I was only able to grab 4 tasks at a time most of the day, but now everything seems to be good. I was able to get 150 tasks a little while ago, and now the cache is staying full.
So recently I got a Xeon Phi Knights Landing workstation for my work. I'm in the process of setting it up for benchmarking bioinformatics tools but most of the time it will be idle.
Do you guys know of projects that could be set up on it? This is running as a host processor so unlike the Knights Corner PCIe cards this can run native x86 binaries.

I checked out the top computers for MW and just a single titan black and a 750Ti (paired with an AMD card) on the whole list. Top GPUs has a 950 on top and other maxwell cards way down. Doesn't seem worth it to run my 1070 or 970.

If BIONC has a git branch for Xeon Phi I could get onto that. The advanced vectorization, many cores, and 16GB of MCDRAM can make it a very powerful system.
Yup... the MW server generates tasks in batches, sends it out in nano-seconds, then takes forever to make more... whomever gets to server first after each batch gets the most... the rest are nothing or few...
I guess I've been lucky, I've gotten just enough tasks to keep my GPU busy.......Many of the Milky Way tasks I've been getting are CPU tasks that use all 12 threads, with estimated time to completion of 8 seconds to 42 seconds.
It can be a little sporadic. Often times it will only grab a handful of tasks, and then run through 3 or four update cycles before it gives out more tasks. Full updates of over 100 tasks have been pretty rare on my cruncher with three 7970s. I changed my app_config to only run one task at a time to see if that helps out.
An update script doesn't really work, because the server will kick out the request if the previous request was too recent. This can lead to an ever increasing time between requests for new work.
The project admin did say that he was working on the WU generator, so hopefully there is some improvement as the month goes forward.
Here's hoping that's the signal for the new Gravitational Waves GPU work units they said are coming really really soon!
EDIT: Also getting No tasks available errors for UGM.... Ruh roh, I might not be able to get the 45 day badge (and 1,000 hours via WUProp)... Might have to settle for bronze (14 days) forever alongside only gold (500 hours) via WUProp. Here's hoping I can snag several more work units tomorrow!
