I was crunching (Cuda23) units really well all day but now my units are stalling or hanging with a "waiting to run(0.05 CPUs + 1.00 NVIDIA GPUs)". I have nothing running in the background and no other GPU projects underway. now units that normally take 10 minutes are taking 30 with the stopping and restarting. I think its also restarting the progress each time as well. I am using dual GTX285 cards. |

Stab in the dark ..... its possible its the cpu restriction built into BOINC from 6.10.35. From that point on a new option appeared in BAM preferences - processor useage that suspends BOINC (via no cpu use - therefore affects gpu as well) if non BOINC use goes above the set value. The default is 25%. Have a look, if its set to 25, change it to zero - the latter setting means BOINC has full use of the cpu, but will back off as always when required. The main reason for the option was to allow Company admins to shut off BOINC when their staff were using terminals, not just get a slowed response. Side effect is with single home user, things like the 5 day BOINC benchmark triggers it. When it happens, all is suspended, and if on restart no checkpoints exist, it reverts to zero .....potentially the never ending WU. Long shot .... not sitting there, so cant be sure without looking at it, but the "waiting" message is a typical side effect of the "feature". |
