I have set the preference to download more than 1 workunit but its being stubborn and seems to only want to give me 1 at a time. Is it just not available or am I missing something? The extremely low transfer rates and the downtime of GPUGrid makes it frustrating not to have 2-3 work units standing by at all times. Thanks Jim |

GPUGrid limits the number of workunits in progress on a given host at 2 per (NVidia) GPUs. If your host has only 1 workunit, then some setting on your side limits the number of workunits. It could be: - your host is attached to too many projects - GPUGrid resource share is set to 0 - the (BOINC manager/options/) computing preferences "store at least [...] days of work" is set to 0 (or a very low value) |

Thanks for the reply. Answers below. - your host is attached to too many projects ( I am attached to 3 projects including GPUGRID) - GPUGrid resource share is set to 0 (Its set to 100 with the other two set to 0) - the (BOINC manager/options/) computing preferences "store at least [...] days of work" is set to 0 (or a very low value) ( I set it to 10, then 9 and now 5) I also changed use 2 CPU's to 4 CPU's just now. Not sure if it was the CPU's or the reduction in "store atleast" but it instantly downloaded another WU when I updated. Thanks for the help! |
