Interesting: Tasks in progress have risen to 10 this evening.
In coincidence, one of my hosts received WU# 27020952, named

0_0-GERARD_pocket_discovery_56fe7d99_19b6_4687_86d7_bcb3f4e80b33-0-2-RND6221_0

A second host has received the same task at nearly the same time. Perhaps these new tasks are programmed to be double checked by a wingman (?)

However, versions for current Gpugrid applications remain unchanged: Probably we will have to wait a bit more for a major applications upgrade.

Perhaps these new tasks are programmed to be double checked by a wingman (?)

I can answer now my own question (2021-01-20 17:00 UTC).
There are currently "on the air" the following Work Units:
WU# 27020952
WU# 27020953
WU# 27020954
WU# 27020955
WU# 27020956
WU# 27020957
WU# 27020958
WU# 27020959
WU# 27020960
They are not responding to a regular double checking verification, because some tasks have been awarded their credits (129.906,00) before the second paired task is finished.
I think that this is a limited test in the try of getting a credit consistency between different GPU models.

Also, I've found that GPU models assigned with at least one task are: GTX 1660 Ti, GTX1050 Ti, GTX 1050, TESLA K80, GTX 1060 6GB, RTX 2070, GT 710, GTX 660 Ti, GTX 1070, GTX 960, GTX 1650 SUPER, QUADRO M2000M, RTX 2060 SUPER, GTX 1060 3GB
I find this wide range of GPU models compared to the few amount of tasks in progress to be out of statisticals.
I tend to think that there is any intentionality in this aspect...

Hmmm I'm having difficulty with getting WUs 2 weeks no luck

Current test with GERARD WUs seems to keep (slowly) going on. There are currently (2021-01-24 11:30 UTC) 14 Work Units in progress.
The last test Work Unit launched so far is WU# 27020970, on 2021-01-24 05:20 UTC.
This test started on 2021-01-19 19:37 UTC with already mentioned WU# 27020952
If you are interested in examining a particular WU, you can do it by using the following link:
https://www.gpugrid.net/workunit.php?wuid=nnnnnnnn
Where nnnnnnnn is the WU id to be examined.
For example: https://www.gpugrid.net/workunit.php?wuid=27020970

Each WU on current test, is consisting in two different identical tasks, each of them sent to a different host.
If you want to examine each host, for example, to discover what kind of GPU / CPU is processing the task, you can do it by following the following link:
https://www.gpugrid.net/show_host_detail.php?hostid=nnnnnn
Where nnnnnn is the Host id for the computer to be examined.
For example: https://www.gpugrid.net/show_host_detail.php?hostid=569442
This host is the only one of mine that has received one of these current GERARD (test?) tasks so far.

I've noted a small change in credits amount being awarded from WUs #27020952 to #27020961, awarded with 129.906,00 and WU #27020962 and above, awarded with 137.608,50 credits.

The range of GPUs implied on this test keeps being wide.
The fastest GPU so far has been a QUADRO RTX 6000, employing 8175 seconds to process its task.
The slowest GPU has been a GTX 660 Ti, employing 75222 seconds to finish its task.
rod4x4's algorithm might probably make a full listing in a flash (?)

I hope that these tests may lead soon to a regular batch of brand new Work Units.
I keep watching as a hobby, trying to discover any other interesting clues...

There is very little work for GPUGRID hosts at this time. (I can't tell if that is your problem because you hide your computers.) If you check the server status regularly, you will stay well informed. Hopefully I've helped.

Déjà vu
Down to 5 tasks in progress

It's the drought before the deluge! My hole dried up weeks ago! Ooo eerrr missus. Oh, and @d_worms https://www.gpugrid.net/show_user.php?userid=75061, you have no work units because that massive horrendously tasteless and kitch sig' banner is blocking out everything, including sunlight!

So much processor time, just going to waste.

I've noticed that today about midday (UTC), about 600 ADRIA tasks have been thrown to the field.
They are very long tasks.
Previously a few of them were thrown, taking the following times to complete:
- Task #32506879: 62,354.91 seconds on a GTX 1080 Ti GPU
- Task #32506871: 87,786.82 seconds on a RTX 2080 Ti GPU
- Task #32506872: 96,728.16 seconds on a GTX 1070 GPU
- Task #32506875: 169,100.78 seconds on a GTX 1650 GPU
- Task #32506877: 175,478.04 seconds on a GTX 1060 GPU
In proportion to their complexity, these tasks are being rewarded so far as follows:
- Full bonus (when returned before 24H): 523,125.00 credits
- Mid bonus (when returned past 24H but before 48H): 435,937.50 credits
- No bonus (When returned past 48H and before 120H): 348,750.00 credits

Server Status

to my big surprise, I just noticed that one of my machines received such a Adria task.
Unfortunately, it hit one of the two PCs with a GTX750ti inside, so crunching may take forever - the BOINC manager forecasts 7 days :-(

I suspect that the task will miss the deadline (Feb. 14, 13:57 hrs) by several hours, if not even more. So most probably it would make sense to abort it, in order not to waste 5 days of computation time for nothing :-(
Too bad

I suspect that the task will miss the deadline (Feb. 14, 13:57 hrs) by several hours, if not even more. So most probably it would make sense to abort it...

Certainly, it is a risk.
But hitting the deadline is not the only condition to not getting credits for the task.
The other condition is that, once deadline is reached, the resend for the same task be catched by other host, and be reported first than yours.
This leaves a margin of at least ten more hours, in the worst case that it hits a high end GPU.
It is your decision whether bet for 348,750.00 credits or not...

the bad thing is that this task was downloaded by one my two machines with a GTX750ti inside.
Another PC has a GTX970 inside, and yet another one a GTX980ti. Too bad that none of these caught the task :-(

These ADRIA tasks of current batch are extremely long ones.
Even my most powerful GPU, a GTX 1660 Ti, is estimating to take about 26 hours to complete the one it catched, thus missing the full bonus.
That I know, it's the first time to happen...

It can be a good challenge for overclockers to show off!
Has anybody already beaten the 62,354.91 seconds time?

I have a GTX 1660, but of course, I didn't get any of the work. :(
At least it didn't send it to my older computer with the GT 730. That might have taken a while.

Though it does look like more work units are appearing.

~60,000 on my RTX 2070; not really overclocked. power limited to 150W to increase power efficiency. it runs only just slower than stock though since I apply an OC to bring clock speeds back up from what is lost to power limit.

Kevvy's 2080/Super system(s) did them even faster. but I don't know his exact config.
2080S, 55k s: http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=32507109
2080, 48k s: http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=32507309

these tasks don't appear to be standard sized, some harder/longer than others.

Finally, 93,370.97 seconds at my GTX 1660 Ti GPU. That is 25 hours, 56 minutes and 11 seconds.

Task #32506891

Definitely, I hadn't fought tasks like this at Gpugrid before.
At the GPU projects I collabarate, they are only surpassed by "Genefer Extreme" tasks at Primegrid, designed to find the largest known prime number, that take about twice as long to complete at the same graphics card.
