GPUGrid: Too Many Work Units

[FourOh]

Does anyone know a way of limiting the number of GPUGrid WUs the project sends to a host? By default it sends 2 per GPU, but doesn't seem to distinguish between Nvidia and non-Nvidia cards. So, on a rig with one Nvidia and one AMD, I have 4 WUs at all times, making it virtually impossible to achieve the 24 hour bonus, even though the card can process a long run WU in 10-12 hours.

Set your resource share to zero. It will send only one.

Perfect! Thank you!

That was supposed to have been fixed by a recent BOINC clients since it also means that if the nVidia is overworked, it won't pull AMD work from other projects either. If you are running the most recent BOINC version, you might want to report it via the boinc_dev or boinc_alpha email list as still not working.

I don't have exclude_gpu for the AMD GPU in my cc_config... maybe that would help? Although I will still have the problem of getting two WUs at a time - if they are both very long 12+ hour units I still won't get the bonus on the 2nd and subsequent ones. Setting the project's resource share to zero is working; I just take the risk that when I complete a unit the server is unavailable to send another.

Resource share set to zero is how I run it, ever since Zombie taught me that trick. You are right on possibility of server being down, that is the risk, but I prefer the bonus on the work done.
