Hi,

I am new to the folding community and was wondering if I should be concered that my machine is not accepting owrk units from these addresses. Is there anything that could be done on my end to rectify?

My CPU is handling WU however my two cuda-based Quadros have not seen any work. Perhaps there isnt any work for them to do?

Thanks.

Welcome to the folding support forum.

I have moved your post as your problem is not with a specific server, the two servers listed are just Assignment Servers and only act to connect your client to Work Servers with work appropriate for your system as configured. Instead it is a configuration issue with your client and is caused by the older GPU's you have. The type of work they would have been assigned to in the past, Core_11 projects, ran out over a year ago. Some pre-Fermi nVidia Quadros can process work from projects using the approaching end of life Core_15, but not all.

To indicate that you want to try and process Core_15 WU's, you will need to add to options to the GPU folding slots. They are max-packet-size set to small and client-type set to beta. That should get ou WU's assigned from the two WS's and the 8 projects that still use Core_15.

Ok I will give that a try.

Thanks!
