Will there be some WUs ready to be send tomorrow?
At the moment they are like corona vaccine - very rare.

Wow, a wonder happened. The Athlon got now 7 additional WUs (for the next 20 days...).

So this means, the project needs a profile to be set for a PC and without a profile only 1 WU per Core is send out?

I think the work generator isn't keeping up with all the hosts requesting tasks? See here.

No, I have 3 PCs running and only 2 of them had the problem over the last 2 weeks, even at the time where the work generator was fine.
And the one PC where I changed the location/profile has now enough work in the buffer.

Then you need to examine your default profile very closely because it is showing non-standard behaviour

I think the problem was the not set priority.
"Nothing" or "--" was interpreted as "0".

The only difference I see in the settings is that one PC is in the SCHOOL profile and the other two have no profile.
I have moved one of the PCs now also to SCHOOL, but no change. SCHOOL and standard settings are identical anyway.

Maybe that its also a limit from client side in conjunction with the project - but I have installed Boinc, added the projects and thats it. I have not limited anywhere the number of cores to be used. And even with 10+10days there is not a single WU in the buffer. 4 WUs for a 4core CPU.

I added TNgrid new on the fresh installation of Ubuntu and Boinc on another PC.
This PC also has the same problem. Only one WU per Core. Even after more than 20 valid WUs crunched.

For me this means, it has nothing to do with the PCs itself, no bad settings somewhere, its just project related.

I have no other projects running for the CPU at the moment that I could suspend.
Einstein is using the GPU. If I suspend Einstein, nothing changes.

I dont want to set any fix limit for CPU cores. Such limits might be the reason for the problems like I have - so I avoid this wherever possible.
The 1700 got some more work now with setting of 10+10 days. But switching back to 1+1 it doesn't request new work again.

The 3950X still has only 1 WU per core even with 10+10 days setting.

If there are no other ideas I will ignore the problem, because other projects run fine and TNgrid also, as long as there are always enough WUs available.

I tried now 10+10 days and on the Ryzen 1700 I got now more WUs: 128 :)

But the 3950X still has only 28 WUs.

the cc_config is quiet short:

The buffer is already set to 1 day. Einstein gets much more work.
The project was added new, no config files.

Tn-grid has limit of 8wu per core, and 512wu per pc, even with a Epyc (64c/128t)
With your 3950x you can reach 32x8= 256 running wu

Hello,
when do I get this 8 WU per Core?
I am running the project since some days now with more then 200 valid WUs but get only 1 WU per Core.
Its the same on 2 different PCs. The project was added completely new for both PCs.

Best Regards
