your link is in reference to submitting results (which can be done on ANY interval), not requesting work (which the interval is limited by the project). apples to oranges. But which are the apples, which are the oranges?Actually, the 'request work' query is much more server intensive (when there's work available) than reporting completed work. It involves checking your preferences for what you want to run, finding the best app version consistent with those, looking through the tasks in the feeder cache, checking that it isn't prohibited because you can't be your own wingmate, and so on. Reports just update the existing records. not aimed at you directly, Richard: But you also need to tweak it and run it to suit the project's needs - it's their science, after all, and their server. Yes, I'm running the scripts, for now - partly because I've worked out how to run the tasks which cause the iGPUs to fail, and this project has configured those 'normal' server settings to require a matching re-issue.with software as highly configurable as boinc with hundreds of different ways to tweak it and run it to suit your individual needs, trying to say what is "normal use" is HIGHLY subjective. which is apples, and which is oranges, is a bit irrelevant, as they are not the same either way. just pointing out that an oranges rationale doesn't apply to this apples method. making consistent requests in line with project preferences has nothing to do with submitting work to their database at an increased rate. that's not what's happening at all. it's a false equivalency. "it's their science, after all, and their server" quite right. and they've decided that 2 minutes is their limit. if they decide they want requests less often, they are free to set it as such, and I (and everyone else) will be held to that regardless of any client-side configurations. ![]() EPYC 7V12 / [5] RTX A4000 EPYC 7B12 / [5] RTX 3080Ti + [2] RTX 2080Ti EPYC 7B12 / [6] RTX 3070Ti + [2] RTX 3060 [2] EPYC 7642 / [2] RTX 2080Ti |

So, were now in WCG, and back with the old SETI discussions with the same credit hounds and WU hoarders from SETI, with several computers containing 4-5 or more powerful GPU's, in each computer?
---------------------------------------- As per usual SETI behaviour, complaining that they can't get as many WU's as they want..... Incredible...... [Edit 3 times, last edit by Grumpy Swede at Apr 12, 2021 5:46:43 PM] |

I must have missed the rule where people aren't allowed to have multiple GPUs, or put their own money into hobbies they enjoy while helping the project get the results as fast as possible *gasp* ![]() EPYC 7V12 / [5] RTX A4000 EPYC 7B12 / [5] RTX 3080Ti + [2] RTX 2080Ti EPYC 7B12 / [6] RTX 3070Ti + [2] RTX 3060 [2] EPYC 7642 / [2] RTX 2080Ti |

Seems like I'm getting decent amount of gpu tasks by running the script. Doesn't feel like it is 1700 tasks generated every 30 mins for a total of about 81,600 tasks per day or worst case 81,600 x 2 if every task require validation. I don't see high number of pending validation on my hosts, at least for now.
----------------------------------------OP daily project stats shows more than 81,600 tasks on average processed per day since Apr 6th. On the CPU side, historically prior to Apr 6, we have been averaging around 1.014M tasks per day with standard deviation of 0.021M. Since Apr 6, we are averaging 1.156M so a delta of 142k tasks been processed. I'm running only OPNG right now. Perhaps most people who just want to run gpu task also run cpu task which could explain the above observation. Maybe in the future good to split the cpu versus gpu after the gpu tasks run stable for some time. In anyway, let's hope the admin can add more gpu tasks in the very near future. ![]() [Edit 2 times, last edit by pututu at Apr 12, 2021 5:52:39 PM] |

I'll stay though, even if the credit is 0 as it was during the BETA. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Grumpy Swede at Apr 12, 2021 5:53:31 PM] |

lol. and no different than all the WCG-specific signatures showing all their [EDITED] [EDITED]? Really? How many thousands of dollars do you think volunteers like me and others have spent to earn that "[EDITED]" signature or all the other badges volunteers have earned in the BOINC world? Non of this gets done for free but you know that and to disrespect what it takes to earn them is (fill in the blank) *walks away shaking head*

Non of this gets done for free but you know that and to disrespect what it takes to earn them is (fill in the blank) *walks away shaking head* you lack reading comprehension. It's not entirely your fault since these forums don't leave proper redirects for quoted messages. I suggest you go back and read the entire context of the exchange. *hint* I wasn't in any way disrespecting you or anyone else with a signature showing their contributions. I was highlighting the absurdity of one user complaining about a certain type of signature (while ignoring similar others) and trying to extrapolate someones motives from such. ![]() EPYC 7V12 / [5] RTX A4000 EPYC 7B12 / [5] RTX 3080Ti + [2] RTX 2080Ti EPYC 7B12 / [6] RTX 3070Ti + [2] RTX 3060 [2] EPYC 7642 / [2] RTX 2080Ti [Edit 2 times, last edit by caitilarkin at Apr 12, 2021 6:29:56 PM] |

I'll stay though, even if the credit is 0 as it was during the BETA. if it keeps my GPUs busy and operated efficiently, I'll gladly crunch. efficiency is paramount for me. I spend a not insignificant amount of time and money maintaining my hardware for the benefit of these projects. which is why I don't run CPU work for which GPU work exists (wasteful, GPU is much faster and computationally/electrically efficient), and give priority to projects with better optimized applications for my hardware. SETI is and always will be top priority, well optimized applications and the greatest personal interest, but they're done, and likely wont be coming back. GPUGRID is currently the gold standard for my caliber of hardware with well optimized CUDA applications and doing great research, but only provides work intermittently. Einstein's apps are pretty well optimized, but their work/apps gives heavy preference to AMD cards, so I only run them as backup. OP-GPU just released and seems like good research, Since work distribution is slim, I run it as prime#2 with Einstein filling in the gaps. I look forward to better apps optimization and better WU availability ![]() ![]() EPYC 7V12 / [5] RTX A4000 EPYC 7B12 / [5] RTX 3080Ti + [2] RTX 2080Ti EPYC 7B12 / [6] RTX 3070Ti + [2] RTX 3060 [2] EPYC 7642 / [2] RTX 2080Ti [Edit 2 times, last edit by Ian-n-Steve C. at Apr 12, 2021 6:38:35 PM] |

Frank:"WOW, GPU work is really hard to come by on WCG."
----------------------------------------Joe:"Well, how bad is it?" Frank:"It's so bad guys are whipping out their [EDITED]!" Meow.............LOL. ![]() [Edit 1 times, last edit by caitilarkin at Apr 12, 2021 6:30:20 PM] |

What's even more amazing is the fact that the number of points generated per day has doubled.
----------------------------------------I think to recall that an OPN1 WU contains 2 lingands, where as the OPNG WU contains 26 and more. Now there are additional 70,000-80,000 results returned per day... This number multiplied by 13 (26/2) is the amount of results returned before the GPU WUs were launched. This would mean that all GPUs currently working on the OPNG batches, deliver the same amount of computational power all the CPUs together do. ![]() |
