Not Working On Preferred Project

[koffy]

I just added a Raspberry Pi and noticed it wasn't working on my preferred project and I checked my 2 windows machines and they aren't either, is there a way to force this? Certainly all are worthwhile projects but my mother has Alzheimer's so was hoping to work on that.

No, it is just a preference, not a setting that will get you WUs only from certain projects. If there are no suitable WUs for your system that meets that preference setting, you will be assigned a WU from another project that can be processed on your Raspberry Pi. Checking the list of active projects that are being done as CPU WUs, just 4 are currently for Alzheimers - 12485 to 12489. 12488 is not listed as active. There may be some GPU projects investigating issues related to Alzheimer's, but I have not checked those projects. Most of the CPU projects currently active are related to cancer or do not have a specific cause.

On GPUS these days you have a vast majority of Alzheimer's projects starting with 182, from Justin Miller. I almost only get those with a Cancer preference, and I am fine with it. Though super excited each time there is a Cancer project!
