and if you are talking about reducing by 1 the task limit for every abort it will do no good.....there is an easy workaround for that...if you set your host to nnw then download and abort while the d/l is in progress it becomes a d/l error and not an abort.....why try to con volute the problem by punishing people for wanting equal credit for equal time? Seems the time you would have admin spending doing all this could be time spent actually solving the problem ;)

I don´t matter about "selecting" WUs, take them as they come along, analyzing my task-list (1) I see a well-balanced mix of WUs, can´t complain about clearing the "rubbish."

Up to now, I think the problem is observed by the admins, the project deserves sympathy and participation, some troubles you can find in any other project.

Perhaps aborting WUs should be faced with reducing the limit of max WUs per day, could be a efficient method to slow down point-chasers.


Would also be an efficient way to stop users with 2 or 3 cards in their host from getting enough work to use all they have....yes that would be a smart move! Especially now with a GTX295 if you have 2 of those you will run out of work with the current 15 per day limit! They need to up the limit not lower it!

If anyone is just buying extra hardware for the sole purpose of doing this just to get a big number and say "I have more credits than you", it might be good idea to look into a more productive hobby.



Errr I don't say anything to anyone about doing more or bragging...its called personal satisfaction...and I never said I didn't crunch for science. I also don't tell my neighbors to find more productive hobbies than bass boats,fast cars,or motorcycles.

Jayargh:

The time/steps don't equalize, and they are aware of this problem. GDF does know that the 1887 credit WU take longer. I do believe that they are going to sort something out and patience would be a prudent course of action.

Pat if you take a look at my hosts(never hidden) you will see no aborts except for the Linux memory leak problem which was fixed. That doesn't mean I won't start aborting.....I bought these cards to crunch and not for gaming and I expect fair payment for work done.......I spent big $ on hardware and spend major $ on juice for credit.Anyone who thinks most users put science before credit is only fooling themselves.

I am just reporting to admin a trend I am seeing that has gotten no attention.... only lip service....changing credits per task type is not a major change and should not take this long and as XaaK says users are taking the situation into their own hands ;)

If you are not going to equalize the credits granted between the various types of work you are giving out for the time it takes to run them....ie: GPUTEST...USPME....and ....US...you will notice a lot of work that is being aborted so that crunchers can pick up only the GPUTESTS which pay the best for the time spent.

I would think it would be in the projects best interests to do something about the disparity of credit granted ASAP

Wine does not work in controlling hardware and neither does running a virtual box...tried both. There is a new update of NVclock 0.8 beta 4 out but I haven't had much success in the install yet.

Has anyone found an OCk utility that works for the newer cards in Linux?

Seems all the utilities I have found do not work and most threads here that describe different utilities are all for Windows.....Thanks in advance

Posted 5588 days ago by Jayargh
At this point why is the project continuing to keep short deadlines,1 task per core, and 24 hour back-offs???????

If they could flood us with work even once while all these problems are going on they would be getting work back while now they get none or very little and we could be happily crunching????

I don't understand the logic of letting us starve while the scheduler/feeder is broken!!!!!
9) Message boards : Graphics cards (GPUs) : No work available? Please install 6.4.2 (Message 4946)
Posted 5592 days ago by Jayargh
I had 6.4.2 running with minor problems, i.e. I had to suspend all CPU projects to make it request new WUs.. but I got them.

Today I got the message "no work sent, cell not available for you" again, whithout any changes on my side. Project reset didn't help, the server has work, setting nrpc=0 didn't help and sending a double request (like Kokomiko suggested) didn't help. Too bad I'm out of house now until tomorrow.

Maybe the problem solved itself until then. Otherwise: any suggestions I should try?

MrS

It sounds like someone changed something on the server or maybe the server process is stuck.
Work doesn't seem to be going out this AM at least to NVidia cards. See this thread:

http://www.gpugrid.net/forum_thread.php?id=594

Now we're up to 978 WUs ready to send on the server status page.


You can never tell anything on the server status due to lumping GPU & PS3 work together.

This project has turned into a nightmare to run the last few weeks....one problem after another ARGHHHHHH!

Paul I think he means 216 shaders vs 190 shaders ....2 different types of GTX260.

I believe the 260-216 is the best bang for the "Buck" atm hehe
