Focusing on World Community Grid

I have a 2 day buffer but I'm backed up in sending completed tasks. I just found the problem when I checked Boincstats.

Excellent!
Here is something I decided to sign up for:

Looks nice right?
I passed 1 month of runtime trying to get to 1 year.

Slowly phasing my machines off WCG and back on to SIMAP. Dropped out of the TeAm top 10 in SIMAP, but did make it into the TeAm top 20 in WCG.
Also running my video cards 24/7 kills my electric bill.

Holy cow! 976 GFlops?! Now that's some serious crunching :thumbups:

I assume you mean me, and not Phil. Recently broke the 1 Teraflop barrier. :biggrin:

I got one now woot!

This is dumb, but how do I get sig? I clicked through the link and clicked on the "get my sig" link as well but I guess I am too slow to figure this stuff out...

You'll need to post in Snurk's thread on the WCG forums as request one. I provided an account number but I'm not sure if you need to.

[StitchExperimen]

go to this page

https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread_thread,29840_lastpage,yes#lastpost

then type something like this:
"Could I please have a signature too?
Account Number: 800411" or whatever your number is.
And that should do it.
Look back and in a few days you'll have your link

I just discovered WCG got a GPU app for Linux at some point. It makes my desktop slower than most GPU apps, and it takes a whole CPU core, but it's working.

It makes my desktop slower than most GPU apps

In Win7 it didn't make my desktop slower until I set three GPU WUs going at the same time on a GTX560 Ti 448 core.

I'm thinking of trying four at same time. Does anyone know if I have to keep one CPU per WU and if not how do I set app_config.xlm use 0.5 CPU per WU?

Use something like this:

<app_config>
    <app>
        <name>hcc1</name>
        <max_concurrent>4</max_concurrent>
        <gpu_versions>
            <gpu_usage>.25</gpu_usage>
            <cpu_usage>0.5</cpu_usage>
        </gpu_versions>
    </app>
</app_config>

m&m from techpowerup wrote a handy utility for creating app_config.xml

Thanks for the info, guys! I think I am getting how it works now.

I have four GPU WUs going now ... no errors yet. I tried 0.5 CPU per each for the four but it didn't work as well as one for one is working.

I've been crunching away the last few months on WCG/HCC, on my LLano @ 3.0Ghz, 8GB RAM. Set up to do GPU WUs on the IGP (of which it does fairly well), as well as my three other CPU cores doing regular WCG CPU WUs. (One CPU core dedicated to HCC GPU WUs.)
