Just a few days ago. The Stats page in Boinc still shows a little over 12600 for me.

I've seen it recommended to leave one CPU core free to "manage" the CUDA process. Is this primarily an issue with the priority of that process? Wouldn't it improve overall throughput to make that CUDA process "below normal" instead of "low" while still using all cores? I assume BOINC does not dedicate a core to this CUDA process. But, if it just gave it CPU time when needed, it should run nearly as fast as if it had a dedicated core.
I could likely write a service that would simply monitor for this process and change the priority when it finds that process out there.
Thoughts?
OK, Fixed, I think. Why is it that whenever I add new hardware there are no tasks available?
That's one of those programs that will grab it when the process starts and give it your pre-set priority, right? I played with one of those (not for CUDA) awhile back and it seemed to work pretty good for what I was doing. I'll be interested to see how it works with CUDA - so post back in a week or so and let us know ...!
9800GT (G92) = ~5000 112:56:16 @ 635 (CPU core reserved)
Thanks. I've made the suggested change, so now it's a waiting game to see if the estimated time of the blocks is more accurate and it queues up the correct amount of WUs.
