Make sure to contribute GPU resources as the CPU ones aren't being used for C19 research.

EDIT: I have heard that CPU is also getting C19 research but not exclusively.

I wish I could. It only uses CPU on my machine, saying there are no work items for the GPU slot.

That happened to me initially too, but I left it running (on idle config) and it had obtained work by the next day when I looked.

Thanks, I've tried again after reading your reply and, indeed, it managed to pick up a GPU job rather quickly. I did disable the CPU slot, don't know if it's a coincidence but a couple days ago when I tried this first it spent several hours only running CPU work w/o any GPU.

[allannienhuis]

yes, that might be the trick. I also disabled the cpu slot.

This can be also because they're having trouble creating GPU workloads fast enough

Or because they don’t tell you how to troubleshoot when the GPU is not enabled.

I have my gpus enabled and they're often sitting idle but also sometimes doing work.
