Hello,
Since 25 august about 07:40 unable to get WU.
And very strange in log file :

26/08/2018 08:37:45 | yoyo@home | (reached per-CPU limit of 2 tasks)
What is the latest line ?
It appers after server outage of yesterday PM
The same on all my hosts (all i7-2600k (8cores) and one i73820 (8cores).
All hosts run 8 WU at the same times (together) without any problems
Two days ago, I received 16 then 64 WU.
Now, no any !!!
What happens ??? Is it a new limitation from project ???
Considering SETIBZH and Formlula BOINC, if we are no able to get more than 2 task, why to run ?
Best regards from Belgium.
Unable to get WU
Re: Unable to get WU
Yes, I limited the number of tasks a host can have in progress to 2 per core to keep the server stable.
Which hostID is it? How many cores and how many tasks are on your host?

Re: Unable to get WU
Hello, all my hosts are visible !
The 3 host below are all with CPU : I7-2600K, 3.8Ghz - 1 physical CPU / 8 cores / 8Gb RAM
All need a little less than 3 hours to run (all perfect cuboid).
Host 428425 8WU running (need 1hour to completion) and 8WU waiting to run
host426043 8WU running (will finish in about 30 minuts) 16WU waiting to run
host 427975 : 8WU running (will finish in 1 hour) and 6WU waiting !!!!
Then host (I7-3820K - 1 CPU / 8 cores) 8WU running ( 4 will finish in less than 1 hour - 4 will finish in 2 hours) - Waitings WU :62 (got one day ago)
I understand the limit (also to limit to much WU not returned in time,
but then it will say we can get a cache of maximum 3 hours (in my case).
It will say host need to be always connected !
What when outage or server problems ?
Then can you explain this host : 365004 , 1CPU/4 cores single thread who have about six hundred WU in cache since 05 august and no any crunched !!!
Or un E8400 dual core mono thread with 93 WU in cache since 15 august and no any crunched WU !!! !!!

Re: Unable to get WU
Normally it isn't a problem to get more work.
yoyo just shortened the number of available work-units per core because of the formula boinc sprint to keep the server save.
You should have expected server problems rather before yoyo did this.
If you want to have more work for your machines I suggest you take on work from another project or fake more cores.

Re: Unable to get WU
As gemini explained this is a meassurement to keep the server save. I don't want that people buffer thousands of workunits and send them to the server shortly before the end of the race. therefore I limited the number of workunits in progress to 2 per core.
That you see no finished workunits on other hosts is, because I delte workunits very fast after they are validated.
With the 2 workunits per core, you always have some spare workunits if one finishes.
Where is the problem?
Flushing big buffers might lead to server outages, therefore the number is limited. You can always get new ones.
In such race it is most important to keep the server save.
