Since Jan. 28, my machines receive a lot less tasks than before.
----------------------------------------The number of tasks has been decreasing day by day. Is this coincidence, or does anyone else make the same experience ? Here the figures: date - tasks 2022-01-31 - 139 (0:00 - 12:00 o'clock) 2022-01-30 - 419 2022-01-29 - 510 2022-01-28 - 706 [Edit 1 times, last edit by erich56 at Jan 31, 2022 12:46:26 PM] |

Seems to be harder and harder to get any GPU tasks. I haven't had my GPU cruncher running since Jan 27, and back then it was easy to have a full cache all the time. Now though, when I turned it on again, it's been hours and hours, and still not any GPU tasks.

Guess I stopped crunching on my laptop just in time. Even though I had consistent work, I decided even the 30W it used wasn’t efficient enough for the work being done.

The number of WUs received still decreases from day to day. Will we be at zero soon?

They come and go, and dry spells happen. I'm not going to worry about it, since my CPUs have never stopped crunching.

There is a lot of difference in points per Intel GPU

@SpekAal - for information:
The two tasks you've highlighted have completely different docking targets; OPNG_0150646_00786 is from one of a very large number of batches that were being worked on before the IBM->Krembil transfer, whereas OPNG_0155176_00576 is from a set of batches for a completely different (and more complex) receptor that were given priority when OPNG work was released again... OPNG and OPN1 use different docking algorithms, and the OPNG one can stop early if appropriate (whereas OPN1 just keeps iterating...) A completed OPNG task sends back information about algorithm performance as well as the results, and that can be used by the credit calculation. (OPN1 credit calculation uses the more typical CPU-time based method,) It appears that docking to the newer receptor requires a lot more effort from the GPU and this is reflected in the much higher credit scores. And it's the same for all GPUs, not just Intel ones :-) Cheers - Al. |
