IMHO this should have been launched as a separate project, but as it's not I'd like to suggest having a separate league table on the dashboard for the CPU tasks. As it is, anyone just running CPU tasks is basically invisible in the project. | |

Maybe I misunderstood the plan but I thought there was going to be a separate project? | |

Yes, most likely we will award badges for that work.
I'm looking into the possibility of having a separate league table for CPU crunching. Matt | |

I also agree with having a separate credit system, but again, I think it would be best done via a separate project. We should name it CPUGrid :) To be a little ahead of future events (when a proper OpenCL application will come out) a third project should be created called APUGrid. Just kidding. But seriously the main reason I've disabled CPU work from GPUGrid is that I want to crunch for other (CPU only) projects also, and the credit comes from CPU work is negligible compared to the credit comes from GPU work. To attract more CPU crunchers, the credit comes from CPU work should be much more distinct from the credit comes from GPU work. I agree with Stoneageman: the best would be a different project for it. However I'm not sure that your infrastructure can handle the increased network traffic and data processing on your servers caused by 100000 new hosts on a new project. | |

A side effect of putting CPU contributions in the paper badges (something I would consider natural) would be that CPU-only users will be numerous but rank low - therefore pushing up GPU users. Not sure it is a bad problem. | |

We should name it CPUGrid :)My Wish is to have CPUGrid be separate from GPUGrid. I'd like to run some of your CPU WUs but not on every single computer that I run GPU WUs on. It's all or nothing the way it's configured now. So I had to pick NO CPU WUs. | |

You could look to Primegrid how they handle their badge system, badges for each subproject but all in the same credit pool. Works very well there I think. | |

(Ryle), I guess I could but with 36 computers it would be a nightmare. I do as little as possible from the server side. | |

I tried again for the last few days to turn on CPU WUs. But they do not play nice with other kids. So I had to turn it off. | |

I'd like to run some of your CPU WUs but not on every single computer that I run GPU WUs on. Maybe I'm not understanding what you want to do, but you can configure different profiles in project preferences (Default, Home, Work, School) with different choices. Then assign machines as you like to those profiles. | |

I've got 38 computers and there's no way I'm going to add that complication to the mix. Besides, My Account has errors, etc. | |

Daily limit is increased once tasks are completed. There are not enough tasks anyway. | |
