Hi!
Is there any way for users of F@H to select the WU that want to run on their computers?
Tnx.

Re: WU Selection
No, not explicitly!
However, to some extent you can simply by picking the client -- SMP/Uni-processor/ATI GPU/NVidia GPU all run different WU's. There is also a limited ability to filter WU's based on -advmethods and the size of the allowed WU.

Re: WU Selection
No you can't select the WU you'll get.
But you can indicate your preference : Small WU, Normal WU, Big WU with the possibility to request more experimental WU (-advmethods flag). The memory reported by your client and the CPU detection will also help to find the WU that fits better to your machine.
Keep in mind that's only a preference : if nothing fits all your preferences, the server will assign something it thinks it's the best for you or the project science.

Re: WU Selection
Tnx for your informations.I currently run GPU2 client along with SMP 6.22 Beta 2r3.I asked this q about WU selection cause I red about the new WU (4742-4747) with 1254 atoms and I wondered if it's possible to pick this WU to run in my computer.But since my client select the WUs itself I added the -advmethods on additional client parameters hoping that the next WU will be one of the new one.toTOW wrote:No you can't select the WU you'll get.
