All of my machines can only manage to download one task per machine beginning today. Is this by design, or is something amiss? Really hate having a GPU sit idle between the time one WU finishes and the next can be downloaded and started.

Yes here as well, but at least it has stopped the tasks running in priority mode because the deadline is so short.

Frankly, I don’t fully understand why this is happening. The scheduler is set to 1 * NGPUs and it seems to be doing exactly that for several clients. Perhaps we just increase this value as a workaround, but in theory there shouldn’t be an issue as it is.

All of my machines went back to getting 8 WU's at a time as of a short time ago. Thanks!

Good stuff, I'm going to lock this thread for now, because on review the value was actually set at 8* (nGPU + nCPU) which shouldn't only dish out one task.
If this behaviour continues, please start a new thread. Thanks
