Is there any plans to release smaller WUs? I tried to run the standard WU and after 11 mins the WU was only barely got any work done. Based on percent the done, the WU would take 4 days to finish. I don't mind leaving the machine one 24/7, but WUs shouldn't take more then 1 day. POEM@HOME is related to medical projects and slowly preparing to use GPUs, but not expected to be ready until some future version of BOINC past the 6.12.* series provides more support for OpenCL GPU workunits. So far, the closest BOINC project I've found, and I've looked at most of the BOINC projects related to medical research. Folding@Home is a med project using GPUs, but not a BOINC project. |

Thanks I have switched to the Einstein@Home. I'm currently using the TThrottle program to limit GPU use on my laptop, so you might want to check if it's suitable for you: http://efmer.eu/boinc/ |

More on TThrottle: I've found that it prefers slowing down the CPU to slowing down the GPU, even if I set a higher temperature limit for the CPU. Therefore, not the best candidate. I've read of Rivatuner, described as slowing down the clocks on the GPU, which may be closer to what you want - except that the time BOINC doesn't use isn't available for anything else. http://www.guru3d.com/index.php?page=rivatuner Described as rather hard to use. |

I suggest to use MSI Afterburner. It's easy to use, and - despite its name - works with every manufacturer's cards. It's also available from Guru3D, the latest one is 2.2 beta 5. |
