Hey guys,
Do you know what is going on for CPU tasks for XP machines? I have not gotten any new work in a few days.
My other projects are out of work or not sending work with the exception of Rosetta. I know one of the projects is having some technical issues at the moment that prevents CPU from being sent. But I don't see anything here mentioning such problems.
Is it just GPU work on this project?
No new work being sent for CPU.

No Greg, here there are a two kinds of CPU work units...
- The S6BucketLVE: Is finishing now, but is going to be replaced...
- FGRP2: Shorter work units than S6Bucket, but with around 72Millions of workunits to compute.
And for GPUs, we have:
- BRP4: Now is Finishing, and replaced by new BRP5 Perseus series...12 times Bigger workunits than BRP4...
Yesterday einstein@home, had problems to send GPUs workunits but soon was solved.
And about your problem, is rare because the most problematic component are the GPUs...
You have to check your einstein@home preferences in your account of einstein...
And also check your BOINC manager, in the activity menu in your menu bar of BOINC... and in the tools menu ->computation preferences-> check the CPU use ...
And tell us your event log, in the advanced menu and event log
And check that your computer

And check that your computer is actually requesting work for the CPU from this project. It might have received enough already from the other three projects you are participating in.
It appears to be a scheduler

It appears to be a scheduler thing. One of the other 3 projects finally kicked in a bunch of tasks. It could be there is a "debt" issue because some of the last tasks sent took almost a day to complete in clock time. The other project is down with some technical issues for CPU tasks but sending GPU.
I don't know which other

I don't know which other projects support something similar, but for einstein you can view a web page with the most recent work request detail from a host, given the host number.
As you don't hide your computers, I can offer you this link to see your most recent request to the einstein project.
Greg_BE host request
You only get to see the single most recent one. At the moment I am typing I see a log of your host request dated 2013-06-12 17:45:08, for which the key line reads:
2013-06-12 17:45:08.0622 [PID=12587] [send] CPU: req 0.00 sec, 0.00 instances; est delay 0.00So the BOINC software running on your computer decided it did not want any work from Einstein at that moment.
Just for comparison, one of my hosts had the line in question look like this most recently
