These sprints are good for learning about project quirks.
Code:
Sun 11 Feb 2024 04:19:47 AM CET | Einstein@Home | Sending scheduler request: To fetch work.
Sun 11 Feb 2024 04:19:47 AM CET | Einstein@Home | Reporting 1 completed tasks
Sun 11 Feb 2024 04:19:47 AM CET | Einstein@Home | Requesting new tasks for NVIDIA GPU
Sun 11 Feb 2024 04:19:49 AM CET | Einstein@Home | Scheduler request completed: got 1 new tasks
Sun 11 Feb 2024 04:19:49 AM CET | Einstein@Home | Project requested delay of 60 seconds
These "report one result, get one task" conversations between client and server were the standard. That is, clients received rarely more than on task. On a fast host, therefore make sure that you have enough clients sharing the hardware, so that each client does not finish more than one task per minute.
And then,
Code:
Sun 11 Feb 2024 04:20:49 AM CET | Einstein@Home | Sending scheduler request: To fetch work.
Sun 11 Feb 2024 04:20:49 AM CET | Einstein@Home | Requesting new tasks for NVIDIA GPU
Sun 11 Feb 2024 04:20:50 AM CET | Einstein@Home | Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks
Sun 11 Feb 2024 04:20:50 AM CET | Einstein@Home | No work sent
Sun 11 Feb 2024 04:20:50 AM CET | Einstein@Home | No work is available for Binary Radio Pulsar Search (MeerKAT)
Sun 11 Feb 2024 04:20:50 AM CET | Einstein@Home | (reached daily quota of 1024 tasks)
Sun 11 Feb 2024 04:20:50 AM CET | Einstein@Home | Project has no jobs available
Sun 11 Feb 2024 04:20:50 AM CET | Einstein@Home | Project requested delay of 74836 seconds
What, 74836 seconds request delay? That's 20h 47m 16s.
(The daily quota of 1024 tasks is not the number of task in progress, it is the maximum number of tasks which the server assigns to a host during a 24h hour period. I do not know which hosts are put under this limit; at least new hosts have it, but not only them.)
In other words, at 4AM the server instructed the host to shut down all scheduler communications, and thus it has been involuntary bunkering results since then, besides not fetching new work. Well, I did not plan to bunker, but Einstein@Home apparently wants me to. ;

As there is a nonzero need for attention to this project, it is good that this sprint started on a weekend = not during the workweek.
