I am swapping tasks differently on 2 almost identical rigs. One is sending nonVLARS from CPU to GPU, and the GPU queue keeps increasing (on most days) into the hundreds. On the other, I am using my semi-automated script (w/o Mr Kevvy's script)to send Guppis from GPU to CPU, and after 3 days of doing so, the CPU queue has gone from 100 to slightly more than 200. The later scenario had occurred to my sole alpha tester on a Core2Duo rig with a GTX 9x0, but I had assumed it was normal since the GPU:CPU ratio was greater than 10:1. But with my 2 almost identical rigs, I am left wondering: - Is this just an anomaly based on the fact that the server sometimes sends much more of one type of task; or - Is the server actually sending a different ratio of nonVLAR:guppi to the GPU than the CPU queues?
================== On my NV_SoG app rig with GTX 750 Ti, I am using Mr Kevvy's script to swap nonVLARs to GPU with Guppis to CPU. It is processing per day almost twice as many nonVLARs on GPU (~100 tasks/day) as Guppis on CPU (~54 tasks/day). My GPU queue is increasing on most days well into the hundreds and if I didn't manage it in other ways, could top the 1k. On my Cuda50 app rig with also a GTX 750 Ti, I am using my semi-automated script (made prior to Mr K's release) to move Guppis from GPU to CPU. It is processing per day twice as many nonVLARs on GPU (~110 tasks/day) as Guppis on CPU (~54 tasks/day). During the last 3 days, my CPU queue has increased from 100 to slightly over 200.
