The obvious solution, suggested many months ago, is to eliminate the CPU work units. There will still be more than enough GPU power to handle the work. I couldn't agree more that there is enough GPU power to handle work load. I believe where the issue lies is the server capacity as we saw when the stress test was in full swing. Parts of the system couldn't keep up  |

i believe if you eliminate the CPU work units most of the people will work on projects like Mapping Cancer Markers as that is what a lot of people doing now.My solution would be to increase GPU work units higher then it is now but not up to work unit numbers that they were sending out during the stress test.

According to Kevin, there are currently too many GPU work units. To reach the 500 batches/day, they would have to eliminate all CPU work and trim back the GPU work.

GPU work was cut almost in half from 727 batches. Say they are now doing 400 batches per day of GPU work. By eliminating the CPU work they could add at least 100 more batches to GPU work, probably more.

There are no tasks for my RTX 3070.
It seems that there are tasks for toy GPUs. 17-Jun-2021 08:03:29 [World Community Grid] Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. 17-Jun-2021 08:03:29 [World Community Grid] Requesting new tasks for NVIDIA GPU 17-Jun-2021 08:03:31 [World Community Grid] Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks 17-Jun-2021 08:03:31 [World Community Grid] No tasks sent 17-Jun-2021 08:03:31 [World Community Grid] No tasks are available for OpenPandemics - COVID 19 17-Jun-2021 08:03:31 [World Community Grid] No tasks are available for OpenPandemics - COVID-19 - GPU 17-Jun-2021 08:03:31 [World Community Grid] Tasks for CPU are available, but your preferences are set to not accept them 17-Jun-2021 08:03:31 [World Community Grid] Tasks for AMD/ATI GPU are available, but your preferences are set to not accept them 17-Jun-2021 08:03:31 [World Community Grid] Tasks for Intel GPU are available, but your preferences are set to not accept them |

 There are no tasks for my RTX 3070. I do get some for my two RTX3070 - once in a while, just a few ones at a time. They are finished within several minutes, and the waiting period until the next ones come can be hours |

The projects have to work with limited resources, it may or may not get better in the future.
But it's is hobby for me, it's not like I make my living from running WCG. |

But it's is hobby for me, it's not like I make my living from running WCG. That's a healthy attitude. Personally I think I'm spending too much money and time upgrading and babysitting my grid, considering this is only a hobby. Currently running 7 GPUs and three more on the way.. already lost count of CPUs. Well.. you know what they say.. "it's not hobby at all if it doesn't take all your money and time" :-) |
