I'm no longer getting any work. Last one was 5th April at 6am UTC. All requests for work state no work available for ARP.

Some are starting to flow through to my machines, some 007_0 and 007_1 though.

Is the time significant? I've got my scheduler set to 16 minutes after the hour?

Distribution of all (scarce) projects was randomised some time ago.

It is totally random. There are lots of posts about strategy but the basic principle is to have half your threads doing arp (long units) and half your threads doing short units (mcm, scc & mip) which are in plentiful supply.
That also takes care of capacity problems with arp & mip. The short units finish regularly, enabling frequent updates which call for more arp units as well. Mike |

Now I've a full cache of ARP tasks in my 3950x rig. Since there is no steady supply of work units on demand unlike SCC/MIP/MCM, might as well underclock the cpu and let it takes its own sweet time. Currently running at 2.8Ghz, Vcore of 0.9V. Power consumption is about 110W off the wall. Because of the unpredictable nature of the work availability, might as well aim for the run time
