New to GPUGrid. I got been getting jobs that will not finish in deadline assigned. Whats does that mean. BOINC estimates that it will take 225 hours to do something. NOt enough to meet the 5 day deadline. . Is this how it is supposed to be. Or my NVIDIA GPU is slow one? | |

Your laptop's GPU is too slow for long tasks, therefore you should disable (uncheck the checkbox of) "ACEMD for long runs (8-12 hours on fastest GPU)" in your profile, under "GPUGrid settings". | |

OK. Per your advise unsubscribed to the Long Runs (8-12 hrs ) on the Settings. . So what is the recommended hardware to run GPUGrid. It looked like My GPU was always idle when I ran the the world Computing grid jobs. And that led me to search out for GPU grid. The projects of GPU grid looked good and for benefit of Humanity at large and I was looking to contribute my machine's idle cycles. | |

You could try Docking@Home? CPU only but is a biology project similar to GPUGRID and you could run GPUGRID tasks at the same time. | |

Your 4200M is barely able to contribute to GPUGRid, due to it's limited capabilities (not many cores). You have completed 2 normal length tasks. The second took around 4days. | |

The projects of GPU grid looked good and for benefit of Humanity at large and I was looking to contribute my machine's idle cycles. World Computing Grid is now planning to offer GPU workunits in the future, but not soon enough to announce when. I've had to add the Tthrottle BOINC add-on to my laptop to slow it down enough to prevent overheating, and also prop up the back edge to allow air to flow underneath. It's still not able to run GPUGRID at a useful speed. POEM@Home seems to provide the GPU workunits most related to medical research so far, but only for AMD/ATI-based graphics cards so far. They plan to offer similar workunits for Nvidia-based cards later. Until you get a GPU project you like, you may have to choose from these in order to persuade BOINC that since it has a GPU workunit, it can start asking for CPU workunits: http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/ http://albert.phys.uwm.edu/ (caution - in alpha testing) http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/ http://www.primegrid.com/ http://boinc.thesonntags.com/collatz/ http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/ | |
