Thank you Jim, but I'm making a recommendation to the WCG team, not seeking technical support. What matters is system throughput, not which unit my particular system is assigned. If I opt out of a OPN CPU task, somebody else will get it. If all GPU friendly batches are reserved for GPUs, we'll complete the other projects much quicker and improve OpenPandemics turnaround time from proposal to result.

The beta's availability is too intermittent to test in practice. That said, as long as "If no work is available for my selections, send me anything" is checked, turning off OpenPandemics should eventually result in a steady supply of efficient work to both processors.

BETA OPN GPU load:


projects/www.worldcommunitygrid.org/wcgrid_beta29_autodockgpu_7.21_windows_x86_64__opencl_ati_102 -jobs OPN1_0020098_00021.job -input OPN1_0020098_00021.zip -seed 267855586 -wcgruns 2821 -wcgdpf 57 jobs

Elapsed time: 38.5 minites

OK with me. That could be a political issue on what hardware they want to support, but I am all in favor of getting it done more quickly too. It appears that the GPUs are more energy-efficient too, which is not the case on all GPU projects. Some are worse.

Haven't received any WUs for almost 3 hours on 3 PCs, maybe there isn't any at the moment?

I have looked at the processing of the beta work units with Task Manager and Process Explorer. The PC is a Ryzen 5 3600 with a GT1030 GPU. The work units are specified as needing 0.634 of a CPU plus 1 Nvidia GPU.
Process Explorer shows that the CPU part of the work unit runs with a Windows priority of 6. A CPU only work unit runs with a priority of 4 and normal windows task with a priority of 8.
The CPU part used 100% of a thread while the GPU percentage jumped between low values and 100%. The work units ran in between 10 and 20 minutes with most taking about 15 minutes.

I also attempted a pseudo restart by setting LAIM off; suspending the work unit allowing another to start; resuming the work unit. They both appeared to complete normally but are still in pending valuation. One odd thing I noticed for the restart on job 61 of 61, is that I suspended the work unit with CPU used of 18min 03sec but results status shows 0.6 hours or 36min . I did not see it running after the restart as it was so quick. The results status file shows it did restart in job 61.
