You may have noticed the server scheduler has been very fickle of late.

I think part of the problem is related to how WUs have been segregated into batches (1 for normal app and 1 for GPU app). Since the GPU app has been relatively stable and has agreed with the CPU version on every WU tested (over 400), I have decided to remove the batch descriminator (this will open up the DS14x12 WUs to the GPU app).

I now have over 100 GPU WUs. Interestingly enough they are all of the DS14x12 variety (batch 0) and all have a higher priority (due to accelerated retry mechanism). Ironically, I think this points to the root cause of the scheduler problem...

I think this may have fixed the problem, at least for me it has. Please let me know if you still have problems receiving tasks.

Looks good so far.
Thanks Eric

Are there about equal numbers of both cpu and gpu workunits being created or you focusing on gpu workunits right now? I ask because I have some cpu cores that can't get work here right now and if I should be trying the gpu workunits instead.

The same WUs work on both cpu and gpu, so you should be able to get tasks for either.

Thank you, it seems to be working now, your idea in the other thread about reissued workunits, was hopefully the problem.
