Only 6.5 hours until the next Sprint is announced! 1500UTC for this one. Lower your current work queues, and prepare to stockpile some tasks. 😉
 
My 1080Ti has not got received a single task yet. I have had problems with other projects too, but as a brief test, I was able to get GPUGrid tasks. So, I decided to try a new driver, it is installing now, and a screen popped up as usual, telling me what components were going to be installed, and what version the older drivers were.

Now that's where it gets interesting............my current drivers were all listed as none. Thank you Microsoft, for your many wonderful manipulations.....err, updates on Windows10.



Hi yodap!!! 🙂



EDIT: The driver reinstall worked, my buffers instantly filled with 144 tasks quota for the day. Wait, for the DAY?

The race has already began! League TWO is running away from League ONE, L2's top 3 teams have more points already than L1's top 6 teams! 🙂 XS, [H], and EVGA are really tearing it up thus far!



GTX1080Ti with 3 tasks is about 22m45s avg, so a bit more ppd there (vs 7m50s for single task), also no idle time waiting for the next task to start, Windows10.
GTX1080 with 2 tasks is 21m30s, 3 tasks is 32m00s, Windows10
GTX1080 with 2 tasks is 23m00s, 3 tasks is 34m30s, Linux.....hmmmmm, much worse than the above system, but perhaps the 700MHz less CPU clock is at play.
Old R9-280X with 2 tasks is 19m40s, 3 tasks is 29m00s, Windows10. Note: Much lower CPU required, vs one thread per task for Nvidia. One thread was needed to run 4 GPU tasks (occasional spikes though).

Long story made short: There is a definite advantage, although small, to running dual tasks per GPU, not real sure about triple tasks though.
 
There was a recent post in the Einstein forum saying that there was a batch of WUs whose teardown stage was so short, that running 2 jobs staggered wasn't worthwhile anymore. Another commenter said that this batch is now gone.

I think Ken may be able to answer that question...

Thanks for the tip.

I'm doing some stroll over TeAmmates' results (Ken's and Crashtech's) which both have 1060 (3GB and 6GB version) in their arsenal and surprisingly, unlike in Folding@Home, my 560 is just around 10-15% slower than theirs. Not bad, considering mine is usually 1-5% slower than 1050 in Folding@Home.

I found one user with one, about 25 minutes, but I have no idea if that is running one task at a time, or multiple tasks.

Yeah, that one looks odd. Both crashtech's and ken's are running in about 19 - 20 minutes per task. Seems linear to iwajabitw's 980.
 
A little birdie tells me someone started bunkering Einstein, as a lucky guess, just a bit early, in preparation for the current sprint. 😀 Fantastic guess! I have no idea for how long this bunker was building, but anything less than 10-12 years means you have an incredible arsenal! And THANK YOU!
 
Einstein@home, the first 12 hours, top ten teams of league 1.
