Most of GPU72 appears to be operating very sluggishly.

There is a plan to merge GPU72's functionality into PrimeNet. It must be moving along well.

Not at all! As Mark stated, George, James, Madpoo and I are simply migrating GPU72 and Primenet such that Primenet will take on most of the backend responsibilities for assigning GPU TF'ing. GPU72 will continue being able to provide assignments (acting as a Proxy to Primenet), provide the "Pretty Graphs", etc. In fact, to the users there should be no apparant change.

Same as before.

OK, George and I are close to the point where we can start testing having GPU72 proxy to Primenet for TF assignments.

I'm wondering if I could ask for a couple of volunteers to help test this. Perferably at least one person who regularily gets manual assignments using the web form, and at least another using MISFIT and is willing to monitor things relatively closely to catch any SPEs.

Oh, and another thing... With the massive surge recently undertaken in DCTF, the fact that the Cat 4 "churner's" assignments have started recycling, and the fact we're going to try going to 75 in the LLTF range above (about) 66M or so, What Makes Sense should really be in the LLTF range.

Of course, everyone is (and will continue to be) free to do what ever kind of work they want.

Works beautifully for me. Grabbed 5 default DCTF assignments and the preview showed me exactly what I was going to get.

I grabbed 20 "Makes Sense" DCTF but only up to 71 instead and it worked perfectly again, including the pesky preview pane.

Thanks... However, the proxying isn't actually active yet; George and I still have a bit of tweaking to do -- possibly tomorrow.

Are you volunteering to be one of the beta testers?

New GPU72 assignment protocol...
 

[QUOTE=chalsall;391086]Are you volunteering to be one of the beta testers?[/QUOTE]

Sorry, I realize now that my statement was ambigious. I was asking for those willing to be beta testers of a new pathway. I should have been more explicit -- initially the proxying will be done for a limited number of users.

I sould (more accurately) ask that those willing to be testers please PM me your willingness, and with your Primenet Username if I don't already have it (what you use to log into Primenet with) -- this is needed for the proxying. VERY IMPORTANTLY, please don't send me your Primenet password -- I don't need it, and I don't want it! :smile:

For everyone else, please be aware that shortly "What Makes Sense" and "Let GPU72 Decide" will assign work which is logical to the project as a whole, regardless if the LLTF or the DCTF form is used. As in, if it is more logical to the project to do LLTF'ing work, the DCTF form will give LLTF assignments. WMS will continue to honor the "Pledge" level, LG72D will set it (probably to 75 for LLTF, 72 for DCTF).

The two different forms is actually a historical artifact which it's time to "refactor" out. DCTF was an after-thought, and my thinking at the time was that those who use the DCTF form only wanted to do DCTF'ing.

Those who do really only want to do DCTF'ing can choose any other option on the DCTF form, and you'll be given DCTF work. But, frankly, we're again so far ahead in DCTF that very little additional work is logical.

P.S. The new (anti-inflammatory) drugs appear to be helping! Up to 20 WPM! :smile: Unfortunately I only have another four days of them; we'll see how things go after that....

Is there any way to have a setting that:

1. Only hands out DCTF
2. At a GPU72/PrimeNet chosen bit depth?

I kind of want to "finish" all the DCTF.

I sure hope it does the trick. When you say, "another four days", is that due to limitations on how much of the stuff you can take, or some other cause? Is this anti-inflammatory a steroid?

Sorry for the probing questions. However, I am very curious about the disease, and your progress of recovery. I wish you the best possible outcomes. How is your girlfriend doing?

EDIT: I have about 6K GHz-days of DCTF in queue. When that is done, I'll probably go back to LLTF.

EDIT2: I notice that both GPU72 and PrimeNet are being unresponsive. I am presuming that might mean change is in progress!

What will be asked of the Beta Testers? I would like to continue focusing my efforts on DCTF unless there's an emergency of some sort (i.e. IBM devote all their spare cycles). If I can continue to do this but help in any way, I'd be glad. I just don't know what you need, yet.
