Hehe, so few GPU WU's, that I can't even keep my GTX660M fed. It takes a couple of hours to crunch these "new" GPU WU's, but that isn't enough to get new ones while crunching. I even run CPU tasks on the same computer, so there isn't any long back-offs in between requests either. Why spend time and money developing a GPU app, when it's not used much at all? Ah well, I save electricity at least. "running OpenPandemics at a higher speed will cause the research team to focus the majority of their time and energy on preparing input data sets and archiving returned data rather than performing analysis of the results and moving the interesting results to the next step in the pipeline. As a result, the project will remain at its current speed for the foreseeable future." -https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg...ead,43504_offset,0#659962 ![]() |

the fact that we eat the tasks up as fast as they make them is a good thing.
it means the bottleneck is not the hard part. as far as science is concerned, this is ideal. |

I think if the GPUs are capable to handle the throughput needed for this project, then the CPU time shouldn't be wasted for this project and the CPUs should be allocated to projects that are CPU only.

I think if the GPUs are capable to handle the throughput needed for this project, then the CPU time shouldn't be wasted for this project and the CPUs should be allocated to projects that are CPU only. As long as they leave OPN1 open to ARM systems like the Raspberry Pi until such time as they get round to re-doing an MCM version for the Pi (as there was in the last Beta.)... I for one don't want to have to run an extra layer of software (Android) on a Pi for the dubious privilege of having the work take even longer to run... ![]() Cheers - Al. |

It's a shame that you cannot choose to have GPU only for this project & receive MCM to keep your CPU busy, under the same location. At least this is possible I am unaware how without changing to a different preference

At least this is possible I am unaware how without changing to a different preference My settings previously had only OP for available projects, but after adding MCM, almost all the CPU WUs sent now are for MCM. GPU work is still few and far between, which is find with me since Folding@Home almost always has hundreds of thousands of WUs waiting to prevent idling. |

GPU work is still few and far between, which is find with me since Folding@Home almost always has hundreds of thousands of WUs waiting to prevent idling. Thanks for the tip. Currently it is giving me too many CPU units for my liking. Will try again in the future ![]() |
