I still receive OPNG-units, at the moment I have 12 of them in my queue. So they are still being distributed. After processing 463 OPNG in last 24 hours I now have only 5 in queue, all are ATI. If you look at their statistics page you can spot a huge jump in points about two week apart which seems to indicate when they release GPU tasks.

The well ran dry for me earlier today, and when the last of the GPU tasks was done, I took the opportunity (and the lack of currently-running ARP units) to upgrade my main cruncher to the current Ubuntu LTS. So far, so good, at least... but I still have a mind to run Debian, set up via Ansible to give me a desktop with exactly my preferences at first login. I've been playing around with VMs and have the beginnings of such a setup.

Greetings,
----------------------------------------Here is the number of OPNG jobs sent out over the past several hours: num_sent num_users num_hosts date_sent hour_sent We load them twice an hour at a random time so it is just random chance whether you get some or not. The demand for GPU tasks remains significantly above our ability to supply them. [Edit 1 times, last edit by knreed at Sep 27, 2021 12:04:54 AM] |

I also have the same question, at some point will GPU tasks supply be substantially increased to meet demand?

If I recall correctly the limiting factor was the ability of the project-researchers to analyze en process the returned work units?
That at least implies there will be no increase in number of work-units, at least not until the project-researchers have enough capacity to process them all in time? At least, that is my interpretation :-) |

Yes, the bottleneck is with the research team. I think it was uplinger who said that they couldn't increase the GPU work otherwise the research team wouldn't do anything else other than sort the data they receive from WCG.

I think it was uplinger who said that they couldn't increase the GPU work otherwise the research team wouldn't do anything else other than sort the data they receive from WCG. It's actually two items: - Identify and acquire data sets to run against - Process and filter the results Both processes involve a high degree of automation but there is also some human involvement as well. |
