Post: I do run Milyway and Eienstein as well as other projects and I make my GPU's available to those projects as well.I'm just saying it's more sensible to allocate chips to what they're best at. I have adjusted my system allocation based on your suggestion and will give it a try. Thanks Bill F |

Post: Yes my GPU is slower than your CPU ... but it is faster than my CPU Dell Precision T5600 runningJust saying I've never seen such a slow project on GPU. Asteroids does not seem to be suited to GPU. You should put that GPU onto Einstein or Milkyway. Those run 30+ times faster than a CPU. If you look at the total flops in the applications page here, the CPUs are outdoing the GPUs, that's just absurd. https://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/apps.php I do run Milyway and Eienstein as well as other projects and I make my GPU's available to those projects as well. |

Post: 1647 seconds to do 4, so it churns out one every 412 seconds. My Ryzen 9 3900XT (using fractionally less power) does 24 in an hour, so one every 150 seconds. Your graphics card is slower than my CPU. That's just not right. Every other project, the GPU is way faster, not slower.Bill, how many do you run concurrently on your nvidia card? So I can get an idea of speed.Bill here I believe that my NVIDA GX 1060 runs 4 concurrently and the Run and CPU times are a fraction of the time on my CPU only systems. Yes my GPU is slower than your CPU ... but it is faster than my CPU Dell Precision T5600 running Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5620 @ 2.40GHz [Family 6 Model 44 Stepping 2] (4 processors) You may note that I have worked a couple credits for this project. |

Post: Actually since there are Cuda application tasks this is a GPU project if I am correct?I hadn't noticed them (I only have AMD cards). What's strange is the total Gflops shown for Cuda is much lower than for CPU. Are those tasks rare? Bill here I believe that my NVIDA GX 1060 runs 4 concurrently and the Run and CPU times are a fraction of the time on my CPU only systems. |

Post: This is why we encourage our contributors to upgrade their platform to the latest software platforms and driver packages if possible.What in particular should we make sure is up to date? Since this is not a GPU project, that leaves that complication out. AFAIK there are no drivers to help CPUs behave better. Actually since there are Cuda application tasks this is a GPU project if I am correct ? Bill F |

Post: I asked the admin directly by private message a week ago and no answer... ** Update ** Josef Durech responded with the following .... There is still some problem with sending the units 🙁 It seems the chain of problems is neverending. Best Josef |

Post: I am looking for an update to the status for the Project. When will you be ready to accept completed work units still out in the field from the period prior to system failure ? And when will you resume new operations. Bill F |

Post: Jazzy Gold, Are you referring to "Suspended by user" on your Projects tab on the right side ? Or are you looking at your Tasks tab and seeing "Suspended - computer in use" in the third column ? Bill F Dallas TX |

Post: The situation of the project is really frustrating. I did not get a reply to the above ? What is the process to restrict users who down load more work than they can do on a repetitive basis ? Thanks Bill F |

Post: The situation of the project is really frustrating. Can systems that have large numbers of "timed out tasks" on a repetitive basis be restricted to receiving fewer tasks ? I understand that systems that return high numbers of failed tasks can be restricted. Are these restrictions "Manual" in implementation ? Thanks Bill F |
