I wouldn't run seperation at all on your CPU, those run way faster on GPUs.  Ask for only nbody on your server settings, those are CPU only jobs.  If you want to do Milkyway on CPU and GPU on the same machine, ask for Nbody only, but allow other tasks if no work is available, which will let seperation through for the GPU only.

Einstein is running

Einstein is running "Gravitational Wave Search O2 Multi-Directional 2.07 (GWnew)" jobs on the CPU machine and "Gamma-ray pulsar binary search #1" on the GPU in this system.

Does anyone know if the CPU gravity is somehow different to the GPU gravity?  Because if they're the same it's pointless to do them on the much slower CPU.  I like to put stuff on my CPUs that GPUs can't do.

>>> I like to put stuff on my CPUs that GPUs can't do.

So do I, the reason I did this is, as I thought I'd said earlier, that the GPU on one of my systems was starting to show signs of trouble, ie. the arrays of spots. The rest of the portfolio of that machine is CPU anyway, Rosetta, TN - stuff like that - I have pushed medical projects up the priority lists whilst the corona virus issue is under investigation. There were times I saw the buffer getting very small however, there are a lot of people crunching these projects at the momment, so added CPU only Einstein and Milky Way, at low priority, to take up slack, should any appear.

World Community Grid never runs out of work.  They have 5 projects running with oodles of work just now.

And I actually run everything except coronavirus on it.  Cancer kills more.

1% of those catching coronavirus die, 19% feel like shit for a couple of weeks, and 80% don't even get symptoms.  Since the world population is increasing by 82.4 million a year, coronavirus is killing only 2.2 million a year, whereas cancer is killing 9.5 million a year, we should be concentrating on that.

I, along with a number of others,  stopped running WCG over a year ago due to an issue which is not relevent here. With the CoVid situation, I figured I'd crunch some more there, I figured it was WCG that had created the issue, not the projects that run under its banner, but, to rejoin required me to start jumping through hoops, I suspended the thought. I had two accounts there, I'd crunch using "adrianxw" until I'd got my gold badge, which from memory, is 90 days CPU time, then switch to my other account.

What hoops?  It works fine for me.  I'm using an account I got a decade ago, and restarted crunching on Boinc a year ago, then started on WCG a few months back.  Back when I created the account, it was like any other Boinc project.  Now they have their own version of Boinc, but you're free not to use it.  I don't.  I want it to co-exist with other projects in the normal Boinc.

I don't remember the details.

I don't remember the details. I'll do it again and make a note.

Just went to the first step, it says I have to accept an ENORMOUS list of terms  and conditions. That is NOT like joining other BOINC projects. It's not for me.

I upped my quota for Rosetta, but frequently find it out of work now. TN always seems to have work, they have A LOT LESS crunchers, which is sad, they have recently received a gtant from AMD for their CoVid project.

Eh?  Everything has terms and conditions, just ignore them, they'll be the same as for here.  Nobody reads that crap, it'll just be something like no stealing their programs.  Hell, I was supposed to read about 10 pages of terms just to install any bit of freeware on my machine.  Guess how many I read.

TNGrid don't seem to want more crunchers, they're not advertised on Boinc's master list.  When I asked why, they said they don't have enough server power to cope with more users.  I suggested they crowd fund like SETI did, but I think they're trying out this AMD server first to see what direction to go in. The server is mainly GPU computing, so they're considering that first.  The AMD server is only there for a year, so whatever they decide to do they'll need more server to speed things up, so I don't know why they're not wanting our money.  Somebody did mention some absolutely stupid red tape in the university about charitable donations.  Oh how smooth the world would run without paper pushers, people just need to get on and do stuff.

TAXES everything money related at Universities is about taxes and how to avoid paying them and how to still get as much as they can. Felicity Huffman just went to jail, after finally pleading guilty, for paying 'bribes' to get her kids into University by paying money under the table, everyone in the money handling areas at the University are ALSO under investiagtion for how the money was handled once it got into the system. ALL EYES ARE ON ALL Universities right now because it happened alot!! The Government ALWAYS wants it's cut and for them to not get it the rules are complicated and sometimes VERY outdated.
