I process with 6 computers on WCG, all projects including GPU. I am not getting GPU work regularly. Is there a way to prioritize the downloading of work to first capture enough GPU tasks to keep the GPU busy, before downloading CPU tasks, so that each is busy 24/7?

WCG is only releasing 2000 WUs every half hour, not enough to keep the thousands of GPUs trying to crunch them busy as is noted in several threads in this forum.

On my system I see very long deferral times for NVIDIA GPU tasks with request deferral interval up to 10 hours. It seems that this delay time is growing all the time.
----------------------------------------Is there anything I can do to mitigate this?
Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS [Linux 5.15.0-47-generic]
CPU: Intel Core i7-9700 @3.00GHz x 8 GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX2060 Rev. A plus a mighty Raspberry PI 4 |

Is there anything I can do to mitigate this? Hi! That's not really a gpu issue. It's just that there is no work available, so the agent backs off. You can mitigate that by running project update manually, either from GUI (select project and click update), or use boinccmd from command line (or schedule a script to do that). |
