Hello, i just viewed the serverstate.

That makes me feel a bit thoughtful.

Not sended :

ACEMD2: GPU molecular dynamics 75 Units
Long runs (8-12 hours on fastest card) 489 Units

Will there be more WUs in furture ? Or will we run out of WUs ?

Any guesses , comments on that ?

Greetings

This morning Paula anounced that she would be adding 450 tasks to the Long queue,
http://www.gpugrid.net/forum_thread.php?id=3047

The queues get replemished quite often (every few weeks). It's normal for the amount of tasks to fluctuate. I would be more concerned about the 75 normal tasks than the 400odd Long tasks. Note that tasks are auto generated, so as and when these 450 are returned new tasks are built. Unless 400 new cards suddenly attach we wont run out of tasks.

SK already said it, but just in case it wasn't clear: GPUGrid needs to get results back before new tasks are automatically generated based on the results. That's why a small queue is probably nothing to be concerned about. And that's why you get a bonus for returning results quickly :)

Don't worry, we understand you. And using a language is the best way to learn it :)
