So much for opening the floodgates of GPU WUs to my disappointment I only received 4 workunits. I do not know whether GPUGRID.NET is a victim of its own success, I thought I could use my fast GPU to advance medical research while I am doing my emails and other other tasks.

I am moving on Folding@Home. I trust I will be able to advance in finding a cure for Alzheimer Disease, a disease that killed my loving mom.

I only get 2 at a time, my GPU has been busy all day!

When can we expect a solid number of WUs again? I'm dry here, pour me a drink! ;)

Where are the work units?

I hoped you could tell me ...

If you are looking for GPU WUs, head over to Folding@Home. I am there right now and there is plenty of GPU WUs to keep your GPU busy 24/7.

I also work on the occasional WUs that I get from GPUGRID.NET.

COME ON OVER!

This said, if the host does not meet all criteria (e.g. driver version), it won't get WUs, but there is no explanation why. This is an unfortunate consequence of the BOINC machinery and out of our control.

How to find out if the computer meets requirements? I have a gtx 1660 super and latest drivers, but I can’t get any wu for a month.

Their software is too buggy to waste my time. F@H should come over to BOINC.

Do you have a recent driver with cuda10 and did you check the ACEMD3 box in Prefs?

Yes, cuda version 10.2 and ACEMD3 box picked.

This is true. I had to reinstall the software after it stopped working several time.

That's is highly unlikely, since University of California at Berkeley and Stanford University are arch rivals.

So, there's BOINC and....Stanford doesn't have a dog in this fight. If they ever had to do a major rework of their software, I'd bet they would look closely at BOINC!

Hi

With reference to the gentleman claiming that F@H is too buggy, I have never had to reinstall the Folding@Home s/w. I have two Alienware PCs running fully patched Windows 10 running F@H s/w with no issues.

Apparently I'm not the only one that thinks so and voted with their feet (click Monthly):

@ Gravitonian ===> Are you running more than one GPU project?

If so and you haven't tried this, try giving more priority to GPUGRID by changeing from 100 to 900 on the resource share, the first line of the GPUGRID preferences. This will cause the others to let this project have control of the GPU. When the BOINC server sees that high of a project priority it should download a WU even if the others have filled the cue and run it immediately.

I run Asteroids@Home (3.4% resource share) and Milkyway@Home (1.3% share) to keep my GPUs from thermal cycling and keep 0.3 days of work in each cue. These programs run well and quick on my overclocked gtx750ti and gtx1060.

Hope I helped out.

Tasks ready to send (February 18th 2020 - 19:57 UTC): 73.105

Looking at the server status stat page:
New version of ACEMD 119,657 5,467 0.97 (0.27 - 3.78) 1,622

Average number of task that can be completed per day is 24hrs/0.97 = 24.74 tasks per day per GPU (I assume, some may have more GPUs, some stopped crunching in the last 24hrs but just to get a feel of the task availability).

Since we have 1622 users in the last 24hrs, assuming each user has 1 GPU, then in a day, we can crunch 24.74 x 1622 = 40128 tasks per day.

Current tasks availability is around 3 days (120K), so it seems that we are good unless the new tasks are no longer generated....

Thanks for the calculations.

New tasks are automatically generated 1:1 when existing ones finish, until approx. 10x the current load.

Awesome. I think having at least 3 days of task or more will keep the GPU cards busy and the crunchers happy.
