I have just nVidia 9600GSO. A lot of people have old cards, and can't run BOINC 24/7. WUs like KASHIF_HIVPR have to be computed for 40hours for card like mine. It's hard to complete it in time. WUs like GIANNI, IBUCH give less credit but they are processing almost 2 times faster. I'd like to see option that allows me to choose which WUs I'd like to compute. | |

I'd like to see option that allows me to choose which WUs I'd like to compute. I second that. The KASHIFs are a pain for older cards. My 9600GT just finished a KASHIF with approx. 50 hours crunch time with - obviously - no extra credit. And I had to kick it three times manually, because it was on hold for some reason. Not to speak about the upload file of about 56 MB, took me 1 1/2 hour to upload with my slow line. ;-) ____________ Member of BOINC@Heidelberg and ATA!  | |

But you can see that anybody isn't interested in it. Nobody of GPUGRID staff has written so far. End isn't that possible to make some use of checkpoints? If my task crushes at 95% - 20h it's kind of annoying. If I had a success checkpoint at 94% is there no way to load it after compute error? | |

For the larger units (not all the Kashifs are large), it was just a mistake. | |

I'd like to see the addition of what looks like ads to the bottom of threads modified so that it does not overwrite the last message or two in the thread. I couldn't read the above message until I started a reply quoting it. I'd also like to see your procedure for deciding who gets what workunits modified so that the people who return workunits quickly are more likely to get the ones that take the most computation, and people with fast communications connections get the ones expected to take the most time downloading and uploading. | |
