<sarcasm>Guys, slow down on the GPU stuff. Credits are great and all, but crunching via GPUs may complete the work before I get my blue badge.</sarcasm>
I guess WCG doesn't want to ruin it's Reputation for being stingy with the Credits, seems like I get less & less for the Wu's. Started out with the BETA Wu's getting around 59 Credits, then when the regular Wu's started flowing I was getting about 39 Per Wu, now I see I'm only getting about 29-31 Per Wu. wonder where it'll fall to before it stops, could be something to do with Credit New ???
It gives the same credit per wu as the CPU-version of HCC, meaning it should stabilize around 30 - 35 per wu.Quote:

cant seem to keep the WUs flowing very well either.. they trickle outs in batches of 12 or 13..
My guess I that this is a learning experience for the project. They've never had to feed such volumes of tasks before. I run it along side other GPU projects, so I don't run out of work.
WCG is using fairly low limits on tasks per scheduler-request, task in progress and starting daily quota, but atleast personally I've had no problems getting enough work. But seeing I'm on the low end of the scale with roughly 5 minutes/wu and only one GPU, anyone with multi-GPU and using 1.5 minute/wu is more likely to run into problems.Quote:

Since WCG does various internal tests before releasing an upgraded client it takes much longer time than normal before a new release is out. While many users does run the WCG-version, it's of course possible to run the normal BOINC-client and many users is doing this.
WCG is the 2nd. largest DC-project based on #active users and the largest based on #active computers. SETI@home has more active users but fewer active computers. So while GPU-crunching is new to WCG, handling so many tasks per day isn't really anything new to WCG. While looking on the short-term stats, it seems GPU gave an increase from 600 k/day to 1.1 M/day. But, looking more long-term, start of September the production was around 900 k/day, and going even longer back around April the production peaked at 1.76 M/day. The low output in October is due to the two sub-projects with lowest average run-time/wu was ending, and due to a file-system problem most other wu's was increased in size. The problem with file-system have been fixed and they also added more memory to their servers.
