I note that we seem to be getting OPNG April 2021 retreads (as noted elsewhere). I'm curious as to why this is happening; information from WCG would be welcomed :-)...
Cheers - Al. |

This has been the situation on all three of my Raspberry Pies for several days now:

Brummig,
----------------------------------------There are no, or very few, OPN1 tasks left because the OPN team is focussing on GPU tasks (OPNG). See: Thread: April OPN project update So if your Rasberry Pis are running Linux, there will be no, or very little, work for them. You could perhaps try running Android on them. My ARM-based SBC is running MCM and SCC tasks on Android. Cheers, Mark [Edit 1 times, last edit by MJH333 at May 9, 2023 10:38:40 AM] |

Thanks, Mark. The Pies have switched themselves to other projects, so I'll leave them to it.

In the category 'Difficult acronyms'
 … SBC I understand that SBC = Single Board Computer.  (The forum mentioned SBC = Seychelles Broadcasting Corporation, back in 2005 (explained in 2006)  .)BTW, I've received 47 OPN1-tasks yesterday  :OPN1_0129513_01476_0 OPN1_0129513_01501_1 OPN1_0129527_00128_0 OPN1_0129527_01901_0 OPN1_0129527_01976_0 |

Adri,
'Difficult acronyms' I must stop using TLAs ... sorry, "three letter acronyms". I've received 47 OPN1-tasks yesterday This must be from the remaining workunits mentioned in Thread: May 2023 workunit update I'm surprised there are still some left. Cheers, Mark |

So if your Rasberry Pis are running Linux, there will be no, or very little, work for them. Well, that's not an option if your RPi is actually serving a RL purpose... You could perhaps try running Android on them. My ARM-based SBC is running MCM and SCC tasks on Android. Ralf  |

I wonder if this is the end for opn bages. It's difficult to get a few year's runtime from GPU tasks.
Maybe they could start looking into parallel badges based on points or results. I know it's a bit silly, but people like chasing badges, and it gives a little bit of incentive to keep going. |

True, but - like I always say in these types of cases - it is what it is.Maybe they could start looking into parallel badges based on points or results. I know it's a bit silly, but people like chasing badges, and it gives a little bit of incentive to keep going. It's silly indeed (sorry ), 'cause the numbers of points and results are already an incentive.  Adri |
