This message suspicious. Why no tasks sen if client requesed ?...
'No tasks sent' at Beta means exactly the same as it does at the main project - at the moment of your request (but not necessarily before or after), there were no tasks in the 100-job feeder cache that were suitable to fulfil your request. You were asking for GPU tasks only - without debug logging, such as [sched_op], I have no way of knowing whether that was an ATI request or a NVIDIA request, MB or AP.
If NV, then it may be relevent that
*every single task* in my Beta/CPU queue at the moment is tagged .vlar: since they come from the 12jl11aa tape, there may be specific scientific reasons why Arecibo was operating in 'static observe' mode that day - was that your suspicion?
Otherwise, if it's merely a renewal of your request that VLAR tasks be issued to NV cards at Beta for testing purposes, then I think you'll have to send that message to Berkeley - I suggest you phrase it as a request, with reasoning, rather than anything that could be mis-interpreted as a demand.
