Hello...Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere. If so, I have overlooked it.

I noticed this morning that my RAC has tailed off significantly recently, and when I checked BOINC Manager I noticed that I no longer appear to be running GPU work units.

I have changed nothing about my configuration on this end (aside from the most recent BOINC upgrade) and am wondering if there is an issue on my end or if there are just currently no available GPU-enabled projects/not enough to go around.

GPU Work Units?

BRP4s are no longer distributed to AMD GPUs.
BRP5s have replaced them.

So you need to choose BRP5 in your project preferences.
See the two BRP news threads in http://einsteinathome.org/community/forum/19

The run of Aricebo BRP tasks

The run of Aricebo BRP tasks has now ended for GPU's and has been replaced with the new 'Persius Arm' search.

You will need to enable this new search by logging in to your account and editing your Einstein@home preferences by simply 'ticking the box' to allow Persius arm to be run and remember to do the same in each separate venue, if applicable.

On a final note, run times for the new search are far greater than before, don't be surprised if each task takes upwards of 2-3 hours.

Thanks for the input,

Thanks for the input, everyone. I tend just to let BOINC run and ignore it, so I miss most of the actual news and important bits.

I am not getting any GPU

I am not getting any GPU tasks either. I am running on nVidia and I double-checked that BRP5 is enabled in my settings (I have had BRP5 tasks in the past, up to yesterday). According to the server stats there should be plenty of work. Any idea what is going on?
