of the new installation needing a couple of days to settle down.

I did the same upgrade on one of my systems and for around 30 minutes had only 3 of the 4 processors running, whilst a WU from GPUGRID was running. The 4th processor eventually kicked back in without my doing anything else.

While on the subject of GPUGRID - the WU ran for 20 hours and said it was only 16% through. With it's reporting deadline only 3 days away it was never going to finish so I killed it. Unfortunately this machine has several days work for WCG that it only picks up 1 SETI at a time - runs it for an hour on the GPU, then won't get another all day!

Problem sorted - for now anyway.
Seems that my having several projects suspended, while taking part in the Christmas projects - has caused problems.

Didactylos on the WCG forum wrote "BOINC thinks you don't need any work. Probably your project debts are wrong after having the others set to "no work" for a long time.

Try resetting the project to reset the debt."

I didn't get chance to reset the project - as downloading new wu's for the other projects, must have sorted out the 'debt' which Didactylos mentioned. An HCC wu followed not long after.

Looks like we'll finish a creditable 19th. No one is going to catch us and we're not going to overtake anyone. So I reckon we may as well run down and let the 'pendings' carry us through to the end.

I've heard tales, some say legend of certain projects which grant more favour than others...yeah ok, credits...

I could go on, but would just irritate myself, never mind you lot!

so, are there some projects more credit generous than others?
if so, any pointers?....

Cheers

Milky Way is a very high credit project, plus there is no "wing man". Initial replication 1, minimum quorum 1.

Expect 40 credits per hours per core (@ 2.4 GHz)

Primegrid is good also on the PSP Seive application. Even better if your pc is x64 capable 1.7x the credit of x86 users

That`s strange, mine`s an E6600. Maybe it`s a platform issue.
My rig is a Windows Vista.
