Neil, FYI there is an upset in the credit awarding for the latest OneChunk tasks. Only awarding ~<100 credits instead of the default 2500.

Maybe they are trying to shoo away some crunchers so the project will last longer. They stated they have already passed the 50% completion mark way ahead of schedule.

The project finished their gpu kaktwoos campaign over two weeks ago. There are no more gpu tasks for the foreseeable future.

Nothing but the one-chunk cpu tasks now.

Normally you need to check your project preferences to see whether the project is governed by GDPR regulations.

You need to specifically authorized exporting your stats to third party aggregation websites.

I like the idea of escalating badges.

But that obviously means there will be continuing work in the future to build up more levels.

The one-chunk project next candidate I guess.

Hi Neil, unexpected, but very nice to have a badge. One more for my collection.
Very cool.

Kaktwoos gpu work is finished per Neil's announcement over in the Discord Minecraft General channel. So that is the end of that project.

Maybe some new gpu project down the road.

Now concentrate on the cpu one-chunk work and move your gpus to other projects in the meantime.

Thanks for the new cpu application. Working very well on my hosts. Slowly adding RAC to my gpu app. Scales very linearly with cpu clock and elapsed time.

I was just using the tag the admins put on the app and task differentiating them from ARM.
As usual . . . . bitch about a problem in the forums and the task genie wakes up. Got tasks finally.

It is not a beta project anymore correct?

Looks like whatever you did to the server got tasks being deployed again. I am on the new kaktwoos 2.13 application. Dealing with the extended estimated runtimes of several days owing to not having established the minimum 11 validated tasks to generate an accurate APR yet.

Even though the server status shows 300K of kaktwoos work available, I keep coming up with nada for my work requests on 3 hosts.
Any explanation?

In general the Nvidia driver's interaction/usage of OpenCL is a nightmare as it happily locks a whole thread and does nothing inside the locked thread aside from syncing stuff. AMD and Intel GPUs don't have this problem.

Just need to implement non-blocking sync in the application so that the kernel doesn't spin on the wait loop. It's in the OpenCL specification. Works well for CUDA applications. Worked quite well for GPUGrid and Seti CUDA apps.
