I've been a long time SETI and Einstein cruncher. With SETI going into hibernation, i am looking to add another project. i am looking to add MilkyWay to the mix. I have heard MilkyWay work units are not efficient running on Nvidia GPU cards so my plan was to limit Einstein to GPU work units, and Milky way to CPU work units. In this case, would it matter what "resource share" number I set for each project?

You'd have to disable GPUs in your milky way account page, and disable CPU jobs in the Einstein page. It's under preferences.

If you have GTX GPUs, milky way might work, but it just crashes on RTX GPUs.

WHAT!! MW gpu apps work fine here on RTX cards. Always has.

I'm guessing a mix-up between Asteroids which doesn't work on RTX, and MilkyWay which does as far as I know.

re. the question about resource share, it shouldn't matter as long as it's greater than zero, but I would just leave them equal. You can always adjust later if you add more projects.

Apologies, it was asteroids indeed that didn't work.
