Well, I sure don't know what happens, but in the last couple of minutes, I received 50 more tasks for my GTX980/iGPU HD4600 computer. In all today for that computer 177 WU's, and they just keep rolling in. Edit: The scheduler must love old and outdated GPU's  *LOL* A bunch rolled in on my system less than half an hour ago on my GTX 960 box.  No IGPU here, though, and the only IGPU that I have which is able to run OPNG is in a laptop that I very much don't want to use for crunching, since it would throttle heavily. |

Good evening, I made a mistake on my update of a config file and it caused a bunch of work to be loaded onto the grid. I'm in clean up mode of that issue. It did send a bunch of results out and I'm happy that people got lots, but this was a mistake on my end and I'll make sure the work is distributed evenly going forward. Thanks for your understanding, -Uplinger Well, I'm sure we can live with that mistake, Uplinger  Thanks for telling us though, that this is not the WU flood we can expect going forward. |

Ok, I think I have everything back to normal now...I accidentally changed the number loaded to 200000 work units, this was meant to just be changed to 2000. This reflects the number of average work units in a batch so that we can maintain the 200 batches per day for OPNG. Again, I apologize for the confusion this may have caused...
Thanks, -Uplinger |

I was just thinking after getting the WUs....if this was April 1st, I wouldn't believe it! |

Thanks, -Uplinger No worries! The kitties forgive you for sure. They were starting to worry that my GPU had broken because it wasn't doing anything. (I don't think the kitties would mind if you duplicated this mistake once a day....LOL.)  |

Thanks, -Uplinger How long do you think until more batches per day are released? Or larger batches. Whatever gets us to the point of having the GPUs consistently busy. Is the limiting factor the server load? How did the server fare during this mistake? Or is the limiting factor just an effort to keep CPU work available for CPU users? If that’s the case, I have to wonder why you’d intentionally delay the science results just to placate slower devices.

Thanks, -Uplinger Well people here are more worried about not getting any. So, a happy mistake! |

Since this impromptu stress-test has occurred- and the world didn't end- would it make any sense just to leave the configuration parameter at the higher value, and unleash the grid to do what it does best? Who would complain if project progress surged ahead?
