I see tasks available on the SSP.  But I have not snagged a single one.  Just no tasks are available messages.  Are we all fighting over the few hundred shown on the SSP?

I was looking at O1OD1 search progress "Work still remaining", which shows 21.0 days (estimated).

After a 26-hour famine, I just gots lots of fresh work.  These are from data file 1051L, which is new, so the explanation offered by Gary Roberts probably applies.  On the other hand, a couple of requests by other hosts came up empty, so I suspect work generation is not up to the full momentary demand peak, but will probably catch up quite soon.

Have you 'allowed' the FGRPB1G search?  Have you set your preferences to allow your GPU to be used?  Do you have the necessary OpenCL components installed?  During startup, does BOINC properly detect your GPU?  Can you see this in the startup messages?

If the answers are 'yes' to all of this and you are still not getting any work, perhaps you don't have enough VRAM.  I'm not sure what the actual limit is these days but it may well be 1GB.

Please realise that even if you get it going, crunching is likely to be very slow and inefficient - high power use for low crunching output.  An upgrade to a relatively cheap but more modern and more power efficient GPU can be a very worthwhile exercise.

 

Cheers,
Gary.
