It's not good for the GPU to go from hot to cold and back all the time when tasks runs out. That's a sure way to break any electronic device. (Understand now why I call myself Grumpy Swede?)  Mine is kept warm with Milkyway  Ah well, since I have no interest in any other project, I guess "it is what it is". |

I suspect I have an older version of OpenCL. How do I check, please?

is there any possibility to just get these opng tasks from WCG without getting any cpu tasks? would like to run another projekt on the cpu.

Turn off cpu usage in your profile to just get the gpu tasks.

If patterns continue, we will see 81,600 GPU tasks a day, and 1,038,000 CPU tasks a day. Hopefully this improves - what's the purpose of waiting 9 years for a new GPU project & the programming effort so a task runs 500 times faster if the vast majority of batches are still reserved for CPUs? Keep in mind that new projects start out slowly(on purpose). Also - 81,600 GPU work units is actually several times as much work as 1,038,000 CPU work units. CPU work units have 1-3 jobs(ok, some really small jobs have 4 or 5) in one work unit. The GPU units have a range of approximately 30-70.  |

Over 1 hour since getting last WU on 3 PCs, already trouble or am I just unlucky?

How quickly are these work units going?
I've had about 45 minutes with no work units (the log says No tasks are available for OpenPandemics - COVID-19 - GPU) |
