it is that project i join, but this was not about why i left WCG.
----------------------------------------as last user point out to few work unit, and imo WCG has project issue , and i will like to repeate i have nothing agaienst TB they should just be a sub project so people know they dont have enough WU to anyone its simple a matter of move them down under the webpage as minor project even on same page, any webpage editor can do same within 2 minute, my point is if you cant feed the world with work, then you cant be seen as same as the other Main Project. ( and there is nothing wrong with minor project, other then you just told all user we have work then we are ready to release it. ) seen Covid-19 was release i have done more work for them then african rain issue and also almost same as TB ½ mill point, so it clear to me ( what is the english word not a round robin hood, they are not the same, and should not be treated as such. ) ps. dont forget i thought there was a bug with it and waste time on it because of NO WU i bet im not the only one, that look at this that could be avoid with a other section under the all in one project view. with a Work Unit then avalable , then most will have accept with approval and why project is now move to downunder.

I don't remember seeing where WCG guaranteed a minimum number of WUs per member. There is no such thing as sub-project. There is no such thing as a minor project. Projects are active (sending work) or paused or completed (not sending work). If a member selects a project and feels like the member "wasted time" on that project, I would postulate that is a member issue not a project issue. The member actively made the choice of projects and can always change that selection should it not work to their desired level of activity. If I were a researcher, I wouldn't feel any obligation to provide enough work to keep every members machine busy. I would submit a level of work that benefits my research and my ability to analyze the returned data. There are many projects in the BOINC ecosystem that don't have enough work for ALL members at ALL times at least at WCG you have a choice of projects and can get work from something at ALL times.
Having said all that, With only doing 700 WUs per day, maybe TB shouldn't be on the grid. It seems it would be possible to do that level in the lab on local machines. |

But, there are 'intermittent' projects, which would be an excellent label for HSTb.

It is not really intermittent since there is more or less everyday WUs available, but only (too) few of them.

I'm a volunteer and it isn't intermittent to me. I get work everyday. So far, 4 today.

If you like to mince words but the overarching number of user reports is that they are not getting HSTb work and weeks / months go by. I get them but then it's like in a casino and knowing the stacked deck. Looking at your badges, I''d say you've got a deck stacked in your favor too. 😉

yeah - most people who have enabled the project do not get work - so it would help if the project was clearly labelled about how little WUs there are - outside of the monthly and project updates.
----------------------------------------In the next 1-2 12 hr updates - OPN-COVID will surpass this project in runtime - having already done so with the ARP almost immediately. Those of us active in the forums know better - but the vast majority of WCG users aren't, to my knowledge. |

just to info on split GPU work at folding@Home with 1 cpu core is possible and then WCG can get rest, that is actual possible, but require edit to reduce cpu access on multi cpu as 1 core. sounds like windows spilt the work among many cpu.
this is made to take advantage of Graphic card, that clearly dont use GPU power and same time still support them on CPU Front Only. this is not about client only, this is presentation of it at webside. and we get it. lesser work from some project. even that is not the problem. but then all is same appel and Orange , and look like Multi juice to everyone. then you fail to get it then several of your Project dont feed the masses. i will rather see those project at top MAIN RESEARCH and other under it as we do your work faster then you can give us it. (nothing wrong with that ) but this is not Multi juice , people can have own preference in what they think. and i have notice you still think everyone knows, that is what is called fake project to pretend work is being done and none is made so it look busy. this can bite you own butt then present then as equal then they are not. i dont care if my neighbour have worldbest pc or server room and take all WU and make them within a day , and laugh at me .. good for him. another project done. next. what if TB was my only project or africa rain project. ( you can actual end up with all the project with lesser work, thats my point. we as user have no idea if project's can feeed the masses. ( i dont understand why i have to bend this in neon ) its like you dont will understand it. or as we say in the real world . the cat is out of the bag and half of all project, cant deliver WU then tell us whise of them can. |
