I've noticed today that solved work units come in so fast that the server can't keep up. I had to double the size of each work unit (together with the credit for it) to reduce the load on the server. Keep crunching! Thanks again! ID: 1953 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Granted some of my slower GPUs aren't too happy about it. Haha. Thanks for working on a solution quickly. We really appreciate it. ID: 1959 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I run on CPU and doubling the size maybe fine for GPU but for those who run on CPU you should also increase the deadline. ID: 1966 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Last modified: 9 Nov 2024, 13:44:53 UTC I've increased the deadline for new work units to 1 week. It is enough for all modern CPUs, if you run BOINC on more than 1 CPU core.

Not really, cause I still haven't gotten replies for my questions about Apple Silicon and Windows 11 ARM support... ID: 1972 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
