They already have implemented your suggestion for the Separation tasks. Your task is actually 5 single tasks bundled into one composite task. Look at the stderr.txt output of one of your tasks and you will see that there are 8 individual task parameters and 5 results in the output file. You can see that is the case by looking at the task naming. All the Separation task have bundle in their name. |

Really the easiest way to keep a fast gpu busy is the multiple clients approach in the provided link. Or this guide. https://www.overclock.net/threads/guide-setting-up-multiple-boinc-instances.1628924/ There is a publicly available custom Windows Milkyway client by Joseph Stateson that gets around the 10 minute project backoff issue. https://github.com/JStateson/MilkywayNewWork |

Just picked up a used VII and had never ran into this issue until now. Pretty Lame. Don't want to bend over backwards fiddling with multiple instances/modded clients. Guess I'll run Einstein? Unless China takes Taiwan this problem is only ever going to get worse the faster cards get. Needs solved permanently IMO. |

For what it is worth, I updated the Milkyway fix "mod" using BOINC version 7.20.2 https://github.com/JStateson/Milkyway-7-21 If you are running 7.15.0 there is no Milkyway advantage other than having 7.20.2 functionality instead of 7.14 Any problems post as an issue over at github. |

For what it is worth, I updated the Milkyway fix "mod" using BOINC version 7.20.2 Per chance does your 'fix' include the Lunatics 'fix' for Einstein as well, or is yours solely focused on Milkyway? |

For what it is worth, I updated the Milkyway fix "mod" using BOINC version 7.20.2 That Einstein mod is in Linux and AFAICT makes an improvement in performance of Linux applications. There was also a mod to BOINC: 7.17 and 7.19 It was done by Petri and possibly others using Linux This Einstein@home App (v1.0 by petri33) was built at: Apr 28 2022 18:47:15 All I have done is modify the scheduling algorithm in BOINC to bypass that 91 second delay that the Milkyway server wants. |

For what it is worth, I updated the Milkyway fix "mod" using BOINC version 7.20.2 And your mod works great!! Thank you!! |

For what it is worth, I updated the Milkyway fix "mod" using BOINC version 7.20.2 Not sure what is broken at Einstein that needs a "fix" Mikey. Can you elucidate the problem? I will try and compile Joseph's Linux BOINC client and drop it into the Lunatics AIO version of BOINC on a spare PC for beta testing his MW "fix" Only problem is all I have are Nvidia cards and he mentions they aren't fast enough to trigger the problem at MW. But I used to run into the MW Scheduler problem all the time back when I was running MW at 100% resource share. Why I asked our dev to come up with the report_delay parameter for our Pandora client which he kindly put into the cs_scheduler.cpp for me even though I was the only team member running MW at 100% at that time. |

For what it is worth, I updated the Milkyway fix "mod" using BOINC version 7.20.2 Poor choice of words, the speed-up would have been a better choice I think I will try and compile Joseph's Linux BOINC client and drop it into the Lunatics AIO version of BOINC on a spare PC for beta testing his MW "fix"[/quotd] Hmmmm that does present a problem |

As Keith mentioned, the share needs to be set to %100 to trigger the problem and be able to see if the mod works properly. AFAICT the Linux version works. The executable can be downloaded or can be built. It does not do anything special over what the 7.15 mod does, but it does work with the 7.20 Berkeley manager AFAICT. |
