Mark is correct Tom.

The future of all work units will be "Guppi" or more actually BLC..since some BLC won't have guppi in their name (tends to confuse some people) I'm guilty because I was among the first to coin that term and realized later it confused alot of people.

. . I still like the imagery ....

Only problem with this argument is once there are no more non-blc, there is no work for GPUs.......

BLC is here to stay, deal with it the best we can....

Hi,

The BLC/GBT/Guppi work units complete in under 2 or 3 minutes on NVIDIA with the 1080 and the 1080Ti running 'special' app. The old CUDA 50 app is slow. The same applies to Arecibo vlars. So I don't reschedule.

. . Yep and that makes perfect sense, but I will point out the same issue that I did to Zalster a long, long time ago. 99% of contributors do not have streamlined, jet powered guppi mincers like Zalster and yourself. But there certainly is a point where the GPU power so exceeds CPU abilities that rescheduling is of little use except maybe to top up the GPU caches for the outrages.

. . In the meantime there are a lot of rigs out there that would be far more productive if using one.
