I'm running the project "Private GFN Server" (which, despite its name, is not private), and this project has two extremely short applications, GFN-13 Prime Search, and GFN-14 Prime Search. In order to ensure that my GPU is fully utilised, I'm running 4 of these at a time, GFN-13s taking about 1 minute each (so 15 seconds per task), GFN-14s taking about 2 minutes each (30 seconds per task). | |

I think I recall WUProp captures the running tasks every 1 minute so short tasks can end up short of hours. The same thing happens at other projects with short tasks. You can load up more than needed as far as GPU util goes to extend the task length. | |

I doubled the number of running tasks from 4 to 8 (doubling their runtime to about 2 minutes), and it now seems to be tracking accurately. Thanks for the suggestion. | |
