OET not selected, but work being sent.

I have started getting credit for OET work units,
even though I have not selected OET.

I have plenty of FA@H work units in cache.
How are the OET work units being sent anyway?

Re: OET not selected, but work being sent.

The reason you are getting the occasional OET1 WU is because you have this selected:

[Selected] If there is no work available for the project(s) I have selected above, please send me work from another project. Please opt me in to new projects as they become available.


If you unselect this you should not get any more OET1.

Cheers

Re: OET not selected, but work being sent.

There have been some incidences the last few days where one or the other prime selection was unavailable, then anything available is send at the moment of fetch request [if that option was selected]. Getting an OET this route is a rarity I'd say, per uplinger next to zero chance, given the major draw on the limited OET work supply, not 5% of total feeder occupation.

P.S. There was talk that the project distribution was going to rebalanced, plus FAHV runtimes being extended [more work]. The drop off of the AutoDock work for FA@H is part of the supply gap at this time.

Re: OET not selected, but work being sent.

Here latest impression of how work is weighing in at this time... MCM is far ahead of all others.

Re: OET not selected, but work being sent.

"at the moment of fetch request"
I thought so. What's already in local cache is not considered.
It maybe should be.

Only send alternate work if local cache is
empty of preferred work. Otherwise,
"no work available" is False, but
alternate work gets sent anyway.

Someone in QA didn't catch this
before shipping the code.

"Only send alternate work if local cache is
empty of preferred work."

Actually that was proposed by undersigned 2 years or longer ago, not to sent alt work until some resource goes idle, and knreed would look at it. It required a "Preferred IP > 0" test or the like. Still all for it, downside, the client keeps asking and asking, so back-offs need to be increased.

There's one snag in the story. If you also crunch elsewhere, the client will go there to fetch work. A full zero back-up project with zero resource/project weight only provides work when, yes, any resource goes idle.smile
