Re: Work unit availability

It looks like I got 3 OPNG tasks, all valid!

Re: Work unit availability

nanoprobe

Thanks. I will do as you suggest when my 2 arp units reach their next checkpoints.

Re: Work unit availability

That was very strange. When I unticked Open Pandemics in my Device Profile, and selected Smash Childhood Cancer (which I know doesn't have any work), and ticked "If there is no work available for the project(s) I have selected above, please send me work from another project.", then I got one OPNG task. (No to CPU)

If I select Open Pandemics only (No to CPU), the only reply is always:

No tasks are available for OpenPandemics - COVID 19
No tasks are available for OpenPandemics - COVID-19 - GPU

Something is not right......

Re: Work unit availability

Potentially a coincidence...?

Re: Work unit availability

Greetings. Can confirm I've gotten three Nvidia tasks; no AMD tasks. But as others have said, it's early.

Re: Work unit availability

Ramping up to make sure things are running correctly all through the process ?


From what I've read we don't have confirmation that the ratio between the work units is expected to change past today.

Uplinger, I see your reply - your link posts to what you've written about work unit credit and the differences in job size, but it's not explicit why this would result in boundless CPU tasks but less work for GPUs than anticipated.


The pipeline consists of many parts but this is the high level flow.
a. Researchers identify ligands and targets they wish to run
b. Researchers create batches for us in the form of 10,000 ligands against a given target (the target doesn't change much)
c. WCG download these batches
d. WCG builds and loads batches by combining ligands into the same work unit that gets fed to boinc
e. THE VOLUNTEERS DO THE HEAVY LIFTING :) :) :) :)
f. Results are returned to WCG for validation
g. WCG assimilates the results and creates a nice package for the researchers, this can only be done when all results in a batch are complete
h. WCG send result package back to researchers
i. Researchers do post analysis on the results.

In this pipeline there are many parts to consider... storage, bandwidth, cpu, and researchers time. We try to make sure that all of the stages are running as efficiently as possible as to not to cause a backlog at any stage.


This is the part I was trying to link to, hope this helps explain a bit.

Thanks,
-Uplinger

Re: Work unit availability

I think these GPU tasks will become as elusive as the Help Stop TB tasks. smile
With this high demand, and so few as 81600/day, you'll be glad if you get a couple every week. Being able to build a cache will probably not be possible.

But then, on the other hand, spring is just around the corner in this part of the world. smile

Re: Work unit availability

07/04/2021 02:15:37 | | OpenCL: Intel GPU 0: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000 (driver version 10.18.10.4276, device version OpenCL 1.2, 1298MB, 1298MB available, 147 GFLOPS peak)
07/04/2021 02:15:37 | | OpenCL CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz (OpenCL driver vendor: Intel(R) Corporation, driver version 3.0.1.10891, device version OpenCL 1.2 (Build 76427))

The right version of OpenCL but I still haven't got an opng or a beta previously.

I know that units are randomised but......
