No tasks sent or available - really?
Hello, I'm new to World Community Grid but have been running CPU/GPU tasks for other projects on BOINC.
My computer is not being sent any tasks. I have fiddled with settings and done some searching, but cannot find an answer. It's a pretty old computer that I have to run Zwift, but I think it has enough to do useful work, but nothing is being sent. This has been the case for a week or so now.

If you are only asking for OPN1/OPNG work, there is no CPU work any longer and GPU work tends to be available for periods of a month or so with pauses of a month (or longer) with no work...

There is usually plenty of MCM1 work (CPU only)...

Cheers - Al.

Above only shows request for GPU work, none currently.
Check profile has CPU work included.

Re: No tasks sent or available - really?
Allow research work to run on my CPU = Yes

I toggled this off and on (updating project on device each time). No change in tasks running. There are tasks running on CPU from another project - is this crowding out work?

Re: No tasks sent or available - really?
The max memory looks very low, can you up the percentage available to give Boinc more room to breathe?

Re: No tasks sent or available - really?
There isn't all that much memory there - now set to 85% across the board

It could do, when I have a full queue of CPU tasks WCG calls only ask for GPU.

Re: No tasks sent or available - really?
Here is a post with info on the status of all the projects on WCG. This will help you know if it is a site problem or a problem on your end.

Re: No tasks sent or available - really?
If you suspend the other projects running on your computer you should get CPU tasks from WCG as long as CPU tasks are enabled.

If you get some CPU work from WCG after doing the above then you will know its working fine and its most likely a matter of adjusting the resources section of your projects to get the amount of work you want from each project.
