Keeping my eye on the batch numbers, it looks like they've got sequential computations, with each work unit being calculated 200 times (i.e. 100 and it's validation). The BARNA workunits I've been getting are in the ~60 range. At this rate we could be 'running on fumes' for a while, with most computers getting a Work Unit, most of the time.

If my experience is representative, only BARNA work units are left. I've been getting 4 types of long GPU WUs yesterday and today, but BARNA are the most common.

Ouch! In this case my shiny new GTX970 may run dry.. and I'm already away without remote access. MrS Scanning for our furry friends since Jan 2002 ID: 39277 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Just let it go, and if the GPUs gets a vacation, then it probably needed it anyway :) Feel free to join BOINC Alpha (if you haven't already), so you can help us test to make sure we don't miss scenarios such as this.

Unsent work units are running out. I really need to know what to expect because my computers will be left unattended during the break. My advice is to pick another GPU project which is of secondary importance to you, like Asteroids@home, subscribe to it, and then set it to 0 priority. That way, BOINC will only take a work unit if GPUgrid is empty.. Asteroids@home is currently offline, and therefore not a suitable choice. Poem@Home has both CPU and GPU workunits, and is a better choice based on what they do. ID: 39300 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
