Is it just me? PPD Way down

[Buckus]

Is it just me? My PPD went from 24K to 400 for some odd reason the last couple days. I checked and my FAH service is still running on all cores. Anybody else have a similar issue?

That doesn't sound normal at all. Which WU's are you running? What is your TPF? Can you check CPU usage?

Definitely seems like you are not getting bonus points for the WU. What is the WU number ( including Run Clone Gen ) and TPF?

That's the other weird issue...it's only seems to be returning one WU a day.

CPU usage is still at 100% (all cores), so there's no issues there. I would have to look at the log to get the TPF and which types of WU's I'm running. I'll check those when I get home.

Sounds like you got some uni units..... Definitely reportbbackwwith the unit numbers

I restarted the service and here's what my log looks like:

6994... you're getting the right units.

Double check your passkey? Did you recently fail a bunch of units or something? Need 80% completion to be eligible for bonus points.

Not only that but you've gone from doing 5-7 units a day down to 1. Tell us what kind of TPFs you're getting... maybe you're not even making deadlines for bonus points.

Does it download and send WUs pretty quickly one after another? Or does it seem to be taking longer than normal?

Definitely would keep an eye on tpf. Assuming your 24k average number is right, and applying that to a 6994 unit, you should be getting 2min 45sec per 1% done of that unit. You'd have to be getting over 39min frame times in order to not get bonus points on that unit.

 

[Buckus]

Hmm...I stopped and restarted it. I'll check it again tomorrow.

 

[Buckus]

Rebooted and it seems to be doing fine now. 2-3 minutes per frame.

 

[Buckus]

It's back to normal. I think my computer rebooted into some sort of almost-safe-mode but not-quite-safe-mode, so I couldn't tell that the optimizations had been turned off.
