I use my PC as a heater during the winter and just started running again since it will be 45 tonight in Phoenix. Are there no work units to be downloaded? It keeps saying "communications deferred" and it says there is one work unit ready to download. Is there not enough work???

Currently not, I suggested expand the scientists that can contribute to this supercomputer as rushing scientists to get out work faster is not going to get anything done.

It is not the responsibility of any BOINC project to provide work units to any user for any reason. Not in the least. There are plenty of other GPU projects out there that have work to do such as Einstein, MilkyWay, Amicable Numbers, and Seti to name a few.

Please take my advice: Join those projects and remember that we are the volunteers here; we volunteer our computing power to run the work units of BOINC projects. Not all projects will have work units at all times for any number of reasons whether we like it or not. If that is not acceptable, then I suggest not running BOINC.

Again, please excuse my rant.

This is the only one I've asked this about, because it's a better project with better purpose than using my GPUs to find out if 1=0 in some strange case. That's the only reason I asked.

if this lasts through the upcoming crunchathlon, I can see all teams tied for first place at 0 units each!

I also have a backup project with E@H set to 0%. Some days my two GPUs do 1/4 to 1/2 work for E@H and not for GPUGrid.

Another question: 1070 has 8gb but opencl shows only 4 available. I assume GPU projects can only use the 4gb.

I have never messed with resource share before, how does this help?

I have one system with gtx 1070 TI and another with the slower card 1060. Occasionally the slower one has an active gpugrid WU and another queued ready to run while the faster 1070Ti has not seen a gpugrid WU in days. Both systems run e@h with 3 apps on the 1060 and 4 on the 1070 as memory is 3 and 8(4) respectivel

I'll add that I'm in the same boat - I have a small studio and use 3 computers as heaters - it's >100% efficient! ;) Instead of just converting electricity to heat, it converts electricity to computing and then, in turn, into heat! Outside temp = 37F, inside temp = 67F.

Longer rationale short, I've noticed lately that I haven't had any GPU work for my 1080 or 660Ti. Been checking every morning and at least for the past 2 weeks, they've been crunching SETI instead of GPUGrid.

My GPUGrid priority is set to 1500 to out-prioritize others set to 100 (SETI) and 50 (E@H). But it still ends up downloading tons and tons and tons of SETI WUs...

I've also got a profile set up for the 660Ti computer to only download "short work" units for GPUGrid. Turns out, it crunches through those in the same time the 1080 takes to run a long WU, so it was pretty nice!

On the 1080, since it's under-worked by SETI, I also have Folding@Home running at the same time. But since the two platforms operate independently, I have to back-off F@H when it finds a GPUGrid WU. Kind of a bugger to juggle, but that's why I hope for a steady stream of work I can have run on autopilot...

Really just posting this as a me-too and a case-in-point describing my setup. Some tips would be nice but I'm not complaining :)

I have my other projects, also E@H and S@H, set to 0% so they carry no extra queue. When there are GPUGrid tasks you have a full queue and are less likely to get tasks. To entire my GPUs are busy during downloads I have them running 2x tasks.
