We are starting a new large-scale experiment. There will be plenty of workunits, whose very first batch is currently being sent. Run times should be around 6h but with a lot of variability. They are very heterogeneous so please don't worry for failures.

Thanks! -Toni

These are running just fine on both Windows and Linux so far. I haven't seen any run times near six hours yet. I also see that the Linux app is loading the GPU much higher than the Windows app is, about double.

Almost 20 tasks validated so far, but I have also had two WUs end in an error after a few seconds, on two different hosts so far:

<core_client_version>7.9.3</core_client_version>

Also, while my Linux machines get a GPU core load of 90-100%, the Windows ones aren't doing so great (one thread is set aside for each task in the client and swan_sync is on). Sub-90, sometimes around 80 and the worst I've seen is an RTX 2080 at 70% max.

Cool, got all 3 Linux NV cards happily crunching away at about 95% gpu usage.

I'm glad to process Science again! (please, note capital letter for this)
Thank so much to all GPUGrid's Team (please, see above)

What is the object of the research?

Toni, Glad to get the work.
Is there any plan to upgrade your server or internet speed???

Yes, can we have a bit more info on what we crunch?

Thanks!

Sylvain

Trying to get some tasks and so far no luck. Am I doing it wrong?

Do you have acemd3 application selected in your project preferences?

Out of work already! LOL

Is the policy still to reduce credits on work not uploaded within 24hrs of issue?

+ 1

I think it was just the warm-up. Every batch of Toni queued yesterday consisted only a single step, it's no wonder that they didn't last longer.

Yes. But it's actually a +50% bonus for less than 24h, or +25% for less than 48h.

Thank you. Great job on the new WU incidentally.

As they are much shorter, could I ask that you please allow download of more than 2 WU per GPU

I believe the limit is 16 per host. That is what I got on my 3 hosts. After that I received the "you have reached the limit of tasks in progress message"

Thank you. Perhaps I'll see that once WU become freely available :-)

I guess what was meant in the first above cited posting was to increase the limit of tasks per GPU that can be downloaded at a time.
So far, this figure was (and still seems to be) 2.

When talking about 16 tasks per host (in the second of the above postings), I guess this was the total number of tasks that were downloaded NOT at a time, but within a certain time frame yesterday, provided a given GPU was fast enough.
My various hosts got only up to about 10 tasks each, and that was it. No more downloads since late night.
