Help Stop TB workunits are hard to get.

Good morining/afternoon/evening,

I have not been able to get HST workunits for quite a while.
Last night, I set my project profile for only HST.
In about 6 hours, I was able to get 9 WU, of which, 5 completed and are now pending validation.

My event logs says:

Sun 31 Jul 2016 06:50:17 AM EDT | World Community Grid | No tasks are available for the applications you have selected. 
Sun 31 Jul 2016 06:50:17 AM EDT | World Community Grid | Tasks are committed to other platforms

I am running Linux, and I wonder what the event message says and implies.

Should I only try to get HST WU at 6:50AM EDT?

I'm stumped.

Thanks, Jay

Re: Help Stop TB workunits are hard to get.

There's an existing thread for this subject, with a relevant tech post explaining the distribution of HST work units. Hint: the 30 minute slots mentioned are 3 and 33 minutes past each hour (caveat: I'm not crunching HST at the moment, so can't check that's still true).

Of course, there might also be a temporary problem with distribution, but you're the only report so far.

Re: Help Stop TB workunits are hard to get.

Still true.

I loaded half a day's worth of Zika then changed to HSTB only (with 3 dy buffer) and hit update (on the half hour) til I had a days worth..

It worked up to 3 days mostly on its own. Hope this helps you a little.

Re: Help Stop TB workunits are hard to get.

Re: Help Stop TB workunits are hard to get.

Thanks for the information on this thread on how to get some HST WUs. I've had HST in the mix of my profile for some time now, but its been weeks since I've seen one WU come up. So now that I've moved to crunching this workload and the Zika WUs, I'll try the setting to 3 days on the work buffer and ask for HST only and see if I can grab some to crunch. I would like to get to a Gold badge sometime this fall if I can, though its looking like I'll get there on the Zika project first at this pace.
