I always have loads of projects, so I guess I'm not trying to get work from only one (and I would never expect to).

I've currently got 4 projects. When I started doing BOINC again recently I chose the 5 science type projects that allowed AMD GPUs - POEM, SETI, World Community Grid, Einstein, and Milky Way. Although World Community Grid is yet to produce any GPU work. And POEM has closed down.

Not getting any task either ("got 0 new tasks").

I get them, they're available most of the time, keep trying.

Easy enough to have work if you have multiple projects running at once. A project should be able to supply enough work though. Its in their own best interest to do so; short term and long term.

Workunits waiting for validation 2,046,092

Also WCG only has CPU applications right now.

I didn't realise many folk only ran one project.

And WCG was listed in the BOINC list as for AMD, so I signed up. I assume they'll get GPU work eventually?

Last 2 years no GPU work at WorldCommuntyGrid and I don't think soon. Poem project shutdown, GPUGrid only for highend Nvidia GPUs, Einstein@home left only one GPU application, Primegrid and collatz working but I don't interested them at all.

I hope database not getting error "Workunits waiting for validation
2,132,479" and growing.

I'm getting plenty GPU tasks using Einstein, SETI, Milkyway.

I was assuming the servers needed upgraded due to increased load from GPUs, and they're letting a queue build up until they get more power. Better to keep giving out WUs than to stop the validation.

I'm getting GPUs ok, but zero CPU units for the past few hours

Odd, as the server status has always shown the nbody to have a big queue. It's the modfit that runs out.

I run several CPU and GPU projects but usually one per GPU/CPU on a machine. So with MW set to 100% and E@H set to 0% on one machine it often ran out and started 2x E@H WUs which can take several hours.

I run WUProp and it counts 4x WUs at once per processor as 96 hours per day. Yesterday I was down 19 hours on MW so most of the time it was doing something else.

I setup an update script which is helping to keep the queue full but it still updates and receives no WUs sometimes.

As mentioned WCG no longer has a sub-project with GPU support. It is currently all CPU.

You have E@H set to 0% and it downloaded? By 0% do you mean the project weight? I thought 0 would stop it altogether.

The resource share in each project's preferences. If there is no other work to do it will download a unit, 2 since it's set to run 2 at a time. It shouldn't download any if I could keep plenty of MW work.

My bad, I didn't mention that I only use the M@H ATI client. It looks like there aren't any GPU task available right now? That would explain the inactivity.

Getting loads of GPU tasks for my ATI on M@H here. Also their server status shows a decent queue for both task types.

WU availability is sporadic at times for GPUs that run 100% MW.

I don't understand people running only one project, then getting upset when work isn't available. Sign up to a second project.

Radeon 280X is best in Double Precision work - all TOP computers have this specific GPU.
It is however one of the Least Efficient per W for Single Precision work.

There are two projects that require Double Precision support MW@H, and PrimeGrid. Not many people want to use cash, just to grind prime numbers.

I dedicate my 280X to MilkyWay@Home, and I'll buy new efficient GPU for Single Precision work (either GTX1080, or most likely Radeon 480).

Once upon a time I was flamed that I wish for old, almost ancient CPUs to be excluded from MW@H. It was said that we need all FLOPS that we can get. Riiight... and now we specifically ignore GPU users requests for working project... because what?

Excuse me, are you talking about me? Where did you read I was "upset"?

I'm a Boinc and M@H veteran, I know how projects work, thank you very much.

I was referring to people like mmonnin saying "WU availability is sporadic at times for GPUs that run 100% MW." IT doesn't matter to me as my GPU will go and do SETI or E@H instead.

What I don't understand though is that my CPUs are receiving M@H modfit tasks. These are the ones that can run on a GPU aren't they? There's a bigger queue of nbody, those should be given to CPUs, and let the GPUs modfit.

Asteroids@home also requires double-precision, but it supports only Nvidia CUDA unfortunately. The point is, MilkyWay is currently by far the best project if you have 7970/280X graphic cards. Of course, I also crunch for other projects when MW is out of work, but it's kinda wasteful, to crunch single-precision with Tahiti GPU. A lot of newer and more efficient graphic cards are a much better choice for single-precision work.
