Getting the following at two different hosts: 24.06.2025 08:58:40 | Moo! Wrapper | Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. Do others see that as well, or is it even a known issue I could not find any information about? Cheers, ARL |

I see that as well, only my old A8 5600k is getting any work since is taking AMD/ATI GPU WUs while my old system that only runs CPU(s task are getting nothing... I hope that we will get more "regular" WUs soon? I know that running old dual core CPUs is mostly for fun but is going to be sad to lost one of the few projects where running these make any sense. |

Is there any documentation somewhere explaining which clients are eligible for which task type? I'm wondering, because my AMD GPUs also didn't get any tasks, and having three out of four task types only handed out to nvidia GPUs seems a bit particular. I couldn't find anything that helped me understand things in the source repo nor the web site here. |

I know that running old dual core CPUs is mostly for fun but is going to be sad to lost one of the few projects where running these make any sense.An old dual core CPU can still run most of the projects, I was running myself a Core 2 Duo E7300 until a year ago as my main system and there were no real issues on the CPU side, it was crunching mostly either Einstein's FGRP5 or WCG's MCM. Both perfect projects for CPUs of nearly any age, even x86 single cores and with some real scientific value. Just the GTX 275 couldn't run anything else than Moo! in the end when Milkyway Separation ended (it was also able to run PPS sieve on Prime Grid, but the computer became unusable with it, so I have run Moo! instead). Is there any documentation somewhere explaining which clients are eligible for which task type?I don't think there's some real documentation, but IIRC I've read somewhere, that the server tries to send such size of tasks, that they complete within max of an hour or so. Of course it can't send smaller tasks than tiny. ![]() |

Looks like tasks are now handed out to ATI GPUs as well... CPU tasks may be requested in a few hours. I'm curious ;-) No "tiny" ones available, so that aspect can't be the whole story. Cheers, ARL |
