Kittyman, it is probably the planned maintenance outage that is happening, so hopefully the kitties can go take a nap in the sun and then come back and munch some more.

And now the work server has been down for over half an hour. Planned maintenance: https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/about_us/viewNewsArticle.do?articleId=706 |

The kitties thank all of you for letting them know about the maintenance.
----------------------------------------Now, if they would just open the kibble chute again and refill the OPNG kibble bowl, the kitties would be even happier! Meow!  |

Hello Everyone. I'm hoping to receive GPU Covid Work Units but I have none. I WAS receiving them about a month or so ago but then they suddenly stopped. I've tried using Local Preferences as well as Web Based and there is no difference. I'm wondering if they don't have enough to give out to people? Thank you for the help.
----------------------------------------Apologies, if anyone is wondering, I'm using a GTX 1070 and it has the latest Nvidia drivers. Also have the latest Boinc Client. Thanks. Edit: Not sure if someone was reading this thread or it was sheer coincidence but I just received a GPU Work Unit. [Edit 2 times, last edit by Jibberish18 at Jun 4, 2021 6:09:10 PM] |

Yeah, that's pretty much it. There is not enough GPU work generated to keep many hungry GPUs busy all the time. The kitties were almost out and they got lucky to get 8 more in the kibble bowl to keep them munching for a little while yet. They will probably run out in a few hours.
----------------------------------------Hope you had some luck and got a few more after that last one. Meow [Edit 1 times, last edit by kittyman at Jun 4, 2021 10:38:53 PM] |

What I have noticed: there is much less GPU work available today, compared to the days before.

There seems to be just enough work coming this way for the last few days, but the kitties' needs are modest, with a single GTX980 munching from the kibble bowl. I can easily see how users with multiple or higher powered GPUs would not be getting nearly enough to keep their rigs busy.
----------------------------------------But the kitties have been satisfied as of late. Meow! |

After the stress test I paused GPU work for a while and just resumed computing those GPU WUs recently. Even after crunching through only ~50 WUs, the writes are still pretty high and the intermittent dumps in the GPU compute utilization combined with the yet unsolved write amount issue have me stumped. Is there any ongoing effort to look into these two open issues. Not only is it an annoyance to run 7-8 WUs concurrently on even a 1660S card to have GPU CUDA compute util stay relatively constant at >= 99% and therefore the need to give up 7-8 CPU threads, but it is consuming my SSD's hardware lifespan unncessarily. 20 TB written for the last 5 weeks for intermittent OPNG support only.
----------------------------------------Surely, there must be technical tricks to tackle that write tsnumami... Thx  AMD Ryzen 3700X @ 4.0 GHz / GTX1660S Intel i5-4278U CPU @ 2.60GHz |
