Hey guys, sorry I haven't crunched at all for like the past 9 months haha, it was waaay too hot to crunch for the longest time, and last month I was crunching on and off for about a week and my power bill was up from the normal price by $90! I'm still working on getting my school's libraries crunching when they're idle though! I've tried talking to the school board and they said the would not be able to afford the additional power needed which is complete bullshit because they recently spent the two million that was needed upgrade the school on a new office for themselves (old one was perfectly fine, had more than enough room it was just 10 years old). Anyway, I'm contemplating installing it on some of the computers that have been assigned to students.

johnspack · Dec 10, 2012

Is there any way to get the manager to report more often? I notice I'll have unused slots and wus that are at 100% and waiting to be sent all the time. I only run 12 slots, and wanted to add more. My gpus seem like they could handle 1 more wu each.

Peter1986C · Dec 10, 2012

Projects tab --> select wcg --> click on "update".
Multiple GPU WUs: http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=174138

johnspack · Dec 10, 2012

Yeah, found the update thing. It actually has no problem keeping my gpus loaded up with 2 wu per, but my cpu keeps getting stuck on 6 wus. All 8 threads all being loaded on the cpu though, so I'm not sure. I increased allowed cpu usage, would that have anything to do with it?

Peter1986C · Dec 10, 2012

I do not know really. If I use the GPU I limit it to one WU only.

johnspack · Dec 10, 2012

Well the gpus seem to complete wus much faster than the cpu, so I guess I'll see what gives more ppd, gpu wus or cpu wus.

Radical_Edward · Dec 10, 2012

GPU WUs by far give more PPD.

HammerON · Dec 10, 2012

For faster reporting of completed WU's, use Mindweaver's app:
http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=106370

GPU's are running much faster than CPU's. However it is only running one project (HCC) and they keep stating that they are going to run out of WU's in a month or so...
But GPU's (especially AMD's HD 7 series GPU's) are giving users way more PPD than CPU's ever have

johnspack · Dec 10, 2012

Yeah, running really fast on my 260 and 285. I'm only doing HCC right now so seems like I picked a cherry time to do this! Just wish I could get my cpu to do 8 wus, even after I hit report, still stuck on 6. Wonder if I should back down cpu usage, as I'm sure the gpus are pulling some usage from it somehow....

HammerON · Dec 10, 2012

What does your Event Log state?

I also wanted to thank [Ion] for setting me up with the same app file that he is using. Made my life easy with setting up the new crunching rig :toast:

johnspack · Dec 10, 2012

I don't see a listing for event log. And now it's down to 4 cpu wus. Arg. Going to bed now, I'll see if it sorts itself by morning.

You might need to have a larger work buffer. In your computing preferences what does your Network Usage tab look like. Here's mine, I downloaded always 4 days worth of work.

I'm glad to hear that it's working for you :toast:

I'm trying it right now modified to do 4 WUs/card, and if that gives promising results (as I've been told it does) I'll send you the new file :toast:

brandonwh64 · Dec 10, 2012

Ok my PPD was WAY low over the weekend due to some network issues at work but today I got the work PC and my Home PC back up!

Hi Guys, Back to work today. The rest of the family is okay but for sure, moral is a little bit down.

It's going to take a while to heal from such a personal tragedy. Hold each other a little closer from now on.

Let us know if we can help in any way.....

I'm glad you've managed to pull through this--but I'm very sorry that you had to deal with it in the first place.

Good news for anyone who's invested money in GPU's for WCG:

Amount of work to still run on HCC
Based on the researcher's latest estimate, there should be at least 6 months of work still to perform on the Help Conquer Cancer project if we continue at the current rate. This can change if the rate of progress changes or if the scientists acquire more data to process.

http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread_thread,34400_offset,0#404351

I posted on there just to be sure, those 6 months of WU's are for GPU/CPU alike

Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, oh yes

I wonder how they managed to stretch it out from about two months to about six months.

Depending on how things work out over the next month, I think my ITX system could use a Radeon HD78xx or HD79xx :toast:
