Hi, I've seen multiple WUs have been able to crunch on someone elses 680, however I believe that may have been before it was disabled. I have completed queue, uninstall and upgraded to 7.0.25, and have the factor set at .5 (or.33 when trying to get it to work), I've made a seperate home preference, suspended WCG, and still nothing. Update has been applied, and no matter what, I cannot get more than one to run at a time. I really feel like I am wasting resources (by not being able to crunch more)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Gpu utiliaztion factor not working on 301 app

I believe that the rather odd behavior response to a change in the number of GPU tasks differs in timing from the response to a change in the number of simultaneous CPU jobs.

For CPU jobs, one changes computing preferences on the web page, then initiates an update from boingmgr. The moment the update gets through, the revised number of CPU tasks running takes effect on your host.

For GPU jobs, on the other hand, you set the Einstein preference, but running update is not sufficient. Your system must request new GPU work, the server must grant GPU work, and an new entire work unit must be downloaded to your host before the change takes effect.

This does NOT mean that only the newly downloaded work will run with the requested number simultaneously on the GPU--just that the activation of the change on your host somehow does not take effect until that first downloaded WU is fully received.

This might not be an issue in your case, but will be for others, which is my reason for posting it here.

Hi! Thanks for the report.

Hi!

Thanks for the report. Indeed, something was missing in the config on the server to enable this feature for the new app version. This was just fixed, please let us know if this will work for you after the next work fetch.

Cheers
