1) Message boards : News : GPU Issues Mega Thread (Message 65313) Posted 27 Sep 2016 by merle van osdol Post: Can't get enough gpu wu's; very sporadic. Is compute power a problem on the servers. I have excess capacity and am only running at 50%.
2) Message boards : Number crunching : Out Of Work? (Message 65312) Posted 27 Sep 2016 by merle van osdol Post: GPU tasks for MW are very difficult to get. Why can't that cache be filled with new tasks? Is there a problem with lack of compute power on the servers?

7) Message boards : Number crunching : 2 280x's on a x8/x8 MoBo but can't get over 75% util (Message 64467) Posted 10 Apr 2016 by merle van osdol Post: GPU usage about 98%-100% Is your mobo 16 pcie lines or something more than that? Another thing I am running only milky way for cpu and gpu 4 wu at a time.

Yes that's right. Preferably over 90%.

Is my problem that I need at least x16/x8? I've been playing with app_config but it makes no difference how I set it. Come on, one of you high rollers knows the answer to my question. Please.
11) Message boards : Number crunching : running gpu wu's but can't run cpu (Message 64332) Posted 13 Feb 2016 by merle van osdol Post: My app config reads: <app_config> <app> <name>milkyway</name> <max_concurrent>8</max_concurrent> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>0.25</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>0.3</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> </app_config> -------------------------edit--------------------------- What do I need to do to get my cpu to run wu's ?

12) Message boards : Number crunching : I only get a util. of about 30% with 2 280x's -- how to fix??? Help please (Message 64323) Posted 8 Feb 2016 by merle van osdol Post: nevermind the above, found out myself :P Great! :-)
13) Message boards : Number crunching : run both regular Milky Way and N-body together? (Message 64320) Posted 7 Feb 2016 by merle van osdol Post: Can I run both regular (1.02?) Milky Way and N-body together? Using gpu for regular and cpu for N-body. What would app_config look like? Thanks The gpu only runs gpu units, not cpu units of any kind....and the n-body units do not run on the gpu, so you should be able to enable both n-body units for your cpu and then also enable gpu units for your gpu and you should be good to go. You are already running the gpu units so nothing new is needed for it. Thanks Mikey
