Ok another question , sorry for being a big noob about this.

On my dekstop computer , when I installed it , it started using CPU and my GPU is idle , but on my laptop the CPU is idle and GPU is being used , why is that? does it randomly choose , or does it choose according to which is best between CPU and GPU for a certain device?

EDIT : Ok now both CPU and GPU are on progress on my laptop , but on my PC only the CPU is on progress , I got COVID-19 research on both devices and I didn't edit any settings in either of them.

depends on what available assignments there are.

It will pick a random project not especially Corona, any project you get will be count for CIT's total.



Also, Arran can we make it more clear that we have a giveaway here?

just a question, does this take much internet?

Only when downloading the assignment, then it will upload the results of calculations no idea if that's only when the assignment is complete or how big the upload is.

I just realised that you can view the project your GPU is doing by clicking on the bit that shows your GPU name as by default you get what the CPU is working on. My CPU is working on some weird "microorganism found in the extremely cold and hypersaline Deep Lake, Antarctica" but GPU is on a "coronavirus project".

From my experiences the WUs are between 1-20 MiB download and upload.

Ok one more question , my PC has good specs and it can handle hours of this running , but my laptop is for gaming but it's still a laptop (you know how they overheat from gaming) , my question is , will it harm my laptop if I run this on it for a long time? like overheating from games or anything of the sort? can it handle hours of it running none stop?

As long as the CPU doesn't overheat and reaches 100 Celcius you are ok, even if the CPU is at a 100%

It keeps refreshing by itself every 1 second. It looks like I press F5 all time. What the heck...
