For asteroids I have been running only CPU tasks.  I think with Asteroids the CPU and GPU tasks are much closer in points than some other projects where GPUs dominate.
Could be wrong though...


11 of the project's top 20 hosts do not have a GPU at all.  Unless they've been without GPU work longer than CPU tasks, I would say this supports your theory.

AVX on the CPU

 
But will post more under the Thread for the Dec POTM.

I was flying all day yesterday, and will be working in PEI Canada for a few days. Hopefully can get caught up in the forum by Sunday. Yes I saw the planned maintenance for Asteroid and figured there was time to see how well they came back online after it and make a change in plans for potm if needed.

Was thinking about the 13th of December to start potm that should slot well it looked like.

yay i'll be around for the POTM.  We doing anything the later half of december.  The folding TZC only took like 2 weeks last year so I figure the second half is still open.

Looking at the sign ups for TZC, I am estimating approximately 10 days for the first team to reach 200,000,000 (This allows some wiggle for points estimates being off).
This puts the end being around the 11th or 12th, then we have the PG challenge starting the 18th, (the 17th for Bunkering) Then Christmas vacations and such.
 
So my thought is Asteroids CPU tasks 00:00 UTC the 12th- until 00:00 UTC16th this will put us at a 4 day POTM, or we could move it to Jan.
 
Thoughts?

11-15 Dec is fine, we could run Asteroids CPU tasks at first then once TZC is over add our GPUs. 
No need for Bunkering on our own POTM IMO.
Also you cannot Bunker on PG challenges. Any Task Downloaded before the start Time and Date will not count.

Yeah was talking about bunkering for PG, so good to no that cant happen helps with the time crunches.

It is nice that PG does not allow Bunkering in their Challenges.

Looks like the Nov POTM for Milky Way was slated to start today?  Is this a go?

Yes, Maybe someone forgot to create the Thread for it.
November:  Opolis:   Milkyway   November 13-17th
I am running this Months Project.
