I've gotten nothing but Astropulse for a few weeks now. I'm happy to crunch whatever SETI gives me, but I'd like to have some cuda work in there too. There's supposedly at least 2 kinds of WUs, but I'm only getting the one. When I tried changing my preferences to only GPU tasks, I got a "no work available" message. I tried resetting and detaching from the project, still no love. I tried increasing my cache size to 10 days and got flooded with all astropulse work. I'm running BOINC 6.5.0 on a QX9650 with a GTX260. I remember reading a short while back that the project was having scheduler problems, has that not been fixed yet? |

In the N/C forum is a similar thread running: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=52685 |

Detach and Re-attach to project I had same issue not a peep of cuda till I re-attached then it took two days of download allocation for 5 processing units(900 per day) to download 10 days in advance work for of em lol, alas, you'll then get no CPU units but ye'll probably crunch more points on a 260 then your CPU would,(my 280 gtx (xfx xxx factory oc'd edi) is doing currently 2780.65 GPU alone, also free's your CPU up for other projects so it doesnt go to waste (err gotto go and create a config file to set your boinc to 5 processor's and read it in first) I chose climateprediction.net, mostly cos i tried Astropulse but didnt get any work, and climate's got nice and fat units so not much downloadin lol(but still calculate average for ya mid-unit) (2x 450 hour, 2x 2100 hour) Hopefully they'll eventually release a recommended BOINC client complete with a scheduler capable of both CPU and GPU combined processing till then, this is working nicely. |
