This is a continuing problem. https://apps.foldingathome.org/serverstats . ~40K total GPU work units available whereas 0xa8 (CPU) work units is 1.2 million with low hourly assignment. It seem to peg there every time more are submitted which may mean there are even more researchers want to submit. Th...

Upon restarting the process, it would find work for the GPU but not if i leave it open. Log is saying no WUs available? Could be coincidence that work becomes available after i restart. I know there isn't a lot of GPU work (~176K vs ~1215K CPU https://apps.foldingathome.org/serverstats) I have downg...

Yes i had it set to 1 CPU in the web interface so only 1 GPU cruncher process was running. But how would that results in server connection error? I left it overnight it would not get another GPU WU. 05:34:47:I1:WU1:************************************ System ************************************ 05:3...

I downloaded the latest v8 "fah-client_8.3.17_AMD64.exe" on win10 21h1. It will get 1 work unit on startup, complete then cannot get anymore work until I kill the processes and restart. I do not know if it was able to send the result before restart. But with 7.6.21 it works just fine. Chan...

If I could expand the thread a bit... If CPU work is necessary, then why is PPID so low? I know the flops is low. Obviously the system works but I just think it could descentivize people from using their CPU cores. They could configure their clients to use less cores for some reason or another, or p...

Thanks me neither i meant a project that supports formatting a work unit for crunching with either a C or a G but not simultaneously. Ok well that answers my question then. CPU cores despite their low PPD are doing necessary work that is not coded to work with GPUs, sweet.

Thank you! That tells me that zero projects can take advantage of both GPUs and CPUs besides a CPU core needed to feed the GPU? So, no CPU work is enabled for GPU so it is all efficient? Is it allowed to list multiple core types in the table in case a project supports both? Edit: It appears multiple...

https://apps.foldingathome.org/psummary The reason why I wish this page would show the architecture compatibility of each project is, is to see if there are any projects in which CPU cores can be used efficiently i.e. no GPU support? Whereas I believe many projects support both processor architectur...
