Topic 196291

My E@H preferences are use GPU and not to use CPU, I run SETI on the CPU. Anyway I just received a new work unit called Gravitational Wave S6 LineVeto search 1.12. Since I have never seen this before, what is it? It appears to be a CPU task.

There is currently a problem with deselecting certain types of tasks, see http://einsteinathome.org/node/196286

Frankly, it looks like most

Frankly, it looks like most likely all tasks not just certain tasks. Since my post of yesterday I have been sent 2 more LineVetos, 3 Gamma-ray pulsar search #1 v0.23
and a BRP4sse, which I assume is a GPU task. As an aside when BRP4 was brought out
IIRC it was to be only a cuda task, when was that changed?

This should only affect CPU tasks. If the Client receives CPU work, it must be asking for it.

Do you have CPU tasks

Do you have CPU tasks selected. If so, de-select them. Choose only gpu tasks.

Where else besides my preferences can I deselect the cpu?

According to the scheduler

According to the scheduler log (see "last contact" on your host page) your Client still asks for CPU work, not GPU:
[pre]
2012-04-26 03:15:21.2773 [PID=32037] [send] CPU: req 59.58 sec, 0.00 instances; est delay 0.00
2012-04-26 03:15:21.2773 [PID=32037] [send] CUDA: req 0.00 sec, 0.00 instances; est delay 0.00
