For about a week I'm not getting new work from Rosetta@home. I tried resetting several times... no effect

The only thing I can find in the reports is:

Not requesting tasks: don't need (CPU: job cache full; NVIDIA GPU: job cache full)

What does that mean? I suspect Rosetta has no work to distribute... but I'm not sure.

Maybe anyone can help

Thank you

It means you've got as much work as you can handle, so it's not sending out any more. Seti is down at present so i can't see what you have there, but if your cache is full of Seti work, then there isn't any room for Rosetta work. Once you clear out some of that Seti work, then you'll be able to get some Rosetta work.
Rosetta has short deadlines- 4 days. So depending on how much Seti work you have, how much time your system is powered up for each day, how much time when it is powered up it can actually process work, what your Resource share settings are etc you may not get any Rosetta work until almost all of your Seti work has been completed & reported.

There has been a steady supply of work for several days now.

Hi,

thank you for your quick reply. I'm currently running Einstein@Home as additional project, the last SETI workunits are done.
Load balancing between Seti and Einstein worked fine and when I recently joined Rosetta all 3 projects were working. Now it seems
that Einstein is consuming all resources. I thought BOINC is doing an automatic load balancing 50/50 for 2 projects. Is there a possibility
to manually assign resources to the projects?

Regards

Frank

There is no indication of Einstein on your computer. Just Seti & Rosetta.
Although Einstein does have a reputation for having a tendency to load systems up.

You can change the Resource share settings, but even so- until the exiting work the system has is reduced you won't be able to get any new Rosetta work for it.

Hi,

after finishing 2 big Einstein work packages BOINC also started downloading work packages from Rosetta again which are now running.
So everything's fine again.
Thanks for your replies.

Regards
