I have the same issue. I am running an Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 (if a 32bit SMP client appears then id run that, but for now its UniProc and GPU).

I've got around this by launching a few windows UniProc clients via wine, for those that are technically minded enough to follow this route. There seems to be available windows workunits, so i'll do this until more of them circulate into the pool for the linux clients.

I'm running a single-processor fah6 on Linux - I have a 4-processor system, but am using 3 of them on my own compute-bound jobs.

My WU finished this morning, and then failed to get work 15 times. I killed it, did fah -6 to configure it, selected "big" instead of "normal" WU's, and under advanced said "yes" to the -advmethods flag.

The new more permissive settings still aren't getting me a work unit:

Is the system just out of work, or is there a problem with the protocol, or what?

The -advmethods flag is having no effect wither

Not much here for windows as well. Getting sporadic units all day, nothing for the past 4 hours and the numbers of idle computers is gradually increasing. Just can't be bothered experimenting with flags any more.

My core2duo Mac is sitting without being able to get work, now since Friday 3/5.

I am running the SMP client.

Is the project out of work?


I am getting the same entries in my log file.
