I agree that it looks promising, but I can't help feeling that the GPU crunchers are going to get hit when they generate -12 errors (something that can't be avoided). |

It's going to be interesting to follow this over time. I followed it over time: Beta message 39533. Note that since that was posted, the number he first thought of has been doubled. So the intial spike should be even higher, and the long-term average should be lifted. But I expect the variability to remain. |

Even the autokill function should't penalize us. Because now SETI knows the application we use (CPU or GPU) and must be able not to send VLAR to GPU. So we have not to kill them. Who can agree? FF |

Over time it looks as if it is going to reward those that takes care of their WU's, and punishing those who deliberately abort them, or constantly turns in WU's that error out for one reason or another. I messed up a few days ago and lost a little over 100 WUs. They should start timing out over the next month and a half. The first of them on the 22nd of this month, the last of them on the 30th of July. By then everything should be running however they are trying to make it run so I guess these WUs will tell me what's what. My apologies to my wingmen by the way but right after I lost them I got a new bunch to replace them so I really can't detach to clear them. PROUD MEMBER OF Team Starfire World BOINC |

Wonder when the storm from the members of other projects starts after they see some of us getting somewhere around 500 or 600 credits for one GPU WU? (I got one that paid 580 credits!} PROUD MEMBER OF Team Starfire World BOINC |

I may have missed this in the plethora of opinion about the new scheduler setup, but my question is, now that the server is keeping track of CPU/GPU assignment what happens to work units that are reassigned using the rescheduler when they have been returned having been run by other than the platform to which they were originally assigned? Are they still valid? |

Are they still valid? Still valid, yes. The statistics of work done and how long it took are probably applied to the application to which they were originally assigned, though. Reassigning VLARs to the CPU may not be much problem, the run time may be similar to what they would have been on GPU. General rebalancing could have far more impact. Joe |
