Or at least I don't think so, I have "If my computer can process work on my graphics card, then please send me work to run on my graphics card for the projects that I have selected above." selected but I only apper to be doing CPU units.
----------------------------------------I have it set so that Boinc can use 4 CPU cores (I have 5930k CPU) and thats all thats crunching, GPU is idling. Also I cant see how I can tell if I have done any recently? If I look under results status I can see the work I have done but there is no indication if its a CPU or GPU unit? Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?  |

Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? The only thing you are doing wrong is assuming that there are WCG GPU workunits to be had. In fact, there are none. |

Ahh right fair enough, is there a page I can go to in order to see what units are currently available?
----------------------------------------In the mean time ill run something else on my GPU and wait for units to drop. Thanks |

On the System Requirements page: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/help/viewTopic.do?shortName=minimumreq
Note that there is no project carrying footnote 4 concerning GPUs. A little obscure perhaps. |

Thought admin had cleaned up the system requirement pages, but apparently not. Seeing projects listed that were completed quite some time ago. Latest OET1 and UGM1 are not included yet. Those with footnote 4 (have/had) GPGPU work.

Ok thanks guys, are GPU units planned to come back at all? is this just a temporary shortage?

@ platinumjsi
----------------------------------------Porting a project to make it GPU capable represents a major investment of time and resources on the part of the project scientists so it is not a decision to be made lightly. In general we wont'' know anything until the first BETA WUs show up but there have been indications that MCM1 is heading that way: Keith Uplinger posted Nov 9, 2013 GPU is not supported on this project. We are still VERY early in the game to see if this code will work well ported to use the GPU. If you are looking for a time table as to when this would go to GPU if possible, I do not know. In May 2014 on the Project website update 10. Technical updates: We have completed the initial design meetings for porting the MCM code to GPU s. Nothing since then so no indications of time scale. |

Look at post by halw and his CV. He expressed interest in porting OET

On the System Requirements page: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/help/viewTopic.do?shortName=minimumreq Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We have revised footnote 4 to note that there are no GPU projects currently running.Note that there is no project carrying footnote 4 concerning GPUs. A little obscure perhaps. Thanks, ErikaT |
