The large batch has essentially finished. If there are MDAD left, they are probably failing leftovers.

No,3 in fact were original issue -1's from yesterday. Must have been the very last issued. One was a -2 resend from an aborted user. None were from the badly formatted task run. I got lucky.

I was just surprised to see the cache increase after I had seen the RTS count on the SSP go to zero.

At this project, only the _0 are original issue. _1 is already a replacement, unlike projects which use comparison validation.

But I'm glad you got some meat off the bones.

Thanks for correcting me Richard. I forgot about the workunits on this project with quorum of 1.

I figure what we see trickle out for a while will be timed-out tasks that are recycled by Grosso. I'm curious as to how many tasks expire on how many hosts by the end of a run the size of this one.

Friends, don't dismiss the amount of raw computing power that the project we all have just accomplished represents! Even if Grosso isn't always as awesome as its nickname suggests, the DC network it supports is truly awesome in its potential power. That power finds its source in every one of us and our individual support.

And beside that, where else can we accrue BOINC cobblestones this fast? 😉

Hey, look at this little hiatus as "recess", where you get to go find out what the kids in the other classes are crunching. You might get a little case of hardware lust.

Just remember to practice virtual social distancing! 💻🌎🖥🌏🖥🌍💻😎

Looks like I'm participating in that trickle-down, too. Somebody let WU 19993861 slip past it's deadline, so they tossed it back for me.

folding@home has many GPU work units now against Corona Virus. So that would be a good option.

I signed up for folding@home at least a week ago, and then enabled GPU work for them. No GPU work downloaded so far, only CPU work.

Also, so far, I've been unable to log into their forums.

Things seem to be a bit strange on Folding at the moment. I can't get to the forums either, but I have been getting work regularly (both CPU and GPU) for a couple of weeks. But on some cards I don't get any work. It is not a difference in the cards, but some of their servers have more problems than others, due to the recent growing pains. If you try later, you will probably get some.

And make sure you are using their latest release. They have fixed a few bugs recently that could hang up getting work.

EDIT: I think this explains it.

OK, that site offers a more recent version.

I hope that updating it will not disturb work in progress - there doesn't seem to be a way to tell the previous version to finish any work in progress, but not start more.

Robert, I had to adjust the slider to full power to get my GPUs to engage. It will take a while to catch some available work the first time as I recall. Once you have GPU tasks you can run at any speed.
The app is great alongside of BOINC from my recent experience. I can multi-task my GPUs that way. Just remember twice the tasks means half the speed for each task.

Pop Piasa,

Thanks. Than started my first Folding@Home GPU task.

Here we are again in the same situation:
My last received task is named 1nh8A02_348_1-TONI_MDADex2sn-49-50-RND4451_0
That is, we have arrived to the last tasks of current batch.
If repeating similar past behaviors, unsent tasks will start decreasing more quickly until they get exhausted.
With our effort, a new milestone at GPUGrid is likely to be reached...
It's somehow exciting: What will come the next?

What will come the next?

maybe tasks related to Corona?

August is next.

There are so many anti-virals and vaccines under testing now, and probably available in a few months, that any additional computer project would get lost in the noise. I think they are better in focusing on more general subject matter, where they can make a difference in the longer term. The databases or whatever it is that they are establishing look worthwhile to me.

About two days of tasks left to think about it...

True for CPU workunits, but GPU workunits related to medical research are hard to find elsewhere. There appear to be none using BOINC. Folding@home and Quarantine@home have some non-BOINC GPU workunits, though. The ones at Quarantine@home are for Linux only.

The OpenPandemics subproject at World Community Grid is looking into whether the right software is available to allow GPU workunits for them. If so, they may start while they are still working on COVID-19.

All true, but that is not the point. It is not what GPU work the projects can provide, but what we can do for the projects, and hence the science. Even if you handed them a new recipe to test now (there seem to be hundreds waiting in the wings to be tested), they could not do it for several more months. By then at least a first round of anti-virals will be ready, with the vaccines not far behind.

As you know, there has been a huge effort by labs all over the world. Just because it is a GPU project does not guarantee any special status for the results. This video, posted by Jim Slade on WCG, shows the effort underway in the U.S. to test them all, and figure out how to produce them in time.
I don't think we can do more here.
