If I am not missing anything, GPUGRID volunteers doubled the number of active hosts in the last month. It may have been either due to the closing of seti@home, or a consequence of folding at home’s covid effort.

Well, now we have plenty of work units. It's very important.

I expected such. Going to be more hosts coming over from Seti@home with the project finishing up. Soon as the project stops sending out work, all my gpus will be doing GPUGrid full time with higher resource shares.

Dave Anderson is a genius. He stopped SETI at just the right time.

I used to have a GTX 1080 dedicated to FAH but there has been limited work there so I moved it to GPUGrid.

Edit: I have pointed some team members here for GPUs and Rosetta for CPUs.

Rosetta has taken off as well

It's certainly linked to that indeed.
We stayed for a very long time in shortage of WU's which had to effect inactivating a lot of hosts statistically speaking.

Without DA none of us would be here. We would fold, maybe :)

The problem with GPUGrid is that it is often short of tasks to process, I hope that the current trend is permanent.

most for sure the corvid19, that's why i'm here.
also the foh gpu client i was running was not really receiving many work units... so i switched away to here.

"cant we all just get along" :)

For me ... and a couple of my teammates from SETI@Home -- Hey guys! :^) ... it's the closure. I picked this project because it's both a worthy and certainly important cause especially these days, and because it has a CUDA 10 Linux client. No point in wasting the GPUs' potential.

You'll doubtless see quite a few more "resetilers" migrating here with our RTX farms in the near future.

As someone who recently rejoined, GPUGRID is the only project issuing sufficient work units for GPUs right now. Everyone else is CPU bound or issuing GPU work units not compatible with my hardware.

I am here because of all the folding@home news on gaming/hardware related websites. I've tried it but it often doesn't have any work for me since everybody is doing it now so I've looked for alternatives.

I really liked the idea of donating my processing power and even thought about it many times before but never came to research the idea for some reason.

I am typically running high-end gaming setup with dual GPU and high-end HEDT CPU that even if I play a lot still sits unused most of the day, and since there isn't really any reliable way for such system to make me any reasonable amount of money, I may just as well donate the processing power to charity.

This is pretty genius way of reaching so many people who otherwise do not donate money for charity for multiple reasons, donating something that you already have in unlimited amount, I am surprised this isn't more common and that I've heard about it only now.

Even from hardware enthusiast standpoint this is fun because you have to optimize your system also for long-term full load operation and energy efficiency rather than only squeezing every last MHz like for gaming and overclocking, and you want to be able to switch between these two settings on the fly depending on what you are about to do, so that has many interesting challenges in it's own.

I'm here because F@H caused me to look at my BOINC processes and I saw I had underutilized GPU resources. It doesn't hurt that SETI is done for now.
