if you're talking about the GW nvidia GPU app, yes it can use more than 1 core, that app requires a lot of CPU support to feed the GPU. I noticed this on a few systems. it tries to pull >100% of a thread, making it spill over into a second thread. will happen more on a slow CPU.

No, it's CPU app. NV GPU still idle :(
No Linux GPU app??

AFAIK if task can't run it will say that in its status. Waiting for memory or smth alike...

Usually, yep.
Ian&Steve's post looks like it explains it- the other project using the CPU resources at the time. As you suggested- Scheduling.

there are linux nvidia (and AMD/ATI) GPU app available for both GW and GRP. you have to select them in your preferences on the website.

edit, if you're talking about your 1050ti system. you don't appear to have openCL drivers installed. the Einstein apps are openCL, not CUDA

Seti@Home classic workunits: 29,492 CPU time: 134,419 hours

I am using opencl_nvidia_101 on my GTX 1060 on a Windows 10 PC running Milkyway@home provided by Science United. Happy Easter.

Please advise how to install OpenCL runtime on linux host?
(for NV and probably iGPU, if Linux could support them both )

Seti@Home classic workunits: 29,492 CPU time: 134,419 hours

I am gradually switching to Rosetta and have found this new thread very useful. I still wish to post on the "Ryzen and Threadripper" thread but if you don't read that I just chuck into the pot the info that my 2990wx with 32gb is crunching 60 threads with only an occasional one showing "waiting for memory" for a time - but it clears. Thus they can't be taking 1GB of memory at present.

I don't understand why "waiting to run"?
There are 2 CPUs. But only one CPU task working.
How to decipher "waiting to run" into some hint how to run it?

2 threads

1 thread for Seti
2nd thread for Einstein (unlike Seti, Einstein will use up to and including a full thread depending on which work unit it is. It will also, sometimes use more than 100% of a thread or 110-155% of a thread)

That second Seti work unit is waiting for cycles on one of the 2 threads so it can run.

It worked, thanks!
Now GW NV app downloading.

Ah, GPU app took whole CPU, I see. Missed that.

Thus they can't be taking 1GB of memory at present.

Most of the present Tasks need between 300-600MB RAM. Way down on the 1.3GB i have seen previously.

I attach devices to diffferent projects in particular priority list.
For now it's SARS-cov-2 study with Rosetta leading.
But Rosetta can't do GPU. So, I would like to attach to some project that study SARS-CoV-2 on GPU. And E@h comes as backup everywhere.

Sure.
It seems WCG in process of making project for that, but will it CPU only or not - time will tell. Signed up for news for now.

Yes, I have signed up to be notified as well. Looking forward to working on it.

GPUGRID does supporting research for many diseases including COVID-19, but it’s not directly for just that. They might have some more focused COVID-19 work in the future.

I think the only project doing direct COVID-19 study on GPUs is Folding@home, but that’s not on BOINC.

Had some experience with F@h on early days o days of GPU computing, with ATi HD4870 card.
They favor ATi hardware AFAIK.

Unfortunately, my ATi discrete GPU burned (with real smoke!) just before SETI hibernations (~month before).
