Hi all,

Let me first say that I'm quite new, so please forgive stupid questions. For the first few days, I would be working on 4 tasks with usually 4-6 waiting, ready to start. But since yesterday, the number of new tasks I get every time the BOINC manager syncs up with the server is just silly. Right now I've got ~120 tasks "ready to start".

Is this behavior normal, or have I made some configuration error? It just seems to me that it will take me an age to work through it all (and every time BOINC connects, I get another 20 or so), so a bunch of people are going to be waiting a very long time for validation.

Thank you!

Hi,

you have a CUDA-card and used it for crunching the ABP-WUs.
So it´s probably the same problem like in this thread http://einsteinathome.org/node/195489

BOINC asks for ABP-WUs but they are all send out and so you get GW-WUs.
